As an explanation, think of how the Wing part works: you have the wing, and then you can add cut-outs that serve a function based on input (control surfaces)
What if there was a hollow fuselage with a similar function. It looks like a hollow fuselage and acts as one, but you can add bomb bays and change their shape, size, how many bends are in it, the AG group activation, angle, speed, that kinda thing
I know its a lot, sorry, but it's just an idea :)
Sorry, I know this has probably already been asked for, but I think that having an expanded amount of AG groups will be SUPER beneficial. Maybe even 2 more would help a ton, 4 at best
I think it would help a lot of people add some cool features for VR players as well, having more levers and buttons to press for them
Is it possible to add heat haze for jet engines into the game?
.
Like, when you go to high graphical settings, it activates. Or maybe there's a separate feature for it?
As many people have stated below, it would be SUPER useful to have more than 8 input values. Or maybe if we could have a customizable HUD for the standard SP, because the VR players are already going to basically have that in front of them. Not sure how this could be implemented though. Thanks
Okay, okay, so this might have to be done in a future update, but hear me out:
.
Is it possible to maybe add an rpm system to the engines? That way we can design working gears for said engines.
Or maybe like instead of the built-in propeller engines, there was one interchangeable engine. It could be a V engine, U engine, Flathead, Inline, Rotary, Wankel Rotary, Radial, that form of thing. Choose how many rows or pistons, the power output, size, RPM control, fuel consumption, and bam! Engine time
Then you could smack that onto a fuselage and use it. With that, you could select output to a new propeller block that has the same options as the old one, maybe with things like the prop style, blade count, thickness, the hub style, that form of thing. Turboprops could be made by connecting something like the VTOL engine to the prop instead of using a turboprop part, or maybe with a whole new procedural jet engine.
Along with the new RPM thing, you could add mixture controls as well, like in real aircraft, and control the RPM govenor of the engine, along with things like TurboChargers, and SuperChargers.
.
Like my last suggestion, this is all just an idea, not forcing you to build anything. I just think something like this would make builds look a lot better, and it would allow for a lot more realism and control with the build. Thanks
There are many things that attribute to people wanting to download/comment on a build. And only the former is the most popular as many people tend to not comment, but only download and leave.
Furthermore, custom thumbnails, and even just a better build quality is better
Oh, my!!
.
This sounds wonderful, stranger! I went to see the Russian government in Bolivia, and all they gave me was a darn Ushanka and a scar on my butt!
An aircraft can't BE a PSM. But yes, the F-22 can do PSMs. It has thrust vectoring and a greater than 1:1 power to weight ratio
.
But the TVC only goes on the pitch axis, not on Roll or Yaw, meaning that the aircraft can only do controlled PSMs with pitching like the Hammerhead, for instance
As a more descriptive version of Sm10684's suggestion, what if (and maybe not in this update) there was something like at most a procedural engine. How powerful is the turbine/compressors? What layout is the engine (is it a flathead? What about a flathead 6, or maybe a V-12 for Spitfires)? What about adding superchargers/turbochargers? Maybe like an impeller for boats that function only in water, or a prop for boats
And maybe you could choose between a turboengine and a piston engine or something. Then there would have to be a propeller part to attach, or you can attach wheels
.
This is all an idea, but I'd hope it could be real! And especially if they all had realistic sounds. Thanks, devs
Ooh, good question
.
For one, it is meant for gyro-stablized systems (helicopters, VTOL aircraft, etc), and it has WAYY better things to do than just stabilizing things to a neutral pitch/roll. You can activate gyro-based controls for pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as setting the pitch it stabilizes to. You can also increase (or decrease) its power or stability to your needs
.
Some masters of the funky trees realm also use gyros to create really good cannons for tanks (gyros automatically stablize, and are a lot smoother).
.
I hope this helps!
This is so cool! I hope this blows up, I actually don't think anyone has made a challenge on this before lol.
.
Also, Cruiser subs were the only class of subs to carry planes on them. The Surcouf and the Japanese I-400 class had internal plane hangars and deployable radar balloons
@Kangy y'know you're right 😂
My brain must've been screwed on wrong today lmao
.
