Well, it was announced less than two weeks ago and currently the only publicly available information that could be used for hype is the reveal trailer, which was mainly designed to appeal to existing players anyway. Extensive advertising at this point wouldn't help.
Q: What will happen to SimplePlanes.com when SimplePlanes 2 comes out?
A: SimplePlanes.com will continue to serve the community as it does now, and we will expand its capabilities to support uploads from SimplePlanes 2.

"The B-29 cost $3 billion ($49 today)"
"In April 1939, Charles Lindbergh sent General Henry Arnold to help Germany develop a new bomb. It weighed 9,100 kg (20,000 lb), had a length of 4,292 km (2,667 mi) and a radius of 640 km (400 mi). Q) Does Boeing meet industry standards?"
"Racing is a combination of high speed and high speed. The last version, not the first version, had a cannon and a periscope and was first flown in 1942. With a fire extinguisher."
"When the operator lifts the pipe, the operator lifts it. This must be taken into account."
"The Japanese army is easier to attack than the Chinese army."
"The capital of Egypt can be reached in 40 hours by car. [Picture on page 68]"
"The P-8 was introduced in 1936 and was the only aircraft in the military."
"The B-50 Superfortress (formerly the B-29D) is used in transportation, cyber defense, and other industries such as oil and aviation."
I dunno lol, now that it's been locked down I'm not really sure what to do with it. Finding out who started it would be a good start but there's not a good way to do that if they don't come forward since the email associated with it is gibberish.
@TheMouse SP2 has definitely become a very strong contender based on today's info, though given how small the Jundroo team is, I'm not expecting a full new game to drop tomorrow (though it's certainly a possibility). Whatever's happening, it's definitely specific to SimplePlanes because the same date is not present on the Juno: New Origins site. I'm very excited to see what we get tomorrow!
Didn't you post this exact thing like six months ago or something? I recall reading this exact story in one of your other posts a while back.
'Course, it's hard to say because you delete most of your forums after a week or so anyway.
@ColonelRelford Can you rephrase that? I don't understand what you're trying to get at. This has become an oddly specific inquiry; is it based on anything in particular?
@ColonelRelford In that case, someone needs to reevaluate the spending decisions of whoever oversees the machines. From a financial perspective, if you have a part (or machine) that will let you do a job quicker and more cheaply, but you keep it on reserve in favor of an inferior part or machine, you've made a very peculiar decision and are not running the machines as efficiently as possible.
Depends on how you define machine, and whether you consider a human to fit that definition.
But I'm pretty sure that a human flying a plane will have more success than a plane flying the human, if that answers the second part.
"Hando" is very particular about their copyrights and trademarks, as in they don't want anyone else using them. This is not something specific to SimplePlanes, nor is it a recent thing (Even the one for MSFS that costs like $40 is simply the "HJet").
why was the gear so slow
why did the gear CATCH FIRE FOR NO REASON
where did the nose gear go
what was that physics-defying bounce
why did the engines decide to fall off and then spectacularly detonate
what were the last two seconds of the video
what does the song have to do with it
there are so many questions and none of them are worth answering
If you ask me, this is where prioritizing quotas, DEI, and political correctness over actual skill, experience, and the ability to say no will get you. Aviation is the one field where skill and experience should be prioritized over all else, and in my opinion what we're seeing is what happens when these are placed in the back seat in favor of fitting whatever agenda is the current hot topic.
(It's really unfortunate for me actually because in a year or two I might be working there on an internship. I wish I could say I still looked forward to that like I did when I was a kid, but I can't anymore.)

A dc10 means the player needs to roll a 10 or higher to pass whatever check or save (stealth, insight, perception, etc.) they need to do in order to succeed.
D&D joke that didn't land (ironically) (wait now I'm meta-referencing, this is trippy)
Easier to see relative to the drawings, which are usually black on white.

@Airgaurdian I'm confused as to why you're saying that you do something that pretty much anyone on the site can do.

Ooh very nice, the updated materials look great!
+1Yep, this is a bug that showed up after the last update.

Downloading and upvoting works normally for me as of now (Firefox 125.0.2).
