  • Favorite Tank 9.0 years ago

    I honestly like way too many tanks. There is the M18 Hellcat, the M60 Patton(M60A3 looks nice without the ERA attached), the M1 Abrams(not the best looking...), the Leopard 1, the Leopard 2(at least 2A5 and later, and the 2A4. The rest are either poor or look like a brick(2A4 still does, but it still looks nice even so)), the Challenger series of tanks, WWII tanks in general, the T-14 Armata, and most of the asian tanks(K2, Type 10). But there is only two tank for me, though they aren't actual tanks IRL, nor even work in the game they are built in, but visually, best tanks I've made


    Yevata Matilda class MBT

    Korean K3 Black Panther II
    And if you recognize what game that is, good on you.

  • Northrop YF-23 v1.0 9.0 years ago

    Hope I can fly this after school... Either way, may be a worthy successor(spiritually, because they aren't actually successors of each other, but they are based off the same aircraft) to my YF-23(which was discontinued, sadly)

  • Daredevil 9.0 years ago

    ... That plane should have never won...(well, it could be worse)

  • My first plane 9.0 years ago

    ... Oh.
    my.

    @$@#$#@$@$#@%2.

  • How far SimplePlanes has gone. 9.0 years ago

    @BlueCobraplanes Well, so did yours, to be fair.

  • Bring back the Drag View (#SaveTheDragView!) 9.0 years ago

    @MrSilverWolf ` enclosing stuff.

  • Bring back the Drag View (#SaveTheDragView!) 9.0 years ago

    Bring it back or make it better!

    #SaveTheDragView!

  • The new comment system in idiotic 9.0 years ago

    @Rohan ... Just... NO. There was a very good reason why the 5 star system got removed, and never will be re-added. Also, you couldn't make that an option in your settings, even if you wanted to, or the devs decided to. The programming of the website doesn't work that way. It would have to be a universal changed to the website, it can't be done on an individual basis. And besides, there was way too many people would be become whiney if they even got 1 star short of 5 stars. The current upvote system pretty much replicates the state of that system at the time. It was either 5 stars(aka upvote now) or no rating/1 star(aka no upvote)(it was pretty rare for it to truely be in 2-4 stars, and only a few people actually used those stars in the rating system)

  • Try out the Steam beta! (version 1.3.20.0) 9.0 years ago

    can't do this yet(have to wait to get the admin password for my computer...)... Unless the devs can give me, like, a stand-alone version.

  • A problem with Kindle edition of SP 9.0 years ago

    Your supposed to search up the tags when your adding them. It's not just a thing with kindle, it's a universal thing(it even applies to PC's! It has nothing to do with device differences! It's how the website is programmed.)

  • How far SimplePlanes has gone. 9.0 years ago

    @BlueCobraplanes dude, read correctly, the ENTIRE PARAGRAPH uses 'is not' or 'are not'. And it clearly states real aircraft ARE NOT SIMPLE

  • How far SimplePlanes has gone. 9.0 years ago

    @Griffith Uhh... Just saying, people were happy, but not satisfied, especially those of us who like to build complex things(which includes me). It can be satisfied, but only when an update comes. Also should make a slogan for this...

    The world is not simple. People are not simple. Real aircraft are not simple. Coding is not simple. Simple Planes is not simple. Deal with it.

  • How far SimplePlanes has gone. 9.0 years ago

    I'm pretty sure airbrakes were added in 1.1... as well as the rotators.

  • How far SimplePlanes has gone. 9.0 years ago

    @HellFireKoder Nah... There will probably be a mini working deathstar that flies by then, with monster wheels and 2manyweapons4u. Oh, and have a battleship cannon, modded both XML and actual modding... The list really goes on, XD.

  • A SimpleThankyou- 15k 9.0 years ago

    Honestly don't follow your creations... then again, I prefer to stick to my own, and hardly follow anyone...

  • SimplePlanes Convention. 9.0 years ago

    @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries Well, honestly wouldn't matter to me. Like I said, bi-weekly, I can easily head to Milwaukee(My dad's(I seem him bi-weekly on the weekends) house is literally in Two Rivers... IIRC a suburb of Milwaukee), and even if it's not on that bi-weekly weekend, I'm only, at max, an hour away from Milwaukee.

  • Welcome to simple planes! 9.0 years ago

    Yeah, just checked on one of my super old forum threads, the title changing is still broken.(actually, from what I remember was changed, only text that was changed on this thread was the main content. Only asked because of your comment with the link put as all newbies are noobs.)

  • Welcome to simple planes! 9.0 years ago

    @bjac0 No, I mean how did they change the title of the forum thread(or you, for that matter), if at all? It's been broken for a while(and if memory serves me, is still broken).

