@ACEPILOT109 I think his point is that the only difference between this post and its predecessor is colour. What he doesn't understand is that the predecessor is unlisted and his point is therefore invalid
@SaturnV ouch. I'm still flying my first planes because they're made of EPP. They've lasted over 3 years and have been torn in half a few times but they've glued together perfectly with no warping at all. My friend bought an expensive EPO plane that was completely destroyed within a week because the foam crushed and wouldn't return to its original form.
Tips for when you get into RC:
1. Don't buy EPO kits. Buy EPP foam kits (EPP rebounds, EPO crushes)
2. Try a 3D plane at some point and learn how to high-alpha
3. Build cheap planes out of foam board, depron or EPP from flitetest and RCgroups
4. Replicas are generally expensive and fly poorly
5. Build lots of paper planes and read up about basic aerodynamics and design
6. Build your own plane! Perhaps even try a large, RC version of your straw plane
Download Overload mod. Using that mod, set the range of the rotator to “Infinity” and speed to “10” (or anything you want to change speed). Then set the input to “Activate1”. If you follow those instructions exactly, you should have a weapon that spins infinitely when you press 1 and deactivates when you deactivate 1
Since my quadcopter did terribly, (it was specifically designed for the challenge lol) I decided to make a ground assault plane that would do a bit better. Now this can easily take out everything if you can aim well enough
But anyway, here’s my weekend:
Waaayyy too windy for planes, but alright for quads
All my quads are being refitted/built on the workbench Plays liftoff and simpleplanes all weekend
Yeah, never buy EPO aircraft if you can help it. If it was EPP, everything would bounce back to shape and would be easily glued together with no issues afterwards. I know products made of EPO are described as tough by their manufacturers but they are blatantly lying. EPP planes like the Bonsai and Reaktor are far better value for money and can take hits you wouldn’t believe.
That's just realistic mostly. Ornithopters are typically very heavy and very twisty and don't work very well. You could try diableInertiaTensors but that could make it worse. To make rotators less wobbly, add damperMultiplier in multiples of 10 at a time until it works or gets worse (eg, 10, 100, 1000...). Try preventBreaking on pistons to make them stronger
@MethaManAircraft I had a look at it but it's a bit beyond me. I can't figure out where nudged parts are attached so I can't easily edit it. It would be easier for me to create something similar from scratch
While I appreciate and am very impressed by your work, it’s not the kind of thing I would enjoy making in simpleplanes. If I wanted to make a smooth, flowing aircraft, I would use Fusion360 and actually make the aircraft. I like the simplicity of the simpleplanes style and I think it’s a fun game but I wouldn’t ever bother using scripts for it. But like I said, your stuff is still impressive, I just wouldn’t enjoy making it @SledDriver
Needs real suspension or just default wheel suspension. Wheels on a shock is simply not robust or functional enough. Have a look at different suspension types and try to recreate it
I design quadcopters and planes as a hobby, draw detailed blueprints of pretty much any gadget or vehicle in class (usually planes), watch stargate (Star Trek next), constantly think of how I can turn everyday devices into overly complex destructive devices
At this point, I only play simpleplanes for convoy assault. I will play a LOT of both because I love rockets but I also think convoy attacking is fun in simpleplanes
0.5 input, 1 thrust, 0.5 mass will give you an engine with half mass, half thrust and half fuel consumption. Half input means you will only ever reach half of the maximum normal thrust @atgxtg
Glad to hear it! If you haven’t been invited to the discord by tomorrow, I’ll do it myself. @mikoyanster is the only one with admin access to the website so only he can handle the website submissions. I’ll just hand out invites if he’s away for a while @Mostly

+1Just assuming you're going to get into RC at some point since you seem to like making planes
+2Tips for when you get into RC:

How about a Long-EZ style business jet
@F104Deathtrap Wow that thing is bad
@FLYGUY101 Just XML modding. If you have overload or an XML editor, just type "Activate1" into the input
+1Correct @atgxtg
Which platform do you use?

+1Thanks! @Hyattorama
Thanks for the spotlight! @mikoyanster
@FLYGUY101 thanks
+1You could have put a bit more effort into it. At least nudge the vtol engine inside the bus so it’s hidden and doesn’t obstruct the view
+1Anything go wrong for you? @PPLLAANNEE

Believe it or not, there is no white. It’s just the lighting that makes grey look white @randomusername
+1@randomusername That was fast! I hadn't even finished the description yet
Sounds good! @FLYGUY101
+1It looks a bit like UAV Futures original $99 build. Please don’t be offended by that, I think this is pretty good
Sounds good @FLYGUY101

+1Go ahead, have fun! @FLYGUY101
+1Yes actually. Aircraft are secured very well inside carriers but cars are usually just parked @ThomasRoderick
+2Weird. That has never happened to me. Mention it in the forums if you haven’t already. And thanks! It was designed for jumps @Maximum777
brilliant!
WOUW! SO DeTALED, U R GoOD
+1Get rid of the suspension blockers and just make the springs stiffer. Blockers trigger me

Try pulling apart other player's creations to see how they build. Try and copy other styles until you make your own style

+1Or that @stig27
Don’t worry about it. I’ll just start handing out instant invites to take some load off your shoulders @mikoyanster
No, it’s never happened to me @aplayer
+1That is seriously weird. Not sure if I’ve had it happen to me in simpleplanes but it looks like the space kraken glitch from Kerbal space program

+1I’ll make a rally version as well fairly soon @GenericWhiteGuy
+110x power and 0.1 input creates a regular power engine with 10x better efficiency. Reducing the input reduces fuel consumption
