If you ever feel like making an F-35b with hover, let me know and I’ll help out with it. Trying to nail the perfect hover mechanics are something I have a lot experience with.
You’ve earned my upvote.
Question. How did you get the bomb to continue showing it’s trajectory even after detaching? Don’t understand how…
Edit: I discovered it only does this when the small side of a detacher is connected to 2 parts that the bomb’s connected to. The big side of the detacher goes on the plane
I don't know why but modsettings doesn't seem to put any mod settings on my main menu. I downloaded it, ran it and enabled it in SP but I can't use this mod since the settings aren't there :(
Just fyi, I know the deadline for entries past, but important STOL parameters have been fixed on my final, 3rd update post, making it transition properly to and from VTOL. I set it as a redirect from my main entry. This site's 5 posts every 24 hours rule prevented me from fixing it sooner :(
@Falkenwut Ha! I know the feeling. The "cruise control" on my plane had me stumped for a loong time. I learned SO MUCH about XML in building my contest entry. With the game crashing, I try to save super often and when the editor starts getting laggy, I reboot the game. This clear's all your past 'undo' presses from memory which can add up really quick when building, especially when a lot of high part or XML heavy changes are made on the build. You're on the right track with your lift system though, control wise. You should check out Lemoose's Rolls Royce lift system. I add to its lift system for my entry, but I think it's what you were going for. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/ABPzHu/Rolls-Royce-LiftSystem
I didn’t make the body. But if U can find me a spanking, low part count F-35B body, I’d like to use it. It’s gotta be a good one and to scale. I suck at building lol it’s so tedious 😭@SuperSabre1945
@Phoebe sigh.. I made a 'curved' kite that doesn't fly very well...it does with gyro :/ IT MUST WORK SOMEHOW. Physics don't lie

Hey I suck at delta wing planes, however I did compare it to a really realistic delta wing plane made by one of the best builders:
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/u81B4M/Eurofighter-Typhoon
I noticed his center of Mass was higher than the center of lift. I tried it and it helps a little. Your plane is bigger than his, so I think for its size, it handles well especially considering it’s so long. In fact, the gap between his big wing and tiny front ones is bigger than urs (compare top views). By moving the tiny wings further from the bigger ones, u get more control at lower speeds. I tried it
The other guy mentioned moving your center of lift forward. You do that by increasing the wing lift area on the front of the plane however u want or reducing the wing size in the rear (u can even just reduce or increase the wing’s “liftScale” with the xml button and wing properties instead changing the build).
Idk if this helps but hope u figture it out!

HOLY GUACAMOLE DUDE I never knew variable setters existed. I thought it was for viewing variable outputs like the other button with the same image. That’s a lot of code!!! Thank you so much man! I’ve asked this so many times on different posts and absolutely no one responds @JoshuaW
Could someone please tell me where the heck the drone rocket's inputs are created?! They are not the outputs from the computer module...WHERE DOES THIS CODE EXIST i.e. where is vLAT declared? Is this done outside of the in game editor?
Dude pleeeeaaase make the long range guided bombs. Here I’ll even give you my base bomb to use (I’ll tag you on it). It’s got rotators on it for aero. I’ve been trying to replicate this, but I don’t know how.
Merry Christmas everybody!
@Chaka Hey, cool! Thanks for the sharing. Sounds like you’ve given it a lot of thought. Plane’s not bad either 😉. Controls feel a little sluggish, but the landing seems to work when very limited conditions are met. I’d call that a success. To vastly improve it, the rate of decent could be controlled better. Perhaps setting a target altitude that decreases to carrier alt on the pitch as the distance gets close. It’d be a less ghetto method lol. Maybe with PID control??? A lot of custom glide weapons have this same problem where altitude just decreases the entire time instead of gliding/flying then diving (mine included! That’s why it’s not posted publicly. Terrain gets in the way and stuff.) As you mentioned, I am working with PID for “cruise control.” The formula’s a little tricky and I’m new at this
@Chaka Sounds neat and complicated lol. How are the throttle and airspeed controlled? I’m working on a similar project, but with an F-35B’s auto STOVL transition button. Currently stumped on “cruise control” for hover mode 😖
@tomlin5412 I read in a post of yours you like to code. Do you know the answer to this?
I’ve been attempting to replicate the F-35B’s automatic controls with this plane: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/ABPzHu/Rolls-Royce-LiftSystem-V2. It’s such a satisfying coding challenge.
Some good sources for F-35B’s real world functions are this video and article if your interested:

Could you please tell me where it is you created/defined the custom input auto pitch and auto roll variables? I can’t seem to find where it’s defined on the build using the in game variable menu and the overload tools.
Could you please tell me where it is you created the custom input id’s, “MCP,” “MCR,” and “MCY?” I’m assuming it stands for my custom pitch, roll and yaw. I can’t seem to find it on the build using the in game variable menu and the overload tools.
@Mashu BRUH. If you need me I’ll be flushing my glide bomb down the toilet.

Dude! I just read the outputs of the flight computer for the first time! It can tell you so much useful information for custom targeting like this! Wish I knew that sooner.. Very neat weapon @Huax.
Why did you use triangles for the nose? Aren’t there smoother ways?
The size to speed ratio of the buggy just feels sort of off @Gro
suspension is awesome. feels sort of slugish speedwise
Oh no.
@MrGreen As judge of the RALLY CAR CHALLENGE, you gave this NON-rally car more points than @nanta02 ’s rally car… why

Title says “White users be like:”… just make it a plane functioning like a tank and get a BF 2042 moment in there lol @KONOJERRYDA
I lost it when the tank pulled a cobra, slicing off the chaser’s wing with the barrel 😂
We need one for black users now
Dude. One upvote. And it’s from Andrew Garrison the maker of this game. 🤣 guess I’ll upvote too
Absolutely hilarious. Name too. Little people shoulda worn seatbelts smh.
Sus…pence. I bet the highest upvoted one’ll win.

Actually it’s a beast @V drove it under water and the game crashed XD
This site needs more low part count vehicles..most of them are way to high
Can somebody please just make an entry like the picture?!
@SimpleplanesTankbuilder I did that several times.

Hey! I UPDATED MY ENTRY! It is the second F-35B I just uploaded!
Sir, I believe your replica is 10x to big. You need to lie down, sir. I still like it. Sir, I need to lie down.
@Phoebe sigh.. I made a 'curved' kite that doesn't fly very well...it does with gyro :/ IT MUST WORK SOMEHOW. Physics don't lie
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/dfYD8Q/kite-surfer-huh-wip
I trust the vectoring. Lol I guess I was a little puzzled by how well it handled when throttle is set to 0. @Lamakingdm
Cool plane my guy. Feels really weird to fly. Handling is crazy. Care to elaborate at all on why? Are gyro’s being used?
I’ll do some better: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/z1b7Rr/SB2
