I understand where you’re coming from, and @F104Deathtrap improving isn’t always the answer. I spent 6 months on a good-looking and well functioning heavy bomber that got 9 upvotes...
I already stated that I wasn’t entering the challenge as I’m working on a VTOL (and they are not allowed in this challenge), I’m just giving some advice on rules. As to make a build actually perform realistically, XML modding health is a necessity in my book. @Dimkal
I know it’s about aircraft; vehicles refers to aircraft as well. I just think it’s nice for people to make some parts have more health than others for a realistic damage model (e.g. fuselage having more health than wings) @Dimkal
A nice challenge which I was going to enter (unfortunately my creation is a VTOL), but I think you should reconsider your choice of people not being able to XML mod the health of blocks. I think it’s only fair that if people make an aircraft that is supposed to be heavily armoured that it should have more health. Maybe just change it so there’s a maximum amount of health that the user can have.
This cockpit actually has potential. The only part that doesn’t look good is that gap between the fuselage and the nose cone. If you just bridge that gap I’m sure it’ll look great @QingyuZhou
Yes, it’s not hollow but it’s a better trade off to put a nice-looking clippable cockpit inside a block than to put a nice looking cockpit in a nose that doesn’t look as good @QingyuZhou
this contains a good looking cockpit with smooth edges, while most builds using this method have ragged and slightly ill-fitting edges that don’t quite fit perfectly with each other @QingyuZhou
The problem with this is the end result looks unfinished and slightly amateur, and there are much more aesthetically pleasing and part-count friendly ways to do this
Yes, the 12 string guitars simply have an extra string very close to the normal string format; it doesn’t make the strings go right over to the edge of the sound hole. @Mattangi2
Oh really? Yes I’m sure that a country with the highest first world country murder rate and one of the worst educations systems is always the best. The EU is proven to be so much safer than the US; and I value my life, and my children’s lives (school shootings in the US) higher than internet censorship if it came down to a choice between both of them. @TheGuyYouMightKnow
Yes, more people who need it would probably see it on other sites; but I don’t think he made this post just so the most amount of people see it. I think he made it just to try and give support to anyone. Even if only one person sees it and feels better; it’s still worth it. @Jetpackturtle
Unfortunately I can’t see the images, but it’ll be interesting to when it works for me. Maybe a collaboration between you and MisterT could make the best map of all! @DuckMintnewprofile
I was talking about this post being very influential and important while yours, even though it may relate to SimplePlanes, is still less important that this. I’m just saying that this post may actually have an impact on somebody, so if it’s a little off-topic it doesn’t really matter. Remember that this site is used predominantly by teenagers, and the amount of suicidal teenagers is surprisingly high @Jetpackturtle
Yes, I completely understand your point of view, and of course there are some trade offs; though I think the notch isn’t something significant enough to warrant a delay of a bezel-less display for another generation of phones. As for ruggedness, I was referring to a blend of aesthetics and durability. The active series from the Samsung line is obviously more durable; but it comes at a cost of a much higher weight and thickness... not to mention the loss of all the aesthetics of the standard Samsung model. Anyway, thanks for being cooperative and non-hostile. @Squirrel
You might think Apple is ‘jumping on bandwagon by copying android’ but ‘Android’ (as you refer to it) is literally every single company making phones that use android, while Apple is just one company; so is it fair to compare? Also, while small companies might have done phones with no headphone jack; Apple was the big company with the influence to actually change and shape the future into being wireless, so it’s a much bigger risk for Apple to do it than a small company. Also, you convienently forget to mention that literally every single phone except one wasn’t the first to include a bezelless display, not just Apple. Apple waited until the technology was developed enough to use it properly with no drawbacks (unlike the early bezeless phones). I’m going to say it for the last time to everyone. I like all technology companies (including android phone makers!), but Apple wins hands down in build quality, aesthetics (though that’s of course dependant on the user) and software optimisation, which are the most important things for me. @Squirrel
The iPhone X didn’t crack easily, and the iPhone 8 cracked the same as a Samsung phone! Regardless of what Samsung might be doing right now; the iPhone X was released a while ago when that technology wasn’t here. Bendgate is not supported by facts; and it didn’t bend easily, there were just a few cases of it. @Minecraftpoweer
The notch isn’t the greatest design, but the lack of a headphone jack is inevitable, and I’m glad that Apple did it. Wireless is the future, and just because you are too caught up in trying to hate everything that Apple does; all headphones and speakers are becoming bluetooth. You need companies like Apple to push technology forward@Minecraftpoweer
iPhones are created with premium materials. The aluminium 7000 series featured in the iPhones is stronger and much more durable than the materials found in competitors (as seen in drop tests). I don’t come up with bad arguments; you are simply saying things which are not backed up by any proof, while I am being objective. @Minecraftpoweer
This is absolutely ridiculous, if you are honestly trying to tell ,e that Apple devices don’t have build quality then there’s no use talking with you. I can at least see that android does have some advantages over Apple; but you are just being unreasonable. There is absolutely no debate between any knowledgeable people that Apple has the best build quality on the market. You’re right, they don’t have the best power; but considering the software optimisations they perform much better than a windows laptop with the same specs; and I was talking about how much power it had for being so thin. @Minecraftpoweer
That’s rubbish about the youtubers as well. They don’t care about one medium sized youtuber; they have to treat everyone equally under the law. There are already so many YouTubers that hate on Apple it’s pretty cringeworthy that he thinks they care about what he tells his (not even that large) audience. If you speak to anyone who knows what they’re talking about and is objective (e.g. MKBHD) they’ll say how good Apples support is. @Minecraftpoweer
I said the iPad has better battery life than other tablets, and Android doesn’t have the security or optimisation present on iOS. I don’t fanboy Apple; I think their laptops are overpriced considering what they are; but they are undeniably fantastic laptops. No other laptop fits the build quality, aesthetics and power into a laptop so thin and light. I have my issues with Apple; but their products are by far so much more reliable than androids that I’ve had in the past; which is why I use them. I’m not a fanboy: as I like Samsung as well. The premium price comes with advantages that nobody else has, and I’m ok with paying for that. @Minecraftpoweer
So many people didn’t get an iPhone that was easy to bend, it was an isolate case! Apple isn’t known for having bad batteries anyway, iPads have the best battery life; and anyway, I don’t see android offering a cheap battery replacement! Saying that android updates don’t matter as its the ‘same stuff’ is also false as android updates add new features and also fix bugs (some of which can be serious). Also, they do slow them down very slowly! I’ve had my iPad for 4 years now and it’s still going strong; despite slight changes by apple to improve battery life. It doesn’t matter how much Apple does to help; there are always people who seem to go out of their way to make false allegations and saynblatantly incorrect things just to fit their agenda. I like android, and they provide more customisation, but Apple beats them in security, software and support (they support their devices for a lot longer; and despite what you say, it does matter how long a company supports their devices!) @Minecraftpoweer
It did actually happen with a few phones, it was an isolated case and didn’t happen to many phones. Also, the note 7 was recalled but then the batteries kept exploding so they completely discontinued it. The difference between Apple and Android is, Apple supports iOS updates for much longer; and if it has to slightly hinder the performance of the device in order to do this then it’s fine! Again, you can restore your phone to the original performance with only a $20 battery replacement (it goes back to the original performance again, and it doesn’t slow down again for ages); and it doesn’t happen over ‘one update’, it happens over the course of years. Android phones get new updates for a lot shorter of a time, and they have much worse battery life than iOS devices after a significant amount of time in use. ALL devices slow down eventually, the difference is Apple expands their lifetime while Android doesn’t. I don’t know what you mean about MacBook Fails? @Minecraftpoweer
I understand where you’re coming from, and @F104Deathtrap improving isn’t always the answer. I spent 6 months on a good-looking and well functioning heavy bomber that got 9 upvotes...
I know, what I mean is make it at full size, and then scale all of it down to a 1:1 using fine tuner @tsampoy
Nice, but when you make trucks; please scale it down to 1:1
+4This is an old meme which wasn’t funny in the first place
I believe QingyZhou has intentions to delete his account anyway. He will probably do it as soon as the ban ends
+3Yes, of course we want them but the devs are hard at work on SR2 right now.
+3No asking is required. If someone likes a build, they upvote it; simple as that.
+3That’s because you’re using it on low physics @LaserGuidedPotato
This looks great, I love the wheels and the windscreen particularly.
Nice, but not exactly a good first screenshot

