@AndrewGarrison you know, Funnily enough, those updates in the policy make the "game" a legit and viable option to actually start learning some basic 3D modelling before moving on to a CAD and/or blender.
I really do wonder if Simpleplanes can be genuinely developed intl an education software that universities can actually integrate into the syllabus. Might be something the dev team could and should consider, I personally would love to teach children the basics of aerodynamics with Simpleplanes being a part of the actual syllabus instead of some game on the side with vague connection to the subject of Aero...
@Stick yeah, again, just try making the outer part of your wing a little more lifting than the root
The alternative is making the wings so small that the wings HAVE to stall completely in unison before one of them loses airflow enough to cause the induced roll
@Stick that's a real life problem. It's either fixed with RollRate limitors or a wing that has higher aft sweep (basically more pointy backwards and longer) so that the tips don't stall.
Auto trim and Holding angle of attack are two very different functions.
As for PID... Well, unless you have an engineering degree, that's going to be pretty difficult. PID are known to be finnicky to those who can't be bothered to open a desmos graph and plot in the maths. Even then PID's in simple planes are sensitive to the thousandth decimal.
What you want for "Auto trim" is to reduce the PitchRate so that the Pitch Angle doesn't change. Trying something like PitchRate>0.1? PitchRate/25 : (PitchRate(smaller than)-0.1? PitchRate/25 : 0) may work... But I just got that from the top of my head and testing will be needed.
@Solent19 it's always interesting to see other stories stem from Simpleplanes. I've had a lot of things that I learnt from this site, so it's awesome to know I'm not the only one!
Cheers to arguably one of the best sandbox games in the history of sandbox games
And here's to wishing the dev team a merry christmas and a happy new year!

1. I have Portugese ancestry
2. The lore of this aircraft is that it came from a company that has Portugese as the primary language

You basically my dream design in simpleplanes. I'm in love

+3@TheUltimatePlaneLover have I missed any planes? Sorry, got busy at some point in between ( I mean upvotes btw )
Le CHONK
@overlord5453 how is it?
@overlord5453 how it be?
@overlord5453 Okay I'm going to add guns to the thing now ;-;
+2@YarisSedan xD might
possibly the next big thing after overload?
+4Wow, that is one SQUISHED UP plane
By the way, as promised, I'm working on matching the upvotes too. Of course, since I got first, I'll be giving 30 to 2nd, 15 to third and so on.
+1@SkyJayTheFirst in my eyes, you did. Your plane is very well made.
+1Congratulations!
+1Wait, FIRST PLACE!?
+5@DrakonDynamics thank you!
@Reaper6872 good to know. I'll keep this one in mind when you need some pictures.
trust me, this plane is an absolute BANGER
T
+1Holy crap Rambo you can't start off my year with the type of plane I've always wanted to make!😭
Thank you, this is unironically one of the best gifts I could ask for during a new year

We'll start with this...
Auto trim and Holding angle of attack are two very different functions.
As for PID... Well, unless you have an engineering degree, that's going to be pretty difficult. PID are known to be finnicky to those who can't be bothered to open a desmos graph and plot in the maths. Even then PID's in simple planes are sensitive to the thousandth decimal.

Hehe, I like how you mention A legacy
And what it could mean to someone. Nice design!

TWIN BOOOOM
ITS A FRICKIN METEORRRRRRRRRRr
+1@LunarEclipseSP this is what you get when an F-18 had too much fun at a club with flankers
+1@YarisSedan BRO!?
Also, I caught you red handed in 4k
Side note, I'm here because of the Christmas post
+1Absolutely nothing else.
Just the Christmas post.
@Potato21 xD
+1@AndrewGarrison Thank you for the feedback!
If you liked it, previous version with lower part counts and performance costs are there.
This one greatly reduces the parts and performance cost, but the cockpit and flight performance should be the same
Here is the first version of this as well.
I'll keep the performance in mind for future builds and focus on making part efficient VR versions as well!
@Potato21 by the wayyyyyyy
@AndrewGarrison
Thank you! Thank you so much!!
Awesome game btw!
@JSTQ ayyyy good to know, thank you!

Thank you!
@amanwilldiebutnothisideas thank you! Appreciate that! Let me know what your opinion is
