Strange aerodynamics bug I found

77.9k Cedy117  8.8 years ago

I was working on my plane when I went to flight test it I noticed it was pulling hard to the right so I checked the drag and one side of the plane had minimal drag and the other side had severe drag so i thought well why don't I just mirror it so I did and nothing changed so I fiddled around with the parts for a bit but could not change the problem so then I thought Maybe I'll just save it as a sub and make it as a new plane so I did and it helped but the problem is still there has this happened to you? And if so is there any way to fix this because I put a lot of work in to that build I can provide you if it's really necessary

    Yeah I guess all the individual fuselage blocks seem to have different drag @bjac0

    I'm not very sure why it happens, i'm pretty sure its just a glitch with the physics engine the game uses.

    @Cedy117 sometimes it can be caused by something else on the plane, like something in the middle or something that has a good distance between itself and the problem.

    I did I found out it's just due to the small tail on the plane @AnarchistAerospaceIndustries

    Try un attaching and reattaching the pieces.

    @Cedy117 happened to me when I took my AN 124 out for a test flight

    No it's the fuselage pices there on the wings like my dhc beaver but the drag on the fuselage blocks is different on each side of the plane like the wings and the body @Alasar

    Happened to me too. I found some extra wings stacked into each other. My theory: The Wing placement on one side was buggy and everytime i mirrored it created another wing inside the one that was already there! Maybe something similar happened to you.