I know it’s about aircraft; vehicles refers to aircraft as well. I just think it’s nice for people to make some parts have more health than others for a realistic damage model (e.g. fuselage having more health than wings) @Dimkal
No, just a slightly heavier armoured maritime patrol vehicle @Dimkal
Yes, but I’m asking why health modding is out of the rules? It could affect someone’s design who wants to make an armoured vehicle. @Dimkal
Nice! Try to take screenshots that show the whole vehicle though.
A nice challenge which I was going to enter (unfortunately my creation is a VTOL), but I think you should reconsider your choice of people not being able to XML mod the health of blocks.

That’s not a riddle, it’s a double-meaning

Yes, it’s not hollow but it’s a better trade off to put a nice-looking clippable cockpit inside a block than to put a nice looking cockpit in a nose that doesn’t look as good @QingyuZhou
Or this if you want something that has more of an airliner-esque cockpit
this contains a good looking cockpit with smooth edges, while most builds using this method have ragged and slightly ill-fitting edges that don’t quite fit perfectly with each other @QingyuZhou
The problem with this is the end result looks unfinished and slightly amateur, and there are much more aesthetically pleasing and part-count friendly ways to do this
But... the mods do. So, yes. @denialofservice
If a player can make it, then the devs should be able to make a pre-made model that looks as good as this at all the airports
Your builds never disappoint, great job as always!
I can’t see the 2nd image
+3Yes, the 12 string guitars simply have an extra string very close to the normal string format; it doesn’t make the strings go right over to the edge of the sound hole. @Mattangi2
How many strings do you think a guitar has?
Some people just are just perfectionists is all. I understand where he’s coming from @jamesPLANESii
Very nice! :)
You never know what good a kind message can do :) @Jetpackturtle
