Is there a way to find the coordinates for the CoM, CoL, and CoT

3,104 lilsniper334  4.0 years ago

Hi, this is my first forum post, and I need to ask a question.

I am building a jet that is very complex and I need some help. It tends to veer to the right while taking off from a runway, but doesn’t while using VTOL. It’s quite bizarre and I was wondering if there is a way to get the X,Y,Z coordinates for the CoM, as I need to make the X=0. If this is not possible, please give a way to center the CoM at or very close to 0. I am on iOS if that helps and just mirroring the plane is not an option, I made both sides from scratch and cannot lose it. I can make an unlisted post of it if that helps.

    @lilsniper334 well there’s your problem, I think Yeager has a problem, try it on different runways and see if it flies straighter, I have problems on Yeager too.

    @lilsniper333 I use Yeager airport, but I don’t think there’s a difference

    What runway do you use?

    @lilsniper334 Sometimes the gear can be "soft" and not center properly after a turn. Or it can sit wrong and lean on the nose instead of the main wheels. Try turning the traction down all the way on all wheels and see if you still have a problem.

    @F104Deathtrap the landing gear is neither turnable or off center...I wonder if it’s just some bug.

    @lilsniper334 I do not think its weight or the plane would fly wrong.

    @F104Deathtrap I checked the landing gear, it’s on 0, I know the problem but I can’t fix, it’s my cockpit. I added multiple things that I can’t change now without tearing the thing apart. Just wanted to know if there is a different way to fix this problem other than adding dead weight.

    @lilsniper334 If it flies straight then it's probably the landing gear.

    @F104Deathtrap It’s flies extremely fast, around 2000mph, and I made it in a way that it can fly at 300 properly, if I let go of all controls and fly straight, it’s completely level. It’s weird. I’ll look in info.

    Go to the info tab and look around, there should be a button for displaying them. I have two questions: does it fly properly at 300mph? If you are flying straight and level at full throttle and let go of the controls, what does the plane do?
