A few days ago, I stumbled across a bot. As I do, I visited its comments to look for more.
Long story short, the mod queue has over 200 reports filed as "Standard "bot comment" with a link to a random website.". I found at least 100 accounts across at least 120 forum posts/crafts.
pls fix the captcha I wasted several hours of my life reporting bots
I think the reason these accounts are being hacked is reusing the same password across different sites. If one less secure site suffers a data breach, then that username and password can be tried on other sites, and if it works, then the account on that site is compromised.
On the topic of "commenting on the Veri**pro posts can get you hacked", no. Unless the hackers somehow compromise the SimplePlanes website itself (even then hacking users would be unlikely), you cannot get hacked if you don't provide any personal information or download malware.
My recommendations, at least for now, are pretty simple: change all your passwords to strong random character passwords (unique to each site), and don't click any suspicious link.
There is nothing wrong with what you did, but let me explain how the three work.
Once sets the variable to outputValue every time you click it, ignoring the time you hold it down.
Toggle works as expected, allowing you toggle the variable between outputValue and 0.
Continuous sets the variable to outputValue every time you click it, and will continue to write to it as long as you hold it down. What you forgot is if you set it to 1 using a switch set to Continuous, you need a method of setting it to 0 (The same rule applies to Once). As you do not, it stays at 1. Define a setter in the global variables panel called "Var1" and set it's expression to "0". Try using the switch. The expected behaviour occurs.
NOTE: Make sure you set the priority of the variable in the global setters to -1. Otherwise it will overwrite the switch and the variable will always be 0.

Nice presentation, and just like a few of my past suggestions, instead of saying PLz trAck jUROo, it literally designs how the whole part would function.
As someone who's spent the last 3 years making the most detailed plane in the entire game, I just like building. I don't play flight simulators because I want to build the plane myself, and I don't just make planes for flight simulators because I'm quite good at SimplePlanes.
I have both, and I strongly prefer SP. The main points are the designer and VR. I find the SR2 designer difficult to use, and it has no VR. In addition, the connection system is really confusing. I don't understand why you can't just have all connection points the same.
That being said, I have spent some time building and flying rockets. If you like flying rocket related crafts, I'd say go for it, however in my opinion, SP is still the best game for designing, coding, and flying planes.
While it is possible to achieve ultimate realism if you combine over 2 years of hard work with a quality airport, you will struggle to run this smoothly on even the best computer with today's hardware. That being said, SP is a good game to build planes. If I wanted to fly a complex airliner, I would probably get myself a flight simulator. Instead I've spent over 2 years building a plane with flight simulator realism, while learning a lot about complex aircraft systems along the way.
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes Exactly. I've been working on my SWL-120 for 2 years now, with plans to refine and further improve it next year, and I am still very interested in SP. In fact, it's the only game I've played at all the last few months.
SimplePlanes's physics are... simple. They do physics things but are not precise at all. I like to make my builds feel like they fly realistically instead of making all my parameters
(engine power, craft weight, wing area etc.) realistic.
I had a similar idea! I'm planning on making a working checklist for my new planes, so people can learn how to fly it in-game. It would have variables which control how many pages are flipped.
It's not a car, but I've made a pushback tug (same controls I guess). What I did is had two grips hidden inside the steering wheel. On the right one, I made pressing the trigger on your controller control pitch (gas). The left grip has brake when the trigger is pressed. As you can only go forward, I made a gearstick to go backwards or forwards.
Alternatively, players can plug in a set pedals and have that (PCVR only).
Hello! You will want to make a variable called anything, eg FuelRamp (idk what to call it). In that variable, put Time / 300 (Edit: don't do that, see below. Now, make a button, set its interactionType to Once (or Continuous, your choice), the outputValue to 0, and the input to be your variable name.
Edit: Don't use time. Make it a self referencing variable, where the variable is called FuelRamp, and the code in it is FuelRamp + 0.01 or something. If you use Time, the value will revert back to normal as soon as you release the button.
There's something familiar about that link... I just can't put my finger on it...
