Dracul BVR ECM

My next variant of the Dracul focusing on beyong visual range engagements and defence, I’ve increased power and sharpened it’s teeth to give it more sting...

  1. Landing lights
  2. Nav lights and activates targeting pod
  3. Release ECM pods
  4. Dump rocket pods
  5. Launch cruise missile and activate gyro, description below
    VTOL operates flaps, slats and cowl flaps.
    ECM pods work in conjuntion with your counter measures.

Very powerful guided cruise missile instructions....

change to the camera on the missile, activate group 6, throttle up (activates missile engine and fold out wings) then fly it towards the country you wish to obliterate!!! Group 6 also activates the gyro on the airplane so you can easily guide the cruise missile to your target without the plane losing control, make sure to turn group 6 off when you re-gain control of the aircraft.

Hopefully that covers everything, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, and most importantly have fun!

    .
    So basically what I'm going with that rotator is to smoothen out the plane's pitching... instead of being all of a sudden, it calculates the average over a period of time, and will oppose it a bit. I actually think that it would make as a good trim system.
    .
    If you are going to test it, make sure to set the rotator limits to maybe, 5, 10, 15... I would test with those limit values.

    @R3df3rn
    lol am I really too hard on myself? (night vision is a well known technique to the community btw) My modelling skill is not the best so I use Funkytree as a selling point, my aircraft may not looks amazing but I'll make sure it fly amazing.
    Idk if you have build in mod like overload and finetuner, if you have it you can do Funkytree.
    Or you can directly edit Funkytree in xml file too but thats painful lol.
    About pitching down problem you can edit xml in the control surface, reduce min or max value depend on which way is pitch down.(like max=1 min=0.2)
    So it will have a lot less pitch down power and hopefully not enough to flip your plane.
    Good luck!!!

    Thanks for the tips @officialryanyang that’s a sneaky idea with the rotator, going to experiment with that one 👍

    .
    For a start...
    .
    One of the first props planes on the website that doesn't look generic or too ungeneric... good job on the plane.
    .
    Second, a good thing to stop builds from spinning either in the x or y direction is to either increase the speed of the plane, (so stabilizers can be more effective) increase the amount or surface area of stabilizers, (more stable in a basic way) or to add a speed boost when turning.
    .
    For the FT for that, it is the best to ask someone like Snow... Eh, I would just put a rotator on a rear control surface, (elevator) and make the input set to PitchRate, then invert the rotator. For yaw it would just be on the vertical stabilizer and to use YawRate, again with the rotator in the inverted mode.
    .
    The FT method is probably not super effective but for many of my planes it helps a bit.

    I’ve seen all of your builds, you’re too hard on yourself, I like your night vision idea... very clever! @GuyFolk

    @R3df3rn Well, I do not have funky trees, I do not have the latest update ether, but I use mods to help with problems like that (XML modding, Fine Tuner, on other... but mostly XML modding.) But if you have any problems, I can fix them for you, maybe...

    Absolutely!! Only because I know you will appreciate my builds 🤘one more thing... I know you guys have more experience than me at SP and have access to funky trees, and was wondering if you could help me solve a problem with this aircraft, when you pitch down too hard it has a tendency to go into a flat spin or tumble end for end... any ideas?@CreeperOfTheFortress

    @R3df3rn Also, feel free to tag me when you make new creations, you don't have to, but you can when you want.

    @R3df3rn Lucky me I have a PC (that can only handle 1,000 parts without noticeable lag and glitching.)

    If I had SP on the computer I would probably never leave the house and turn into a vampire and burst in to flames when a glint of sun hit me@GuyFolk

    No funky trees, but a big enough build to get a bit glitchy on the phone, the Tarantula hawk does kinda look like one of your builds doesn’t it, I promise you that I haven’t seen your build until today!! I downloaded it because it does look cool though 😎@CreeperOfTheFortress

    With Funky-tree this plane would be perfect!!!
    I'm sure Funky-tree can do what you intend it to do. (like stay leveling while you control the cruise missile)
    I have nothing to say about modelling because you are way better than me lol.

    Oh, I just realized that your the person who made the Tarantula Hawk Mk III, which is a great and unigue design. I do not know why, but it kind of reminds me of the Montiac Avenger, even thought that they are completely different.

    No this is a plane! the functions are wonderful, even though I didn't test it out, but just from reading the instructions, I know this is going to be a great aircraft.
    Say, does it use funky trees or variables from the new update (the update that adds glass,) if not, then I can use it.
