@ColonelRelford If only the airlines and the FAA still saw it this way... Now it's all about how many boxes they can check off to hit the DEI numbers, not about the competency and experience of their flight crews.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The physical laws of aviation do not care about the race, gender identity, skin tone, or any other social "qualifiers" the flight crew may have. Aviation is the one field where skill and experience should be prioritized over all else, and it pains me that somehow this has been cast aside in order for airlines to fill more DEI checkboxes for better press.
Despite what your English teachers may tell you (it's okay, mine did too), Wikipedia is a decent source for getting basic information about a topic. It's not good to use for more in-depth research, and it's not a good source to cite (though the sources it cites could well be of use), but it's still a very good resource for general information.
As a member of the element fanbase, no.
Assuming you are meaning Potassium [subscript] 3, all that would indicate is three potassium atoms per molecule (plus this does in fact already happen - with iron - in potassium ferricyanide and several other compounds).
Also, Potassium-3 would either be a compound or an ion, not a new element. If the number of protons doesn't change, it's still potassium.
(As a final thing, allow me to introduce you to the "rumored" Helium-2, the diproton. Other than your terminology this is probably the most cursed thing you mentioned.)
Keeping the nose extra high on landing so that you come in slow also helps, if the aircraft has a tendency to dig in and nose over in the water. With some planes you want to almost bring it to a stall a few feet above the water and just let it plop down rather than trying to hold a more conventional landing airspeed all the way down to the water.
@Drewski02 You would need to replace the yoke with one of the standard Yoke parts (because I don't know how to set up the custom-built yoke with VR handgrips properly), but otherwise it should all work in VR, yes.
@marianmadalin32 To clarify, you're looking for someone to completely recreate, from a PDF document, all of the technical drawings for a P-51 Mustang (for which there are thousands) in CAD, with the only compensation being mentioned on the sponsors list on the project website?
Not sure if you're aware, but a) That's a several thousand hour job, because each drawing would literally have to be recreated by hand in AutoCAD, and b) This is a website for an airplane-building indie videogame, not a CNC or CAD forum. You may have better luck asking on a more appropriate website, but I doubt you'll find anyone willing to do several thousand CAD drawings just to get their name put on the website.
I would love to see those pictures of the progress you've made on the frames and formers, though.
Jundroo made a free version of Juno: New Origins with optional paid DLC that works out to be more expensive than just buying the regular game; Andrew got censored, then banned, then unbanned for apparently leaking something about the team's future plans that nobody actually saw before it was taken down; and my upper back hurts because I slept funny :/
How's your 2024 going so far?
Oddly enough, this is impossible (at least to my knowledge). There is no readable FT or XML parameter that outputs whether a craft is being locked or not.
Get them to make a backup of whatever's on the computer in case it decides to spontaneously kablooey (if they won't accept the battery as a reason, tell them it's for data security or something. There's lots of reasons to be doing it even if the battery isn't a problem, so I'm sure you can come up with some explanation).
I would not recommend trying to break the computer or anything. Either way, they'll get mad at you (probably claiming that it was fine until you broke it). At this point, I think the best you can do is keep pointing it out and suggesting fixes, make sure that anything valuable or important saved on the computer is moved elsewhere or at least backed up on an external drive, and wait for an "I told you so" moment. If they aren't listening to you, and they won't listen to anyone else, there's really not much else to be done.
Perhaps point it out to the TSA agent when they are going through security for the plane if it's still a concern by that point.
@O202 There are far more of us than there are of you. You have a choice to make: Either you stop antagonizing people and go back to whoever you were before all this started, or you keep trying to drive your wedge into this community in an attempt to turn us against our friends for reasons only known to you. The choice is up to you, but as it stands you are already at a net loss in terms of support.
You're right about one thing, though. This will be fun.
The "Aggressive" mode for the AI isn't "aggressive towards the player," it's just generally hostile. I'm honestly not sure if that's a bug or not because it's still technically aggressive, though it would be nice to have an option that sits between "fly around and do nothing" and "murder everything you see".
Try either increasing the total weight or decreasing the sideways traction on the tires; it's got too much grip for its weight so when you turn it goes up on two wheels, loses half of the grip, and then spins out.
Well, the entirety of a SimplePlanes download from the site is a six-byte file. That file gives you the aircraft ID (which you can also see in the plane's site URL after the /a/), which the game uses to actually download the plane's XML file (which stores the actual plane data).
Was it that one specific plane, or does it happen with many? If it's every plane, it could be your antivirus registering a false positive with the .splane file type (though I haven't heard of that before).
The reason that mods are no longer supported on Android is because Google decided to prevent "third-party" (read: player-created) code from running on their devices. Jundroo had no control over this decision, and is not responsible for the inability to support mods on Android devices. This has been the case for several years now, and is quite unlikely to change.
(As for iOS, it never supported modding to begin with, for much the same reasons).
Also, what are your statistics showing that the community has decreased in size since the 1.9 update (which officially ended game-side Android modding support since it had already been prevented by Google at that point)? I'm genuinely interested in seeing that data.
I don't think iOS can do that. On Steam it's done through the betas branch (where you can pick a specific version of the game to install/run), but I don't believe there's an equivalent feature on iOS, at least not legitimately from the App Store.
@TheOfficalMarylander You mean the "Report" button accessed by the drop-down options menu right next to the reply button, for a person to put in genuine bullying, harassment, or other problematic problems, that gets sent directly to the site moderators? Complete with a text box for the same?
@LJh1 I use a computer, but regardless planes don't take up very much space at all. To take up a single GB would require somewhere in the vicinity of three to four thousand planes, and even then that would only be 1/32 of your storage. I think there are probably other things on your phone that are taking up a lot more of your storage than SimplePlanes.
If your device is running out of storage, there are almost certainly more effective ways of fixing this than deleting your planes. SimplePlanes plane saves are quite small, actually.
I've got almost 700 planes and in total they take up less than a quarter of a gigabyte.
