  • Bug thread for v1.12.128 (current version) 11 months ago

    I made a Swingwing Airplane, and this has always been an issue with it: Of course it's designed to sweep the wings backwards when going at high speeds, but if you haven't done it after reaching about 630 km/h (about 340 knots), the wings will start shaking up and down really quickly. On one hand it's a visual bug, as the wings seem to get separated from the roots but are still attached, and on the other hand, it somehow accelerates the plane A LOT, even with the engines turned off. This also happens when you spawn in the air, as in on a final approach, where the speed is nowhere near high enough to cause the glitch otherwise. If you pull the wings back before the black loading screen is gone, the plane will accelerate just the same, but it's totally uncontrollable and sometimes does infinite loops, bug forward at a 90 degree AOA, just fly sideways... it's all happened before. if our wings aren't swept above about 50 km/h in water (where I end up embarrassingly often), the same thing occurs... (The plane I'm referring to is the S-160 btw) I guess it's some kind of feedback loop between drag slowing one wing a tiny bit more than the other, causing the other one to go forwards even more, and so on... I'm no coder si this is all just speculation.
    Just to have said this, I play on windows, if it's somehow platform specific

    @Kennneth ah, THAT'S why both this one and the forest airstrip keep crashing my game!

  • Forest Airstrip 11 months ago

    yeah nice, the map crashes my entire game in like two seconds every time. I have never seen that before. It just acts like I pressed Alt+F4
    unless it's supposed to do that...

    do these still work when you turn the mod off or when someone else that doesn't have the mod opens it?

  • How pretty much everyone flies on SimplePlanes [Very epic, not click bait.] one year ago

    ah yes, flying my S-160 at like 20 meters over the ocean at 3000 kph, that's what I consider test flying in this game

  • Programmable Autopilot Demo one year ago

    it literally pitches up slightly the whole time, then doing a full loop and crashing straight back onto the runway, but how did you get rid of the UI?

  • The Auklet one year ago

    am I allowed to make a proper cockpit for this amazing little plane and upload it as long as I credit you? I just kinda really want to

  • Be-2500 Neptune one year ago

    how does this fly as well as it does??????

  • Airbus a320 NEO Star Air Cargo one year ago

    @Stargazerreadytofly6371 well it's really well made, but the best way of flying in this game is with the cockpit view, i'd love a working cockpit.

  • Solent S-160 SW V2 1.1 years ago

    @chaz7464YT being fast is kinda the intention here, but you can always use it without the turbo-engine on
