  • Another day in SimplePains ™ 2.2 years ago

    Dragging parts? Never heard of it.
    I thought everyone carefully added a part away from the build and used the nudge and part connections tools to add it to the plane.

    @RepublicOfCursedPlanes Oh, if you mean the plane in the images, it's actually a different plane entirely. I just use the same general fuselage construction for all my planes.

  • I need XML help! 2.2 years ago

    I would use clamp01(!Activate5) * Input
    Replace Input with Pitch, Roll, or Yaw based on what control surface you are replacing.

  • How to make a afterburner that turns on after a certain speed and throttle 2.2 years ago

    @SPAircraftOfficial @Maver1ck To further improve this code, use:
    clamp01(Throttle > 0.8 & IAS > 857.5)
    Is 1 when the conditions specified in the post are true, otherwise it is 0.

  • car engine question 2.3 years ago

    You can give the engine more HP and using some FT to make the input change based on the angle
    (Pitch * X) * (PitchAngle / Y)
    Replace X with something like 0.75, and Y with something like 20. Increasing Y will add less power, and decreasing it will add more power.

  • Wright Island Weekly #2 2.3 years ago

    @XAircraftManufacturer I'd say tagging players who are featured in posts like this is a grey area. Normally I wouldn't want to be tagged, but since I was featured here I'm personally alright with it.

  • HUD in other units 2.3 years ago

    I guess I could have a look. It should be a simple case of adding multipliers to the input wherever it shows up in the label code.

  • How do I get my airplane to have a realistic deceleration rate without drastically increasing drag? 2.3 years ago

    Add an engine with a low max throttle (in xml) and a suitable power multiplier, and maybe write some code to make it a function of airspeed

  • Bug thread for v1.12.128 (current version) 2.3 years ago

    Some mods have a really weird experience in VR where they only render in the left eye, in particular these mods. Do you have any recommendations on Unity settings to change for the mod authors?

    Great mod, but there is this weird issue in VR where only the left eye can see the airport. All your other mods have this weird issue.

    My SWL-120 has some of these, and I've separated them for your inspection. Note the variable setters and buttons used to control them (APU E-Stop is irrelevant to the dials).

  • This game is now pretty boring, 2.4 years ago

    The SimplePlanes map is perfectly fine. If it were any more complex I wouldn't be able to run my planes. SimplePlanes is about building planes, not so much exploring.

  • Navigation; multiple conditional statements 2.4 years ago

  • Navigation; multiple conditional statements 2.4 years ago

    @Korzalerke2147483647 I haven't done much work on the plane, but it's getting there. It's missing the autopilot, ILS, autoland, backend FMC stuff, and a bunch of random cockpit switches.
    Before I publish the plane I also need to make a tutorial video, pdf manual, pdf checklist, charts, and airport vehicles (player controlled AI, it's going to be epic)

  • Coding for a rotator 2.4 years ago

    @Skykid028 That's alright. To simplify that code, you could do clamp(Pitch + Roll, -1, 1) * clamp(1 - (IAS / 500), 0.1, 1).

  • SOLVED : How to: move an indicator arrow like a clock "arrow" ? 2.5 years ago

    There are two ways to do this.
    1. Use the voffset and pos tags to move the arrow around the label as you rotate it
    2. Use a control base (or rotator), and a fuselage or two
    I'd recommend option 2, sometimes mechanical displays are better than 2 pages of text code for a single arrow.

  • The Flight Management Computer - SWL-120 Progress Update 6 2.5 years ago

    @TinyMaus
    [copied from SWL-10, better suited here]

    Thanks! My goal for the SWL-120 is to make it like a real flight sim - separate throttle control, pushback tug, refueling tanker (you can spawn and control these yourself), full interior, everything.

    I have an overclocked 11900K and barely get 60fps with the full assembly right now. The plane is fairly GPU heavy due to a modding trick I'm using, I have a 3060 but plan to upgrade eventually. I do have a no mods version which should be less of an impact than the full version. It's going to be cargo, that way I can have a "full interior" which is just empty. I'm also going to try and make a cockpit only version, for VR.

  • How do I make vr compatible turn knobs? 2.6 years ago

    I use a rotator, a magnet, and two buttons. The magnet just serves as a detailed knob (not a magnet). The rotator and magnet are just for show. The two buttons increase and decrease the value of the "knob".
