Petition for getting an indicator for Center Of Drag(CoD)

1,542 DeepFriedIndustries  4.0 years ago

Ok, so i was building a plane, and for some reason the plane had asymetric drag, which i couldn't find where the problem was. Also at takeoff, the plane kept leaning to the left, and I didn't understand how to fix it, though the weight was perfectly centered. Why? @AndrewGarrison

    This would be a nice feature. Though, since most drag in SP is caused by wings, you can assume that your CoD is near your CoL

    @TirpitzWantsPlanes I got that, but that isn't the problem sadly. It just randomly goes left :/

    That would unfortunately be game breaking for many builds most likely @Wallaby

    That would take way too much time and probably end up slowing the game down @Wallaby

    A fix to the drag calculations is also needed
