  • Bro??? 11 months ago

    If you see a dev/0-point user upvote your build, it's probably because your build is curated for VR use.
    Although I think it might be possible for 0 point users to upvote using the Inspect tool, but I can't confirm nor deny that.

  • Ideas for the next update? one year ago

    Additional features rely primarily on addon makers now. I'd recommend looking into Unity (and probably Visual Studio too) if you really want these to be added.

    Aside from that, some of these can already be achieved without needing to mod the game (engine idle and ground refueling for example).

  • how do i make a piston activate for a second before deactivating? one year ago

    I think ceil(smooth(clamp01(Activate1), 1))-floor(smooth(clamp01(Activate1), 1)) should work.
    If it doesn't, let me know and I'll run a test when possible.

  • Where is Shmeck? one year ago

    I'm not really at liberty to say too much without risking getting the red hand from a moderator, but here's the basis of it:
    He deleted his account due to the amount of backlash he received from the community over some pretty questionable actions he had taken.

  • How do I install mods on android 1.1 years ago

    @ZerkkTheSimper Ah, forgot that there were others aside from the Maywar plugin.

    @BeechcraftA35 Aside from the map plugin mods Zerkk has listed, you can't download mods for Android.

    I mean, technically you could try changing the file extension on any mod and risk corrupting your game files, maybe even your device.
    I'd advise against that.

    Interesting. I'd seen asin() acos() atan() listed in the Funky Trees guide but wasn't aware that an atan2() was present.

  • DG Flugzeugbau DG-800A 1.7 years ago

    @BeeEngineer It is a glider (more specifically, a motor glider).
    The aircraft is designed to operate without an engine. It uses the engine for self takeoff and flight sustainment in the event that thermals are poor.
    This is different from regular airplanes, which do require an engine for flight.
    The engine on a sailplane is an accessory for convenience, not a necessity.

  • It's time for a new name for SimpleRockets 2 1.9 years ago

    @Red920 In addition to the previous comments, as of right now there is only one known working public server.
    Even if the few other servers were working, it would not be enough to support so many users, making the addition of MP as a default mod entirely pointless.
    On the surface, this sounds like a great idea.
    But, when you look at the details, it only ends up being worse for everyone.

  • Explosion I guess 1.9 years ago

    Jundroo did not remove support for mobile mod support, Google/Apple did.
    Jundroo can not do anything about this.
    Even if mod support for mobile was given, I'm fairly certain that Unity currently does not support mobile platforms.

  • F-14....?(TVC+Canard) 2.0 years ago

  • How to make your PSM stable 2.2 years ago

    There's more than one method. You can use PID controllers, but that is an expert level method, and very complicated.
    I'm fairly certain you can use AngleOfAttack/AngleOfSlip code, which is still complicated, but less complicated than PID controllers.
    I use Roll/Pitch/YawRate code. This is one of the easiest methods that can still auto stabilize the thrust vectoring system. For example: "Pitch-(PitchRate*0.005 or any number less than one)" works for stabilizing pitch control output.

  • New dev console command! 3 months ago

    You can also use this to simulate thermals for sailplanes. Makes soaring much more fun.

    Since the SetWindSpeed command uses vector values, you can do something like SetWindSpeed 0 3 0 for a gentle updraft while gliding to help you slowly gain altitude.

  • I’m out of ideas. 4 months ago

    I generally recommend trying your hand at sailplanes. They're a somewhat rare sight around here. I think a well-built sailplane would be a refreshing sight, and maybe even offer some players a new experience.

    Even if they kept the option you wouldn't be able to use the mods. Google changed their software requirements, and Apple's TOS never allowed that to begin with.

  • Is it just me or is going fast really hard? 4 months ago

    The drag points on these aircraft are rather high, especially the FM-195.
    The ideal performance range for an aircraft of this size would probably be 1000dp-2000dp.

    SimplePlanes drag is weird. Disable drag (and drag calculations for a slight performance boost) on parts that don't need it, and lower it on parts with higher drag until you find the ideal performance zone.

    Somewhat off-topic, but because engine behavior is also kind of weird, having FT engine inputs to control power output depending on altitude can help a lot with performance (keeping the aircraft from going too fast at low altitudes, and reasonably boosting speed at higher altitudes).

    Yeah, I definitely plan on remastering some of my favorite projects.

  • Sin Cos Tan - Question 7 months ago

    Sine and Cosine interpolate between a range of values. If you plug in sin(x) into a graphing calculator, you'll notice the line will curve up and down continuously like this.

    This can be helpful for things like walkers/other stuff that requires cycling. If you plug in something like

    (sin(Time) / 200) * Throttle
    

    it will output a continuously interpolating value (assuming conditions, like Throttle in this case, will allow it to do so).

    Cosine and Sin are inverse, too. Both essentially do the same thing, just with one of them outputting opposite values from the other.


    Tangent is a little bit different. Output over time looks something like this.

    Examples of these used in a circle, for circle things.

  • AI Spawn Script Mod? 10 months ago

    I'm not a dev nor expert modder or programmer but I'll give my best input here.

    If you don't have any experience with the Unity editor, then trying to work with custom scripting and whatnot in SP is probably going to be pretty confusing and daunting (speaking from experience).
    Scripting is done in C#. If you already have experience with C or Python/Java/Lua/etc. then it'll probably be easier for ya.
    If you're entirely new (or almost) to scripting in any language, god help you. Now might be a good time to learn some basic Python.

    1. I'm almost certain it's possible.
    2. Download the version of Unity that corresponds with your current version of SP and get Microsoft Visual Studio. Visual Studio is gonna be your scripting interface.
    3. As a beginner, probably pretty difficult. C has a more complicated syntax than Python or Java (which are very easy in comparison), so if you're not already familiar with basic programming then I would recommend learning one of those first.
    As for the console thing, I don't know if that's actually possible. It might be possible to spawn AI aircraft using commands but at that point you might as well be doing it through the menu anyways. I don't think there's a way to auto-execute them without a custom script, which leads back to Unity and C#.

    That's my bit anyways. Hope this helps in some way.

  • A meme about simpleplanes one year ago

    @Planemodder1911 Jundroo didn't have much of a choice though. Google's Play Store requirements forced the removal of mod support.

  • I feel sad now one year ago

    @Lwills Android mods stopped working years ago due to changes in Playstore requirements.
    The devs removed the Android mod buttons because they'd be entirely useless. You can't run 3rd party mods on Android anymore.

    The only exception to this is a few non-scripted map plug-ins that still work.
