Question about air brakes

47.5k WisconsinStatePolice  1.5 years ago

So, I want an air brake to extend with Activation group 1. I’ve set the input in xml to Activate1. When Ag1 is activated it moves instantly to the extended position. I want it to extend slower.

Is there an xml thing/is it possible to make the air brake gizmo deploy slower instead of instantly matching the input?

    I don't know what system you use to extend your air brake, but if you use a piston or a rotator block, both have 'speed' settings in XML and I believe also in the regular settings tab. I have used speed settings in addition to activation groups for many of my 'gizmos' that are propelled by pistons or rotators such as sliding canopies or folding wings. I don't want to fish for downloads, but I can invite you to look at my latest seaplane and see how I did the folding wings or landing gear

    @ToeTips not sure
    If it makes life it mean it's reacting to air drag
    You just have to balance it

    Quick question, what exactly is 'clamp'?

    Or does the structural wing work in this regard? Cause that does produce lift

    Custom wing+rotor hinge would work great
    Just balance them on both side if you don't want them to produce any lift

    Yeah it is possible, just use wings and rotators instead of the premade air break
