EDIT: I've fixed the elevator problem, but I want to see if it's just me, or can the aircraft actually land on the carrier. Someone please take a look. Just use the same link below
Hello SimplePlanes community.
I have made a forum post about this aircraft before, but now I'm having another problem.
For some unknown reason, the elevators have stopped working. So if I try and pitch up, for example, the aircraft will just keep pitching down on its own accord.
If someone could either fix this issue (and reupload the aircraft as unlisted) or tell me how to fix it, that would be great.
Here is the AIRCRAFT. Go do all the testing you desire
@ND40X no problem!
@Mustang51
ok, I will look into it, thanks :3
@ND40X look inside my MiG-21Y for the tiny wing inside. If you can’t find it, look for the tiny wing stabilisers on my B-20C bomber. Those produce a lot of lift for their size. If it’s too hard to find, I’ll make an unlisted post with some xml parts for you :)
@Mustang51
ok, not sure how the xml scaling works though
I hope that helps! If you have any more questions at all, just let me know :)
@ND40X so 150 is probably below its stall speed to the point where they are effectively useless but it worked for me well until 145 or so just now. To fix the take off speed though, you should add more lift. Do that by adding the xml scaled wings in your aircraft.
@Mustang51
ok, it's getting stupid now.
The elevators won't work seemingly under 150 mph while in the air (i think). It also won't take off from a runway unless it's nearly at 300 mph. Any suggestions?
(I can reupload the aircraft if you want)
@Mustang51
huh.
I also need to sort out a way for my aircraft to be able to use the USS Beast catapult
@ND40X on some builds which work great for everyone else, the planes will just explode when I turn or retract the landing gear lol
@Mustang51
Yeah, just seeing if it was just me or not
I don’t have the issue you seem to have. I do have this specific problem on occasion but I just reattach a scaled down wing. Glad it’s fixed though! Also I had quite a few landings where the prop was destroyed because the landing was a little rough (on the aircraft carrier most landings are rough). You might wanna take a look at that!
@ND40X sure thing. I’m on my way home now so I will take a look once I’m there
@Mustang51 @Noname918181
I took Noname918181's advice and managed to fix the elevator problem, I think...
But I want someone to do another test.
Just to see if it's just me or not, try and land on the aircraft carrier or a runway. Maintain 145 knots minimum
Had this problem but I was using control surfaces
Maybe just reattach a wing on your elevator surface
@Mustang51
yeah....
@ND40X i know that feeling exactly. I had that constantly with the flying wing bomber I have. It was very difficult to make it fly at all decently.
@Mustang51
Thanks
(That feeling when something you are working hard on just decides to not work properly)
@ND40X okay I’ll take a look at it in a little while.
