@Graingy If you grab a base, build anything, and slap a cylinder grip on it, it will just... work.
To make a cylinder grip draggable on PC/mobile is a different story and requires xml black magic that I just copy from another existing cylinder grip.
@Graingy I guess so. They do improve moving stuff in VR (your hands "snap" to things, so it feels more realistic) though. (Although you don't need the xml magic to grab them in VR unlike you do on a screen)
@Graingy Also something, cylinder grips just work out of the box in VR. The fancy XML magic is just so you can interact with them outside of VR.
I don't think there is a weight limit. Due to physics reasons, control bases actually do have a limit to their power, but it's set ludicrously high by default. I've made control bases do black magic like hybrid spring-rotators or better springs by modifying some of this, but I have no idea how to explain it.
@Graingy Yes hehe. Made it myself using the 6dof control base.
"Anything" literally means anything that is connected to a control base. You can slap a fuselage on a control base and grab it in VR (although without a grip your hand doesn't "lock" to the grip, but rather just follows your hand).
In VR, everything perfectly matches where our hand is. Since the game is 3D, and VR is also 3D, things just... match what your hand is doing. In fact, you can slap anything on a control base and it just... works (following the control base's defined axis tho).
@Graingy They do, just keep in mind the orientation of the hand displayed on them. In VR, our virtual hands snap to things like levers and throttles if we grab them, which includes the orientation.
@Graingy I think cockpit camera relates to the sound of the cockpit (muffles things like engine sounds).
One thing, make sure everything is scaled correctly. I've had several planes I've tried where everything is just a tad on the small side. One way to do this is use the dummy that shows up when you select a seat as a reference.
It just occurred to me that I've been working on the SWL-120 since before you even created your account.
Only one more year to go! (Hopefully, school's taken up much of my time now)
I don't run Linux, but on Windows it's located in some subfolders in my AppData folder in my user folder (full path is username\AppData\LocalLow\Jundroo\SimplePlanes\Mods). Maybe look for a similar folder in your user folder?
As far as I know SimplePlanes doesn't have any DRM or anti-piracy features, so it's likely you're just looking in the wrong folders.
@Jandy I know I'm 9 months too late, but unfortunately you can't. If you try and make a variable in the variable setters called FireWeapons, for example, it will either have an error or just make a new variable of the same name (either way it won't do what you want).
@Mousewithamachinegun123 As a PC player, I would simply create an xml file (name doesn't matter), and paste in the contents posted above. I see you're on iOS, so it might be a little bit more difficult. If you'd like I can upload this plane unlisted for you.
@jamesPLANESii Thanks so much! (I've downloaded and saved them, feel free to delete them from Google Drive if you wish)
And to partially quote General Grevious, "Your mods will make a fine addition to my collection".
Imgur is not a good site to use for image hosting due to some reason.
Most people recommend postimages.org and I personally use imgbb.com.
Other than that do what @Mousewithamachinegun123 said.
(1 / (1 + pow(A - 3 + (3 * M), 2))) - (0.2 * A) - 0.1 + (0.1 * M)
I think the issue is that implied multiplication (eg 0.1(M) or 0.1M) is not supported.
(In response to your comment about the Google account) Not sure how helpful it would be, but I have an archive of (almost) all mods ever published to SP. Unless they are provided with the mod, it doesn't have Unity projects, but you can see all mods here.
@Pilotcat123 Thanks for asking, but I just feel that adding a few labels and changing some paint isn't enough to call it a a different build. If you try and add some more detail and build the entire livery that would be okay.
@L1nus Ah, I missed the stream so I didn't get to see it, all good.
I agree with you, it was built two years ago when I was still learning all my building skills and it started off as a variables testbed. I did redo the wings a few months ago but the fuselage itself is a little meh compared to my current skill.

@Graingy Basically anything you grab with your virtual reality hand follows your hand (or at least tries to). Example 1 Example 2

You didn't copy the direct link for imgbb.
@Graingy I'd say that should be alright (of course critical controls like the joystick/yoke/steering wheel and throttle should be closer than that).

Yes
+2We can control everything with our controllers actually. Detailed cockpits just make life a lot easier.
I've made several tutorials on how to use the variables system, the first of which being this one.

@MrSilverWolf The 737-800 is one of my favorite planes, followed by the 777 and 787.

+1@SimpleStudent Your bio says so and I've seen your forum posts before
+1This is a very interesting way of uploading a plane (it legit took me a few seconds to realize you have education edition)
+2@SimpleStudent No problem!
I'm still here, I guess at this point I'm quite an old player.
Lights mod
From my knowledge, Jundroo got into some legal trouble and the outcome was to ban the use of the name. That's all I know.
+1I made a point of switching everything I've done to imgbb instead of Discord as soon as I heard about this.

@Solent19 I can send you the original files in-game if you'd like though
@Solent19 It's a mod part... which is part of the mod.
@Rb2h Already been done

@jamesPLANESii Hi, just wondering if you've had a chance?
@GhostTeam2 Works now, thanks
@GhostTeam2 It's alright, I can wait, thanks for the quick response!
Hi, the google drive link isn't working, you need to set the access to "everyone with the link".
