Meh. I don't have a problem with part efficiency, in fact I think it's something that should be sought after when it comes to building.
However, similarly to what Mouse said, it should not be used as an excuse to do less work.
There are cases where PEA seems to be used as an excuse for sub-par effort put into something, and this I strongly dislike.
Other things to do and see. Can't speak for everyone on this, of course. People have their varying reasons.
SimplePlanes has been a great game for me personally, but now I've got a larger range of more exciting projects and things to explore, as well as other games to play. I've explored most areas of SimplePlanes all the way up to modding.
Again, people have their varying reasons. I think this sums it up for a certain majority of people though.
@Korzalerke2147483647 I'm alright. Ya, I've continued exploring the backwaters of the command console every now and then.
I think the most recent thing I found was bringing back part of the legacy designer (it was just the lights though, couldn't find the rest).
@XProAerospaceAircrafts Unfortunately they can't do that either, or so I've heard. Something to do with Apple's TOS, but I couldn't tell you anything specific.
They can't. Google's Play Store requirements prevents mods from functioning properly on Android (with the exception of a few map addons that still work on Android).
@Lwills Ah, they did remove those buttons I suppose.
There's no point in having Android download button if the mods can't load at the game's build time anymore, so they did get rid of the buttons.
One that often gets overlooked is the F-107 Super Sabre. Strange beauty that thing is, in my opinion anyways.
Technically it never made it past the prototype stage, but still an interesting classic aircraft.
@Majakalona Right-click on the Assets menu at the bottom of the screen, go to Create>Material.
As for painting terrain, I'd recommend looking up tutorials or just messing around until you figure it out. It's quite simple once you learn to navigate the UI.
@32 Were you the freshman that ripped off one of the stall doors?
Or were you the one who stuffed a pizza box and ceiling insulation in the toilet?
(Joking, of course.)
@ToeTips I haven't built anything like it yet.
Might mess around with something like it in the future.
I've got more project ideas than I can count lol, so I have no clue if/when I'll ever build something like it.
I do have a neat build project in the works though ;)
@Icarus Nope. Almost everyone uses either the Japanese server or the Korean server.
There's also a Chinese server but I think it's semi-private.
It's not usually very packed. Mostly consists of the same people (including myself).
@Majakalona Ah I see.
As a modder myself I haven't seen this in the files anywhere so I doubt simply restoring it is possible.
Someone could make a replica of this perhaps. Or maybe go with something fresh that would compliment modern building.
@M4riusTh34ViationFan You're probably not flying far enough.
The island is over 100 US miles away from Wright.
As for smaller navigation islands, maybe.
Have these fly over every so often (not NASA T-38's, military trainers).
Guess it goes without saying that they're pretty loud. Especially when they're flying almost directly over your house.

@Beardymcbeard I've actually made a couple of them, though they were just modified versions of other aircraft.
I might make an aerobatic plane in the future which acts similarly.
As for designations, I haven't made anything past I200. I300 might not be for a long time since I've been redesigning all of my outdated stuff for a while now.
Nice. The F-16 Lightning Phoenix reminds me of my E210 I posted last year.
I need to remaster that project some day.
Anyways, looking great!
I'll take a 16.
Chances are, if the input isn't working, then you probably made an error. Check the console logs for any errors. Check connections as well, maybe even disconnect and manually reconnect the part(s).
Your physics settings will affect how builds work. If something you downloaded isn't working as it does for other people, chances are it's probably your physics settings.
As for your aircraft being deleted, yeah not sure about that one. Sorry to hear that.
Reminds me of one of Rutan's designs. Love it.

I'm pretty sure you have to be 18+ years of age as well.
+1Neat looking aircraft
+1@Rjenteissussy Ah it's no biggie
+1Looks amazing.
+1@Mousewithamachinegun122 I made the airfoil and wing in Blender, converted it to a .step file in FreeCAD, and tested it in SimWorks.

I like a lot of Hans Zimmer goodies. Orchestral, synthetic, stuff like that. Emotional, though-provoking music that makes me feel.

Edit: alright that might be a bit much... you get the point.
+1@AkrionDynamics Sentences have to be contained in quotes.
+1say "hello world"

He lives on...
+1How've you been?
Beautiful and part efficient at the same time. Love it!

+1They can't. Google's Play Store requirements prevents mods from functioning properly on Android (with the exception of a few map addons that still work on Android).
+1You mean that weird "flashing" that happens even at 0% engine power? Yeah, that's normal. I don't think there's a way to fix it unfortunately :/
+1Congrats on platinum!
+1@Lwills Hmm, not really sure. I have AI disabled by default so I'm not familiar with the quirks.
+1@Lwills Ask away
+1@Lwills Ah, they did remove those buttons I suppose.

@Graingy Heh, it does look a bit goofy, especially from the side-view.
+1Wide and stubb.
This actually looks really cool, considering it's only 25 parts.
+1It's a shame there aren't more aircraft like the N-9M.
One that often gets overlooked is the F-107 Super Sabre. Strange beauty that thing is, in my opinion anyways.
+1Technically it never made it past the prototype stage, but still an interesting classic aircraft.
I think it looks quite nice for its part count. Take an upvote :)
+1@BeechcraftA35 That's an issue with the newer SP versions.
+1You can fix it by going back to 1.12.128.0

Setting stability/speed too high can cause the gyro to over-correct itself.

Welcome to the club.
+1Ooh, I like this unique joined-rhomboidal-wing layout.
+1You have to have more points than the user you're spotlighting.
+1So 501ft is the limit.
+1See these from time to time.
+1Needless to say they're more terrifying in real life.
@Thunderthud I see.
+1In that case I'm not sure how to help.
@Majakalona Ah I see.
+1As a modder myself I haven't seen this in the files anywhere so I doubt simply restoring it is possible.

Congrats dude. Looking forward to seeing these next projects should they come to fruition.
+1The devs had their reasons. I'm not entirely sure, but I'm assuming it was probably interfering with the building process of certain aircraft.
+1@V @ReinMcDeer Saw this too. My first thought was how it would affect Jundroo.

I probably ought to start another plugin project, and actually finish it this time...
+1Looks great! I'll definitely need to utilize the stock assets.
@ToeTips Not at all!
