  • Quick irl story 1.7 years ago

    @DeadlyDialga I cannot argue with your point of view because it is entirely correct.
    Vanilla is superior.
    Other flavors are good but nothing beats a good ol' serving of vanilla.

  • My love towards barbeque sauce 1.7 years ago

    This literary masterpiece of a forum has given me this strange motivation to visit my local warehouse store and purchase an entire crate of barbecue sauce.

    Might as well purchase a few slabs of brisket while I'm at it.

  • Haven't felt a sense of joy in a while. 1.8 years ago

    Like jamesPLANES said, simply going on a walk can be therapeutic.
    Sometimes it's nice to just be outside, alone, away from whatever chaos may be going on, and just let your mind wander.

    As far as other hobbies, what about constructing and flying RC planes? It can get a little bit expensive but it hasn't ceased to entertain me.

  • What's Next? 1.8 years ago

    @Yeetthehen No, because Jundroo can't add community-made mods to the base game without risking potential legal issues.
    As far as photos and more weapons, probably not. They said they were focusing on other things so I doubt we'll see an update in the near future, if at all.

  • Quiz 1.8 years ago

    I know I'm a bit late here but, like Dialga said, the 747-8 is not the largest aircraft.
    Boeing's largest commercial jet is the 777-9X.
    The largest aircraft in the world currently is the SC Stratolaunch.

    If you want to include past aircraft as well, the AN-225 was the largest aircraft ever built.

  • I need help!!! 1.8 years ago

    That's normal. Just give it some downward trim.

    A plane isn't supposed to maintain a perfect pitch attitude at all speeds. Below a certain speed you'll need upward trim and above a certain speed you'll need to apply downward trim. That's just how it works.

  • SimplePlanes Multiplayer 1.8 years ago

    @Mason08 Rebirth (the owner of the Korean server that most people have been using recently) hasn't made any special announcement that I know of regarding the server. According to Rebirth's website the server is "temporarily unavailable for server maintenance, DDoS attacks, or other reasons" so we'll just have to wait until it comes back online or Rebirth makes a formal announcement regarding the server's status.

  • Other Mod In Base Game 1.8 years ago

    It's important to consider the fact that while yes, certain mods/mod features were implemented into SP, those mods and features were made by WNP78 (and maybe some other game devs), and later implemented by them when they joined Jundroo.
    It's different for non-developer mods. They're third-party addons, and adding them to the stock game could cause legal issues for Jundroo. (Credits to RepublicOfCursedPlanes for a better explanation of this.)

    TLDR: No. Unless the mods are made by game developers, the chances of that happening are almost zero.

    This is just my view on the topic however. It's possible I may not have all the facts. If someone more knowledgeable than me happens to see this, feel free to correct anything I might be wrong about.

  • SSTO TAV-01A Wayfinder 1.8 years ago

    Took it for a spin. I really like the design of it. I love the geometric lifting body design. It's something I've really been wanting to experiment with recently for hypersonic vehicles.

    One of the biggest things I noticed while flying was that the drag is absolutely insane. It would fly significantly better if the amount of drag point count was reduced to around 4,000 instead of over 40,000 (you can do this using Overload to decrease drag on certain parts).

    It's also very lightweight for its size and dimensions. The weight should probably be closer to 100,000lbs (45,359kg) or greater (you can do this by modifying the weight of certain parts using Overload) for optimal flight characteristics.

    There are other things that could be updated/added in the future (rocket engines, custom landing gear, maybe a fly-by-wire system for more stability, RCS for control in the upper stratosphere and outside the atmosphere, etc.) that I think would greatly enhance the performance and functionality of the design!

  • (Tutorial) The Basics Of Creating Digital Flight Displays Using Text Labels: 1.8 years ago

    @KSB24 Sorry for the late response. Been occupied with other things.
    So if I understood that correctly, then the expression should look like this:

    {Activate8=1 ? round(GS*3.6)+"Km/H" : " "}

    I tested this and it seems to work fine. It won't display anything when Activate8 is disabled, but if you want to fix this you can fill that blank space between the second set of quotes with whatever you'd like.

  • dont know what i should make 1.9 years ago

    I think it'd be neat to try an autogyro. They're very neat aircraft that we don't see here very often.

    If rotorcraft aren't your thing, then I'd use TheGliderGuy's suggestion. We don't see many good gliders very often.

  • How is this possible? 1.9 years ago

    The pressure inside the airplane is roughly equal to the ambient air pressure at/near ground level, so pressure won't be a big liming factor.

    Oncoming airflow is a different story (as well as which way the door opens).
    But the airspeed during landing isn't nearly as high as it is during cruising, and it's an outward opening door (which will get blown open depending on the direction of airflow).

    I'm not an expert on the topic. These are just my assumptions.

  • What are those graphics mods all the popular builders use? 1.9 years ago

    One of the best and most commonly used tools builders use is Reshade.
    It's not exactly a mod, but a sort of application plugin.

    Works best when used with a mod map and one of the cloud mods.

  • When I crash or take damage, I want the an activation to deactivate. 1.9 years ago

    Well, I don't know of a way to detect damage directly, but you might be able to simulate it by using rate(GForce)># to detect collisions.
    This is just a theory, I haven't tested it. You'll need to tinker with the input to get it working (assuming it works).

  • WZ-8 1.9 years ago

    Not bad for your first build!

    One thing I will say is that you should move the landing gear as close as possible to the Center Of Mass. It allows for better takeoff/landing performance.

  • Do you listen to music while building? 1.9 years ago

    I transition between synthwave and cinematic music (Hans Zimmer, Scott Buckley, Secession Studios, etc.) I also occasionally put on a cinematic in the background.

    Here's one of my favorites:
    Emotional Tech Noir Music - The Machine

    Cinematic music is really good for getting the creative thoughts flowing in my opinion.

  • NEED HELP!! (I say this a lot ??) 1.9 years ago

    There's a nice tutorial here for making custom airfoils.

    If making the wings this way is still too hard, and you don't mind a simpler look, what I do is start with a fuselage shell, cut the control surfaces out and add rotators, and then fit individual wing pieces (0% thickness) into each section of the fuselage-wing shell.

    If that didn't make any sense, you can use one of my builds to see what I mean.
    The method I use isn't as time or part efficient, but it works quite well in my opinion.
