    I remember when you first started the original B-36. I'm really looking forward to this one, even if it will be a few years.

  • do you guys use temporary saves? 7 months ago

    I have an external saving system, in that all my files aside from the active ones (currently just 7 or so SWL-120 subprojects) are stored in other folders. In my SWL-120 project folder, different subprojects such as fuselage, wings, interior, landing gear, parts of landing gear, cockpit, FMC, etc are stored in their own folders. For every few hours spent on a file, or when I choose, I drag the file to its appropriate folder, and add a number to the end of the name. I'm currently up to version 82 of the landing gear, version 22 of the nose gear, version 37 of the cockpit controls (it's the cockpit, mounted in the flight model), version 45 for the non-modded wings, and so on. I have a total of 459 archived XML files, totaling 385 megabytes.

    That's just the SWL-120, which if you think about it is one plane.

  • help??? i cant update the xml 8 months ago

    In the xml file, there is an attribute called "url". It is at the top of the xml file. You need to get the URL code of your post and place it in this attribute. More info can be found here.

  • Question about VR users 8 months ago

    @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.

  • Question about VR users 8 months ago

    @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.

  • i lost interest :( 8 months ago

    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)

  • my build for the OP challenge in the form of an xml file 8 months ago

    @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.

  • FT Code Assistance Required [Solved] 9 months ago

    (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.

  • SWL-10 10 months ago

    Set the spoiler lever to any variable, say "Spoilers", and set the exact same value for the hinge rotator. You may need to adjust some values like the direction and some multipliers.

    For the flaps I'd recommend using VTOL. Simply put that in the lever and the control surface on the wing, and again adjust values like the multiplier, direction, and min/max as required.

    Hope this helps @Numbers2

    @JJ0plane The dropbox link works fine for me, I was about to ask HellFireKoder when I checked it. I guess dropbox doesn't work for everyone, and it's in the spirit of my archive to grab any related files to a mod, so here you go.

  • Ft help 10 months ago

    @Gibble It wouldn't have the exact same effect, but another idea is to have two labels. One white, and one black. Have the white one in front of the black one, and use a time function (I recommend smooth()) to increase the alpha. This would still jump though due to it not being true hexadecimal, but it would at least be better than it currently is.

    {clamp(GS * 12.96379079, 0, 8)}
    I simplified some parts of the equation, but the /29 part is still there.
    Simply put that in the label and it should work.

  • New players, how did you learn about SimplePlanes? one year ago

    It was installed on my old iPad back in the old, old days, and I almost stopped playing twice. First time was when my kid self threw a temper tantrum that I couldn't build anything and second time was when I started playing some random mobile game (about flying planes, no building) more than SP.

    And here I am, on a high-end gaming PC making tutorials about the variables system and building my own flight simulator in the game.

  • Stop saying "FlyOut will replace SP" and here's why. one year ago

    Fun fact, it's technically possible to do basically anything in SimplePlanes if you're good enough at modding (or even in vanilla with coding). Granted, mods are PC only (android noscript mods are possible I've heard), but still.

  • World editing? one year ago

    @jimrooney If you own SPVR on PC and the base game, you will find an button to enter VR in the menu in the base game. If you do this, then it's literally SP, mods and all, just with VR. If you don't own SPVR on steam, then you can't do this unfortunately.

  • Should SP bring back android Mods? one year ago

    @HuskyDynamics01 Fun fact: when 1.9 removed android modding support, iOS technically gained two mods that were bundled with the game. This actually allowed iOS players more freedom.

    +1
  • World editing? one year ago

    It's not possible in the base game, but you can do basically anything by modding the game. This is done in Unity, and there are many tutorials explaining different aspects of this. An example of a simple map mod is this one by me, but you can literally do anything.
