Need help with build

465 AkhosErebus  one month ago

cant seem to get the wing movement on my aircraft to work correctly, and have no idea how to fix it, it uses control bases but i cant get them to stop flopping around

    @AkhosErebus you didn't had to. But, appreciate the extra effort you took.
    By the way, I know it's a sweep wing and the problem you are facing is oscillation.

    @overlord5453 figured it would be easier to add something outside the plane to show what the wings are supposed to do instead of having to try and look inside it

    @overlord5453 the thing on top is just meant to show the movement, but yeah i may have said rotators by mistake

    @AkhosErebus by the way, those are hinges on the top. Haven't looked at it yet.

    @AkhosErebus wait, is it a control base or a rotator? Either way, tag me on the unlisted post. I will look into it once I am free.

    @overlord5453 tried that, as well as increasing the mass of the rotators/control bases, and adding damperMultiplier

    @AkhosErebus ohh. Anyway, it has probably something to do with mass scale. Try setting mass scale of the wings to zero.

    @overlord5453 i mean like a more complicated variable sweep, but its basically acting like its not connected. the movement works when the aircraft is on the ground butnit cant support itself in flight. will include a seperate demonstrator to show what the end goal is ofc since its hard to see inside the aircraft

    @AkhosErebus ahh, so a canard or the elevator. Anyway, by flopping around do you mean it keeps moving around like it's disconnected or just moving without an input?

    @overlord5453 not a control surface, literally the entire wing lol

    I have yet to use control base for control surfaces.
