@ZeroWithSlashedO Oh sorry, no I couldn't figure that one out. I don;t think it's possible. Even if you set delays on everything, if you have a lock and fire the missle, it'll release instantly.
The way I went around it with my FA-20, is delaying the missile ignition. Meaning, the missile will free fall for a certain amount of time and then speed off and manoeuvre.
You can do this by putting "ignitionDelay" in the missile properties. Best use overload for this.
If you want, download my FA-20 v2.0 and look at the properties of any of the missiles. Could help showcasing better what I'm talking about.
@Dathcha I hear you. And I know my aircraft aren't as good as a lot of aircraft on here. Like, I'm not gonna say my aircraft are on par with for example something like Ypaypa's SuKhoi-Su-57, or Walvis's AF-55B Adelaide. I certainly don't do paneling and that stuff.
But then I see planes like Derlurje's German Corsair pass by. And I don;t mean disrespect to Derlurje at all, it's cool that he/she got a lot of publicity for their aircraft. But let's be honest, it's not a good looker... It doesn't look special. It hardly has a cockpit. Yet it has 47 upvotes!
Bah, I'm ranting again.. Maybe I am in the spectrum somewhere. Probably.
Can you perhaps do me a favor, and download my Tu-95 Bear or my FA-20 and tell me your honest opinion. Give me tips to improve on and stuff? And whether you're missing something?
@Korzalerke Yeah I know, totally. It's weird like, I never really gave a shit about it. It's just that I don't understand why my aircraft aren't doing as good as some other aircraft. I can't seem to reach the same crowd as some others do.
You're right though, the internet points are irrelevant. They don't bring me anything of value in my life. But it would be nice if for once some of my aircraft get the same appreciation as others do, if that makes sense..
@MADDOGLUCAS Alright, download any plane which has a functional HUD. Save this plane in your own SimplePlanes list. Also save the HUD as subassembly.
Now, go to Appdata/locallow/jundroo/simpleplanes/airaft and find the aircraft you just saved. Open the XML.
At the top of the opened XML, you'll see the variables. Copy these. Don't just copy thr variables themselves but copy them from the top word "variable" to the bottom word "variable", including spaces and all that stuff.
Now, just paste this into the xml of the aircraft you want to use the HUD in and it should work. In your plane XML, there should already be one "variable" word by default. Highlight this and paste the HUD variables. The layout should then automatically be correct too.
Lemme know if that helps. I would make screenshots but I'm not at home at the moment.
@Korzalerke Hey, there actually seems to be a bit of a problem with that code. It does limit roll but it also makes the rotators respond to pitch. Is there a way to remove that?
Jeez... This is SimplePlanes bro, I think you misunderstood it for Microsoft Flight Sim. This is the most detailed and functional aircraft I've ever seen in this game! Very cool!
I'm trying to get the Ace of Aces achievement but for some reason it's not counting any aircraft kills. Not in free flight, not in the dogfight challenge, not anywhere. Is there something I'm missing? Or can I not use missiles?
@FeatherWing Ah, it's because the rest of the game doesn't handle it well. Texture panels seem to respond as a whole to light so if you drive over a runway, which is made out of repeating texture panels, then it lights up the whole panel instead of actually acting as a point light or spotlight. Long story short, it means that the whole game need to be re-textured so that 3D light sources respond correctly.
@Phoebe Yes I know about fuselages and paneling lol. I mean making a hole on the side of a fuselage. Yes you can do it with paneling and all that stuff but it would be a lot easier if you could have just one part that makes a hole anywhere you want. Plus you can then easiely move it or resize it if you need.
@133Hans There's no good way to make that turret work anyway. Not without either some proper AI flying the aircraft or a proper autopilot. Or maybe AI controlling the turret Which all doesn't exist.
Otherwise you'll have to control the turret and the plane at the same time. There's no use for it.
Flies great, looks even better! Awesome job!
+1@jjtt4i5 You go right ahead :)
@PlaneLiveryChanger Thanks! :)
Thank you! @XAircraftManufacturer @LonelyAustrianUhlan
Cool plane! The red crosses though lol. Saving lives, by killing the bad guys!
Looks awesome, great job!

@ZeroWithSlashedO You can put it in the input of the rotators you use for the doors.
@Dathcha Thanks :)

@IceCraftGaming hmmm, do you have an example maybe of this shadow? I don't recall seeing this.

BRUH this has 39 upvotes... I'm done..
Judging by this picture: https://www.airlive.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/An-225.jpeg
It's broken beyond repair...
@MADDOGLUCAS Awesome! :)

@ZeroWithSlashedO dude go for it! It's free real estate
@Walvis Yeah I'll try and figure it out, cheers though!
@Korzalerke Hey, there actually seems to be a bit of a problem with that code. It does limit roll but it also makes the rotators respond to pitch. Is there a way to remove that?
@Korzalerke Legend, cheers!
Cool plane, too little upvotes.
@AeroAeroTheMen Perfect ,thanks!
@spefyjerbf Yeah I agree, it's sometimes just a bit funky to get it to work properly. Would be nice to have it in there by default in my opinion :)
@KONOJERRYDA YES
@JeskoGoesVROOM I've not seen that display but I'll have to have a look. Haven't played SR2 that much.
@AirCrashInvestigationFLR Yes
Jeez... This is SimplePlanes bro, I think you misunderstood it for Microsoft Flight Sim. This is the most detailed and functional aircraft I've ever seen in this game! Very cool!
@PyrrhaNikos I'm pretty far from ok bro. I just wanted to build a blimp and now I'm traveling the very fabric of time and space itself...
Also only just realized you made the Aston logos completely by hand with parts. That's POG..
This is so cool! Looks 1 to 1. Amazing job!
This thing is awesome!
Super cool build, looks amazing!
You deserve more upvotes for this one. It looks amazing.
@AvalonIndustries Thanks for the upvote and spotlight!
This is too good... Holy shit! Awesome!
@WarHawk95 Yeah, weirdly enough it seems to only work for me if I use guns. It doesn't work if I use missiles..
@ShinkansenGuy blyaaat....

@FeatherWing That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks! That mod really needs to become an in-game feature.
@FeatherWing You mean there's a mod with better lighting?
@Jonasscott

@JuanNotAnAlt Ah I figured it out thanks to BeastHunter. Had to copy the Variables. Thanks though!

@133Hans Nope it doesn't work. Didn't put any effort into it other than looks.
@MrShenanigans Thanks! And thanks for the spotlight!
@Bellcat
1. Yes, it's a twin prop, well spotted!
2. Shame
3. I bet the FAA won't mind it in SimplePlanes.
@DeezDucks It might not be, I just thought it made sense :P
@DeezDucks I thought that kinda was the point, if you like a teaser than you probably want to see the final product. Sorry I tagged you than..
