    clamp01(VTOL<0)
    I don't know will it work as activationGroup, but (in theory) it must work as BeaconLight input .

    @trios21 It's okay, go ahead.

  • old engine aerial dragster 3.6 years ago

    @trios21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears%E2%80%93Haack_body ,
    and some knowledge about SP wing physics.

  • Answer if you can. (Not off-topic) 3.6 years ago

    5 Inf, but AltitudeAgl said like 720 meters when i placed cockpit just under sea level.

  • [Love Live! Sunshine!] The Watanabe 3.6 years ago

    How did you tested max speed?
    Looks like 1/4 of wind speed is not so good for a yacht.

  • Winners of the Mega Dogfight Tournament! 3.6 years ago

    @Kangy
    Maybe, the point is not only g-force, but also time?
    1000G acceleration multiplied by 250ns time gives velocity of 2 with half millimeters per second, you can't even feel that, and it will be absorbed by meat.
    Technically, human may not die because of acceleration.

  • Regular Pyramid 3.6 years ago

    It's not regular, length of edges aren't same.
    horizontal edges are 5m length, but vertical ones are sqrt(5*5+2.5*2.5+2.5*2.5)=6.12372435696m

  • Winners of the Mega Dogfight Tournament! 3.6 years ago

    @LieutenantSOT
    1. Rules didn't said that it must be manned, but human can withstand 1000+G(in some directions, for some parts of second).
    2. Can real aircraft be a dragon with miniguns in wing edges? There's a few realistic aircrafts in this challenge, and almost all of them in upper part of post.
    3. My craft doesn't have missiles.
    4. Fair and square and realistic means we must have 4vs4 battle instead of 1vs1, long-range(50+km) radars and missiles and realistic physics where hidden panel in tube can't produce lift, and physics are the same for wings, panels, blocks, and fuselages.
    .
    Also, user TMach doesn't exist. Instead you can try to call TMach5.

  • Winners of the Mega Dogfight Tournament! 3.6 years ago

    @AntiAirNuri About xml wars:
    1. Nobody still built a plane that have good appearance and can turn with 200+G at 12 km(it's possible, really),
    2. I just don't have time to improve design of random 300+part concept airplane that i saw in dreams. This "penis" have only 37 drag points, it's shape is perfect for 2x speed of sound in SP universe, and very good for real life(with some minor modifications).
    3. This shape is used in most IRL SAM and ABM, and they don't have decorations. Why should i attach decorations to craft, that may die in two with half seconds?
    4. It's a dogfight challenge, not airshow.

  • Winners of the Mega Dogfight Tournament! 3.6 years ago

    fix brackets around photo of ShotgunGarbageFly, it doesn't displays correctly.

  • old engine aerial dragster 3.6 years ago

    @redcrafter idk then. Gears have drag and weight, but it still must be able to fly.

  • old engine aerial dragster 3.6 years ago

    @redcrafter If it's because of landing gears you can start in air.

  • Old Engine Challenge [CLOSED] 3.6 years ago

    No exploiting glitches old engines or any parts may have

    What is counted as "glitches"?
    How max GS will be measured?
    Max plane size limit?
    What if i edit in-game designer instead of editing xml?
    What if i edit designer's preferences instead of xml?
    What is Unweighted GS and Weighted GS in results table?

  • Bomber Challenge (Challenge Closed) 3.6 years ago

    @TrojanAircraftSystems i already have one from canceled stealth challenge, so i will try.

  • fe_mk.2 3.6 years ago

    @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.

  • Bomber Challenge (Challenge Closed) 3.6 years ago

    Is helicopters allowed?

    no space ships

    Did you mean any spaceships or with starwars-style physics only?

  • fe_mk.2 3.6 years ago

    @SPMTB can it participate, or do i need to change something?

  • fe_mk.2 3.6 years ago

    @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

  • Regular Icosahedron 3.7 years ago

    I agree with @AN2Felllla .
    Also, in general situation like paneling binary search a lot faster than triangulation and precise enough.
    Instead of calculating position of each triangle you can attach triangles to rods and then just rotate it around rods.
    UPD: for binary search you don't need any program opened other than SP(even a calculator), and no more than 60 clicks for maximum possible precision(iirc SP uses single pecision floating point format for part position).

