Before this inevitably turns into a cesspool of toxicity and I have to remove it, I'll go ahead and answer the question as best I can.
You see, it dates back to the Chinese Civil War, which began around 1927. It consisted of two parties: The Republic of China, which at the time had control over mainland China, and the Chinese Communist Party. This civil war lasted until 1949, with the CCP winning and taking control over mainland China. This forced the RoC to retreat to an island called Taiwan. After this, there was much debate over which of those two was the legitimate Chinese government, as both were claiming to be the real China. I think that is still somewhat of an issue in the modern day, but I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, nowadays the main issue is Taiwan's sovreignty, which most people in mainland China do not recognize, as to my knowledge they have been heavily pushing for a reunification instead.
This has been heavily simplified, both to keep it relatively short and so that I get less stuff wrong, but I hope this provides a bit of context.
It always bothered me a bit when people say stuff like this. What you've said covers a very wide range of genres and songs, and you haven't elaborated on what exactly you mean. I can say X old rock song is a better song than Y modern pop song, but that wouldn't be a good comparison at all because they're two completely different genres. There are good and bad songs from every time period. If you're not willing to look for the songs from the current era that you would actually like and only look at the stuff you don't like, then of course you're gonna think that old music is just somehow better by default.
Yes, that is not specifically the swastika used by the Third Reich; however the description of the craft indicates it was used in a way that contradicts that. Here's the relevant quote from the description:
Swastika: Represents loyalty to the Supreme Democracy Party (the longest ruling political party), Supreme Minister and Leftist Nazism (yeah I call it low key Nazism or Nazism with Krakabloan characteristics)
@X4JB Then you should re-read our rules, specifically the section about politics and religion. This applies to everyone. Fact or not, it was a very politically charged statement that served no purpose other than to provoke people that disagree with it.
Please do not report this post for having the flag of Taiwan. It is not against the rules, and reporting it for having said flag will result in a strike being added to your account.
@AWESOMENESS360 On the intro to the old Cartoon Network series you could briefly see a shock diamond while he's in level flight, so he's definitely capable of it. I'm assuming he just doesn't do it very much because it isn't practical at all
@CC1010 @Sparky6004 Pirating the game is not cause for a ban, or even a strike. When you pirate a game, however, you are putting yourself at some level of risk as the safety of illegal downloads is often far from guaranteed. What will result in action being taken against your account is promoting the use of pirated content or sending links to pirated content, which is against our Terms of Use.
@Kakhikotchauri1 I recommend buying the game when you can, not only because of the above but also because just because you own the game on Google Play doesn't mean you legally own it on Steam. They are two different storefronts, on two different platforms, therefor you need to purchase both.
@EkronAircraftCompany I mean, in the movie universe he's supposed to be able to break the sound barrier (don't ask how that works, I have no idea) so maybe
@THKH Go to the Google Play Store, go to SimplePlanes, scroll down until you see a button to opt-in to the beta program, click the button, and then when the beta comes out it'll be downloadable like a regular update would be.
Also, probably not happening because it'd be a bit complex to do, but having him be able to sit down like in this scene (which is probably my favourite scene in any movie) would be awesome
@JuanNotAnAlt Featuring probably isn't happening since Winterro is platinum and we try to only feature people that are below that, but it is certainly neat
@Karzigg It's not so much his opinion that was the problem, it's what he said when explaining that opinion that was problematic. I think his description of it "where I forgot to translate every word to newspeak" is a big enough hint. If you can't figure it out from there, nothing I can do about that.
@Karzigg It's.. more complicated than that. As seen in the clarified edit of this post, it wasn't about an Afghanistan joke as originally presumed. He said some pretty bad things that, if by some chance managed to make its way into public view, could get Jundroo into a lot of trouble with the public due to someone representing them saying such things. Evidently, Andrew didn't want to take any chances.
I would like to state for the record that this is a rather sensitive moment and it should be treated as such. I understand you all are shocked by this, and rightfully so, but I expect you all to conduct yourselves respectfully here, otherwise you may receive a strike on your account.
I would also like to say that most of you do not know the full extent of either side here. It is worse than was described, but due to various reasons further detail cannot be explained in public. Keep that in mind before making comments for or against anyone involved.
@Kangy You can (probably) expect to see more of me with Eternal gone. That said, most of the stuff I do has always been stuff you can't see, so it will always appear that I'm not around much.
Some optional features in the designer to make it more "modern" like the SR2 designer is something I'd like to see. I understand not everyone would want an updated designer as they are used to how it's been for the past several years, but SP's designer for someone who hasn't played SP much is quite clearly mechanically inferior in most ways to SR2's and more needlessly difficult to use, so optional settings to make it more like SR2 would be nice.
@AN2Felllla Please don't do that, just make original crafts or re-make your SP stuff from scratch. This is a cool tool, but it should not be used for abusive purposes.
@Captainboeing Sorry, but we don't tend to unban alt accounts that are caught upvoting the main account's posts. Generally, while not forbidden, alt accounts are discouraged anyways.
I haphazardly removed it while dealing with a bunch of other copy reports. Apologies, looking at the part count it seems to be a good enough successor fo stay up.

Please try to make major changes to a plane before posting it. Simply painting an object a different color, or adding a few guns is not enough to consider it your own. In the future please credit the original maker, and try to post your own work.
