I would like to report some issue:
Turret mount "Bottom" and Barrel "Forward" and Weapon "Cannon" does not work properly
As far as I can tell, there's some sign problems. I seem to be able to fix general aiming by inverting RollAngle and TargetElevation, but the ballistic calculation is still way off target as it seem to always have a negative estimated flight time, and that is a problem I don't know hot to tackle
As for context, I tested the code on a helicopter with a turreted grenade launcher, and all targets are below the turret
@Qui11iamSurLaFeui11e
Absolutely it can take off from the carrier. Watch the video
And I also pushed the plane to its limits under current tuning. Video Here
(Please watch both videos till the end)
@Qui11iamSurLaFeui11e
Yes. It was my mistake. So to make up for it, I did it properly this time.
Didn't put too much effort into description of the plane or the video (again), so both of them are unlisted (again). Plane Here
@krevedkopro I know range is not the issue here, as I was almost directly above the target and the cannon was still aimed too short (and yes, I made sure the target was not in a deadzone either)
Rule 5 isn't super clear on what it means. So am I allowed to change the frame length and axle width or not? Am I allowed to arrange the rest of the frame for weight balancing or not? And from what I can tell from previous questions, it seems like I are allowed to modify the wheels as long as they're in reasonable range?
@MrHoboDuck I want to feature this plane in a upcoming YouTube tutorial on Simpleplanes that may or may not happen any time soon, but since I'm planning on doing it, I believe I should obtain a permission to use it from you before I commit any time to it
@mikoyanster I've recorded combat video for Mission #1 and Mission #5 on your modded maps. There weren't any problems for me when loading them up. Do I have your permission to edit and post those videos on my YouTube channel? (Since I'm using you map, which is your creation, I think I need a permission from you)
@mikoyanster when I tried to load my plane onto different platforms with and without mods, in both default and modded sandboxes, I had no trouble (including downloading from the website). It might be a result of me XML modding with somewhat unconventional ways, but it might also be a problem with it interfering with one of the mods you have installed. Maybe try disabling all of your mods but your testing map? I don't think it is a platform issue because I tested my vehicles with Windows client as well, both modded and unmodded client

Aerial Combat can be switched out for Airborne
Combat can be switched out for Supremacy, Assault, Intercepting
Wing can be switched out for Squadron
tbh I find wing art and tail art more important than emblems. I just started to put YHI identifying wing art on my planes. It's like a branding, a way of showing who you are, and can be seen on all your works. A very complicated emblem can't really be made into the game nicely
@HistoricBirds Oh it is just a fun project I made with Python, doesn't work if you don't have Python installed. You can just use any online translator though, such as this one

@HistoricBirds Sorry I was off the site for a while. I accept the invitation. I have provided some information in this post, hopefully it is enough info

@Strikefighter04 I'd actually like to put the original kanji name in the description or the title, but the system turns it into "??". I'll try it here to see if it works: 震電
I just want an updated XML modding guide and FT guide, the current ones are kinda outdated (especially the XML modding guide)

@MrHoboDuck you better read those paragraphs, even just skim over them, it will (hopefully) help you through your troubles

May I ask an ETA for the final result and video of all participants?

callsign: "Yuzu"
preferred aircraft: I use a lot of different modded and unmodded WWII styled planes, but here's the only up-to-date one uploaded: Nakajima J2N1. All other planes currently uploaded are outdated, as I have made modifications to them after I uploaded them
Aircraft name: varies depends on which plane I pick. Some of the better sounding names including Hayatsukaze or Akanekumo, and some planes only has designation but no name.
Slim sent me an invitation, so I thought I'll just put my info here

Not the exact same model I flew in the video, but the only difference is load out and paint job.
Limitation on XML modding?

@JoshuaW Can you tell me how did you change the AI of the game? (Or is there anywhere I can find the source code to learn it myself?)