  • Welcome to simple planes! 9.0 years ago

    @bjac0 Uhh... How in the world did they get the title changed? It's been pretty broken from what I remember

  • Somthing that minght be helpful for the community 9.0 years ago

    Might be helpful, might be not... But the devs haven't put out an update on what they are doing for a while.... It's been almost 2 months... @AndrewGarrision @PhilipTarpley @KevinMurphy @joeysellers @nathanmikeska You should probably put out another update. You said you would be doing it more often... Just figured I'd say that(well, remind you).

  • SimplePlanes Convention. 9.0 years ago

    @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries ... well, not exactly the location I was thinking of, but that works(I do live in wisconsin, after all... And considering I can see Milwaukee on weekends(bi-weekly), it doesn't hurt me that much)

  • New Moderators 9.0 years ago

    @MediocrePlanes @Skua Sorry I haven't noticed, but congratulations on becoming mods. I hope you do well :)

  • Jelly Extermination Squad! 9.0 years ago

    @Flightsonic actually, 2 points per upvote. Figured I'd correct that

  • Chibi FALKEN - PAINT FIX 9.0 years ago

    @NumzNumz Can't actually check it right now, in school... with a macbook that doesn't operate SP, or well, used to, but can't since steam got blocked.

  • Chibi FALKEN - PAINT FIX 9.0 years ago

    Looks nice, but IDK, looks too... short, and the wrong wing shape on the main wings

  • Skyle War RP : Successful Strike! 9.0 years ago

    @ShatterFox ... Did you not read what I said with the first comment thread on one of my comments? I was going to change to be a neutral party, an arms dealer, a PMC, whatever you prefer. Xenda Industries. I'm sure people would like a sort of 'store' where they can buy equipment and such. Plus it just gives me more options to play around with.

  • Ideas 9.0 years ago

    @SimpleName11 well, given the devs aren't currently developing a multiplayer function, I don't think this will happen anytime soon. For PC, there may be a multiplayer mod at some point. Otherwise, not likely.

  • Do you think... 9.0 years ago

    @dsr1aviation And then there was time time way way way back when, when even the upvote system didn't exist. Back then, it was getting praise from the reddit community that mattered. But honestly, that still does happen on occasion, and is still a good way to get your airplane noticed.

    And yeah, ze aircraft of old are UGLY.

  • Copies... 9.0 years ago

    ... honestly, I don't even know why people even complain anymore. I mean, I know they are copying, but it is still a successor to your aircraft in many cases. And sometimes it doesn't do it because of wierd glitchs with the saving. If it's intentionally avoiding the successor system, you can report them.

  • Skyle war RP : First Defeat 9.0 years ago

    Well, either way, I may switch to be a neutral party with a PMC(which I said on the other thread)

  • Skyle war RP : First Defeat 9.0 years ago

    @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries Uhh... You mean GPS? If so, that will work against bases and such, but not against moving targets as much. GPS can only lock in a coordinate, and isn't able to adjust on the fly. This would make hitting a moving target... hard, if not impossible.

  • Skyle war RP : First Defeat 9.0 years ago

    @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries Sight guided... as in optical? Then it's technically a radio guided bomb(basically an RC plane without propulsion) in that case. And as for laser and radar guided... pretty sure chaff will screw that over(that includes being radio guided. Chaff will interfere with the signals being sent to the bomb). Not that it matters, considering your throwing Nuclear weapons with those things(from your previous description).

    @Shatterfox- I may change my mind on being in Skyle, if you had read what I said before on the other thread... I mean, the RP is still in it's early stages.

  • Update Ideas 9.0 years ago

    @FrankieB ... Jundroo website.

  • Update Ideas 9.0 years ago

    @FrankieB I just figured I'd say that. I mean, we can assume it does(it would odd if the wheel went higher than the landing gear slot... or whatever), but let's not get our hopes up. And if you were subscribed to Jundroo, you got an email on it.

  • Update Ideas 9.0 years ago

    @Shawniepie Landing gear wheels. They didn't say anything about adjustable length.

  • Future update ideas! 9.0 years ago

    @Skua It would be nice to be able to set the rotation to false on the nozzles, though, without XML. And for what he said on fuel... You know what would be better than dedicated fuel tanks(which we can already make)? Fuel routing options!(EG make fuel pods run out before the other fuel in other parts of the aircraft)

  • Future update ideas! 9.0 years ago

    @Skua Or, in the case of XMLing, you can actually set it to be 'false' and make them disabled regardless.

  • A career mode 9.0 years ago

    Ehh... Doesn't really play out. KSP is supposed to be a simulator of rockets, and so had the idea for a career mode in mind from the beginning. Simple planes is supposed to be a free building game, not limited by any sort of monitary thing.

