In short, they're making some changes in the background at the moment, so some stuff may be on the fritz. I wouldn't worry about it.
@ShannonBull What do you think? Ever dabbled in thinking that advertising gambling to an audience of primarily children is illegal in many countries, during your downtime?
@ColonelRelford If a machine is deemed unnecessary or redundant when it is still required, the person responsible is probably unqualified to make that decision.
@zSmudge It's heavily modified from a build posted by someone else (that was removed at some point, hence the lack of auto-credit). The Mk.III linked towards the bottom of the description is the closest version I still have to the original. They're similar in overall layout but there are a lot of smaller differences.
"As a student juggling multiple courses and extracurricular activities" is by far the most "how do you do, fellow kids" sentence starter I think I've ever seen in one of these bot ads.
I actually learned this just the other day about the UH-60 (and derivatives). In order for it to fit inside a C-130 for transport (one of the original design specifications), the nose had to be shorter. Combined with the fuel tanks being entirely behind the main cabin, the center of gravity range was entirely aft of the main rotor, meaning that the tail rotor needed to be canted in order to trim this out and rebalance the aircraft.
The sheer psychic damage I receive from checking this website continues to increase at what is apparently now an exponential rate.
Guys it's a funny plane building game, y'all are taking this way too seriously. Go to Reddit or something to have your identity crises.
If you could have some sort of smooth engage/disengage clutch mechanism and a stupid amount of gear reductions, it would be possible to have a turboshaft Shay
sigh... you know what? I'm not even gonna say it anymore, I'm tired of having to repeat myself over and over again. Check my comment history for my answer, there should be several similar instances of it.
@spexplainedguy Depends on who you ask, honestly. I picked up Juno last year and I've been enjoying it quite a bit, but according to my Steam Year in Review I played SimplePlanes almost 250% more. Juno is fun but for me it's one of those games where I'll play it almost exclusively for a few weeks and then not play it for a few months (though another reason is I don't necessarily want my breaks from college engineering to be videogame engineering).
@spexplainedguy Honestly I'm not sure. A lot of the features that would be in SP2 (better wings, much more user-friendly interfaces, greatly expanded part customization, larger world, visual effects, etc.) are already in Juno, so I'm not sure what SP2 would bring to the table to differentiate it significantly enough to be its own product rather than a series of updates for Juno.
Started playing way back in 2015, only made an account in 2022 though.
Not a ton in terms of major changes, honestly. VR support was added and there's all sorts of cool cockpit stuff to go with that (several Funky Trees whizzes have made fully working one-part HUDs that are pretty much drop-in-and-go), but nothing revolutionary in terms of how parts go together and whatnot. The game has been officially deemed "finished" by Jundroo and development has been formally concluded (NOT "abandoned"), and they have moved on to focus on Juno: New Origins (ex-SimpleRockets 2) and whatever their next project is going to be.
Wait, I just checked, and how on earth do I have 268 followers?
The last time I posted a plane was September 2022, what are y'all following me for??
11: Post seventeen times per day and just accumulate followers through sheer brute force

@Graingy :)
@Zhixunlin23 It's a separate game so I don't see why it would be.
personally I'd agree with this in terms of the fact that it should really be SimplePlanes II
I have never been so happy to be proven wrong

Very cool!
woah
we're halfway there

How have you been bullied within 20 minutes of joining the site? That's... uncommon, to say the least.
@PPLLAANNEE your time has come
wait who decided that SimplePlanes takes place in the Atlantic
Project Flareman when
oh sorry that was me

@Graingy

@32 is it later yet
Does anyone have a claim on the Wright Isles themselves yet?
Ooh, this'll be fun. Looks great!

edit: hey look I'm famous
@Terrora69 When I downloaded it and checked, both jet engines were connected to the central shaft at the rear of the fuselage.
Check the connections on your jet engine parts.
