I've been gone for like 4 months lol. So what's new?
I've been busy with college apps and job applications, plus my teachers feel it's necessary to make all my work insanely hard since we are online.

thank you so much. @spefyjerbf
Yeah, PID controllers are weird. As for your code, this should work:
(Activate2 & VTOL = -1) ? 1 : 0
This code should be entered into your input for your engine. If this doesn't work, then I can give you another variant of the code. Sometimes FT doesn't like it when I streamline code.
Also I did some fiddling around and I think I kind of figured out the hovering code it takes a while to go up or down, and it bobs up and down, still have no clue on the activation code though @spefyjerbf
In order for the engine to activate, I want it to be ag2 and vtol all the way down to turn on
@spefyjerbf
The code for the engine shouldn't be affected by the weight of the aircraft. If it is, you can adjust the powermultiplier accordingly. Looks like you deleted the comment that I needed to make the code though, what conditions were there for this engine to activate again? Some combination of trim and an activation group?
.
As for that code, I'm not too familiar with PID controllers, so I wont be very useful deciphering it. I think that the VTOL bar changes the sign (negative or positive) of the correcting action made from the thruster, or makes the correcting action evaluate to zero. Not sure if that is exactly what is going on though.
Also the thing I’m trying to do this for is about 230,000 lbs idk if that affect the code at all. @spefyjerbf
100%. And also another question, could you explain this code to me, I found it on a thruster that changes altitude or stays level based on the trim.
PID(Vtol, rate(AltitudeAgl), 1, 0.25, 0.5)
It was in the input row
@spefyjerbf
sure! Does the engine go to 100% throttle when we meet these conditions? Or should it still be throttlable by the user?
@BagelPlane
The drama got worse when i hit plat
I have some pretty heavy school stuff at the moment, so I wont be able to actually play SP. I can give some advice and code though!
Btw do you think you could get something to fly for me? I built the whole thing without realizing to turn mass and drag off@spefyjerbf
The community works in mysterious ways lmao
@spefyjerbf good to hear it still hard to believe it’s been dragged out for 4 months thought that woulda been done by now
As usual a part of the community relieves their boredom by squabbling in the forums, which I can see in the comments. As for everyone else, we’re kinda vibin. Good to see a post from you!
@Rajko im scared to ask for context
@Baldeagle086 Grab your rifle we are going to vietnam there's no time!
@Belugasub I have no idea
woof
@tsampoy how long are you going to continue that lol
Plus drama going along with KnightOfRen getting platinum and stuff. it's a long story
This thing
The Front Page has never looked better. A combination of talented builders, recent game updates and potent new visual mods has resulted in a steady flow of excellent creations.
The Forums are the exact opposite. I have never on this website seen so much trolling, whining and utter cringe. I feel really bad for new players looking for help or inspiration.
@BagelPlane Bruh you forgot all the drama I started
A lot of drama. You're going to want to ease into this
@Strucker indeed true.
