No I'm joking. I really am annoyed by how this spaceship of mine flies... I'm building the macross and despite my best efforts to make it fly forward, which it used to do. But for some reason when I added a couple weights it didnt anymore, it goes forward but turns left and right at high speeds it dolphins. I need someone who can tell me whats wrong with it or possibly look at it and fix it..
It's not done yet but I just really need it to fly at least 500 kph...
Pls Help
Use the XML mod
@JKudasai XD
@F104Deathtrap sure! It might take a couple months though
@JKudasai I know it's not a perfect fix but it should work, good luck and gimme a link if you post it, ok?
@F104Deathtrap oh.. thanks!
@JKudasai There could be gyro settings that will help, I dont have much experience with them. I know for certain that if you build a set of large horizontal and vertical fins, scale them down using XML, and hide them in the tail as far back as possible, your ship will be totally stable at high speed. Remember to use structural wings for the fins if you intend to break the speed of sound.
@F104Deathtrap yeah. But the thing weighs a lot. So i modded the gyro till its stable enough and centered the mass around that area. But when I apply thrust... it just goes to the left or right and it dolphins if goes past 200 kph
@JKudasai I understand, but center of mass affects everything. Cars, boats, planes, if the center of mass isn't far enough forward you're gonna have instability. The main problem here is you need the VTOL thrusters centered around the mass but you need the mass forward, so you have to be careful. Hiding some fins in the back will also help with high speed stability, but they're not necessary if you're very careful. Are you using a gyro?
@F104Deathtrap thats center of mass... and its already at the center. I didnt put any wings on it and macross is a vtol type ship...
@JKudasai The red ball
@F104Deathtrap center of gravity?
Your center of gravity isn't forward enough.
