    Thank you. @tsampoy

  • SimpleRockets 2 - Dev Notes 7.0 years ago

    Oh ok. I did not know it was different than other iPhones. Please disregard my previous comments. @RMark1

  • SimpleRockets 2 - Dev Notes 7.0 years ago

    I never said losing buttons. I meant that the wired shape of the screen would mean that part of it would not show, since a game would find it unfair to give extra field of vision, forcing them to move other buttons around. I know what optimizing means. I said it would look bad on other iPhones because it would be in a weird place on other iPhones. Since there is no iPhone x only store, that is. Is there? I am not sure. @Shmexysmpilot

  • SimpleRockets 2 - Dev Notes 7.0 years ago

    @RMark1 The iPhone X is a weird thing in which gaming was not taken into account. I think apple intentionally put the black bars there. Major parts of the game would be cut off. It would look cool, but function ineffectively.

  • Privet 7.0 years ago

    @CCCP That is a really good idea on how to make sure no one steals your designs!

  • YFA-12 7.0 years ago

    @fishheads88 @dracofr

    Thank you both very much

  • how to make Fly-by-wire? 7.0 years ago

    It sorta works. I made a plane extremely unstable once. I put the CoL in front of the CoM and set up a gyroscope. I knew that it would not work well, but I was curious. As expected, the plane auto levels whenever you turn, and it does not turn well. This is because the plane is fighting against yaw pitch and roll. This is not preventable since instability effects all three areas.

    Thank you @goboygo1 @SSSvaSSa @rexinn @TheRealTDawg

    I appreciate the support.

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    @goboygo1

    Would you be willing to read these comments, then make your verdict on whether the F-35 is good or not?

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    As we know. Wing loading affects turn rate directly. The lower, the better. Guess what has a higher combat wing loading? The F-35, or: One of the most massive bombers of the Second World War: The B-17!!!

    That is right the F-35 has a higher wing loading than the B-17.

    F-35: around 135 lbs/square feet
    B-17 “Flying Fortress”: around 110 lbs/square feet.

    @Ghastfire

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    @goboygo1
    Read these comments. Then tell both of us what you think about the F-35.

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    And before you say it next.

    Maneuverable just means it rolls well. Nothing to do with turn rate.

    @Ghastfire

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    @Ghastfire

    “wow... ok, i see your point. although i have seen it fly before, IRL, and it seemed just fine...”

    A commercial airliner flies just fine. Maybe then I should try to turnfight an F-16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    The money being poured into it is not their own. It is money from places like Britain and Canada.

    Mexican lolypops supposedly have lead in the paint. They are promoted. I recently heard of a company promoting $200 wireless headphones that only work if you hold the phone in your hand the whole time.

    You are forgetting they are a company planning to make money. Sure, they got the cost down for their fighter-bomber down to 4 times the best us fighter bomber still in service.

    They never said anything about it performing well. All they said is that it has increased computing power.

    Their ideal is that close range dogfights will become obsolete. Close rangee dogfights happen all the time. Even in the 21st century. And will happen more in the world they are preparing for: one where enemies have stealth jets.

    Nowhere did they claim their jet performs well.

    But don’t think I hate Lockheed Martin. They are my favorite company. @Ghastfire

    The F-35 VTOL/STOL variant is so expensive that it is more costly than the C-5. A plane massive enough to fit the fuselage of a commercial airliner in it.

  • SB-120 7.1 years ago

    I appreciate it @goboygo1 @JoeBro198 @ThePrototype @grizzlitn

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    It was a terrible performer. Famous quote:
    “It can’t turn, it can’t fight, it can’t run. Have you examined the Lockheed Martin specifications of the F-35. If you do, you will agree with the experts, and all the countries that pulled out of the F-35.

    I’ll search up his name later, but the creater of the F-16 Fighting falcon (one of the best rated fighters. One of the highest rated ground attack aircraft. All at < 1/5 the cost of the F-35) is quoted on a Canadian Documentary to have said it is a terrible aircraft that only accomplishes funneling congressional funds into Lockheed Martin.

