Otto Lilienthal's Glider
Otto Lilienthal's Glider
In five years between 1891 and 1896 Otto constructed seven gliders (five monoplanes and two biplanes) and made over 2000 ever-improving flights from hill sites at Stieglitz and in the Rhinow Mountains near Stöllen. He flew distances up to 400 m (1312 ft) and reached heights of 25 m (82 ft).
Controls
Throttle - Running
Yaw - Turning (This only works on the ground because of a self deativating gyro)
Pitch - Legs Forward/Backwards
Roll - Legs Left/Right
Flight model
The Lilienthal's Glider was controled by shifting the center of mass by moving your legs my replica is controled in the same way this coases some problems tho for example above the speed of 190 Km/h(118 Mp/h) you cant pich down. The Roll is also quite slow you can pich up while truning to increse the G-forces witch increses the Roll speed
Taking off
- Where to take off :
in game i found 2 locatcions close enough to cliffs steep enough to take off the Blue Galicial Park and the Rattlesnake Racetrack - How to take off :
1-Run off a clif
2-Pitch down to gain speed (Moving the legs forward also shifts the center of mass forward makeing you more stable at low speeds)
3-Pitch up to gain altitude
If your having trouble taking off setting up a light headwind might help

Not too good, gust of wind made me crash and break my back, 2/10.
-Otto Lilienthal
I can't wait to crash and die
Nice 9/10
I just realized something
how the hell do Otto runs at 50kph
@Rjenteissussy thx for the suggestion i might do it looks fun to control in VR and there's a lot of sketches i can use as blueprints wich was a problem with the Otto Lilienthal's Glider
cool maybe you can build Leonardo da Vinci's glider too :)) as if u want
If only he had an engine...
F for Lilienthal.
So cool
wow moving the man"Otto" is soo fun!
Step 4: crash and die
Amazing just beautiful ...
@handitover ...
