My NOVA robot is a good start for walking on uneven terrain. Its feet have a set cycle that allow it to walk both up and down slopes.
Traction? No idea. I think if the legs move too fast it causes issues.
I use gyros for bipedal walkers. They take a bit of tuning, but they work fine. Adding FT inputs to the gyro helps a lot as well.
Size can be adjusted with Fine Tuner. See what works best, and then go with that.
I'm sure rolling is entirely possible, but I have no idea how that would function on a bipedal walker.
How to make the walker go faster is really dependent on what code you're using. Higher speed can also be achieved by giving the walker a longer stride with each step (though settings this too high may cause balance issues).
A part with preset noises would be neat. Since we already have gauges/buttons/switches I don't see why adding alarm sounds would be a bad idea.
As far as imported sounds go, refer to the previous comment.
@MrCOPTY Hmm... It would be useful for splitting wings into sections automatically instead of manual wing calculation.
It would also be nice for landing gear/weapon bays, especially on aircraft that use paneling.
@ShinyGemsBro postimages.org
It hasn't had issues up to this point, and I believe temporaryplanetester was able to see them.
It might be a server error with postimages.org, as those have happened before.
@GabrielSatori That's a problem I attempted to fix (and mostly did) while I was designing the landing gear.
Landing should go decently as long as the aircraft is landing at the correct speed (listed above) and the correct rate of descent, and the user isn't trying a Ryanair landing.
Though, you can almost always expect a small bounce upon landing. This is something I hope to learn how to solve in the future (likely with actual suspension).
@F8boa Theoretically yes. With the right speed, timing, and altitude it's likely possible. Removing the vertical stabilizer might help if you intend to yaw the aircraft backwards.
If I understand this correctly, doing that is against the rules.
You have to make some sort of significant modification to a build before publishing a successor version.
Ignoring this rule will result in your post(s) getting taken down, or potentially receiving a strike/ban on your account.
@TASTEinc I can only give smaller bits of helpful tips, but I don't think I can give any revolutionary advice. How well your builds progress in quality ultimately depends on you. Nothing I say is going to revolutionize your builds instantly. It's taken me a year and a half to get to where I am now (in terms of building skills), and I still have a lot to learn.
@TASTEinc Well, I certainly wouldn't call myself qualified to tell someone how good or bad their build is.
I will say that I think you have great potential. If you put yourself out into the community a little more (make yourself a little more known), people will notice your builds more, and you will receive input and help from other users.
In my opinion, the best teacher in SP is your own experience.
If you're passionate about building and are constantly striving to build better, you will eventually achieve your goal.
From what I've seen, your doing pretty good. Just keep experimenting and learning and you will eventually get to expert level building.
@Hiimakeplanes I think it's a matter of making your thumbnails "pop". Typically you don't want your build to blend into the background. You also want to use fonts that compliment the build theme/screenshot (hopefully that makes sense).
I would recommend using Photoshop. Or, if you are unable to afford Photoshop, you can use Pixlr, which is essentially an online photoshop tool.
I use it for my screenshots. Here's an example: https://i.postimg.cc/qMQXvgfB/Nightswift-Thumbnail.png
That just means that a user wants to be tagged on your upcoming post.
For example: if I comment "T" on a teaser, the creator will tag me on the aircraft post with @TheFlightGuySP.
Adding a firingDelay attribute to the rocket pod via the XML editor should allow you to change the firing time.
The value is in seconds (seconds between each rocket firing).
@MrCOPTY I'll be busy for several hours. I will likely be on later.

@XAircraftManufacturer I think it's a great idea, and a logical one at that (given the additions in 1.11).

@MrCOPTY Just be careful not to accidentally send a report. I'm not sure what it would do, but it could lead to trouble.
+1@MrCOPTY View this. Click on the image in the description.
+1@MrCOPTY I noticed that. Happens occasionally. I'm not concerned about it.
+1@MrCOPTY Actually, I've already made plans for a teaser video featuring my upcoming stealth helicopter.
+1Sorry, but I won't have the time.

@Belloaka No problem! The server is generally more populated at night (or morning, depending on your time zone).

+1@IceCraftGaming Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
+1@Red920 In that case, disable collisions of the parts that the probe gets stuck inside of.
+1Hmm... Alright then.
HUZZAH!
+1Either the probe or drogue likely has aircraft collisions disabled.
+1Checking to make sure collisions on both parts are enabled should fix the issue.
Here's a nice way for importing images: https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1534176/IA-Image-Importer.

Looks to me like it needs an artificial stability system.
