  • F4U Corsair 4.2 years ago

    @47parzival41 yeah, I was going to wait for 1.10 to come out on iOS but I kind of just wanted to get to gold as well. I’ll work on smoothing out the canopy in the Avenger next week.

  • Highly Classified... (teaser!) 4.2 years ago

    I believe the website you are referring to is Wikipedia. At least my teachers really make it sound illegal...

  • No Vertical Stabilizer Challenge [Closed] 4.2 years ago

    @Planicopter yes

  • No Vertical Stabilizer Challenge [Closed] 4.2 years ago

    @50CalChicken fuselage yes, v tail only if if is for the horizontal stabilizers.

  • no stabilizer 4.2 years ago

    @alpharatt1snake I was wondering what those engines were...

  • How well do you know KnightOfRen? 4.2 years ago

    Oof. I only got 4

  • No Vertical Stabilizer Challenge [Closed] 4.2 years ago

    All of the wings - structural, horizontal, vertical, and primary - act the same. So, when I said no vertical stabilizer, I meant that there should be no wing that’s vertical. Take a look at the B2 Spirit to see an example of this.

  • no stabilizer 4.2 years ago

    So, here’s the thing. All of the wings - structural, horizontal, vertical, and primary - act the same. So, when I said no vertical stabilizer, I meant that there should be no wing that’s vertical. Take a look at the B2 Spirit to see an example of this. If you can edit this plane to remove the vertical stabilizer, that would be great. Otherwise, I can’t score this.

    @BagelPlane works like a charm now. Thanks!

    @Marcochoy2007 that’s ok.

  • No Vertical Stabilizer Challenge [Closed] 4.2 years ago

    @AWESOMENESS360 of course. It just can’t be something that you’ve already posted as a published build.

  • About the famous "baguette" 4.2 years ago

    Part Two Since the French Indochina War, the French have been involved in numerous conflicts. To abide by SimplePlanes’ policy on politics, I won’t be getting any further into this topic. Long story short, these claims have been made by ignorant people or those who want to crack a joke. I’m pretty sure the French taken prisoner after their defence of Dunkirk wouldn’t be finding it too funny.

  • About the famous "baguette" 4.2 years ago

    Part One Well, for the last 1,000-ish years, the English have taken great enjoyment in tormenting the French (see Steven Clarke’s book on the topic). One of these methods of torment includes bringing up one of the styles of bread that has come from France - the baguette 🥖. It is often employed by people who want to make fun of the French and their culture, as a way of saying “ha ha, the only thing interesting about you lot are your long pieces of bread!”
    While on the same topic, many like to call the French “surrenders”, in reference to the capitulation of France to Nazi Germany in 1940. Simple-minded “historians” have read about the French surrender and turned it into a form of mockery. They use arguments such as “you couldn’t possibly expect the Maginot Line to hold up against a German invasion!” or “You thought the Ardennes were impenetrable to tanks!? That’s just silly..” or, my personal favorite, “Why couldn’t they just assume the Germans would go through Belgium? They were Nazis, after all.”
    On top of those insults, jokes are made about the French Tricolor as well, such as the one that suggests that the only reason there was white on the flag was to give the French a means of surrender. Again, this “observation” has been made time and time again by people who watched one Oversimplified video on YouTube and called themselves master historians.
    Lastly, the people who make these “hon hon baguette” surrender jokes have quite conveniently forgotten the 40,000 French soldiers who gave their lives in order to defend their beloved country and allow their fellow countrymen a second chance at driving the Allied boot up Germany’s backside. Outside of the standing French army, these “historians” have also seemingly forgotten the 200,000 active resisters in France to the occupying Germans. These resistance members fought both actively and passively against the Germans - assassinating German sentries, slashing tires, resisting orders, and sabotaging telephone and communication lines. How convenient go forget this.
    Moving down the timeline now to 1946, we come across another conflict: The French Indochina War. This was a conflict in modern day Vietnam between the French and Vietnamese population in the form of the Viet Minh. The conflict in Indochina was lost and eventually gave way to the Vietnam War. Since their involvement in Indochina, the French have shied away from conflicts on a large scale. However, that does not mean they are exempt from them either.

  • Cool Jet 4.3 years ago

    @TheGoldenJetMaker that’s perfectly understandable, and this is well deserving of them.

    This is really cool! I like the VTOL for the gas pedal.

  • Forum upvote points should be increased 4.3 years ago

    0.5 points would be cool for comments. Of course, they couldn’t be displayed as a decimal, but they could be shown when two upvotes are given.

  • We’ll Be Right Back 4.3 years ago

    @WarHawk95 @WarshipDude
    As of now, the gun is just a placeholder. It will be replaced with a semi functional sight.

  • RMS Titanic (Lifesized and sinkable) 4.3 years ago

    @TheSavageManZ brilliant, thanks!

  • RMS Titanic (Lifesized and sinkable) 4.3 years ago

    @TheSavageManZ no, but my laptop always gives me an error message when I try to use them.

  • RMS Titanic (Lifesized and sinkable) 4.3 years ago

    I hate to be that guy, but could somebody post this without the mods?
    Great ship, btw!

  • How to delay a hinge rotator? 4.3 years ago

    @SnoWFLakE0s thanks, it worked!

  • A6M3 Zero 4.3 years ago

    4nd

  • How to delay a hinge rotator? 4.3 years ago

    @SnoWFLakE0s ok.
    I don’t have any gear doors, but a 1 second delay on both ends would be great.

  • How to delay a hinge rotator? 4.3 years ago

    @SnoWFLakE0s I’m trying to make the retraction/extension of landing gear to be delayed, so one retracts before the other starts to move. I’ve played around with various inputs, but I’m really just guessing.

    @Blue0Bull
    Can you make this post a successor to this challenge? https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/bSG0md/WW2-Bomber-Challenge-Open
    Sorry to be asking again. I intend to make it a successor from the get-go, but I forgot. If you can’t, I understand.

  • Contributor achievement 4.3 years ago

    @50CalChicken on the Steam version of SP, you unlock an achievement for uploading to the site. Presumably, they use both a phone/tablet and a computer, but they had nothing to upload from the computer yet to get the achievement.
