i was initially skeptical on SP2 due to the slightly "cartoony" graphics and it having an actual player character model (one that is really in the uncanny valley, in my opinion) rather than just "sentient" vehicles, but those roads, caves, and rivers are really dragging me in... the power of marketing, perhaps? XD
@Crazyman552588 regarding your custom map wishes, it is possible to do this in Juno thanks to Planet Studio, where not only can you make or modify planets but also add structures to them, which means you can make a big airport like you mentioned, though the structure components are quite primitive so don't expect flight-sim levels of detail (in SimplePlanes this is not possible by default, maybe with mods; and i don't even know what SimplePlanes2 is like so i can't comment on that)
@OACOTEOC hmm, true
whiel i would say that it's possible they're from other countries/continents (hell, i belong in that category) and may not have heard of it, but i doubt that as well since US politics and related stuff are known to just loudly barge into the international scene uninvited
i really have no idea
i can't say much, but i do know that there's a cooldown for name changes on this site, it's possible that that's preventing them from changing usernames
@DarkDust great points tbh, i agree
on a relevant note, the thing that always bugged me is that unlike KSP we can't place down flags on planet surfaces which is kinda... sad i guess? it's possible to kind of recreate this by saving launch locations in sandbox mode, but ever since we got the ability to teleport our crafts to planets, that became a rather pointless thing to do
i've been wondering about this too, i think the main reason as to why it's unpopular is simply cause KSP is such a giant that it just completely overshadows it
i think making the game more user-friendly (more/better/detailed tutorials, sample crafts, etc.) would help a lot in keeping players, as few reach a skill level high enough to really appreciate this game or even openly praise it like i do (i do some very small, free, completely unofficial advertising for JNO on some game forums i'm on, and i really do think it's that good, it's basically my number 1 favourite video game)
however the lack of updates right now is probably what's causing it to be kinda "dead" at the moment (it is like that 99% of the time though), for now the devs are working on SimplePlanes 2 so it's understandable
however, i also think that if JNO gets popular enough to get its own Wikipedia page (needs to fulfil their notability criteria and whatnot) like SimplePlanes did, it'll be smooth(er) sailing from that point on
I just noticed that the "not secure" thing on the Safari search bar is gone after such a long time of it being there, I assume it was there due to the lack of 2FA then? (I kinda miss it now lol)
I did also notice there's a new cookie popup too
@Kaeya appropriate reaction tbh
and by that point it'll likely push 200+ planets since there will be some updates before that (and also because i can actually handle SR2 properly now, since i have a new ipad tho idk if i've ever told y'all lol)
@lafario okay, i absolutely do not remember upvoting or even seeing something like that in the past few days, so it had to have been someone else
and besides, i'm already anti-Nazi in the first place, seeing as one of my favourite video games is pretty much about destroying futuristic Neonazis and using their own weapons against them
we can also rule out finger slips, something which does commonly happen to me, because upvoting a post requires two finger slips, in rapid succession, in specific areas of the screen (and besides, i would've immediately un-upvoted it after noticing)
@lafario i genuinely don't remember anything so i was like "huh??? what the hell did i do now?" and spent a whole day waiting for a response only for you to pull a "lEtS fOrGeT iT"
please explain what's going on because i'm far too confused now
@Tallisar yep, those are pretty much the same suggestions i have
(of course it doesn't have to come right now seeing as we already had a website update a few days ago, but it would be nice to have in the very near future)
@ImperiolTech you can do that by uploading things, if people give those an "upvote" (the blue button on the right) you will get a varying amount of points
seems like this mod and its dependancy needs to be downloaded (bit of a shame it's not a built-in thing like SP, i originally came from there too but now i pretty much only play SR2 since it's just that much better)
images don't work in comments, i know that for sure
and from what i remember, you need a minimum of 100 points (the number next to your username) to be able to even have images appear (you can still use everything else)
these are just very rough guesses, but the yellow outlined one you can get by fiddling with fractal domainwarps (to make them long) and a mask noise (to filter where the mountains will appear), the red outlined one could probably be achieved by some kinda billow noise thing
@XionmassResearchDevt @InherentUnstable a workaround i've found for the input issue is to set the part itself to the AG and the input to "FD.MachNumber>=0" which pretty much acts as an "always on" input, though this does not always work and may not be applicable in every situation, in which case you'll probably need to use vizzy or something
i won't participate because i suck at both building and flying things in this game, but i am curious as to how one is supposed to do this when all but one of the major options for propulsion are forbidden, said option being propellers, which of course don't work in vacuum, and therefore can't be used to complete the last part of raising your periapsis above the atmosphere-vacuum boundary
my best guess is to use explosions of fuel tanks, but idk how forceful those are and it also means needing to carry a whole load of extra weight with you
however, you did say "any method" and didn't rule out glitches (only full-on cheating with tinker panel and in-flight cheats) so those could also be a possibility