  • [AI] XMQ-88 'Fireflies Master' 3.7 years ago

    Why do you need airplane?
    It's wings can't work effectively at angle of attack above 20, it's hull have a lot of drag, and it's propulsion system uses over 20% of its power just for turning.
    Did you tried to rotate main wing relative to angle of attack?
    Did you tried to move thrusters into center of mass?
    Maybe omniderictional propulsion, like on aurora starfury, but with airbrakes will be better for post-stall maneuvers?

  • How do i make hovering 3.7 years ago

    But if you don't need altitude above 1 meter and you don't need to hover above water, you can edit resizeable wheels xml size to very small value on y axis and big value on z axis.

  • Top Fuel Dragster winners announced 3.7 years ago

    How did you busted it to 9860 km/h?
    Which settings did you used during testing?

  • AI Boat Challenge (Closed) 3.7 years ago

    Can it be wind-powered?
    Can it have funky trees controllers?
    Can it be underwater?

  • aero-eye p15 RS-GTA 3.7 years ago

    Detacher itself points up, so it can't act like a thruster.
    But jet need some time to raise it's power, something like FT smooth function, and maybe it just doesn't have time to raise power during acceleration.

  • Unlimited Stealth 3.7 years ago

    If center of mass still in airplane, but cockpit 3600 meters above, it's moment of inertia will be crazy, also it will be hard to aim.
    But the idea is very good.

  • aero-eye p15 RS-GTA 3.7 years ago

    Also, according to info on this page it's maximum acceleration is under 3.6 m/s/s.
    So, you're using heavy detachers to stop it while jet accelerating to it's max power?
    Or did you used jet's power multiplier?

  • aero-eye p15 RS-GTA 3.7 years ago

    It looks strange that it have only 72 drag points without tail fairing.
    Did you edited dragScale or calculateDrag?

  • KEW testbench 3.7 years ago

    @EpicNyles27
    MaxAngularVelocity works only with engine, like clock generator for AC electric motor or gearbox top gear for ICE or turbine.
    If power is consumed from motion of craft it can rotate with speed of up to (180.0-0.0) deegres per physics frame without any troubles.
    As you can see, it doesn't have ICE at all, all power comes from jet, and wheels is used just because MrShenanigans said i can't use sledge.
    ///edited later
    Also, if there's no parameter in xml file, this parameter will be set to default value.

  • Top Fuel Dragster CHALLENGE (CLOSED) 3.7 years ago

    @Imlazytobuild
    @MrShenanigans said

    Answer 3: modded air brakes yes

    Sometimes you just need to edit question to have the right answer.

  • A-2b Dragonfly 3.7 years ago

    Don't you think propellers will be more effective at this velocity?

  • Top Fuel Dragster CHALLENGE (CLOSED) 3.7 years ago

    @MrShenanigans

    the one we all use for making fighter/interceptor jets

    this?

    I don't know what you mean by sleight or gears

    this is the gear part i asked about, and this is how sleight looks like, maybe i just misspelled it.
    So, can i build a dragster without piston engine?
    If no, i will use just 150 hp, because without modded gears it don't means anything even with 100M hp.
    And can i use modded airbrakes?

  • Top Fuel Dragster CHALLENGE (CLOSED) 3.7 years ago

    No modded tires

    Do you mean friction, rotation speed, or any modification?
    Which jet can i use?
    Can i edit jet's size and mass?
    Can i use any engines except jets and wheels?
    Can i use flapping wings?
    Can i use sleigh instead of gears?
    And how will you test it's speed?

    If answer for two or more of these questions is "yes" i can build a dragster that will go 11000+ km/h.

    А на уровне моря какая максимальная перегрузка? 7 g постоянных выдержит?

  • jet engine efficiency 4.2 years ago

    What is the "power" in tnis list?
    Is it power in whatts?
    Or is it thrust in newtons, kgs, or something else?
    Also, is fuel consumption calculated in gallons or liters?
