Auto Credit Based on Gestour's AI Boat Challenge (Closed)
My first watercraft, a hydrofoil ferry heavily based on this design by Glosten and Bieker Boats:
- Throttle to move forwards, Roll to steer, Brake for reverse
- Max speed of ~42 Knots and good turn rate
- foiling action starts somewhere around 21 knots
- Automatic stability control without gyros
- Handles up to medium sized waves very well

Can you please make me a custom Coast Guard logo for my plane?@edensk
@Brayden1981 good lord
shut up
@Brayden1981 I haven't played for a year and I doubt I'll do it anytime soon as I simply don't have the patience anymore
@Brayden1981 somewhat
das hot
I challenge you to make the beech craft baron b55 (full detai l) with glass
Oooooooo hydrafoil
@tsampoy because its edensk
How did this get 45 upvotes? (Sorry if it sounds offensive)
Does it have funky trees?
@edensk yeah I thought so too.
I checked and it’s not because you don’t have any collision response on your cockpit, that says default, so I am bemused
@DuneBoi interesting
Very impressive performance
I found that when I was at snowstone that the missiles couldn’t damage me at all, even though they hit and exploded
Cool unintentional gimmick I guess
Very cool how smooth it begins to lift out of the water and then how smoothly it lowers back into the water.
@X4JB HSC stands for high speed craft, I didn't make that up, and it doesn't sway because it's stabilized automatically by the foil's control surfaces, which I assume is a feature many real modern hydrofoils have, specially considering the very small dihedral angle on this one
It's a shame that the boat doesn't sway in turns. Knowing you it's probably realistic, but idk.

@MintLynx thanks! Funky trees can make wonderful things
A Hydrofoil Gorgeous in construction and perfect in operation. It remains so perfectly stable you could mistake it for having a powerful gyro inside, yet it doesn't!
Why do I have more points than you maybe because I spam post?
