Human catapult but better

1,607 mrxml  7 months ago
Auto Credit Based on oldmate52's Human catapult

It is way better. Just move VTOL lever control down.
Adjust delay on detacher to change trajectory. Longer delay, more lateral speed. Shorter delay, more vertical speed.

    the perfect delay for the most lateral launch is 0.46 seconds, which can be good at launching airplanes, because it fires at around 1100kts. 0.4 seconds is the perfect delay for the farthest launch, which can be good for launching bombs at a distant target. And 0.7 seconds is the perfect delay for a brutal ground slam, which can be good for stress testing indestructible crafts.

    @mrxml @Graingy I was just lazy and pit a heap of blocks on a row

    @Graingy u can tell @oldmate52. Like I said, he came up with the original design, and I put it on steroids.

    @mrxml And one part of making things better can be replacing the core structure.
    idk just suggesting

    @Graingy don’t blame me. I stole this from @oldmate52 and made it better. he came up with the original structure.

    Not literally entirely, but I suggest you learn the very basics of fuselage.
    This could be made with probably a tenth the parts and a fraction the performance cost.
    Even less if you use Overload.

    I put the whole catapult as a subassembly and launched my glider with it. It is surprisingly effective besides the fact that my glider is very slow, so it has high drag.

    @oldmate52 also the key is set the detacher delay to 0.4 seconds, force to 100%, and start it and move VTOL lever down to the bottom of the screen as fast as you can. It will fire very far.
