Flying Fish

66.7k PPLLAANNEE  3.2 years ago

A flying fish based off of the one in real life. Controls pretty easily but likes to flip over. It only uses the tail to swim, no fuel, no engines, no gyroscopes, just 1 small rotator in the tail to make it go side to side, a floppy rotator at the end of the tail to allow it turn the side to side motion into forwards thrust. Max speed that I have gotten is 140 mph. This took a LONG time to make and I eventually gave up and got the speed I wanted by removing drag from the body lol.

How to use

Start in the water. To take off throttle up, once you hit 100 mph you won't stay at that speed for very long so you need to react fast, enable AG1 and pitch up immediately and you will launch out of the water. Pitch and roll in the air to control. If you are face down when you land with the tail up in the air, gg u stuck. If you are upside down when you land , or have just flipped upside down, Throttle off and yaw side to side and you will self right. Yaw in the water to turn.

while uploading this, my bad attention span saw a hole on the top of the building at water takeoff and i thought "my life wont be complete if i can't make it through the hole" after 5 tries i did a jump that WOULD have gotten through the hole but i hit a literal invisble wall. the disappointment...

    @Bismarcksurvivor100 water quality is purely cosmetic, it only changes how the water looks. you need to change physics to high

    What water physics are we supposed to use and I’m not lagging @PPLLAANNEE

    @Bismarcksurvivor100 maybe you are using low physics or are lagging.

    @EmpNapoleonBonaparte this is going to sound very stupid but is it possible to catch them and throw them like paper airplanes?
