I actually got the back to not be out of control
@SpiritusRaptor
We should be able to resolve the suspension issues, however the hinges are the first problem.
@FlyingNarwhal Ok.. so a fundamental issue is the use of hinges on joints which will incur stress and it appears you have used the extensively... I have tried before many times to try and strengthen hinges but its not so good. Better to change to the use of a small joint rotator. Further, using 2 hinges joined together will make the part flex - good if that's what you want.
@FlyingNarwhal I can only see this one
or just look at my posts
@SpiritusRaptor look at the successor its farther along but its super flimsy and has most of the same problems still
Thanks so much yea I’ve been working on it for quite awhile btw the front middle shock isn’t actually connected @SpiritusRaptor
I mostly need help with the in flight stability
Hi, I just saw this. i will look at it tomorrow... it siunds like an interestjng build!!!!
@FlyingNarwhal
@SpiritusRaptor hey I hate to bother you but I'd like to make this thing work flawlessly and you just seemed to be the expert in flawless so I was wondering if you could help me out with it? Its a transformer that will go from a sports car to a fighter jet which will both be ascetically pleasing and not a car with wings. So anyway here are the issues... first and foremost the front suspension cannot handle the jet's acceleration and speed and they shocks break off. Second I want the car to not roll over like it does so maybe modding the shocks? idk but the shocks don't do well with the weight. Lastly I was just wondering if you could turn collisions off on the engines. Thanks so much for considering and when I finish it Ill gladly give you credit!
