Drone Launcher Experiment
Mod BaconAircraft
8.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's Aircraft Catapult
A quick drone launcher that I started in English class earlier today. Didn't quite get it to work as I hoped, however, it still works.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Throttle to full,
VTOL down,
wait for the spring to load,
press 1,
then immediately press 2 right after to launch the craft before the end of the ramp.
NOTE:
The drone isn't the best flyer. Be careful with it as it cannot do tricks.
INFO:
The drone was modeled after the RQ-7

@BaconAircraft Can I use this system in my own aircraft?
@CamoKilla223 I will
Its just th basic idea dont expect to much, but im shure that if we can make it on a bigger scale it will be awesom! @BaconAircraft
Yeah go ahead. I'm quite busy today so don't expect much. @Luuk2909
I can tag u in the thing i made, the airplane i tried it on is not the best but it works, do u want me to tag u? @BaconAircraft
I tried it with my old F-14 took the wheels away, and added tons of weight, made it work with a detacher like this here and it worked fine! But i will give it a go but i dont know how u made this work @BaconAircraft
The issue with a reusable/multi aircraft catapult is that the game doesn't like high speed part collision very well. If a detacher is not put into place, it either glitches through or explodes. However, I sure can help you try to get the spring if you need any xml help. :) @Luuk2909
What do u think of making an catapult, so people make this a sub assembly comnect it to the front or bottom of the aircraft and shoot it away, btw I tried it with this, it worked decent enough but didnt look cool @BaconAircraft
Your planes are amazing hey maybe we could work on something together one day???(hopes says yes)
@BaconAircraft, Bacon Airways should be an airline, and its logo is your profile photo. Wow, I'm just imagining how magnificent that would look, just gliding in for touchdown!
@BaconAircraft Make an ApplePen and a PineapplePen!
Great job!
@BaconAircraft just send help
How would you like me to answer your question? @Dstroyer101
Instructions unclear: Lost in coal mine in Tennessee
Happy 100K!
