Right.

And unfortunately, this strip is right where I always left-click

Is this something any of you guys might happen to know about? I'm also concerned if my touch pad is actually broken or if I can fix this with a restart.

Hmm. Right as I'm doing some delicate work in Unity, my touch pad starts acting funny. I opened the touch pad settings and it seems as though a strip of my touchpad broke. Strange. See, whenever my finger is touching this 1-finger-wide vertical strip on my touchpad, the touchpad thinks I'm not pressing it any more. This causes it to thing I clicked because it thinks I tapped when I pass the strip.

huh

Okay... Something else: How do I make a texture for a tire? I'm not sure how I should draw the material and I'm not sure how it will wrap around the surface. I have no idea what It'd look like.

Which means that the player could only look in the direction of the window's perpendicular bisector.

@Vaillancourt Flat windows couldn't happen on a B-29. The front windows are curved themselves, and the entire front is made up of windows and bars separating the windows into separate pieces. Technically, I could make them flat. But that would make it look like a golf ball at the front. And for the astrodomes, they're astrodomes. I can't flatten the astrodomes and still allow the player to look around a 360x180 hemispherical view. Flat astrodomes are just windows.

I see.

Hmm... confusing. So what do you mean by "Stencil tricks and camera layering"? I don't quite understand what you mean. Render textures seam easy, but I guess they wouldn't work so well with curved windows-- and as a matter of fact, curved windows are on basically every plane.

They're bubbles. Bubble windows for gunners. How do I assign a render texture to that without some nasty failure. Oh, and also there's the camera.

Oh but wait. What about my astrodomes?

Yeah. I'll make the windows render textures.

Oh man.

Okay now you have me confused.

...

True, but how will the player enter the plane?

it won't collide without the collider. The mesh collider I give it isn't concave.

not a mesh collider

Yes, but I need a mesh collider that fits the mesh

Triangles

Ouch. @DMGregory SketchUp can't make Meshes.

SketchUp

So... how am I supposed to make a convex piece that matches the shape of the airplane's unique fuselage?

You mean make several convex pieces?

Is there some kind of way that I can make a concave mesh collider? Because I seriously don't want to have to create some sort of a crazy weird sideways vase-shaped collider for the front of my plane. Nor do I want to spend the time making crazy curved colliders for the fuselage.

I'm also just going to warn you, it reports anything with a link it doesn't trust, such as vixia. Most of the reports I see are fp because it detected a link that had nothing wrong with it.

I'm assuming something like 332-987-8922 or 1-587-923-6573 might trigger it to thing it's a phone number.

Right.

@amWhy lol, It hasn't mistaken any equations for phone numbers yet, well, at least not that I have seen.

The portion is actually supported by the fact that it detects e-mail addresses and links, which often ends up detecting questions asking about e-mail addresses, which have nothing to do with mathematics SE.

Just wanted to ask someone more familiar with the site if this is a common problem or not.

Hmm? Yes, actually. I'm just reviewing posts reported by MS, and am reviewing posts specifically from mathematics SE, and am finding that so far, over half of the reported questions are entirely off-topic (the off-topic part isn't why they were reported though.) I'm seeing posts that should belong on sites such as SO and Super User.

Do you guys get off-topic answers on the site often?

watched it because I found another report post answer by the same user that also contains that website in it. It seems the user is answering the question but trying to lead users to their website.

@cigien not sure what I should do about this review post because it does actually answer the question, but it also contains a link to a website that shares the same name of the user who posted the answer, just with the first and last names in a different order.

I think it's a true positive on that one since it didn't even answer the question. Instead, they directed the user to a link to a website sharing an identical name to that of the user. Which is also bad.

Bye now.