    @jsaret I think he meant something like KSP. No iAP's, but there is a gamemode which allows you to make a space program from the ground up. Doesn't really fit SP though. And as for the iAP's... They'd probably have it for maps only, as doing that with parts is a bit... unfair to the community in general, if you know what I mean. And people would be willing to pay for an iAP or add-on with maps(at least with mobile. Computer players would be a bit more... difficult. Though again, if it was something you had to buy, they would gladly do it in most cases. The devs are great :) )

  • Skyle War RP 9.0 years ago

    @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries Uhh... A 2MT nuke would do much more than just destroy the whitehouse.... How about almost all of Washington DC?

    I suggest nukemap for testing those nukes http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

  • Skyle War RP 9.0 years ago

    @ShatterFox Well, if you don't want research, that's fine. I just like doing because I could do experimental weapons(MAC, railgun, plasma thrower, etc). Though, given most of this is going to be based off the game... IDK. I mean, it's your choice if you want research or not(plus, it could cause issues with... people making things that shouldn't be possible, or would ruin balance). And now that I think about it, I'd probably be a better engineer than a pilot for Skyle(I mean, I build pretty high performance aircraft, so I could probably be some kind of engineer(or head engineer? IDK, it really depends on which will give me the ability to develop ground and sea forces as well. What, I like building tanks and ships.))

    And if Anarchist is bringing his thing.... Hmm... I'm considering if I should consider adding Xenda Industries(basically a PMC) as some kind of neutral party?(at least at the start) I mean, there is that option too, of being a private military contractor that builds aircraft and other vehicles for the factions, and maybe even lend elite training and such. Of course, everything comes with a cost :)

  • Skyle War RP 9.0 years ago

    Hmm... I might take Skyle(I rarely build indestructible aircraft, though...). And like I said, I like science, so I'd also like to maybe be a scientist as well as a pilot? IDK. Don't really know, the rules of this RP haven't really been set, and IDK if research is scripted(AKA no control, it just happens at certain intervals and can't be chosen). As for aircraft, I could probably build a lot of things, from bombers to fighters and anything in between. May utilize specialized versions of my current aircraft(AC, namely), but those designs would have to wait until this weekend...

  • Skyle War RP 9.0 years ago

    ... Honestly would love to join this, but which side to choose...(BTW I like science, so being a scientist or a pilot would work(Or both for the same side, if that is even possible). What? I like messing with ideas of technology in my head. And I'm also a decent pilot(In SP... Doesn't speak much of my skill).)

    Oh, and a thing about A.S.C.B.A. ... Wouldn't it be more than those 5? We are talking about a global threat here, after all.

  • New website format? 9.0 years ago

    @Nickasaurus That's what I think. But yeah, the way I mentioned it is actually how wikia does it on it's pages... starting threads go from newest to oldest, comments replying to those threads go from oldest to newest, in the direction of top to bottom. Their forums just go straight down, though :/ . But yeah. Not nitpicking or anything, but the sudden change is weird, to say the least. Plus, given it's a minor website update, it doesn't really... fit just yet. Hope they add more renovation to the system, as right now the new way the comments are displayed is out of place with the rest of the site.

  • New website format? 9.0 years ago

    @Nickasaurus ????? IDK. Might be a format thing. Here is a test for that

  • New website format? 9.0 years ago

    Honestly, if this had comment sub-threads, then it would be perfectly fine. But as it currently stands, it's sorta... weird to have this going the way it is with the comments. Otherwise, I'm fine with it. And if they added sub threads into the comments, that would actually make it easier to understand(as it would make cause-effect easier to read(comments that comment on other people, namely)

  • Strange Machines Competition 9.0 years ago

    Hmm... Might join, who knows. Plus I get to make something on my ipad that it would be great at.

  • Ace Combat Challenge: End 9.0 years ago

    @SteadfastContracting Nobody was really posting aircraft...

  • Crashing on iOS 9.0 years ago

    @Barbod03 Well, I never said it doesn't crash, it's just rare. Though, if anything, it crashes when I try to upload anything...

  • VK community group challenge! 9.0 years ago

    ... Don't know if this will go well. Especially considering it has to do with VK... VK is Russian. And most people here can't read Russian, or even know how to talk or type a single bit of Russian. Hardly able to be an international community thing unless a lot of your group is able to speak plain English, or at least have some kind of translator as a middle man. Just my 2 cents.

  • Crashing on iOS 9.0 years ago

    Oh, and as far as I've played on my iPad(it's kinda gone to the way side, to be completely honest), it hasn't really crashed all that much, with anything. Ipad mini 1st gen, 8.3 iOS(I'm a JB user. What do you expect?) Most everything is medium/low except for physics, which I always keep on high regardless of the other settings.
