"In his research, he modeled the very planes of existence."
This Three-Dimensional Artificial Horizon uses engine exhaust to create a model of the ground below. Throttle up to turn it on! The lines line up with the North, South, East, West directions.
This is only an entry level model, I will most likely implement it into a cockpit HUD.

nice!
Interesting
@AaltonenIndustries They are scaled to be very thin in two dimensions, while it is normal length in one direction. I do not remember how, exactly, i scaled it. I recommend that you use the overload mod to look at the setttings that I used to mod the engines.
@spefyjerbf
keep its orientation if it was scaled weirdly.yes, it does seem that the exhaustscale affects global scale... it's a weird bug that I have pointed out before. Looks like you put it to good use!
@spefyjerbf Sadly
@spefyjerbf No problem! Very nice build!
@EliteIndustries1 Sure! Just try to mention me in the desc.
Yes, all of the messages are the same, remember that three tags is the max on one comment....
@destroyerP @SimpleEric Thanks! I have also implemented it into a cockpit, which can be found on the successors list.
@AudioDud3 @Sarpanitu @MAHADI Thanks! I have also implemented it into a cockpit, which can be found on the successors list.
@BaconAircraft @EliteIndustries1 @Baldeagle086 Thanks! I have also implemented it into a cockpit, which can be found on the successors list.
@Supercraft888 @aircraftarsenal123 @saturn28 Thanks once again! I have implemented it into a cockpit, which can be found on the successors list.
@JustPancake Your design is also quite compact, which is a problem with my design.
@JetFly The engines have been XML modded to provide almost no thrust.
@JustPancake Yours is quite nice! I have not seen it before. I like how it uses a more 2d version of representing the horizon. My only critique is that the exhaust is difficult to see for some reason. My suggestion for fixing that would be taking a bunch of identical engines and nudging them into the single engine that you are using.
Ohhh,it's even providing thrust xD
@jamesPLANESii check my posts
You're not the first https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1g036n/JPs-Simple-gyro-horizon
Cool!
So simple!
oh my, It's so simple that even I can try, REALLY GOOD JOB, it's AWESOME...
Awesome!
Why has no body done this yet? It's so simple!
@Baldeagle086 The idea came to me when I looked at the oddly scaled exhaust of the engines of this battleship. I realized that the exhaust would keep its orientation if it was scaled weirdly.
How do u come up with this stuff
