@ToeTips thats fair enough, I started doing that a little, draw a sketch, then make a skeleton etc, but does make the actual flight and stuff tough sometimes
@mitsuki make the limbs lighter if possible, XML editing the heavy parts to make them lighter, this puts less force on the rotators so they act less elastically. Or make them slower etc, minimise momentum on the rotator will make it act more robotically and more elastically. the damper will help too I'm pretty sure
@TinyMaus I think it was a sorta joke abt the concept of the companion cube in the game of portal, and how its "an ordinary" cube when theyre likely more than that
@ToeTips It depends, you could argue that my latest mech dog was high detail, or some of my other builds, but no hyper detailed replicas, I like making stuff thats got no blueprint
@ToeTips I remember like a couple of years ago there was a real boom of new high quality builders and I have a feeling one got gold after like 3 or 4 builds it was insane
@ToeTips theres loads of upcomers, its mad, I feel the quality barrier between all of the ranks is sorta gone at this point. I've seen bronze or lower builders make mad stuff which I wouldnt have dreamed of at their rank
@ToeTips like I swear a good chunk of people who were (as close as u can get to on this website) friends went into service in military or air force positions so yeah.
@ToeTips i'd like to think so but time flies fast, and a lot of people are probably with jobs and kids and might not be able to dedicate like 50 hours to a build
@Graingy maybe, but unlike before i got no intent in building again this time, my life is too turbulent atm I don't think a big build will ever really happen again unfortunately
Firstly, they'll always be slightly twitchy and floppy but trying to minimise the torque and weight acting on the rotator helps imo, however depending on how they move u can try and use multiple sets of rotators (and gyroscopes on limbs which isnt a great idea however it works very rarely and situationally from my experience)
@RodimusRhoamMaximus firstly wow that sounds incredible, I’m not really an expert and I have only worked on something up to quadrupedal, I’ll see if I can find you some good examples of 6 legged walkers
@LtColGaby I assume you mean impactForce I’d recommend trying it out first but basically when a guns bullets with impactForce hit an object it pushes away the object, it can also be negative acting like a tractor beam or magnet
You can always place wings on the vehicle and make them work then shrink them using overload to something really small e.g. 0.001,0.001,0.001. As for landing gear, your choice is custom, or pre-made. Have a look at some of the high point people you’ll prob find custom gear.
I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t bother looking at it. Usually it’s a rule of thumb issue with performance costs. If it looks high performance it probably is. Worst case scenario get someone with really low specs to test it
Hmmm. Things have changed a lot since I’ve properly last been on, @Awsomur. However since then spiritus raptor has been grandly dethroned. @Strikefighter04 as an alternative suggestion. Or @SnoWFLakE0s
@Blub00The00Builder the grammar is fine lol, and as for the gyros, try it with one gyroscope, have it on 2500% stability (25 in overload) and see if that stabilises it. From there it’s a fine balancing game. and that’s a hell of an impressive build, I’d love to see the complete version when done
I think it’s
100 for bronze.
1000 for silver
5000 for gold
25000 for plat
Blue is dev
Red is mod
Green is VR stuff.
I might have that wrong it’s been a while lol
@Kendog84 oooohh nice, I mean with some of the NPC vehicles, you can copy their file for the vehicle, and add them into the usable plane files if you wanna have a closer look.
@Blub00The00Builder hmm, what funky stuff did you use as an input? Also, try putting all the code in brackets then multiplying by clamp01 of an activation group. E.G. (cos(Time✖️90))✖️clamp01(Activate1).
I’m on mobile so I’m using the emoji multiplication sign instead of an asterisk. This will mean it can be turned on by pressing AG1
@Blub00The00Builder hey, firstly I just recently made a forum post about how to make mechs walk. However when breaking down a typical humanoid or most terrestrial creatures, there’s the hip joint, the knee joint and lastly the ankle joint. The ankle joint angles the foot up or down, and if the ankle joint uses cos(Time✖️180) the ankle would have the same equation however you press invert on the ankle rotator. I hope this helps!
@ToeTips Idk its more in the sense of like I build a slim build or a giant build then making it fly can be really tough because of drag and stuff
@ToeTips thats fair enough, I started doing that a little, draw a sketch, then make a skeleton etc, but does make the actual flight and stuff tough sometimes

@SpartanJohn117 I couldnt agree more
@Supermarinethespitfire None taken lol, I completely agree
@TinyMaus I think it was a sorta joke abt the concept of the companion cube in the game of portal, and how its "an ordinary" cube when theyre likely more than that
@ToeTips yeah, most builds I make I think of, build a skeleton, then flesh it out, then make it work.
@ToeTips thanks lol
@ToeTips It depends, you could argue that my latest mech dog was high detail, or some of my other builds, but no hyper detailed replicas, I like making stuff thats got no blueprint
this is amazing

@RepublicOfCursedPlanes really, damn yeah I mean post mod inclusion there's actually a good few mobile players now, so that's good
@Graingy maybe, but unlike before i got no intent in building again this time, my life is too turbulent atm I don't think a big build will ever really happen again unfortunately
@ToeTips thanks for the upvotes
@SILVERPANZER thank you for the support!

using the xml editor thingy, up the health of the part to an arbitrarily big number
@Nitrogeneating1160, I mean yeah? I reckon thatd work, I'm quite rusty with funky trees rn so explain it more and I'll see if I can help :)
@RodimusRhoamMaximus firstly wow that sounds incredible, I’m not really an expert and I have only worked on something up to quadrupedal, I’ll see if I can find you some good examples of 6 legged walkers
@RodimusRhoamMaximus I’d have to check out the build, but seeing as it’s a transformer probably yes
@LtColGaby I assume you mean impactForce I’d recommend trying it out first but basically when a guns bullets with impactForce hit an object it pushes away the object, it can also be negative acting like a tractor beam or magnet
I’ll be honest. Anything I posted like 2020 was alright, anything before that was poor. And I don’t build things now so F tier
Ayyyy thank you very much, I really enjoyed this challenge
Looks interesting I’ll give it a shot
@FarrowTECH oh yeah, it looks good. I thought it was a flight problem because honestly looks good lol didn’t see design problems
@FarrowTECH hmmm. Personally, I’d try and make them weightless and drag less and see if that helps.

@Nerfaddict fair enough
@MannedBeggur from there, try and keep the centre of mass near centre and try slowly reducing the stability, hopefully you’ll find a balance
@Kendog84 hmmmm I’ve never really tried looking at them in detail, except the convoy ones, but they’re easy
@Kendog84 hmm. I reckon you could use a detachable drone if you wanted to see them in mission, and perhaps find a permanent daytime mod? Idk.

@Kendog84 maybe? They’re buried somewhere in the files, my guess is they aren’t made of simple planes parts so may never be editable
@F1Fan8910 I feel that lol, I can’t do it either
I just downloaded them on simple planes website (chrome) and it dealt with all the nitty gritty for me :/
I think it’s in one of the helpful links forum. But if I remember right it’s ! [] (imagehyperlink) with no spaces in it.
I think it’s
100 for bronze.
1000 for silver
5000 for gold
25000 for plat

I like the freehanding chimera esque way of building. Good job
pistons, rotators to physically hold it in place, or use a funky input for brakes if you can
