This is probably going to be controversial, but imma say it anyway because it's not likely to offend anyone.
I think, with everyone getting angry over the upvote system, that we need a new system in addition to this. I propose the option to rate the aircraft in a series of categories, generating an overall rating for the aircraft. This isn't foolproof and wouldn't have helped the GC situation, but it can help eliminate some of the problems with upvoting at the moment.
couple of things you could try:
1: regularly publish your creations unlisted
2: copy the xml and bak files into a different folder - if this happens you can just copy them right back in
3: make multiple saves of the same build, which reduces the risk of them all getting corrupted
@TheTyphoon having the same problems with this mod, i only have it enabled to take screenshots to upload with, but playing is near impossible. any alternatives you know of?
hate to break it to you
but it means you've done well
pls dont woooosh me if you understand already
basically the more upvotes you get, the more points you get - per upvote, I think it is 15 for a build post, 2 for a forum post, 0 for a comment, and i cant remember for videos. @Mage2IsTriggered explained the rest, but assuming you have only posted planes up to this point it means you have obtained a total of 67 upvotes which is nothing to sneeze at my friend! well done!
@MufazzalPasha my only hope with my 262 is some fancy livery cuz I won't be able to physically get enough detail in
But I mean the fuselage and wings plain is 400 parts
could try a graphical mod - like a shader or something? advanced rendering was always buggy and has been broken for too long so that could be an idea? it could include advanced reflection rendering (including for the beacon light so people don't have to install a lights mod to access a build), and it could also bring together a couple of other mods such as your system time mod (toggleable in mod settings or something like that obviously) and a clouds mod, if you have already made one. It could also include advanced weather effects, graphical effects such as better explosion graphics (i believe you have already made this as a mod in the past?) and better tyre smoke and marks on things from wheel spin. i recognise that this is a pretty hefty mod to make, so i wouldn't expect you to even attempt it, but if i could make a mod this would be it. I would never be able to create it as my programming skills are way too basic and I don't have unity, so i come here.
i commend you if you actually take the time to read this
@AnotherPlayer i dont know, but I feel like I will for a comment which was kinda indirectly questioning the credibility and trustworthiness of the mods
you dont say
rundown of some events:
-randomusername left
-Spiritus and Jelybaca banned
-german corsair
-'the upvote crisis'
-homemade feels pressured to leave the site
-german corsair gets removed for no reason
-an incident involving a mod on discord
-tully disappears from discord and simpleplanes
-community backlash
-and now... THE GREAT POST PURGE seems to be taking place
@pavthepilot i simply refer you to a removed corsair and an... incident involving discord
im most likely gonna get permabanned if i keep commenting on this, though I dont know why I just feel like it would be something that would happen
@exosuit tbf (relating this to current matters) this is similar to people telling black people to leave if they are offended by being called the n-word as a joke
@Trollium i mean they would when they are directly perpertrators of the incident
i want to clarify that a similar post has just been removed, and the only reason I can think of for this is that the moderators don't want it in SP, possibly because A VERY PARTICULAR ONE OF THEM happened to be heavily involved in this server, and not from a policing standpoint
@TransDadGaming my argument to this would be that this directly involves users of the simpleplanes website who clearly don't know how to conduct themselves. some would argue that this means that they should be banned...
personally I'm torn about this. It seems to be a bit jekyll-and-hyde to me
holup tully is a perpetrator?
i dont know what it was that made me think that Tully was supposed to be sensible and reasonable... it isn't as if he is a MODERATOR OF THE SIMPLE PLANES WEBSITE or anything?
@ACEPILOT109 how do you upload custom screenshots (edited) with designer suite? I can't figure out how to do it, and that was the only reason I got the mod
Teech mee about how to build boat thingys xD
+1Any chance you could give me tips on making the hull of a boat?

@MAHADI thats what I mean - a piston aircraft that had its piston engine replaced with a jet engine - or with a jet added to it
no actually you mean fire a plane out of a tank cannon
can you make an aircraft that was piston engined but used as a jet engine test bed?
Oh yes
I think folders in aeroplane saving too
