  • A discourse on the wing building method. 23 days ago

    @MeetThyDoom I just thought I should say (I know it's been a month) that if you sent me a friend request I probably didn't get it because I had turned them all off when I was in a server full of weirdos and forgot to turn them back on!

    The real question is, why weren't you addicted to them before?

    As far as I remember you must do the ritual of exiting the hangar and re entering 3 times (or once) but 3 times seems more ritualy.

    Absolutely fabulous, well done sir!

    I tried to make something similar many, many, many years ago — it is so nice to see what is possible nowadays! My hat is sincerely off in respect!

  • A discourse on the wing building method. 6 months ago

    @32 yes I did! That's why I was checking the site – and noticed the almost complete absence of wing built planes!

    @Rb2h https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/YcfDX7/Planesofolds-new-trusty-toolboxQA

    I assume that they are in here (possibly) I don't remember.

    As for cannibalising them you may more easily find them on here:

    https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/FlpD55/R-A-F-F-E1-De-Havilland-biplane-No-2

    The undercarriage skids and much of the frame I think. Anyways, happy building.

  • 1913 Morane-Saulnier H 6 months ago

    @Rb2h it isn't a normal wing part of course, but you can probably find it if you cannibalise it! (The little wing pieces that the wires attach to on the elevators are - if memory serves me well, the part in its default mode) Also, I uploaded a "trusty toolbox" many years ago that has the modded wing part I used to use if you can't find it in my builds.

  • How to get more followers. [THE ultimate guide] 6 months ago

    Simply do not care about followers, just build what comes from your soul, do not pretend to do anything else. Don't be a drama user it's not worth the hassle.

  • What are we not allowed to say here? 8 months ago

    I believe that someone decides. I asked once a very long time ago but I don't remember what the answer was. A bunch of mods came to my post and left lists of profanities I think.

    They can't stop you from speaking in code or doing acrostics. For unlike certain kindred methods nobody can be sure whether they are intentional.

    @ColonelRelford you seem to have trumped my collection, my oldest books are all from the 1840s-50s.
    (And few of them are worthy of display cases.)

    I also had no idea you made forays into archaeology, how interesting.

    @ColonelRelford indeed; few moderns have the patience to master the form, or the correct manner of breathing required for the perfect throw.

  • The Lil’ Rotter’s Chair Throwing Game! 10 months ago

    Oh good lord. Flashbacks to the glory days.

    I think you will find it was a plastic chair; but these are accurate enough -nice and sturdy too, which is what one wants in a chair.

    Chairs should not have much give to them, or else, I find that they are rather poor for throwing, and poorer for sitting.

    9/10 doctors and psychotics alike reccomend strong, stiff chairs.

    Personally, I have a predilection for sniffing antique books; it is something of an art to take a big huff without subsequently sneezing.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 10 months ago

    @ColonelRelford I will never loose my flair for the dramatic, I think that it is innate. If I stop being dramatic something will have gone horribly wrong.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 10 months ago

    @ColonelRelford
    Regrettably, I have not finished any projects since the plague year, as I decided that it would be best to retire.

    It would be a good build for bonfire night though, now that I think about it.

    Perhaps another year, another time. I have not the fury nor love to spend on creating anything anymore.

    That me died what feels like many years ago, and it is odd to look round this place, where it is fossilised as a monument to my youthful imbecility.

    I enjoyed your little fable by the way. It contained a good moral lesson.

    Perhaps "that guy" still lurks around in the bushes living as some kind of budget Crusoe.

    But really, I think his bones are being bleached by the sun; tumbling in the warm sand, returning to dust for eternity.

  • How can I prevent my ship from rocking backand forth? 10 months ago

    @ColonelRelford because I saw you had wished me one, and I understood it to be the season of jollity and forgiveness; so why should I not respond?

    As for my okayness, I am okay.

    Do you mean it's unstable in the water? Does it seem top-heavy?

    Ideally you want to have the centre of mass below the water.

    If that doesn't fix it you can make some small buoyant fuselages and nudge them to the sides as stabilisers. But the main thing is weight below the water- look at ship designs, and you will see most have lots of ballast, In the old days it was rocks or other weights, but now its usually a load of water tanks at the bottom of the hull.

    Is this a case of discrimination or a valid test? I'd be extremely annoyed if my aspergers prevented me from getting a flying license- or doing anything for that matter.

    This has been going on for as long as the game has had a website.
