The problem is that the gyro prevents smooth loops. It’s always trying to keep the aircraft level. Real stabilisation computers simply keep the aircraft stable and leave it in the last position the pilot left it @AviownCorp
I haven’t flown it yet, no. I’ll try it sometime soon but I don’t have that much time unfortunately. I think it just needs minor cosmetic wing details and a paint job. I’ll judge the flight performance another time @AviownCorp
I may edit it to be a little more realistic. I personally love crazy agile planes (I'm an RC 3D pilot) but I think dark falcons probably needs slightly more realistic stuff that doesn’t make pilots heads explode lol @AviownCorp
@AviownCorp I'd suggest delta wing for simplicity and functionality. Make it a 5th gen fighter capable of mach 2 at 30000ft (at least). A single machine gun and 6 pylons for missiles would be good. Just my personal suggestions
I like it. I don't speak for the rest of the dark falcons of course (low rank but very active) but I think some slight modifications would make this perfect
We’ve got lots of ground attack aircraft but no jet interceptors. I think we need a supersonic interceptor first and then anything afterwards @AviownCorp
I like most planes and cars. I don't like IC cars or piston powered aircraft. I do like electric, turbine and rocket power. I don't like most people. To me, it sounds like all your problems could be solved if you had electric vehicles (logistically and economically unviable at present time, I know) and became a hermit driving only off-road. And no, I did not read the whole thing. Just the title and one or two bold sections. But seriously though, why complain on Simple Planes?
@DemonSniper8 But only because it's a game. I really don't like using exploits or modding to create something that shouldn't work. But I can't really tell anyone how to play the game can I? By the way, what do you mean by XML stuff? I could make something go beyond light speed if I went nuts with XML
That being said, it’s a game about planes so I can’t really expect the devs to put that much time into the finer points of land vehicles. We can use workarounds to create pretty much anything
There’s a crazy number of things that affect acceleration and top speed on IC engines. Electric is actually a lot simpler. Horsepower and torque are separate things and have different effects on performance. Gearing is perhaps the biggest thing. Simpleplanes has no gears at all and there is no separate control for torque, so to make up for that, the engines are just plain weird at times
If it met my standards for suspension, this thing would probably be over 800 parts due to the crazy number of wheels. Don’t worry about it on this creation. @RocCrafter101
It actually does look like a scania to me. Through my eyes, all cabover road trucks are the same lol. Make it off-road or electric and then we can talk
I suggest using a matte finish with less contrasting colours and a cockpit that blends into the fuselage better. Maybe just add windows to the nose like most large aircraft
They’re progressive with their technology so I like their future and latest aircraft. I really don’t care about the politics of a company if they use generative design and 3D printing and competitors don’t.
I haven't tried this yet so I'm not quite sure what the issue is. The mechanism doesn't look quite right with the shocks like that. Take a look at my latest posts for examples of functional solid axle suspension
@BoeyingOfficial I did once. The XBox controller is better suited to SP. Easier to hold and better buttons for games. Control resolution in SP is actually lower than the XBox controller so the crazy resolution of the taranis doesn't help
I like it. I’ll try it out another time of course but it looks perfect
+1Definitely. @mikoyanster Is continually impressing me with his builds @AviownCorp
+1The problem is that the gyro prevents smooth loops. It’s always trying to keep the aircraft level. Real stabilisation computers simply keep the aircraft stable and leave it in the last position the pilot left it @AviownCorp
Internal is the way to go if you can keep part count low @AviownCorp

+1Not this one yet. Maybe tomorrow. I have flown a couple others of yours though @AviownCorp
+1Either. As long as it’s less than 350 parts @AviownCorp
Keyword is subsonic. Still not the fastest @BaconEggs
Y E S
+1This is exactly what I've been looking for! This would be great for the dark falcons

+1Oh good. I’m rubbing off on people lol @Kkillz21
+1Aerodynamics has very little impact on acceleration but a huge impact on top speed. The original post is about reducing acceleration @DemonSniper8
We’ve got lots of ground attack aircraft but no jet interceptors. I think we need a supersonic interceptor first and then anything afterwards @AviownCorp
+2Looks great!
+1Just giving you attention because you are requesting mechanical suspension only.
no. And that isn't a problem IMO

No. You literally just admitted to spamming and gave no reason to trust you lol

You get a huge difference between 3 and 5. Think of it as gearing @DemonSniper8

Bigger wheels will slow you down drastically
It’s good but... no suspension D:
Yep. Unfortunately doesn’t work for pistons. You could set 10x rang and 0.1 input but that wouldn’t make any difference to volume. @RodWan
@RodWan for engines you can set 10x power and 0.1 max input. But that doesn’t really help here...

+1I’m going to keep playing KSP until SR2 is released
+1Proper terminology is 'flaperons'
+2This is way beyond my level so I’ll just spotlight for attention
I’m in
@DPSAircraftManufacturer I meant the cockpit. You do need windows to see outside on most cargo planes...
+1I suggest using a matte finish with less contrasting colours and a cockpit that blends into the fuselage better. Maybe just add windows to the nose like most large aircraft
+1I didn’t mean I’m second lol. I mean I agree with you @Hayhayjam664
Seconded @Hayhayjam664
Take it through proving grounds lol
+3I think you can do it but I’m not sure. Google search how to change game versions on steam @Chancey21
They’re progressive with their technology so I like their future and latest aircraft. I really don’t care about the politics of a company if they use generative design and 3D printing and competitors don’t.

+1Good to see more 4-link vehicles appearing :)
7 forum posts in two days? 3 in an hour?
can’t you change it to an old version through steam?
Now I need to make a grabber arm for my VTOL bomber ;) @diegoavion84
+1It’s really good but you need to extend the suspension a little more while in the designer. When gravity is applied, the ride height is too low
@BoeyingOfficial I did once. The XBox controller is better suited to SP. Easier to hold and better buttons for games. Control resolution in SP is actually lower than the XBox controller so the crazy resolution of the taranis doesn't help
Good work! Can you take off with one inside?
