Quick Question (Help) [Custom Landing Gear]

6,509 PattyMilk6  4.0 years ago

so I'm sure that all of yall have seen this when making custom landing gear.

it kinda just collapses.

I've given them more health, disabled collisions, all that stuff. the weight of the airplane is only 8k lbs. I've tried upping the strength on my suspension, yet nothing. does any1 know how to fix this?

    @KettleKip You have two options for flaps. Either put control surfaces with the input clamp(VTOL, -1, 0) or use little rotators with wings at the front. It should make the aircraft pitch up a bit.

    @AsteroidAsteroidTheBook
    Hey dude, so im making a plane but like how do i get the flaps to work? Atm im using the normal wings and xml modding for vtol, but do they need to be at the com or col?
    The reason is that they make my plane pitch up/down, and with other planes it dosent. Any solutions or is it kinda like that.

    @KettleKip Increase the mass of the wheels

    @AsteroidAsteroidTheBook ok so it somehow worked, except for the back ones, which the wheels collapse, but not anything else

    Increase the weight of the wheels if you're using default suspension. If you're using shocks increase their mass and add around 50 lbs of deadweight to the fuselage below the shock
