@jamesPLANESii @SavageMan While the “don’t tread on me” flag has been recently associated with a certain US political party, I wouldn’t say that the flag itself is very controversial or political.
.
However, if there is any rhetoric attached to the flag, then it would be political. And yes, such rhetoric can include applauding the actions of certain people who have put the flag on their trucks, and have driven them to various cities to make a very political statement. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you can disregard this part of my comment.
Very possible. Not sure why the first comment says that it can’t be done. I’ll leave the rest of the commenters to help you for now. If you don’t get a code that works, tag me later.
@WereOutOfNamesArentWe LUNA should work on any aircraft. As long as you follow the instructions, you should be fine. If you run into any problems, feel free to ask too.

This system is free for anyone to use - just give appropriate credit wherever applicable!
@BogdanX Definitely. My bushplane that I made was, build-wise, quite mediocre (I am proud of my math behind the engine though). Somehow it got a ton of attention because of the background.
.
I do wish that people would make their aircraft the primary subject of their thumbnails. In other words, do not edit the plane (brightness/contrast is ok to tweak a little), and to not put in a bunch of extra graphical nonsense. I’d like to believe that my (and your) thumbnails are used to showcase the plane, and little more.
@BogdanX I’ve had that opinion for a long time too. I am guilty of using custom thumbnails though - I simply get a drastically lower amount of reception when I do not use a custom thumbnail.
Perhaps linking users to an upload using the teaser post itself would be best practice. In other words, if someone asks for you to tag them, you tag them by replying to them with the link to your uploaded aircraft.

Just a suggestion for other players.
When people post a lot on the forums, they get a lot of upvotes. Always happens like that. Some low-quality plats, for example, have their votes from people who they know through the forums.
I saw that post on the gram a while ago. Congrats! Only do it if you want. It might be a good idea to make a quick account to reserve your name though.
@comradelmo64 Unfortunately there is not a one-size-fits-all way to master XML modding. If I had to give one piece of advice, it would be to develop your skills in math. Regardless of what kind of math you may be studying at the moment, it is important! Eventually, you will be able to use mathematics to do a huge variety of amazing things (including XML modding and Funky Trees).

As for my name, it is a completely random string of letters.
Generally speaking plats who don't have good quality have short-lived popularity. It is also common for a player to revamp their profile after they have hit a certain amount of followers. I, for example, was pretty spammy in the past, but now I focus on high-quality projects.
Note that I have not tried out the beta. I have heard some descriptions of the TargetElevation and TargetHeading parameters that would require some extra steps to this basic method.
@Alpha6 No idea. The early days of my profile were quite disorganized. Feel free to take a look at my pre-1.7 fleet (in my bio) for some of the highlights though!
Not sure why I was tagged tbh. But if you want an honest opinion, I am perfectly fine with the 3 upload a a day number. That way, people can’t spam the site.
@KnightOfRen I only criticize fictional stuff because that’s my area of expertise. It’s fine to criticize replicas, though I can see how doing so can often be unconstructive. At the end of the day, a replica can never be perfect - the creator must make the necessary simplifications along the way. OP also has a point in which people can be way too detail-oriented, to where they just get annoying with their suggestions.
.
That said, criticism as a concept isn’t a bad thing. We should all strive to improve.
@Gluck Please do! I provide the code so others can use it. As long as you mention me in the description! Also tag me so I don’t miss what you build.

+2@STUKAWOLF87 Unfortunately I am unable to pull up the unity file. The mod version included in this post is probably your best shot.
@FeiWu I think ED defines rating as the contest host judging entries.

Yeah lmao, keep scrolling
Yes. It is weird.
+3Very cute. Makes me want to add another plant to my living room.
+2A few mathy FT achievements for me:
- Projecting reference frames to describe lateral, longitudinal, and vertical velocities. Perfect for advanced FT flight systems.
- Projecting reference frames to describe the direction of gravity regardless of aircraft orientation. Good for making things float with FT.
- Making an electric engine governed by a differential equation (with FT).
+1Add another hidden needle that twists the other way. That should balance out the torques.
+1@Alpha6 Most likely not, though there is probably a small crew rather than a single pilot.
+1@KnightOfRen Ty!
@EternalDarkness Guilty as charged :)

@comradelmo64 Try your best to make creations with nice shapes and paintjobs!

+5Custom LG does not need to be overly complicated. I, for example, spend very little time on my custom LG.
I can relate.
+5Flak time.

Depends if the player has an established reputation or not. Many golds have a reputation of high quality equal to that of plats.

Very cool. Bad screenshots don’t give it the attention it needs - hopefully a spotlight will help!
+3Both. Make good stuff, but don’t spend so long on a single project that you bore yourself.
+1@Sankalpnarayan Setting your physics to “high”, in your settings, should do the trick.

+1No problem! You deserve recognition for your builds.
+2@BagelPlane Below comment
Use “clearDebugExpressions” or something like that.
@comradelmo64 Ty! Unfortunately, I am too impulsive to be a moderator. At the moment, we have some great mods!
Note that I have not tried out the beta. I have heard some descriptions of the
TargetElevationandTargetHeadingparameters that would require some extra steps to this basic method.@Dad Depends on the sort of turn. Something sudden cannot be predicted.
@Alpha6 No idea. The early days of my profile were quite disorganized. Feel free to take a look at my pre-1.7 fleet (in my bio) for some of the highlights though!
+1@NumbersNumbersTheMan Looks like they beat me to it. I can't look at the code, but I've heard that it works pretty well!
@Alpha6 Not necessarily. The main difference between the two weapons is that the delta version is burst-fire.
Automatic turrets are possible now. This is awesome!
+10@Alpha6 It shouldn’t be too difficult!
Ah. Snowflake beat me to it haha
+1@ProjectVideoGame It should be working on 1.9 too! The reason why I had to update it has to do with SP updating its unity version.
Not sure why I was tagged tbh. But if you want an honest opinion, I am perfectly fine with the 3 upload a a day number. That way, people can’t spam the site.
+1Yay! Even the small updates are quite nice. Excited for it.
+1Yay, I made it on the list! In my eyes, you were always a legend on this site. Congrats on plat!
