It is okay to download someone else's airplane, make some tweaks and re-upload a new variation.
In fact, the original designer may even receive bonus points.
However, if your variation does not offer any improvements over the existing airplane, then it may be removed.
If you are circumventing the predecessor/successor system and uploading other people's airplanes without giving any credit to the original designer, then you will be banned.
Why I am not breaking any rules:
I think it should be clear that I follow rule 1. I downloaded a plane, made, not some, but many tweaks and additions, even though it may not look like it at first glance, then I uploaded the plane as a suceesor, not breaking rule 4. Therefore, rule 2 applies. One could argue what 'improvements' are (rule 3), but I did add landing gear, so even if you think this plane is worse in every other aspect it at least has the improvement of being able to take off and land.
@ForeverPie @FrankieB Look again. I do not want to be stamped as a copyer when I spent some hours, yes you read right, hours on tweaking this plane, adding stuff and changing things around -.-
Xml is the file type SimplePlanes saves all files. If you edit the XML you can establish things not possible in the game. It isn't supported on IOS because Apple doesn't want their users to look around in the files of the system. A jailbreaked IOS device is the only IOS device with support for XML modding.
I can't disagree more with you (regarding the new update not bringing anything to plane building). We got circular fuselages! More inputs, wheels, shocks, small rotators, rescalable parts!
Ranting aside, thank you for your time, I am already looking forward to see you back when the next update arrives!
It depends. Interior can be very cool, but if the outside has to be compromised I'm not the biggest fan. (Often interior planes look very square) The second negative thing is that the part count can skyrocket.
@Matthew01 @c4stor Most planes fly terribly with keypad. I don't get why anyone would use it. The mouse as joysticks works well if you don't have any real game pad or joystick.
@Matthew01 Considering that fighter planes generally are very unstable and only flyable thanks to onboard computer systems it does not surprise me that this would be unstable at all.
@realluochen9999 no modding
The landing gear could need some disabling of aircraft collisions
@LeHoneyBadger???
@MoterKade They are to be expected to be quite similar as they are replicas of the same plane.
@clayman0 This
@BaconAircrafts This?
@BaconAircrafts Do it! Do not hurt my eyes with any other fonts for the sas logo xD
@Liquidfox Well, I dunno if I will do a v3, maybe I'll do a proper 172 based on it ...
@Liquidfox This was for the daredevil tournament
@BaconAircrafts
Thank you!For @clayman0 and other interested people:
Improvements include but are not limited to:
Please! Look closer before accusing someone of copying! Lots of time was spent tweaking, testing and building this!
@FrankieB looks good
@clayman0
This part in the rules is interesting:Tweaking airplanes is okay

@FrankieB Do that if you want :)
@FrankieB I wish I were there
Awesome!
@clayman0 Take a look again, but closer.

@clayman0 Have you read the rules yourself?
@NovaTopaz oh, I didn't know that. I've always been an android user myself, and I'm definitely not planning on switching

@TimothyWong They're literally at the top of the site (Press the black box with three horizontal stripes on mobile)
I think you are overreacting a bit; this is nothing new at all.

@TheMajesticWalrus I kinda designed the engines to look awesome in that setting.

@TheMajesticWalrus I already knew that.
Although it doesn't have sufficient lift to take off vertically the VTOL nozzles provide a great way to add lift at lower speeds.
A good successor :)
Look at this.

The logo looks a bit out of place ;)
@AndrewGarrison
@c4stor Every part can be scaled by adding the
scale="x,y,zattribute to the part in the XML file.@Matthew01 @c4stor Most planes fly terribly with keypad. I don't get why anyone would use it. The mouse as joysticks works well if you don't have any real game pad or joystick.
@Matthew01 Aeromodelling?
@Matthew01 Considering that fighter planes generally are very unstable and only flyable thanks to onboard computer systems it does not surprise me that this would be unstable at all.
@Matthew01 I hardly notice any difference. It is also much more preferable to shift fuel instead of adding dead weight.
@AndrewGarrison @Skua @MediocrePlanes
@Cailean Have you deleted any of your planes?
Very nice! Here's how I would've done the intakes.
What happened to your points?
We do have really good mods indeed :)
