Off-topic posts are too vague to classify. They are allowed and as the rules state, there is a threshold for how 'off-topic' a post can be.
For convenience, I will classify forums similar as build posts.
Off-topic posts often happen in the forums section as uploading something to the website still counts as playing the game and thus a contribution to the airplane section of the site unless it's way too bland or had no effort put into it at all (e.g. a label part that has words in it and nothing else). Although I should say this mostly count as 'spam' rather than off-topic posts, but they can be.
As for the forums, oh do I have a lot of basis for you. Forum posts in recent times have become a nest for wanna-be social media influencers. There's a handful of users treating and 'abusing' this vague rule where they post forums not really on-topic to SimplePlanes (e.g. random forum about this/that or a forum about questions no one really cares about). Of course, things like these are allowed but if that's the majority of your account's posts section, then it's safe to assume that a report is valid for such posts as they could count as off-topic spamming (stated by the rules: "-However, we do reserve the right to remove posts if they are too far off-topic.")
TLDR, Post whatever you like as off-topic posts are allowed, but be mindful to not stray too much away from plane-related topics (or any buildable vehicles) . Make sure that these posts also follow the written rules as well as rules a sane human being would think as proper.
And most importantly, The forums is NOT a social media platform. It is not Twitter/X, it is not Facebook, it is a forum section of a plane-focused sandbox game. If you were to make an off-topic post, make sure that it's sparse when seen in your account.
I can testify to the effort given to this build is way more than what you think. For the part count, it is efficient and the details are unique and varied especially the hull number. New systems are put in place to simulate shooting with the use of buttons only and is highly accurate to a certain range. A lot of historical memoirs were used to create a perfect model alongside some existing game-engine renders. Even the difference of the ship to her sisters are put in for historical accuracy and that's only to name a few.
If you can run it without bricking your device, I suggest you do so.
Awesome job, BM:)
@Monarchii.
If you're asking for any inclusion of airbrakes for the spine, I'd say none. Though I will say that if you add always-active airbrakes which doesn't stop the ship when it's powered, it would be a neat feature if, let's say, you want to stop the ship without using other source of thrust. It mimics fluid drag per se.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26
Isn't SimplePlanes complicated in a way? In my opinion, it probably is more complicated than FO if you know what youre doing because you can't really be more flexible with what you can do with the fuselage in SP, just to give an example. I mean I know you won't really figure that out but I guess that's obvious.
Then I retract my statement about her not giving a feedback. On another note, why does it matter? You could just take it as an actual feedback and improve in the future. Why take every 'insult' or 'feedback' as some sort of a bad thing? If you get one then that means you could do better.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26. I did not mean that Pan gave feedback either. What Pan said was merely an opinion and should be seen as such. Don't confuse words from one another.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26. Pan did not even say something negative. Pan literally just said an opinion, which you thought was something negative. If you think that's some sort of an insult, I wonder what an actual negative comment would do to you.
@Default4. Check BMilan's latest reply. I'm pretty sure he already have mentioned things I meant to say. Again, as he mentioned on one of his comments, low part ≠ efficiency.
It's based on where you mostly played the game. PC allows you to use more buttons as well as shortcuts to ease the building process (e.g. right-clicking a part duplicates the whole thing including Overload changes). I'm not quite sure with mobile users but mobile allows you to build anywhere you like.
@TemporaryReplacement, Hopefully you don't mind me using the code used in this build for other creations. If I were to decide to upload, I will credit you.
@LunchBox. That's what I have in mind too. But to be honest, I'm just quite disappointed OP changed the rules because someone wants to basically reupload a plane with a different colour scheme. And no, I am not worried about it.
@Samflugzeugpanzer
I am not willing to dive into the lore too much, there's too much to read so I made it vague and easier to understand for the common user. If you meant the dates, I plan to leave it to your own imagination
@Kendog84
I'm too lazy to actually develop a ship damage model since it can be really difficult for larger, way more detailed builds. Though it's actually very decent that you come up with ways of building how to make one. I could sort of use these info for myself next time I tried to do something similar (again).

It's also fun to see that SP physics still works as it is lol.

@ComradeComissar, Sure. Goodluck on your build.
+1Good stuff, I forgot I ever did the testing due to how long it's been.
+1@Monarchii Surely.
+1@Monarchii, Filling in a niche, someone's gotta do it lol.
+1Very fun boat. Although difficult to steer (due to SP physics), the details of the boat is great and also within a certain low part count.

@Monarchii, As far as I know, waving flags don't really need any FT help as you can just give it floppy hinge rotators separating the fuselage.

Really fun vehicle to use especially mixed with the part efficiency, Good stuff, Chiichii :))

It would be an insult to not tag me. Beautiful boat.

+1Really interesting projects you've been working on recently. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a Discord account?
+1@TemporaryReplacement, Surely. Though if you were to try, please do tag me in a post. If ever, I could help you with suggestions.
+1Do you plan on creating surface combat-focused modified ships, as well as larger vessels in the future?

+1@Boeig, Stating another example is not an argument. This video is way too off-topic and not even slightly related to SimplePlanes.

+1@MrCOPTY, Wasn't the focus of the challenge around Biplanes? I don't wanna be that guy but not because someone asked, doesn't mean you already should.
+1I don't really wanna join as a competitor but I wanna participate.

Congratulations for Gold.
+1Funky

Azusa's halo is a pretty beautiful imo, I actually planned to use Kisaki's but I have skill issue doing her's.
I used the vanity quote due to her EX skill animation line.

+1precisely.
Really, really nice. I like it.
+1@SPAircraftOfficial
the wheels are limited to a specific rate, which limits the maximum speed of the vehicle.

Does this have the buoyancy technique you mentioned? looks great btw.
