I need help on foot pedals

1,111 IsaacBB2012  6 days ago

I’m going to attempt to make a VR plane, but I need help figuring out how to make foot pedals and a nice cockpit. Learning how to post custom screenshots might help to. (Type ideas, answers, and idk comments lol)

    Just to everyone who sees this post, I can’t post the 1k special until tomorrow because supposedly I have “posted to much for today” but who cares I’ll still be able to post it

    @IsaacBB2012 I don't recommend doing the twist thing, the left controller joystick controls it anyways. And (from my experience atleast) it makes it easier to accidentally yaw the plane.

    Making pedals are easy. DrakonDynamics already pointed out how to. But you can't interact with them. Atleast not in a way that it would make sense (or be useful). For yawing in VR the most common and best method is by twisting the joystick. Atleast it makes some sense and is easier to use mid flight.
    Yaw is pretty much useless anyway (on planes). They just don't work the way it's supposed to. It can be fixed with FT though.

    Lots to answer there… worth a shot.

    The way I make foot pedals (which I haven’t done in a while…) is to try and place two hinge rotators where the feet would logically sit. It’s always a pain in the ass, so I tend to nudge them into place. Then I set them to yaw with one side being inverted, so that they control the rudders. Then I just slap a thin block on top to act as the actual pedal. As for the cockpit, well that ones more complex. Analog cockpits are really just dials and levels and buttons and such, so they aren’t that difficult. If you go digital, that’s where it gets tricky since you’ll need to use a lot more labels, lights, maybe even some parts as screens.

    Screenshots are the easiest thing you mentioned, tbh. All you have to do is take your screenshot, post them on a hosting site (I use Imgbb, for example, cause it’s free), get the link to the image, and then put them in your description in this format:

    As for thumbnails, I use designer suite and just upload my image and use the built-in screenshot setting.
