How to simulate friction for aircraft carriers?

1,552 OrangeConnor2  4 months ago

Wheels seem to have collision on fuselage, but they are totally frictionless, as far as I can tell.. This is great for taking off, but horrible for landing. Short of covering an aircraft in a comical number of airbrakes like some sort of German Corsair, is there any way to simulate wheel brakes?

    @StockPlanesRemastered I’m talking about Fuselage. What works on Tiny is irrelevant, no?

    @OrangeConnor2 actually it works on the uss tiny

    @StockPlanesRemastered I considered that, but I'm a bit concerned by the prospect of working with pistons and rotators to get something like that functioning. It might be the only way, though...

    @Tiper4062 There is no such thing. The arrester gear only works on the USS Beast and the USS Beast alone, I've never heard anything to the contrary.

    @Tiper4062 I've trued it. Doesn't work

    I wonder if a bunch of hemispheres would work? They're the only non wheel part I know of that have built in friction physics

    On the USS Beast there is a rope that can reduce the speed of the plane drastically, there must be an arresting hook on the plane, if I'm not mistaken there is a rope on the gear called a winch or something I forgot.

    @OrangeConnor2 I will release my Tauró balena class carrier that I can land some planes to see what you can do
