How to keep top heavy or any kind of vehicle from rolling over.

2,549 WhenGoatsFly  7.4 years ago

I recently experimented with adding weights to the top of the little bugger. i found it to be impossible to roll it with the new gyros. i set the gyroscopic stability as high as it would go, all the controls to full and set them to activation group 7 and never turned them on. this may seem like a waste of 22 pounds, but it made it impossible to make it roll or land wrong. This method also works to make any vehicle a stable gun platform for ground to ground combat or as an anti-aircraft weapon. i was also surprised seeing how much more rugged any vehicle is made especially when jumping. P.S. self leveling must be enabled for this to work.-Goats

    It is automatically set to AG 8, I should have included that.@spefyjerbf

    You have a good point, but dead weight tends to make some vehicles heavy, and puts a strain on the suspension. I have used shifted mass parts before and they do work great but not everybody has access to mods and on low end devices they can cause lag.@AstleyIndustries

    Its better to use dead weights or shifted mass parts. They perform consistently on all terrain, and is more realistic

    It could have flaws on hills, but if the gyro was configured to toggle on or off when needed, it would work well.

    i may release the little bugger gun platform that is impossible to roll as a concept. it has modded lasers I'm sure somebody could use.
