@Rb2h The mach rings are barely visible. sad! The IRL mach rings are brighter and prettier than this. I'm gonna look to improve on this later after I finish something else.
@Graingy I don't browse X the everything app, so I only knew from my favorite subreddit that grok would do this. but that's not important.
What's really important though is the white genocide going on in South Africa. Even in SimplePlanes, the "Kill the Boer" chant has spread across this website, which will worsen white discrimination and potentially even kill our beloved members, such as:
Graingy
Tupolev Graingy
Ghost Graingy
and Burgerigy.
@Rb2h Yea you can. Just remember: it uses the variable "Throt", which is the variable for throttle, and the afterburner starts at 0.55. Also, the text and engine exhaust are connected to the white fuselage inside, which is also connected to a VTOL nozzle and a basecontroller.
Said basecontroller also has variable in it called "Exhaust", and is also also connected to 2 super small VTOL nozzles.
Everything is connected to the white fuselage inside.
@Rb2h Yes I can. I just need to disable Activate8 and throttle 100% to enable that afterburner thing.
But I have suspicions that you meant something else, you just aren't very clear. What is it?
I dislike them, for they have enslaved me. They have withheld the short-lived dopamine hit from me. I'm getting an addiction to upvotes, so anytime I don't get upvotes, my heart wrenches. My breathing chest tightens. my EGO breaks.
The pursuit of upvotes has made my EGO fragile. I wish to be free from the curse.
.
Also, they aren't really helpful in giving feedback on your stuff. Can upvotes tell you that "the flight model is AMAZING, the aircraft looks PRISTINE, really like how you did the sturdy landing gear in [mobile] LOW Physics, the aerofoil shape is so PEAK", or that "Dude the landing gear is so fragile, [insert thesis on why landing gear is fragile, and how to fix it, with some examples even]", or even "This plane looks bad honestly. The inlet doesn't look like it accounts for the air boundary layer, which can and will get turbulent at times and will mess up the airflow of the inlet to the engine. This could be problematic IRL and could mess up your engine's efficiency. Try looking at the stock Wasp's inlets. The inlet holes are abit separated from the body so it could not inhale in turbulent boundary layer flow. Another example is the J10 with its bumpy thing in the inlet. I don't know what happens in there, because honestly I just made all of these with the quotations up right now, and I need an example. An upvote surely can't tell you that, can it?"
.
Nuh uh. I don't think so, which is why commenting is more useful than upvoting. Plus, there's no tabs for upvoted stuff like in Reddit, unlike in comments where there's a tab for ALL of your comments, so you can come back to them later.
Not feeling good. Sitting on they ass and scrolling on they phone for 24 hours doesn't feel good, and it's making me sadder and weaker.

