The two reasons your posts get removed are you bypass the autocredit system, and the liveries are also not enough modifications. Additionally, FoxtrotCharlieCharlieX has a policy against using his aircraft for any reason other than to download and fly.
About the moderators removing your crafts, there is a function of the website called "automod". It is not a moderator, but can remove crafts, when, for example, there are a number of reports created. The moderators always (or mostly always, again I am not a moderator) write a comment to briefly explain why they remove a craft. If there is no such comment on the removed craft in question, then it is safe to assume automod removed it due to a large number of reports.
This is a perfect example of what a successor of an upload should be. You took the original nose, and then instead of adding a fuselage and saying it's done, you built a reasonably detailed plane around it. Good job!
This looks pretty good, but it can be even better. The five part airfoil technique allows for more advanced and smooth airfoils with more details. Here's part 1 of a tutorial on making it. (Sorry if I sound like a salesperson lol)
@IceCraftGaming In fact, I have ideas for making a plane where I 3D model lots of parts of it in an external application (fuselage base and wing root, then wing segments, then doors and large moving things), then make a mod which adds all those parts, and assemble it in SP for a part count of around 100 ish parts. Good for potato PC users.
In other news, April Fools Day is not the right time to post actual good content. Not only will it be buried by the jokes, people might think it's a joke. Here is an example of a great build which suffered this fate.
@JustWingIt Well I guess it's maybe advertising? Around page 5000 or so they all have some random link in the bio. There was also the funny one about a law firm advertising here. Ah yes a bunch of 14 year old aviation enthusiasts will need a lawyer.
Bug: RPM gauges automatically change to RotorRPM/600. I keep putting Engine1RPM/600 in (defined by the output of an engine), and I save and reload, and it changes.
To replicate, grab a dial, change it to RPM, and then put any input in. It will change upon reload.
Upon further testing, this affects ALL gauges with custom inputs. They will revert back to their default values.
Upon yet more testing, this is because the gauge doesn't change to "custom", and custom gauges work fine. The bug occurs when just the FT input to a gauge is changed. The gauge doesn't automatically change to custom.
@jamesPLANESii @BeastHunter Then there's like all the advanced builders who just have a single part with calculateDrag true, the rest are false. To improve performance.

The gear codes you are describing are this:
Gear Doors (Ones which stay open if the gear is down): (ceil(smooth(clamp01(GearDown), GearDown ? pow(10, 10) : 1 / 10.75 ))
Gear Doors (Open when gear is being retracted or extended): clamp01(abs((40 * abs(smooth((LandingGear - 0.5), 0.09))) - 20))
Gear (The landing gear): clamp01(smooth((GearDown * -2) , 1.1))
This is a bug when you have too many planes saved. I personally archive the ones I don't use in another folder, or you could back them up as unlisted posts.
Your forum posts with imgbb appear to load fine and the ones using Discord are obviously broken. My own forums with imgbb also work fine.
Maybe some sort of internet issue in your area?
@HuskyDynamics01 SPVR is a standalone game, which is just the VR aspect. SimplePlanes by itself is not VR. Buying both unlocks VR in the base game, allowing you to enter VR right after building something. You only need SPVR to fly in VR.
It was taking off from Tarpley Airfield (aka Wright Airport), flying the old, old P-51 Mustang in orbit view on iOS (this was very soon after SP was released) without understanding how to move the camera, so I was stuck in one position in orbit view.
There are many more memories but this is my first.
@ToeTips Honestly the moment I saw the words "accident" and "SWL-120" on the same post.

+4FT inputs for brakes is the feature I'd like the most. Anything else is just "nice to have" or can be done with mods.

@MrShenanigansSP Yes there is. The SWL-120 uses it. It's complicated. But it works.

+4Will every single switch work?
+4It takes like a single extra part per segment. I personally use a five part airfoil, but sheesh, a basic airfoil is 2 parts. IT'S SO EASY!

It's amazing how many bots sign up per day. I swear this has increased by like 200 pages since a week ago.
