OK so I kind of discovered when look for a mod...... Long story short I see potential for this mod and I would like it to be unique not like flans, mcheli, archimedes or any other transportation mod. I like the props and I would like to know if we will get any modern props like twin otter, Bombardier dash 8 or islander and will we get a virtual cockpit?
Hmmm, sounds nice. I think when our lord don_bruce is done with the planes, he might refine some things, and cockpit might be one. I would love to have instead of the HUD/GUI/Thingy that pops up, some controls in the plane that move accordingly to your keypresses and such, like rudder pedals etc. One thing that would be great if we got more modern sort of planes would be a wheel at the front which is motorised and can move so you can taxi down the runway with ease
A cool idea, but might be going beyond the scope of this mod is realistic plane dog fights, where things like guns and stuff can happen, and then if you can make loop-the-loops possible, then it would also make that even more fun, as many people still use flans for the guns, and some people just like like the horrible physics. Also, can we have a status update on the new plane?
When you add the coffee machine, can there be different types, such as one with a glass pitcher that pours black coffee into itself, them the pitcher can be held which when you right click on an empty mug, pours black coffee, which you can then add milk to turn it into normal coffee. Another version would just do normal coffee.
Razzel, are you still taking in suggestions, and could we get a 'monthly preview', and I know you sometimes post *some* models on Twitter, this would be on the forums, which would show all the new features that are gonna be added. If you do that...
If I were working on a 1.8 model, I could use MrCrayfish's Model Creator, which exports to json script. As for the texture, I could simply edit the rusty hatch's texture to work with the model.
Thanks, can I get previews, I can see some file types, so I could moderate the design, as it was my idea (and some of it was yours)
Could we have a safe door that has a really cool, over the top animation? And then a submarine door, which is a metal door with a handle that spins to open the door.
Although I can implement jets, I'm worried on how to balance them with the prop planes. As it stands, prop planes are pretty fast, and can exceed Minecraft's 'speed limits'. Implementing fast jets would mean I'd have to slow down the prop planes significantly to balance them out. Additionally, I'm worried that jets would break the Minecrafty-ness of the mod. I'll have to re-evaluate after I've added more prop planes.

Unfortunately, Minecraft doesn't support those types of things. If you want to use non-keyboard controllers with Minecraft you'll have to bind their inputs to a key using a keybinder like JoyToKey or Xpadder.

I've worked with .obj models before, and while they're easy to spawn, they aren't native to Minecraft so carrying them over during updates is going to be a pain. There's also the matter of separate parts and dynamic rendering, which is better done in native Java code. I'll have to look into a custom tessellator class, as currently I'm using custom function calls with x,y,z parameters. They get the job done, but I'd like to reduce the code contained in model classes.
As to air density? It exists, but rain/snow has no effect. I use the function 1.225*Math.pow(2, -posY/500), which basically means that the air becomes unflyably thin around Y=400 for the MC-172. I'll add in something for weather, as it'll give one more reason to turn off the rain

I'm not wanting to make models as detailed as MCHeli. While I admit they're awesome and fun to play with, they don't really fit the theme of Minecraft. By non-square I mean models composed of cuboid shapes like quadrilaterals, trapezoids, and triangles. If done right, you can make really detailed things that still look like something Steve could cobble together. Like the new windows on the MC-172.
Can the current plane be more like it's real counterpart, the Cessena 172, with things like a enclosed cabin, etc. I know that models are hard, but this is suppose to be realistic...

I much rather a .obj file which macs can see. Not a line of text. But from reading it, you have been making progress

I don't know coding, but maybe just copy the propulsion code, change some block ids and get rid of some stuff and bam?

Will I still get the beta releases? I am a beta tester, so I should keep on getting them, right?