The copypasta was pretty funny. Being in the cockpit view is like wearing 2 eyepatches for accessory, for I can't see shit. Double the eyepatch, double the loss of depth perception.
Would be nice if there were more cannonballs though.
@RB107 XR-900 Geopelia from Ace Combat 3. It's got a "box" wing design, some powerful green engines, alotta missiles and one powerful laser. basically the X49 Night Raven but more curvy and also not black. It's very fast, maneuverable, and powerful.
This whole challenge is so comically high effort I cannot comprehend the effort 😭😭😭😭 Gargantuan scale of effort
.
Anyways, the Category A4 fuel guzzling thing in the TX-01 caught my attention because I happen to have knowledge related to it, so I wanted to make a quick comment about it.
.
You can have cool jet sound and not make your aircraft have BIG fuel appetite. First, separate the jet engine making cool sounds from the main craft by putting a Rotator/SmallRotator/HingeRotator between the engine and the craft, and making sure the sound engines aren't connected to the fuel having craft so it doesn't drain the fuel too quickly.
Second, take a look at the rate the craft burns fuel in different throttles and see if it drains too much or too little. Can't really explain it well right now, so:
- tweak the massScale of the Fuel Tank to give the illusion of having less fuel and less fuel burn rate (Fuel burn rate = 4.0, Fuel = 400, massScale = 0.1. Fbr x mS = perceived fuel burn rate, F x mS = perceived fuel amounts. basically, the Engine appears to be guzzling small amounts of fuel, when in reality it is guzzling LARGE amounts of fuel, it's just that the fuel's mass is downscaled to match the supposed fuel mass.. or something.)
- Play around with engine consumption rates. Your engines have nice afterburning sound but you don't like how it consumes too little fuel? Try slapping another engine and mess around with the inputControllers until you get the fuel consumption rates you want. (or you don"t? idk.) Try messing around with all sorts of jet engines, and I do mean all. Keep messing them around till you get the jet sounds, fuel consumption rate (and also thrust) juuuuuuust right.
Of course, I do recommend that you mess with both the fuel tanks and the engines, not just one of the two.
Ok, this could generate power for MY (nonexistent) local data centers, but what about me generating power for YOUR local data centers? I don't see how generating power for someone's local data center from far away could be feasible at all, plus why me to do the electricity work? I'm lazy af! I don't want to!
.
I've got a better idea. Why not just build a giant computer mouse, replace the scroll wheel with a water wheel, put the mouse upside down, and put it in a river? BOOM! now that's a better solution, and it doesn't rely on some dude with impending carpal tunnel syndrome!
@NTH Thanks, but this build doesn't use servos and gyros but a single basecontroller. This whole wingman stuff is still relatively new to me, and I also didn't really want to use rotators and gyros, so I don't have a whole lot of posts to read and go for. Can you link some post for me?
Lobotomy style eye catcher of an aircraft LMAO this is what SimplePlanes is made for! It's like a weird mystical creature from another world came down to earth. Truly bizarre aircraft, bossfight worthy design.
My only complaint here is the roll fricking sucks.
Honestly, I can't really remember much. All I know is I was interested in formula 1 cars at the time, and then I came across that one video where they explain how ground effect in formula cars work in SimplePlanes. I was like "what is a SimplePlanes?" so I downloaded it and built shitty f1 cars (the first one didn't look like an f1 car at all)
I was slowly moving from f1 shit to plane shit, and the first good plane I think I downloaded was some f-16 with a red white blue bird paint, and it flies like paper instead of heavy steel.
You guys are ALL WRONG. It's not the problem with pylons, it's not shocks, it's not pistons, hell it isn't the canopy itself.
It's those switches. It's those fucking switches. These little SHITS think they're oh so funny with their "ignore the ignoreAircraftCollisions" bullshit, they think they're too good for toggle-able hitboxes. Well guess what? I will NOT use this GARBAGE part for my builds EVER AGAIN. I will use anything other than switches to make my switches. I will REPLACE this INFERIOR part with the SUPERIOR other part made with 5 fuselage blocks and ...ok whatever, but my point is
Start messing around with fuselages and use subassemblies. Experiment with them like a crazy madman. Download other people's craft and dissect them to see wtf is up with them fuselages.
No, it's very trash, It can't fly because the tail doesn't work, and it flips over when taking off. It did a flat spin when I spawned it on Wright Final Approach.
Also some weird kraken stuff happens if it crashes hard into the water while the propeller is running. I tested this after I modified the nose to be heavy.
Because of that, I fixed up this Literal Trash.
I think fighter jets should have beefy human legs as landing gear instead.
Idk. I just like the image of fighter jets with beefy human legs (barefoot too)
my little ponyyyyyyy my little ponyyyyyyy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (I dunno how the song goes)
Also pretty nice to have some variety with AI spawned craft. Just having jets in the spawn pool gets boring after a while
@NTH "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WORD" yes you can... Also I prefer getting straight to the point instead of beating around the bush. I don't want to spend effort deciphering whatever they're saying.

+1SimplePlanes is still simple, as there are some things in this game that are quite not realistic, like wheel physics, car physics, wings and stuff.

+1Start messing around with fuselages and use subassemblies. Experiment with them like a crazy madman. Download other people's craft and dissect them to see wtf is up with them fuselages.
MAPA's AI craft tutorial is how I started doing more decent aircraft early on, i think. The Gigachad Tutorial Plane has taught me how to build sexier wings. and so much more.
You can learn so much by dissecting other people's stuff, it's insane.
