P-51-D autopilot (Funky Trees)

3,045 Fujisan  2.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's P-51-D

One of my many experiments regarding Funky Trees and autopilots. This operates off 'reverse stabilizer' algorithims, where a code normally inputted for a gun stabilizer is instead inverted for stabilizing the plane itself. This method has the advantage of the autopilot reducing the input the more stable the plane is, making it much smoother.

    @SimpleAreospace I just noticed that the ram air opens in the rear automatically just like the real thing. What an awesome touch. Also "Dumb question" what is an "ag" and how do I toggle it ? Lol sorry....

    The control and autopilot are on two diffrent control surfaces, in effect when you pitch up it thinks you're going up and tries to consempate, and the primary pitch surfaces cannot overpower the autopilot surface, and it ends up being like 'fighting the plane' when you pitch up. There is a solution tho, set the autopilot to be toggled by an AG. Haven't figured out the FT for that though:(

    Pretty cool. But it flies like there a gyroscope inside it but I can't find it. It is definitely a beautiful build.
