Second post in a while by me, this is a wishlist for what I'd like to see in SP2 in the future.
This is only just a suggestion for future updates
Tracks:
Very self explanatory, track part that you can scale in size and change the design of certain parts. Along with suspension types with different and unique characteristics.
NOTE: needs a car engine or turbine to function (ex, Track selected to said engine types.)
MSL customization:
Make specific missiles other than stock missiles, separate part than stock and stats are to 9 WINDER B (AIM-9B) equivalent for A2A and AGM-65B for A2G.
Here are my potential stats listed for each type:
[A2A]
-Diameter (0.25m-1.5m)
-Caged Seeker [Y/N]
-Seeker Type (IR, IR Imaging, SARH, ARH)
-Proximity Fuze [Y/N]
-Seeker Gimble Unit (0-90 Degrees)
-All Aspect [Y/N]
-IRCCM (Gatewidth, Track Suspense, Hybrid)
-Motor Burn Time (5-60 seconds)
-Motor Type (Solid Rocket, Ramjet, Liquid Rocket)
-Thrust Vectoring [Y/N]
-launch Delay (0.1-1 second)
-Foward Fin type (Standard, Double Delta, Swept, Notched)
-Foward Fin Double Canard [Y/N
-Aft Fin Type (Standard, Rolleron, Grated, Lengthened, Short, Phoenix*)
*Phoenix for AFT Fins will bring Foward Fins to the rear
NOTE: weight and performance is all calculated according to whatever you have selected.
[A2G]
-Diameter (0.25m-2m)
-Body Type (Standard, Oblong, Oblong Wing)
-Seeker/Guidance Type (Laser, IR, OG/TV) can select multiple
-Warhead Mass (50kg-1000kg)
-Warhead Type (Impact, Airburst, Cluster)
-Motor Enabled [Y/N]
-Motor Burn Time (10-120 seconds)
-Fin Type (Standard, Long, Canarded)
Fly-by-Wire:
Simplified coding for FBW for control surfaces that can:
Limit G overload, AoA and Slip
This can help with making unstable airframes fly smoothly without extensive FT coding, plus the ability to create true Flying Wings.
NOTE: FBW would be a dedicated part for simplification
Mouse guiding/aiming for aircraft:
Instead of a mod for flying with a mouse similar to WT, it is a option along with the Keyboard and Controller control setup, along with sensitivity of aiming.
This is all I have for tonight, it is 0219 as of making this and I'm eepyish until my shift in a few hours.
Dogglittle out!
@TylerWildDog true
@IceCraftGaming it could work, but it'll be one heck of a complex setup for new players
Now that I think about it, a separate modular missile designer would be pretty cool
