Scaling up whole aircraft

25.5k lemoose  1.9 years ago

I'm remaking and improving a lot of my planes and want to scale them up. Using the "fine tuner" mod I can scale up entire aircraft using the "scale" .xml parameter but this doesn't work well- particularly for wings since it seems like SP calculates wing lift based off the root/edge and leading/tip geometry parameters, result in poor lift as well as other fuselage/wing calculations being off (fuel, weight etc).

I couldn't find a mod that can scale while keeping all the other size calculations in check, so I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this problem (i cant be the only one?)? I imagine it could be possible to write some type of script or something that update the .xmls?

    @AlbertanPlaneMaker see, thats not it because using the scaling tool in fine tuner, just the scale attribute gets manipulated but the leading/trailing root and leading/trailing tip wing parameters stay the same

    @TheCommentaryGuy Talking the "fine tuner" scaling tool or is there one built into the game?

    @TheCommentaryGuy lol I'm glad someone missed me. I have the whole lemoose fleet updated but I really want to bring it all to the right scale before sharing with everyone
