  • Is SimplePlanes really realistic? 1.1 years ago

    I'm gonna be a little less pessimistic than Aviator here.
    SimplePlanes is a bit old. The scripting and processes used are a bit old.
    SP was never meant to be hyper-realistic. It started as a simple mobile game that eventually gained traction and a decent-sized fanbase.
    However, SimplePlanes still maintains decent physics and has a very broad range of possibilities.
    It's kinda like comparing apples to oranges when comparing SP to things like MSFS or X-Plane.

    Anyways, I'm ranting here.
    Is SimplePlanes realistic? To a degree. It's not as advanced as other things on the market (Juno and FlyOut for example), but it's more advanced than a lot of other stuff I've seen.

    Edit: RCP sums it up really well.

  • To be honest we Need Underwater cam installed in vanilla because simpleplanes is like 95 Percent Ocean 1.2 years ago

    Two problems with that:

    1. They can't do that without facing legal issues, since one of the authors isn't a part of Jundroo.
    2. I believe WNP78 (Jundroo developer and the other author of Underwater Camera) recently said something about the fact that the borders of the islands are visible while underwater (which looks really weird) and would classify as a "bug".

  • Funky Trees - IF Statements Explained: 1.4 years ago

    @Blueshift Sure. Here's some code I pulled from a cancelled build:
    IAS<22.352 ? "LOW" : (TAS>111.76 ? "OVERSPEED" : round(IAS/0.44704)+"mph")

    The entire expression is basically a ? b : (a ? b : c).
    It checks to see if the speed is too low, and when it returns false then it checks to see if the speed is too high, and when that returns false it displays your IAS in mph.
    It was pulled from a text label, which is why it looks a bit different.
    You could also do a ? (a ? b : c) : c.

    Hopefully this helps :)

    +2
  • Funky Trees - IF Statements Explained: 1.4 years ago

    @Blueshift I don't believe so.
    You can achieve a similar result by putting an IF statement inside of another IF statement. It's a bit more complicated but its worked for me in the past.

    If you're going to make a successor of someone else's work, at least make some significant changes.

    Please, try to put in some actual effort instead of trying to milk points off of someone else's work.
    And no, removing 6 parts from someone else's build and doing nothing else is not a significant change.

  • GOOD and HELPFULL suggestions for update 1.5 years ago

    To add on, I fully support removing the rotator joint wobble. In fact, I'd like to see the same for pistons and shocks.
    Making custom landing gear for heavy aircraft is somewhat of a pain, especially when half of the aircraft's mass is in the landing gear just to prevent joint wobble.

    An XML property to disable it would also work.

  • Will Simpleplanes ever be revamped? 1.7 years ago

    Would older/current builds even be compatible with such a change though?

    +2
  • Is making a cockpit worth it 1.7 years ago

    Depends on your point of view.
    I personally don't really mess with interior design. I focus more on balancing basic exterior details and aircraft functionality.
    If you want to add cockpits, then go ahead. If not, it really shouldn't have an enormous impact.

    The amount of attention your builds get is really dependent on the overall quality of the build (excluding meme builds that get hundreds of upvotes, but that's different). You have to find where the balance between looks, functionality, and performance is, and go with it.

    And yes, there will be times where you spend two weeks on a build, publish it, and it doesn't become as popular as you might've hoped, and that's alright. Just move on and continue building what you want.

    I have finished this short essay. Hopefully this helps at least somewhat.

  • I was today years old when i discovered the Speedometer could register infinity 1.7 years ago

    There have been a few interesting things I've done:

    • Caused my plane to turn into a series of rapidly moving 2D polygons.
    • Turned the terrain into a what looked like a 2D texture format.
    • Removed the water by accident.
    • Caused a console error so large that glass stopped rendering and the horizon had a slight color change.
    • Caused another error so large that Wright Airport started floating in the air (and clipped slightly through the nearby hill).

  • Build question 1.7 years ago

    @Mrgoofy Part type.
    Take the primary wing part, look in the XML editor for the part type value and change it from Wing-3 to Wing-2.

    +2
  • Build question 1.7 years ago

    @Mrgoofy Not sure. If you're using Wing-2 wings then I would say just fly higher.
    If that doesn't help then I'm not sure.

    +2
  • Build question 1.7 years ago

    @Mrgoofy Depends on the build.
    Symmetric is low lift, low drag.
    Semi-Symmetric is medium lift, medium drag.
    Flat Bottom is high lift, high drag.

    Vertical stabilizers should only use "Symmetric" (unless it's a V-Tail aircraft).

    +2
  • Build question 1.7 years ago

    @Mrgoofy It's the box labeled "Symmetric", "Semi-Symmetric", or "Flat Bottom". Clicking this box changes the airfoil. The airfoil type affects both lift and drag.

    +2
  • Build question 1.7 years ago

    @Mrgoofy The thickness of the wing panels (assuming you're using the method I use) should be 0%. Airfoil type depends on what aircraft you're building.
    If you want to make a custom airfoil with fuselages, you can find a nice tutorial on the website that explains the process.

    +2
  • Build question 1.7 years ago

    My personal technique is to first make the fuselage shell, slice out the control surfaces, add the hinge rotators that make them move, and then fit Wing-2 wings into each fuselage section (and edit them to fit precisely using the XML editor).

    The much easier and more commonly used method is to just fit a single scaled down wing into the fuselage shell. This is less realistic but more practical (depending on who you ask).

  • Should Multiplayer be part of SP? 1.7 years ago

    @jamesPLANESii That's also assuming that mobile devices could handle it. I know that some mobile users can run 1000+ parts with little to no problem, but that's not the case for others. MP would likely need to be adjusted to accommodate devices with lower processing power.
    I would imagine the reason Jundroo has not yet added MP as a stock feature is that it simply isn't practical (from a statistical/logical standpoint).
