I dunno if people have legal rights to the stuff they make in the game or not (not like anyone would waste money taking legal action against stolen builds anyways), but imo it's fair enough that people would at least want credit on something they made, especially since detailed builds take so much work to make.
In my case I don't much care though, whenever someone does something with one of my builds I'm just happy someone cared enough about it enough to do that.
@ZemiGG What part are you trying to use multiple activation groups on? Some of them allow you to use funky trees code if you hold the Ctrl key and click on the activation group.
Fun fact: 2^31-1 (2,147,483,647) is the largest number representable as a signed 32-bit integer, and a prime number.
It's also the cause of what is known as the "Year 2038 problem", where date systems using 32-bit integers to store the Unix time (time since January 1st, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC, in seconds) will finally reach 2,147,483,647 seconds in January 19th, 2038, at 3:14:07 UTC.
The very next second, the value will roll back to it's lowest representable value, -(2^31) (-2,147,483,648), setting the date back to December 13th, 1901, 20:45:52 UTC.
The game doesn't actually simulate airflow so yeah you can't do most of those things
I guess you could probably do gears with FT but idk the code for it
Some code from a plane I made, should work for what you want I think:
ceil(smooth(clamp01(!GearDown), 1 / 3)) - floor(smooth(clamp01(!GearDown), 1 / 2))
When lowering the landing gear, this code will open the door, wait 3 seconds, then close.
When raising the gear, it does the same thing but will wait 2 seconds instead.
To change how long it waits in both cases, just change 3 and 2 to whatever number of seconds you want.
@32 lol no
I just happen to find programming interesting, and learned a thing or two playing with funky trees and later the inspect element browser tool.
My knowledge of this stuff is limited to just what you see me doing here, messing around with network requests and very basic code.
@32 The only bit of the website where security really matters is the account system, and that seems fairly secure actually.
The whole account hacking thing was probably what WNP had said, the bots tried a bunch of passwords on several accounts, got a few right, and so gained access to some of them.
It's a measure of how far away the part you're highlighting is from the cockpit camera.
For stuff the player is supposed to reach in VR, you should keep it close enough to the seat so the reach info is below 100%.
Open throttle in overload, go to PosedGrip, change previewPose to Right.
If you mean mirroring the actual throttle lever, I don't think you can do that.
Using -1 for the scale seems to work, but it places the lever a little off from the hand preview, so I imagine it'd look that way in VR as well.
@Graingy It's more or less that, since computers don't have infinite memory, floats can't represent every number, so they represents some of them and rounds the ones they can't.
Floats reserve more memory for really tiny numbers, so consequently they can't represent many of the really big ones, and so you need to round more often for those.
This is a problem for really precise stuff like calculating positions of polygons since the game can render polygons at coordinates 0.0000235 and 0.00004724 fine, but then you get to position number 29489359928384783395.0 and floats might not be able to represent that, so it rounds to the nearest coordinate it can represent which might be several kilometers away.
That's what causes all the weird gaps as you get farther and farther away from the center of the world (coordinates 0,0,0). There's a video on youtube explaining floating point numbers, I'd recommend you watch it if you want to understand this better.
Attention everyone! As... most of you probably don't know actually, KL Aviation has declared bankruptcy a few months ago, and no longer builds new aircraft.
However, we still have a massive stock of unsold aircraft, about 1000 Fishtails and 500 Jackpots.
So we, purely out of the goodness of our hearts and definitely not in an attempt to get rid of the competition like a certain oil company from the late 1800s, have decided to sell each of them for a fixed price of $1.
That's right! Just one dollar, and you can get yourself the latest in private aircraft technology, or even start your own airline company!*
Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go before those pesky lawyers start rambling about "unfair practices" or "tax evasion" again, see ya!
* you'll still need all the legal paperwork, fuel, staff and other expenses to maintain an airline company, we only sell the planes.
Tweaking airplanes is okay
It is okay to download someone else's airplane, make some tweaks, and re-upload a new variation.
In fact, the original designer may even receive bonus points.
However, if your variation does not offer any improvements over the existing airplane, then it may be removed.
If you are circumventing the predecessor/successor system, then you will be banned. Never upload a successor as an original design; give credit to the designer of its predecessor.
If you'd really rather not have people do that, you should add something in your biography page like "If you want to upload a modified version of one of my planes, ask for permission first".
@5 This one
It's the mods' thumbnail upload page, but for some reason you can use it on any post, mod or not. Just open any post, go to report it and change "/Post/ReportPost/" to "/Post/EditImages/".
Of course the thumbs you place on non-mod posts won't show up, but you can upload something, right-click the image, copy its link and use that for embedding.
Honestly I have no idea what to use anymore.
Imgur is apparently bad, a bunch of services previously free now require paid subscriptions, and imgbb, a service I thought was a good option, goes down very frequently.
There's a way to upload images directly to this site, but it only works for pngs at a resolution of exactly 1280x720.
Guess I'll try Gifyu, hopefully it doesn't turn out to have some catch as well.
Post will be ready in 10 minutes

How did you fix it? It's nice to say why so that anyone with the same problem in the future that finds this post gets a solution.
@ZemiGG Well I dunno if it works with canopies, but you could try placing SILVERPANZER's code in place of the activation group number using overload.

@32 Me messing around with the website again, speaking of which...
Notice anything funny with this post's tags?
@32 Oh that, it didn't redirect to the homepage, it was just deleted before you clicked it.
@32 I did many things, but not much recently.
If you're refering to the new tags, that was 5.
