  • Question for VR users regarding extra switches 1.5 years ago

    I tend to make all my extra switches have complex functions (SWL-120 moment), but I'd say no, just make the functional ones more prominent and clearly label the functional and nonfunctional ones.

  • SITE IS GLITCHY! [Fixed] 1.5 years ago

    @AndrewGarrison I just noticed something with unlisted crafts, the text saying "This post is unlisted and upvoting is disabled." is squished to the side now. It seems to be caused by a "col-md-4" div nested inside another div of the same name. If you make it just one col-md-4, the div appears as it should.

    It's gotta be called SimplePlanes 2. I know it's not simple, or entirely planes, but changing the title just doesn't make sense for me.

    clamp01(GS > 97.2222) * clamp01(pingpong(sum(X), 1) > 0.5)
    Adjust the value of x to increase or decrease the beep speed.

  • do you guys use temporary saves? 1.6 years 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 1.6 years 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 1.6 years 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 1.6 years 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.

    @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] 1.7 years 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 1.8 years 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 1.8 years 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.
