About my actual computer, it's a custom build with an i9-11900k and RTX 4070ti, with suitable components to match. I built it four years ago with a 3060 and have since upgraded the GPU. I also have my even older gaming laptop, an Acer Nitro 5 with a i7-8750H and 1050, which I use to test performance sometimes (or when I'm away from home). I can run the full plane without the cockpit (still all the 30,000 parts modded to 900) at 30FPS, and 6FPS with the cockpit added (there is a lot of code there).
Just realized I typed a whole essay lol, but it should explain how my building works and how I can achieve this level of detail and have it still be playable.
(Comment got cut off, so I split it and also moved it so it reads in order)
@OverlordPrime NASA computer, although any mid range computer with a decent GPU can run the entire fuselage and interior with playable FPS.
The cockpit is another story, as I get 30FPS with my main rig and 6FPS with my mid range gaming laptop.
@fleia262 With me, coding in the variables window is impossible due to the complexity of my code (in fact, 1000 variables is after I simplified and improved the code from 2000!). Some variables contain giant paragraphs of code, which is beyond impossible to deal with in the window. In fact, I don't just use one notepad window; I used over four monitors of code and diagrams when I was developing the FMC.
I read the last paragraph about variables, and there is a solution: use a text editor.
My plane has over 1000 variables, some being absurdly complex, and I just do all the coding in notepad++.
With labels, most tags have closing tags (the ones with the slash in them). Here's a document explaining all the tags.
About the trigonometry, I have no idea. I modified the HUD to suit my own plane (2 years ago), and I just left some stuff as-is, including this.
The startup sequence and overall interactivity on this plane is incredible! I'm impressed with how realistic and complicated the systems are (although it took me a while to get the engines started lol).
My main recommendation is to make all the controls useable on PC, as it's simply impossible to use the flaps, spoiler lever, or reverse thrust (even though I clicked the switch??). If you're interested, here is the throttle quadrant of my plane, which allows for inputs of both normal flight inputs or moving manually in VR or with a mouse.
@winterro I agree. I've reported hundreds of these comments, and there seems to be no end to them. Even I accidentally clicked on one link, because they disguised a link as something like @PlaneFlightX, and I wanted to visit the account page. One change they have made so far is to prevent markdown from working for users with less than 100 points, which makes links more obvious but the fact they are there at all is still a problem.
Edit: they seem to have fixed that exploit as well, as even though I wrote [@PlaneFlightX](https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1985008), my account page takes priority over the forum.
Edit 2: it works, but you need to separate the @ symbol from the username.
With the latest SP update the terrain texture is all white, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but if you could fix the texture that would be great.
@RGaming00 Hello, forgot about this until now, but the FMC is insanely complicated, so much so that even I rely on my own notes to make modifications to it. What I can do is ask you to watch the five videos linked on this post for a general overview. Here is some of the actual documentation and notes from when I made it, and you can download the FMC itself here. The best way to explain it is there are three main components, those being the label (to display the information), the entry, storage, and retrieval system, and the system to change pages. If you take the time to view the linked resources (in particular the linked documentation), I can explain any confusing parts. I highly recommend you thoroughly explore the FMC itself and the notes, as it's a lot easier than me trying to explain everything over text.
@LunarEclipseSP that would need a lot of storage space though; it's not anywhere near video but it's still more than just xml files or the occasional mod
@32 You need both normal SP and SPVR, but mods do in fact work almost perfectly. I should note that a select few only render to one eye for some reason, but the majority and anything I make are perfectly fine.
@YarisSedan well he actually did make another and spammed f bombs for an hour, but I dm'd FFF in discord and he said they are working on an IP ban. As of now the new new new new alt account is banned and comments are purged.
@YarisSedan bruhhhh
I wonder how long it will take him to get tired.
There was another incident with DaddysTruck and his chain of alts about 1.5 years ago, and it took a month or two until he got bored
@YarisSedan So I checked it out
When you press the button, the top opens and a hand with the middle finger raised comes out.
Written on the inside of the top is swearing and hate speech against RamboJutter and some of the mods.
This is 100% the user known as AeroSultan and TheAvengers.
Some of those features could be useful, although I am extremely proficient (muscle memory too) with using the existing building methods, and I simply could not use the SR2 interface. From the teaser screenshots it seems to be very similar to the current SP, and I hope it stays that way (at least in terms of existing features and the layout). That said, new features can be useful, although they should complement/be an alternative to the existing tools, instead of replacing them.
@GuyWhoBuildStuff I'm not a dev, but the reason of doing a staged rollout (or similar) of a feature is to be able to fix critical bugs or improve features with a smaller group. Its like this in any large product or service when they add features.
I think the reason it's done by points is because there are less users with lots of points, and this serves as an easy way to get a small test group, and then go from there. Again I am not a dev, I'm just guessing the reason for the delay
@AndrewGarrison yeah my favorites has been cleared entirely.
In my own opinion, I think essentially hiding everything older than a year (aside from visiting posts directly or via a user's posts) isn't the best idea.
Just wondering, how much of an impact does it make if you keep the ability to do ?d=0 for the highest rated post, but hide the all time button?
@AndrewGarrison Thanks for the explanation! That does make sense for the all time page (although skilled users can select any date range which is cool).
Edit: it would appear the date range is limited to 365, rip older planes then
I have a question about the users page, where did the Quarter and Year buttons go? The period=Quarter and period=Year urls still work, but the buttons are gone now.
Also on the topic of buttons, what happened to the Devs button on the Users page, and the All Time button on the highest rated page?

Everything is set to high during normal use (some stuff is changed when I'm doing complex things like taking orthographic pictures of islands)
+1@ThomasRoderick I tested it and added it to the list.
+1@rimiha I am using Brave on Windows 11, in a private window (this is what I always use). I don't think I can change the scrolling settings though.
I viewed the map on my phone and I can zoom normally there, so it seems to be limited to mouse users.
+1@rimiha It works a lot better now, although scrolling is still very buggy. One single notch on my scroll wheel jumps from min zoom to max zoom.
@ShinyGemsBro I have the same issue
@LunarEclipseSP that would need a lot of storage space though; it's not anywhere near video but it's still more than just xml files or the occasional mod

@YarisSedan can't wait to report them into the 9th dimension!
+1@YarisSedan looks like he just got cleaned up as I get sent to the homepage now when I try to refresh his comments
His forum posts are gone as well
I think automod removed this post due to a high number of reports, not the mods.
@YarisSedan he's at it again (spamming comments)
@YarisSedan I don't even know how that can cause someone to go off like that
@YarisSedan bruhhhh

+1Might as well check it out before the entire account gets nuked
@VeroViper yeah the problem with that is it could be abused
although we have a valid use case here
@VeroViper Thank you
+1hopefully the mods can clean up the rest
@StrangeStacker You're going to get banned.
@StrangeStacker No, stop posting this. I'm reporting every single comment you post.
when you can't use the actual name of a company but still want to make a replica
+1@StockPlanesRemastered yes
bruh forgot to download the old one (although there's no version change and it's like the fix with 0.71 so no problem here).
@WinsWings Thanks!
