@kpfpz70m933 "aggressive AI" already go for a random/nearest plane or something, and you can't easily set their targets
Aircraft teams - aircraft won't attack other aircraft in the same team. Allies, enemies, and neutral teams are enough.
Possible implementation: When the AI aircraft is selecting a new target, it just skips over its own teammates.
aight if you really want to know
High rankers usually have more followers, that's it. With jet stream, followers can view your post regardless of where it is on the airplanes pages. This has two effects:
1. New posts, before appearing on hottest, get a boost so they end up on hottest, and
2. Posts continue to get more upvotes from jet stream and stay on hottest for longer.
But that's not to say good posts from new players can't appear on page 1 of hottest, because only a few pages of planes get posted in a day.
Also, your last build has some notable factors:
1. It is a dark machine on a dark background. The machine's features are unclear and the image does not stand out. People are less likely to click on this kind of thumbnail. (Use the search function to find thumbnail guides)
2. It is a successor of a well-known post by a well-known user. I can't say for everyone, but this has a negative psychological effect that makes me feel that less has been done, and hence view the post with more scrutiny. It can discourage people from upvoting even if it is very different. On your build, the original frame is visible, so it adds to this issue.
tl;dr
- Normal social networking site effect
- Use a more attractive thumbnail. But keep it ethical, no clickbait
- Use lighter plane colors if appropriate
- Maybe don't make successors, or don't expect too much when making one
@TylerWildDog steps to make any simple sfx:
1. Get sound file
2. Use a program that can do a fourier transform of it
3. Implement in SP using VA blocks, and get it sounding right first
4. Implement switches or volume control with funky trees
@CenturyAerospace hidden images: it will be tough, but yeah, there will be a few willing to go through the trouble
custom sounds has been possible with tone generator mod, if you know how to do additive synthesis
outside of funny variable names, harmful code in FT isn't possible since everything is self-contained
Users whose builds look rough when you zoom in, as in shapes aren't smooth
Also when people make copies of their own build that aren't modified much, but call them different builds

(ocd much)
Statistics and achievements for things other than points would be nice, e.g.
- upload certain number of planes / forum posts / videos / mods
- number of comments or upvotes given
- join community events like tournaments (lol)
- the tags you use on planes
You can cap the speed of cars from the resizeable wheel part
Change maxAngularVelocity value
If you want a method that only affects the engine, you can cut power when the rpm exceeds a certain number
smooth(x,rate) outputs a number that gradually moves towards x, at the rate of rate/second.
Ex: for smooth(x,1), if x is currently 0 then changes to 5, the output value will move from 0 to 5 over 5 seconds.
If rate is 0, the function output gets locked in place, so you can store numbers after x changes.
There was some landing gear tutorial a while back, maybe could go find it
Paneling (working with thin shapes formed by fuselage blocks, try height 0.01) can be used to get around many aircraft shape limitations. It's great for a faceted design.
You can also panel with curved and circular fuselage blocks to produce large, smooth, non-standard circular shapes
Purple: 7F00FF
Blue: 0000FF
Green: 00FF00
Orange: FF7F00
Change according to needs - lighter colors by adding so that the numbers are closer to FFFFFF, darker to 000000.
E.g. Green:
000000 (black) - 007F00 - 00FF00 - 7FFF7F - FFFFFF (white)
To learn more about how RGB values work, play around with a color picker
Bomb systems are not limited in ammo. They use the detach force of the detacher they are connected to, as long as it is active. Thus, you can have as many bombs you want, at a part count of 2-3 per bomb depending on how you build. The system only uses up one AG.
I have made a cannon like this with 16 shots, and spefyjerbf has one with 17 shots.
ONLY USE AGs WHEN YOU MUST EASILY PROGRAM THE FIRING SEQUENCE OF BOMBS, LIKE IN A BOMB REVOLVER!
Also the gun system sucks as there is no splash damage and no bullet drop

- more powerful, but more difficult to run and use
