Master builder questions

1,137 45678  3.5 years ago

I would like to git gud.

Questions for people who know how to do this sort of thing:

How do I make parts glow? Is it just beacons or is it special paint?

Custom control surfaces: how?

Working flaps: general guidelines

How do I make a stable boat?

Yes, I know some of these are rookie questions.

    • The glowing parts are glass blocks with their transparency set to -100 or -10,000%
    • thingymajigas on the end of rotators
    • Same thing
    • Give it a low centre of mass and give it buoyancy on both sides

    Good job boys, you’ve successfully helped this bronze user. This is an important step in improving SimplePlanes.

    Set glass transparency to a negative value to make it “glow”.
    Look at EternalDarkness’ profile for a link to a custom control surface tutorial.
    For flaps put little wings on rotators with 5-10 degrees of movement in the nose of the plane.
    For boats use 4 small fuselage blocks with their mass scales set to 2 or 3 and maximum buoyancy.
