@EternalDarkness Cool, that's awesome. I was originally considering that option too, although I intentionally used detachers for the purpose of eliminating the process of having to go into ordnance tab and selecting the rockets. As I stated here:
The launcher uses ingame rockets, but they will not show up as usable for offensive capability (and therefore does not interfere with preexisting builds that use rockets as tank rounds).
Although, if it's something like an IFV I'd assume you don't use rockets on other areas of the vehicle... Just a little more for advocating the use of detachers: as an added plus, using detachers let you give a more "projectile-parabola" trajectory to the travel of the smoke grenades, giving them a slightly more authentic feel (which isn't possible to my knowledge without detachers.)
.
On a final note: thank you for being a nice member of the community and giving credit for what's just the concept. That made my day.
You learn to hate these when you have to drain wastewater from the drain plugs on these. Pretty good job, could use more details like handholds. Most Strykers these days have got a CROWS on them too though.
Torsion bars would certainly be interesting. It would actually be more interesting if they added them separately, and that would allow the first truly "elastic" part with multiple degrees of freedom.

Variables are a part of the larger Funky Trees framework. There is a fundamental understanding of FT mechanics required to use them in any meaningful capacity.
While I understand the frustration, we all have to gather the information from somewhere. The patch notes detail any new changes, special mechanics... A good read of them can help you piece together a complete picture of how things work.
Not quite up to date with 1.11 & 1.12 yet, I've'nt had the time--but expect them to come fairly soon.
EngineRPM should be an output variable for individual parts, you can assign a variable name to carry the data, and that variable can be used for reference.

While FT most definitely is a skill, it doesn't detract from the fact that dynamic control capabilities with it are far beyond any human control. It would be possible to program an entire flight regime that effectively warps between checkpoints.
Perhaps a separate "TAS" category might be more sensible.
Modeling tools have improved substantially and programming capability has been added. Very much different from a couple years ago, and I still love it.

Definitely why the smooth function remains one of the most important functions we have. As for the rate though, I personally recommend using a really large number, like pow(10,5) in order to ensure that the function properly "snaps" to any value.

No, no problem with the mentions. Here's an example: nudging decals into fuselages to make them much more non-intrusive. It takes 2 seconds to press "T" and press Shift-WASD to move it in by an inch or two. Really... not hard. Yet ignored.

You'll have to take one apart yourself. The problem with piston engines in SP is that they lack a starter, which makes it very difficult to avoid reciprocating motion. If you know what crankshafts look like, they're not terribly difficult to make. The problem is getting motion direction uniform.

Hey, what's with the open indication of hostility facilitated by the use of all caps? That aside, no, just that I dislike baseless slander, which is being done here with your previous comment. I never specified that I am entitled to an explanation.
However, as this is a public forum, you are held responsible for your actions and claims- and thus should be aware that personal opinions, when vocalized, become a means of affecting the general population. It is very much undesireable for public opinion to be swayed by baseless claims, which is why I am requesting supporting data on your end. You see, I like to form my opinions as objectively as possible, even if that means changing my original perception of things. That is, I want to see your side of the story.
Otherwise, I see no value in the aforementioned comment for the sake of discussion, to which you should take action to indicate it as so.

You're wrong. Reports all read. You're wrong if you think plats are immune from bans b/c they did dumb things, you haven't been around here enough to see one that stupid. I don't think silver is much of an "larger" user either, so that's that.
@Kirby144p

Here's a slightly more elegant solution- this doesn't need any other modifications except for the actual input (no need to deal with damperMultiplier):
clamp(PitchAngle*0.01, -1, 1)
all you need is a rotator with 90º range (the default). No other modifications needed. Although, this also requires that you add a separate part to elevate your gun- though when modifying older builds to have a stabilizer, my solution will likely be easier to use, and the same can be done to add a horizontal stabilizer:
clamp(RollAngle*0.01, -1, 1)
Both in tandem create an effective two-plane stabilizer.
First of all, tank aren't underrated. They receive substantial amounts of upvotes. It's just that Bronze or Silver users are bronze and silver for a reason- their quality isn't high enough.
Most tanks are also replicas. If you aren't faithful enough to the real thing, you likely won't receive good feedback.
@ThomasRoderick It's not like I didn't know about that. Chaffs and flares don't create a large or somewhat lasting effect that visually masks a vehicle; they do work as a IR countermeasure, as certain types of irl smoke grenades do, but fail to give the visual effect most people want.
Yes, I know how ATGMs work, and most gun launched ATGM types (usually SACLOS) are operator guided, which make a visual masking effective, but with IR detection devices this protection is rendered useless as well. The only effective smoke grenades still in modern use are those that mask the vehicle visually, thermally, and disrupt its silhouette effectively.
