** Suggestion whitedrawn **
~~ Adding Flaps would be cool, of course. Animating them would be a nightmare for the devs, and is a rejected suggestion. My suggestion is to make no visual effects, maybe add them later. Do something like
Flaps X: -Y speed, -Z stall speed.
Would be possible to code, and improve the game a lot. ~~
#Not animated Flaps

no
it's dev's discretion to do so, but it's unethical to just give them stat modification only rather than with animation
animating them is actually easy
the reason why there aren't many is that it's (1) an old model with joined parts, (2) devs don't know them, albeit i can just teach them as I have experience in animating vehicles in Aero, and (3) it's irrelevant or would just waste time compared to a more efficient or mass production of vehicles
specifically vehicles that aren't added to the game
let me guess, you want airliners to have airbrakes?

(4) planes that don't go too fast don't need airbrakes, just use reverse thrusters

Or do orbit (if you believe that revs braking are not realistic/fly aircrafts that have this feature)

Yes, it is the devs discetion to do so. But why should it be unethical?

players wouldn't know if they have activated airbrakes or not
stuck pelican
oh so he wants flaps with no animations
hazy pilot
which would influx bug reports

Gameplay over graphics/animations

Definitely

Make a flaps handle next to the thrust levler

adds complexity to the UI making and additional coding

Yeah fly isn't coding that lol

See that point

we already have too much we don't need more in our screens

Is this a free kill

He wants flaps that aren't visual so it's not really in the rejected category

the animations are most of the work i guess, maybe add them later

no wonder why i did you this

No devs want to add animation to anything, it's not worth the dev time
unless it's REALLY simple like the Electra

worth for me, matter of fact the 2 interaction keys isn't sufficient for my helicopter
hoists, side doors, ramps

not really, just add 1 part, parent the part you want to animate to said part, then just edit the values inside the part then that's basically it
no coding involved btw
nor blender
well blender to make models
but rarely to animate for aero
more like preview of what's gonna happen if it's in aero
than animate in blender and put it in aero
the same applies to what happens when you press T or Y
there are parameters you can edit
also no coding involved
means this suggestion is worthless

Dont knew this
olive ermine
Though you have to do it in Blender
hazy pilot
Though you have to do it in Blender
negat, no need for blender to animate as i said
just modelling
we're talking about the animation of parts where they move smoothly
the ones that devs can do is what we call toggle animation (toggle transparency) where an already made part that is enabled is transparent before you press the keybind
such as gears
both the closed and open gears already exist, they just don't exist visually
whereas with smooth animation, only one part exists, which saves part count and possibly optimization
the only requirement here are 2+ parts where they are shown as enabled or disabled, opened or closed, flaps down or up
one of them is transparent
the configuration of vehicles is done in roblox studio, not in blender
worthy jolt
Stall speeds already account for flaps when possible
Just knowing the different stall speeds for different configurations would be hell

everytime it's being asked for non animated flaps, there's gonna be animated flaps asked right next
given that they work in game but just not visible, it comes down to this

Fails the 3th question
limpid marten
if your suggestion isnt to animate them then what is your suggestion
i am very confused
steady bough
if your suggestion isnt to animate them then what is your suggestion
Apparently to add flaps he said
lucid blaze
Fails the 3th question
it fails even 2nd
limpid marten
Apparently to add flaps he said
whar
that doesnt make sense
add flaps but dont animate them?
steady bough
that doesnt make sense
Wdym
limpid marten
what
steady bough
add flaps but dont animate them?
Yes
lucid blaze
yk how gears are pop-up/toggle?
steady bough
it fails even 2nd
And that
lucid blaze
that's what this suggestion is
limpid marten
ohhhh right
lucid blaze
to make them pop up instead of proper anim
limpid marten
equally as pointless as animating them
steady bough
Exactly
lucid blaze
call me lazy but i can think of dozen of reason why we shouldn't just from the top of my head
