I have been working on a battleship recently and after many hours of work I finally finished the hull and most of the upper parts like the bridge etc. I was about to start working on the cannons but I encountered a problem that I've never seen before:
I placed a rotator which would be the base of the whole turret (it would rotate it horizontally) and I put a fuselage block on it, then Iwent into the game test if it works, tho I made something similar before, on my U-131 submarine, the turret at the back works the same way, but unlike at the U-131 which works perfectly, here, the rotator was very floppy, when I rotated it, it rotated way more and then went back then the other way again etc. it was like tramboline, it never stopped, the other problem with this is that it rotated the whole ship as well (to the opposite direction) it's very strange, as I mentioned, with the U-131, nothing like this happens, but with this ship, I tried out all kinds of rotators at every place on the ship with the same results.
some info you may want to know:
Ship is right now made up from 281 parts (mostly fuselage blocks)
it weights 2,949,352 lbs (292,846 gal fuel)
it has 3 engines (simple prop engines with 3 blades, the blades are modified with xml editing to make the blades thicker)
2 vertical stabilizers
4 gyroscopes to rotate the ship (the same ones with the same settings are used on the U-131 as well)
that's all, I hope someone can help
I made a ship and the problem was in the horizontal rotator section. I wanted to make the cannon still face backwards but could rotate to face the enemy.Does anyone know how to solve it?
I'm have the same problem with a heavy cruiser (and the rudders of a cargo ship) I'm building
@Patton2 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/9U5tmn/U-131-U-Boot if you underwater and activate the rotator it still works, do you want me to send the half done warship as well? maybe you can fix it
@Patton2 oh they do work underwater, check out my U-131 or my other submarines, but this isn't the problem here, the problem is that the rotators are wobbly on the ship (ABOVE the water)
I've seen this happen, but I never could figure out how. The last time I came across it was on someone else's plane, he had some relatively small turrets and they were real wobbly.
@Patton2 has some experience in building ships.
