@11qazxc
hi guys, I'm happy to be here sharing with you
Oh@11qazxc
@11qazxc I mean it looks different, it looks more like a missile than a plane.
Don't worry, I cracked it open to make sure if at least could be defined as an aircraft, and I see how you made it.
@SPMTB challenge objective is to destroy planes.
In games humans usually destroys planes with missiles. (IRL less than ten planes destroyed with missiles in XXI century)
But it must be able to fly some frames after enemy destroyed, so instead of frag i mounted a gun on it.
What's wrong?
I tested it on S-381T (iirc it's was most maneuverable plane in the challenge) and AMI TF-33M1A (because of it's missiles), and it won, but fight with Nightfury Inferno v2 was long and didn't finished in ten minutes.
So, probably, it's good enough.
@11qazxc its...different...but it looks and works really good!
@SPMTB can it participate, or do i need to change something?
@Bonelesspizza
I know it.
I set deflection angle to 25 deegres because AI oversteers even with this small angle, and if you have big control surface with small deflection angle you will need less energy to turn.
About wing loading, at some point it's lift was too big and it just started flying at 4Mm/h without any possibility of control. This is the reason why it's speed limited to 1300 km/h
Tip: give it the lowest possible wing loading. It will make your aircraft very maneuverable. Also another tip: go into the xml mod while having the desired wing, select “control surface”, find “maxDeflectionDegree” and put it to a higher number. But don’t put it too high, or your plane will lose control when you pull up too fast. Enlarging the control surface is a good way, too.