    I used to disagree with this engineer, then I went to Lockheed Martin’s site, read THEIR specs, and realized it sucks

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    Thank you @Baldeagle086 and @rexinn

    I appreciate the warm welcome back from being inactive.

  • A-30 Phoenix 7.1 years ago

    Thank you @goboygo1
    Long time since I have been on.

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.1 years ago

    Gonna concentrate more on school. @MethaManAircraft

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    Maybe people don't like my new designs.

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    Every time I build a naval ship, it revives my account. I guess I will have to do that. @MethaManAircraft

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    No one looks at them I do not know why. @MethaManAircraft

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    No I won't. No one is going to me since the update. @MethaManAircraft

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    Oh and congrats on recent gold. @MethaManAircraft

  • Anyone wanna colab on something big? 7.2 years ago

    Ok. @MethaManAircraft

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    I only recently moved from wing geometry, to air-foils, so sorry about the ailerons. I thought it looked weird with an appropriate verticle stabilizer. @MethaManAircraft

  • F-54 Flaps, Slats, and movable tail 7.2 years ago

    I agree with you completely. @MethaManAircraft

  • A-56 Reaper with Cleaver Missile 7.2 years ago

    Thank you very much @Haruto6561

  • Glass 7.2 years ago

    Then we should all get together and request this. @Blue0Bull

  • CF-100 Canuck 7.2 years ago

    Ok. @IIBluePhoenixII

  • ILG- 6 wraith 7.2 years ago

    I keep forgetting when I build. @DOX

  • ILG- 6 wraith 7.2 years ago

    You and I both need to put more detail on our stuff. We both have our detail on the tops only, which makes photos hard to be enticing

  • CF-100 Canuck 7.2 years ago

    How is it original if it is a replica.

  • Beta 1.7 - Round 4 7.2 years ago

    @NathanMikeska probably the rate at which I mirror, or maybe, when I nudged, it did not connect on the mirrored side. Sometimes I will see that, and I just have to make sure it is connected.

  • Beta 1.7 - Round 4 7.2 years ago

    All platforms will get it at the same time. @iLikeipads

  • Beta 1.7 - Round 4 7.2 years ago

    I will see if I have a version that I did not delete. It occurs after mirroring too much. I think it might be at the rate at which I mirror. After finishing the main body, I mirror after every other part. Before testing, I mirror from the left then the right, to counter the chance it tilts when flying. @NathanMikeska

  • Beta 1.7 - Round 4 7.2 years ago

    BUG!!!

    My planes keep saying 1,600 parts when I build them, and lag a ton. When I copy every part I built, it is only 65!

    One random part will be copied 1-2,000 times! Usually the cockpit.

    I am on steam. Windows 10.

  • F-55 non beta restricted version 7.2 years ago

    Thank you @goboygo1
    It is tiny, so that is why there is little detail, but at least it performs decent, and that is why planes are designed, for performance.

  • Beta 1.7 - Round 4 7.2 years ago

    Love the new part transform tool. One of the best parts of the update. Because Mac and IOS cannot get fine tuner.

  • F-53 Lion II 7.2 years ago

    @goboygo1 thank you

  • TEASER!!! 7.2 years ago

    @EpicPigster1 But if you are able to get rid of the beta without deleting the app. Then it will work. That is why steam is able to do it.

  • TEASER!!! 7.2 years ago

    @EpicPigster1 That is for steam only. I think.

  • Republic P-47D Thunderbolt (Brazil/USA Fusion) 7.2 years ago

    @EpicPigster1 I am already using it for simple things like panneling on plane wings that I would never even dream of using it for.

  • TEASER!!! 7.2 years ago

    @EpicPigster1 If you save your work as a sub-assembly, you can upload it without beta restriction!

  • TEASER!!! 7.2 years ago

    @Jengstrom Oh, I guess it is because I am talking about steam. I also meant to start the plane without the beta, then instal it, and add the parts. If you delete the beta, you cannot access any planes you oppened.
