Okay, so before I even start on the B-36 project, I need to get good at landing gears and learn the codes for delays
Do y'all have any tips?
^Here is an image of the gear^
The big hydraulic connected to the wheels goes towards the rear
The Oleo strut is the fluid suspension on the landing gear, the strut on the front is fixed in place
@LieutenantSOT Oh gosh, this is so mechanically complicated!!!
@F104Deathtrap thanks!!
Disable suspension on the wheels.
Multiply the mass of any rotators and anything directly connected to the rotators by 3.
I like to lower the traction on the wheels, too.
I'm gonna try and make it work though lmao
@CenturyAerospace yeahhh
@LieutenantSOT gonna be hard though with sp’s janky joint physics
@KnightOfRen yezz. The best advice
just put two "large retractable landing gear" pieces together and you have 4 wheels, ez af
@jamesPLANESii good point! Thanks!
.
I might start working on these gear. I want to get them as close to the real thing as plausible. The two joints, and the suspension system. I need it to line up with the bay though, so I can't start yet
Mentalise the mechanism and think about why some things are the way they are and if things have to be certain lengths and why,
@LieutenantSOT no problem!
@asteroidbook345 fair, fair
Yours does, never said it didn't. I think I understand how to do this now. Thanks
@Nerfaddict lmao
@LieutenantSOT yeah the real one did but mine works somewhat decently
"haha stock landing gear go brr"
Nerfaddict after "reading" this
@asteroidbook345 posted an image of the B-36's main gear (I'm not too worried about the nose gear lol)
@asteroidbook345 okay, cool! Thank you so much
.
I don't want to copy yours lol. Mine is gonna be completely paneled
But I like your system. The B-36 had a much different system though, so it'll be cool to learn from
Look at the gear on mine for a very basic system. It's not the greatest but you know it works
