@DatTrainGuy19 I see what you mean now lol

When a road is at its darkest, the brightest light is often just around the corner.
Having ups and downs in life is completely normal; it’s what life stands for! No matter what you may think, everyone, from the poorest to the richest, have all gone through what you’ve been through. Even Elon Musk suffered from depression in the 2000s and was a heavy drinker. But look where he is now; one of the richest and most influential people on the planet! “Successful” people have definitely had the worst hardships in their life; no one’s life is a bed of roses.
A good idea is for you to tell yourself whenever something bad happens: tomorrow will be better than today. Think about a safe space (e.g. your room, the park, a quiet corner in an alley) and look forward to spending time there. Often, that’s all the motivation you’ll need.
You may be feeling really low right now, but look around you; people, complete strangers who have never met you before, are willing to help you through this tough time. There is good in the world; don’t give up on it so easily. And betting on reincarnation isn’t a good idea; what if your next life is worse than this one?
Look, I don’t know if you’re serious or not with this, but please, please don’t kill yourself. It is never worthwhile, ever.
I think that the main issue is that modding isn’t very common here. As a result, mods in SimplePlanes, and thus the game itself, aren’t being promoted enough.
Mods (whether maps or extra features) are what keep a game alive. Many long-running games stay relevant not because the game itself is good (sooner or later, any base game will become obsolete, no matter how many updates you pump into it), but because there’s an abundance of mods.
Take a look at one such example: openBVE, a train simulator. It was released in 2007,17 years ago. Despite it being a dinosaur of a game, modding support is good enough that even in the present (2023), people are still making routes and producing videos of said routes. As a result, openBVE routes have gone from this to this. openBVE modding has also reached the point where routes aren’t built by individuals, but by entire nonprofit organisations with teams of 5-8 people. All these have made the game stay relevant even in the era of train sims like TSW and TS2020.
There are a handful of other games that have stayed popular thanks to modding, such as Gmod, Cities:Skylines, Minecraft, TF2 (both of them) and even Roblox. The Steam Workshops for those games contain not a puny 100 mods like SP does, but thousands upon thousands of them.
The likely reason for this (and the reason why SP isn’t very popular) is that the modding interface sucks. While users here have to build mods using Unity (which doesn’t exactly have a user-friendly interface), other games have mod creators either in-game, or as a separate (but linked) software. The more easily it is for people to create mods, the more mods get made, the more a game gets promoted, and thus the more people play the game and decide to create maps or mods. It’s a self-sustaining feedback loop that helps games to stay relevant way longer than what the base game can ever do.
Hence, the biggest mistake SP made was not making mod creation easier. Because safe to say, people get turned off by mountains and terrain that look extremely outdated and kiddish. And in the meantime, there are high-quality maps such as Washington & B.C. and Normandy, but those aren’t widely used and are made by individuals, thus they don’t receive much attention.
Jundroo seems to have realised it and fixed it in J:NO with Planet Studio and simpler modding tools. But I think it’s too late for SP, since ease of modding has to be implemented from the very beginning in order for it to make a game successful.
@5 but out of thousands of SP accounts, it seems to only be his account that’s been affected.
He listed a specific someone who previously hated on some of his builds (and has been pretty controversial on the site in general), but only the devs can find out who actually hacked into his account (if any).
@72 that’s kinda the point lol.
Corporate logos nowadays are extremely simplified, so that they can be slapped onto anything without bringing focus away from the main poster/object.
@Graingy to me the biggest issue is that unlike WW2 survivors, many of the relatives of those who died in 9/11 are still alive today. It only makes 9/11 jokes more serious.
@Boeing727200F okay, after doing some (quick) research I’ve found out that in fact, computers can’t explode. The CPU melts before it can cause any form of explosion, so the worst thing that can happen is a fire.
I’m glad to tell you that your flight won’t go down anytime soon; the worst thing that’ll happen is that the flight gets diverted and your parents receive a fine or something.
People can’t even upload stuff as a test without generating controversy smh.
The OP obviously didn’t post it for upvotes; it’s because he was trying to see how the upload feature worked. Otherwise, why would he label it as “¡UploadTest!”?
The ones who are at fault are those who upvoted that very post, many of whom are probably reading this comment right now.
Edit: I guess this is how the German Corsair happened lol