I crammed to write this in an hour and published it thinking it was complete enough for me to edit it later. Gonna fix it now lol
This is so freaking cool!! I love all of this to the max. I'm following, spotlighting, and updooting, amazing work!
.
Also, along with some others here, I think it's perfectly fine to have the swastika there, you have the historical reason for it, it's not like you're outright saying you support it, it's merely a symbol, which follows the rules!
.
Again, awesome work!
@SLSD001 @5647367267
This update has already released. If you want to suggest stuff for the next update, if there will ever be one, then use User Voice. This page isn't for suggesting stuff. It was for 1.11, and 1.12 is already out
@geek1love for one, you can already make planes aggressive when spawning them (the "mode" button at the top can either be default or aggressive)
And for two, I think those other modes qould be cool, but the devs are working on 1.12 now. This was for 1.11
The missiles target and lock onto the cockpit block, which likely has some form of a code that allows missiles to know its location, and the most accurate path to take to connect to the cockpit part
.
The flares and chaff each have a certain amount of fires before the missile gives up. I think with flares it is 4 flares per missile. If its still locking, it is 1 flare. I'm not sure about chaff though. But either way, it's just a simple code that stops the missile from tracking after a certain number of flares/chaff have been fired (unless you relock onto the target, that is). As CC1010 said below, the missiles do not chase the flares, but rather are disengaged by them
@BryanO5 mods can't work on mobile.
.
And this mod looks super cool! I agree with VolcanicAsh, but maybe also add like an area with sand on a coast. That way it can feel useful for amphibious aircraft/ships, or really anything for that matter. The game could benefit from a real beach somewhere
I'm sorry, but it is not realistic and it does not even fit the theme of ww2. Nor does it even look good. You have a little under a month to do this, why not take the time to learn some new tricks and make something really cool?
Here's why it's not realistic:
Minigun was not invented until 1960
Lock missiles were not used in WW2 (though the Germans experimented with Radio-guided missiles)
Countermeasures were not used in WW2 (nor were they needed)
This plane does not have a color scheme
The plane is not realistic in any way shape or form
And finally, that wing loading is very scary, this thing can probably barely turn.
Sorry, lad. But I cannot enter this into the challenge, but I will gratefully accept another entry
Neither, Traian Vuia, a Romanian inventor, flew the first "aeroplane" as we know today, including an undercarriage and a forward-facing engine. Romania also designed the first rocket powered aircraft, which the Germans used to take notes
I entirely agree with all of this. The forums are for help, for giving tips or new concepts to the community, trying to advertise a newly released build/teasing an in-progress one, and challenges and such. A year or so back, a Dev or Mod, I don't remember who exactly, sent out a forum basically saying that "making a forum denouncing someone else or a group being annoying, while helpful, is more fuel for the fire, as people will try making a forum like that too"
Although, I disagree with that bit
@BeastHunter Sorry! XD
I am not working on a B-50, although if you'd like, I could build a KB-50J one day
.
Right now, I am working on three other projects, one is a fictional heavy bomber/hydroplane, and then my B-36 project, and I am currently making a Cessna 337 (teaser will be out soon)
She flies amazingly!! And I love that you made the pedestal act as a control surface as well. The aforementioned points I agree with, as the landing gear feel like they take a bad hit whenever you touch down, but all and all, this concept is sick!
@MrShenanigans @FeatherWing
Some random 0 point user was saying how they are using 5000 dollars to make a movie, and that they want to have appropriate funding and people, and were asking about people who were interested
Everyone is making fun of them
@CC1010 the swastica isn't even a Nazi symbol. It is from hinduism and it symbolizes peace and purity (the Nazis stole it and turned it into a propaganda/murdering symbol)
That acceleration is ungodly, but the aircraft design is gorgeous. I'd suggest making the power of the engines equivalent to the real life ones, and then adjust drag to make it accelerate realistically
.
But the aircraft is gorgeous!! I can't wait to see what you do!
Yes, this community has recently gotten a bunch of pricks (most of which are under the allowed age on this site, based on their speech patterns), but there are some nice people. I like to consider myself a nice person, and I will help to the best of my abilities. But please don't be rude like some of the others
