How about a flying car challange? But when it’s a car, it must look like one@mikoyanster
@Griffinthedragon Yes, i accept suggestions...
@mikoyanster will u be doing another Challenge soon
TY for posting the results so quickly and for the fair and thorough review. Your challenges are top notch and I really enjoy them.
@mikoyanster
Congrats on 1st place!
@Phenex
Thanks for the challenge. Congrats to everyone.
@Phenex @poopatron71 @Texasfam04 Congrats! you are the winner of the challenge!!!
Fourth place, I'm super happy with that :D Thank you for doing this challenge!
I saw u had a lot of difficulty flying mine
I should have considered u using the mouse controls instead of keyboard whitch I designed it for
I had yaw bound to roll to make it easy to turn on keyboard
So the controls where way to sesitive to use for the mouse
Also I forgot to use ur missles whitch honestly didn't help at all
I am working on redoing the heli agian and while it obviously won't be in the challange I'll list the improvements
Controls reworked for mouse control
Compleetly redone tail section
Less atrocious cockpit
Details
No more jet boost whitch u didn't use sadly
Control option to fire only a couple of missles instead of all of them
Less guns and rockets
More missles
Trying to implement a gun that follows ur mouse
I can tag u when it's done if u like
@mikoyanster I fly and design freestyle/race quadcopters that can change direction at 10+ G-forces easily. The problem I have with simpleplanes is that the gyro can't control separate engines; it only operates through gyroscopic effect at limited angles. I'm trying to simulate rate/acro/manual mode where the flight computer will leave the craft facing wherever you point it and simply remove vibrations and unwanted spins. Any tips?
@LiamW your copter its very nice, i like It, but maneuvering It is difficult... Remember me a DJI combat drone 😉
Lol I did terribly. It was probably my best looking and worst flying creation. Anyone have tips on how to make helicopters/multirotors fly properly in simpleplanes? I design and fly quads in real life but can’t get them to work in simpleplanes
@Texasfam04 thank you! I was genuinely surprised she did so well despite to her bulk. I still don't think I'll be making another helicopter after her though lol
your heli did well bud it was pretty cool watching a pro use it.
@LegnaK
TY very much for posting the video, that was really neat to see all the entries go through their paces.
