arctangent function (in degrees) vary between -90 and 90, you put a minus before so it goes from 90 to -90 -90<-atan(x)<90
as you want this to be used in a engine to max out thrust at "x" speed, you want the fuction to vary between 0 and 1, so you do this -0.5<-atan(x)/180<0.5 0<atan(x)/180+0.5<1
The point where the curvature of the function flips is when the thing inside the arctangent function is 0. So imagine you want that top speed to be 300kts, and the x is already converted to kts (1.9438*IAS if you're wondering), you do this 0<-atan(x-300)/180+0.5<1
When the speed is nearing the limit you set, the output of the function lowers just before it.
<--My reaction
+1yes
@DickBrazen it's a joke :v
+1@Sanada ok then
wait feature that were already there will be locked or there will be new features?

I hope this helped
@asteroidbook345 Indeed, this was my favourite plane to pilot in FlightGear
@DickBrazen people hate to be told to do stuff
Low Battery
+2try adding wing panels on the underbelly, the physics work better that way, like this
perfection
+1beautiful
@Starlight that hit too close to home :')
+1@SnoWFLakE0s I think the main formula is the one for the wings, the rest is basically safety programs
have you tried making original builds?
Turn SP into WT
+1SimpleThunder?
WarPlanes?
@DeidaraEnterprises what what?
@Notaleopard thanks mister
@nadvgia brigado meu
+1@vcharng it depends tho I guess
this is a cool body plan
@Shadowed noice
+1@SnoWFLakE0s now that I'm thinking better, does this still fall within the challange's criteria?
@MBR6753 on my posts :v
@AerialFighterSnakes this does absolutely nothing a space shuttle does
@Pophead OH
@asteroidbook345 @NightmareCorporation you've got yourselves a worthy opponent
@Aeromen ME
confused screaming
@asteroidbook345 I just finished watching Evagelion, I'm not gonna live through that hype alone
@asteroidbook345 it is on my list of anime I might watch but don't feel like start watching
@asteroidbook345 oh no, jojo references that I don't get :')
@asteroidbook345 nani?
@WorldofWarships done
This will make a fine addition to my collection
+1@asteroidbook345 indeed XD
Holy fuf this is delicious
Use a arctangent function
@WorldofWarships easy, forum
@Solarisaircraft thanks brotha
@WorldofWarships I feel like calling the weebs of SimplePlanes to unite
@larsy974 thanks pal'e
The music automatically plays in my head
+6@grizzlitn thanks mister
+1Why can't "false" be 0? It would facilitate coding a lot
@NFIGMT thanks m8
@Treadmill103 @ThomasRoderick @EternalDarkness thanks a lot guys!
+1@destroyerP thx pardner
@GhosTerSix thanks pal'e
@SnoWFLakE0s thanks man
