Ah the great artist, Robdisco the Beggar, who once blessed these lands with his breathtaking poetry.
I thank you for reminding me of the greatest event I was lucky enough to witness.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes Later can be any time between the post's creation and when the stars die, so technically the title isn't lying.
On a partially-related note, I've found that this website doesn't like it when you chain too much formatting, aren't tests fun?
Edit: Seems the error is caused by some combination of URL tags, more than signs and backticks, can't seem to figure out which though.
Edit 2: Apparently what causes the error is typing 8 backticks in sequence, sounds dumb but that seems to be the cause.
@aeaeaeaeae Worth noting that for screens or gauges you should still use IAS, since (at least from my undestanding) that's more accurate to how real planes display your airspeed.
@XxRxX IAS doesn't count your higher airspeed at higher altitudes and counts wind speed, GS is the exact same as TAS, except TAS counts the wind speed, meaning it counts the simulated air from the wind speed settings (which nobody ever uses tbh but I usually use GS to avoid problems with code that requires you to be moving above or below a certain speed to activate).
Also less airspeed? Wdym? I've only seen planes go faster as you rise up, unless you try to fly into space.
Use Roll*lerp(1,0.2,GS/178), this will make the elevator move less as the plane approaches 178 meters per second (about 400mph), but never below 1/5 its normal angle so you can still roll.
Also when coding it's usually better to use GS instead of IAS, because it accounts for speed differences at higher altitudes and isn't affected by the wind settings.
@Randomplayer This and this The first link allows you to rename the post, and the second works like a very restricted image host that's only useful for embedding and only accepts PNG files at a resolution of 1280x720.
@32 You want a link to it?
I can share it, but I'd remove the create tag button first, since it could cause a mess with a bunch of people creating tags for everything.
@32 Nah it ain't hacking, just a feature the devs couldn't bother removing for normal users for some reason, all I did was make a button to trigger it.
@PlaneFlightX Damn that's a lot, guessing it won't be done for another year or two.
It'll probably rise to the best of all time page pretty fast when you post it though.
@Dracul0Anderson Odd. I imagine their creators also deleted them, I don't see any reason for those posts to get removed by the mods or devs.
Also I didn't get notified of your tag for some reason, did you mispell it then correct it by editing? If so that's why, tags only work when you first send the comment.
@32 See anything funny?
And yeah it does work, works with any posts, but only the creator of the post can see edit links like tags or images.
Sole exception is the "/Forums/Edit/" links, which also work for every post and are visible as read-only to other users.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes There are only about 30 100k+ players on the Users page, do those numbers include deleted accounts like Tully2001? If so how did you get them?
Yes, though it's mostly because over time the stuff I make got too complicated to be fun.
My first plane using fuselage blocks took 3 days to make, my last one took 3 months according to the backup post date. It takes really long to add everything I learned over time to a plane.
Maybe I should try going back to building simpler stuff, it's really not worth all this effort just so a plane can look nicer.
Turns out the option to create post tags works just fine for regular users if you can figure out how to get the menu to open. Proof
Might want to fix that one lol
@Damienhiroshi Means you want to be "tagged" (hence the T) on the airplane post when it's released.
You know how you just got a notification because I mentioned your username on this comment? They're asking for me to do that when I release the plane so they get notified of it.
I might be able to still get some of them.
Not sure if the rules allow me to share them here though, I think I'd need to send them on discord or something.
11 hours? Guess I should check back tomorrow then.
For anyone who wants to try this out, it's something called "AeroCloud", here's a link. Requires making a free account to use though.
@rexzion Can confirm, I gave up after the 4th attempt.
I've saved this page on the Internet Archive, just doing my part for the preservation of history.

@aeaeaeaeae Huh.
Maybe I should look a bit more into how the airspeed types in this game work, it's a bit confusing.
@aeaeaeaeae Worth noting that for screens or gauges you should still use IAS, since (at least from my undestanding) that's more accurate to how real planes display your airspeed.
@XxRxX IAS doesn't count your higher airspeed at higher altitudes and counts wind speed, GS is the exact same as TAS, except TAS counts the wind speed, meaning it counts the simulated air from the wind speed settings (which nobody ever uses tbh but I usually use GS to avoid problems with code that requires you to be moving above or below a certain speed to activate).

@Graingy You can't get yer doubloons!

@Randomplayer This and this
The first link allows you to rename the post, and the second works like a very restricted image host that's only useful for embedding and only accepts PNG files at a resolution of 1280x720.
@32 Here you go, also included the link on my bio.
@32 Not sure where to upload it though, you think GitHub is fine? (It's what WNP78 used for his script)
@32 You want a link to it?
I can share it, but I'd remove the create tag button first, since it could cause a mess with a bunch of people creating tags for everything.
@Kangy Interesting.
Good ol' silver, looks better than the orange "gold" rank imo.
@Kangy Nope, doesn't work anymore. Upvotes previously given to unlisteds still stay, but you can't add any more.
Most of these actually work btw, sole exception is the upvote buttons for unlisted posts, which used to work but were patched out.
@32 Nah it ain't hacking, just a feature the devs couldn't bother removing for normal users for some reason, all I did was make a button to trigger it.
@XxRxX Engines ignore negative values, so clamping isn't necessary.
@PlaneFlightX Damn that's a lot, guessing it won't be done for another year or two.

@32 Yup
There is an AoA property?

@Dracul0Anderson ?
Can you give an example? I only recall one of them disappearing, and it was because the creator deleted it.
@PlaneFlightX How's the plane coming along btw? Is it like, 80% done?
Looks ugly but it's the only option afaik:
or
Kinda like chaining a bunch of if else statements, but it becomes very hard to read very fast.
I heard you can add them over multiple lines like this:
But I haven't tested it so idk if it really works.
More effort for minimal change, I can only see this being useful if you make a SAM with 30 missiles or something.
@32 This is what pops up when I click it
You know that weird tag you used on your bomb? Ever wonder why there are so few posts using it?
@32 See anything funny?
And yeah it does work, works with any posts, but only the creator of the post can see edit links like tags or images.
Sole exception is the "/Forums/Edit/" links, which also work for every post and are visible as read-only to other users.
@32 gimme a minute, I'll boot up my pc to take a screenshot rq
@32 Watching me? Impossible, the weird design choices I find on this website are far too vast and random for anyone to guess what I'll show off next.
For example, did you know you can add a description to videos just like in forums? But they aren't visible since videos don't use descriptions.
You can also add tags to your biography, but I don't know how to see them.
Does that work?
@32 I think you weren't in the tag list, maybe that's the reason?

Cool dinosaur, it's pretty detailed.
Kind of cute as well.
@WADA I haven't posted a plane in 3 months.
And idk, maybe a Cirrus SR22? It's a nice plane.
imgbb seems to go down a lot, might have to find a better image host.
You also need space below and above it
[4 spaces go here]textlike that

Oh so that's why they asked me for a rotation
Guess I'll have to wait some more, I did get a sweet technical paper on the aerodynamics of the perpetually cobra maneuvering plane though, so that's nice at least.
Edit: Not sure if attempt 2 is much better
