  • Other Mod In Base Game 1.4 years ago

    It's important to consider the fact that while yes, certain mods/mod features were implemented into SP, those mods and features were made by WNP78 (and maybe some other game devs), and later implemented by them when they joined Jundroo.
    It's different for non-developer mods. They're third-party addons, and adding them to the stock game could cause legal issues for Jundroo. (Credits to RepublicOfCursedPlanes for a better explanation of this.)

    TLDR: No. Unless the mods are made by game developers, the chances of that happening are almost zero.

    This is just my view on the topic however. It's possible I may not have all the facts. If someone more knowledgeable than me happens to see this, feel free to correct anything I might be wrong about.

    @MrCOPTY I don't entirely know actually. This was my first attempt at a scratch-built VR aircraft so I was guessing on most of it.

  • How do I increase speed for rockets 1.4 years ago

    @Hiimakeplanes You could try using several rockets. That's what I did before I discovered missile propulsion.

    Impressive. Love the flame effects. I'm gonna need to experiment more with AB colors on my upcoming delta fighter/interceptor.

  • SSTO TAV-01A Wayfinder 1.4 years ago

    Took it for a spin. I really like the design of it. I love the geometric lifting body design. It's something I've really been wanting to experiment with recently for hypersonic vehicles.

    One of the biggest things I noticed while flying was that the drag is absolutely insane. It would fly significantly better if the amount of drag point count was reduced to around 4,000 instead of over 40,000 (you can do this using Overload to decrease drag on certain parts).

    It's also very lightweight for its size and dimensions. The weight should probably be closer to 100,000lbs (45,359kg) or greater (you can do this by modifying the weight of certain parts using Overload) for optimal flight characteristics.

    There are other things that could be updated/added in the future (rocket engines, custom landing gear, maybe a fly-by-wire system for more stability, RCS for control in the upper stratosphere and outside the atmosphere, etc.) that I think would greatly enhance the performance and functionality of the design!

  • (Tutorial) The Basics Of Creating Digital Flight Displays Using Text Labels: 1.4 years ago

    @KSB24 Sorry for the late response. Been occupied with other things.
    So if I understood that correctly, then the expression should look like this:

    {Activate8=1 ? round(GS*3.6)+"Km/H" : " "}

    I tested this and it seems to work fine. It won't display anything when Activate8 is disabled, but if you want to fix this you can fill that blank space between the second set of quotes with whatever you'd like.

  • dont know what i should make 1.5 years ago

    I think it'd be neat to try an autogyro. They're very neat aircraft that we don't see here very often.

    If rotorcraft aren't your thing, then I'd use TheGliderGuy's suggestion. We don't see many good gliders very often.

  • How is this possible? 1.5 years ago

    The pressure inside the airplane is roughly equal to the ambient air pressure at/near ground level, so pressure won't be a big liming factor.

    Oncoming airflow is a different story (as well as which way the door opens).
    But the airspeed during landing isn't nearly as high as it is during cruising, and it's an outward opening door (which will get blown open depending on the direction of airflow).

    I'm not an expert on the topic. These are just my assumptions.

  • When I crash or take damage, I want the an activation to deactivate. 1.5 years ago

    Well, I don't know of a way to detect damage directly, but you might be able to simulate it by using rate(GForce)># to detect collisions.
    This is just a theory, I haven't tested it. You'll need to tinker with the input to get it working (assuming it works).

    @TheTomatoLover Thanks! Yes, this is actually a real thing, hosted by a company called Virgin Galactic. They've just started doing commercial spaceflights (you can buy a ticket for around 450,000USD).
    Here's a recap video of their most recent spaceflight.

  • WZ-8 1.5 years ago

    Not bad for your first build!

    One thing I will say is that you should move the landing gear as close as possible to the Center Of Mass. It allows for better takeoff/landing performance.

  • Do you listen to music while building? 1.5 years ago

    I transition between synthwave and cinematic music (Hans Zimmer, Scott Buckley, Secession Studios, etc.) I also occasionally put on a cinematic in the background.

    Here's one of my favorites:
    Emotional Tech Noir Music - The Machine

    Cinematic music is really good for getting the creative thoughts flowing in my opinion.

  • NEED HELP!! (I say this a lot ??) 1.5 years ago

    There's a nice tutorial here for making custom airfoils.

    If making the wings this way is still too hard, and you don't mind a simpler look, what I do is start with a fuselage shell, cut the control surfaces out and add rotators, and then fit individual wing pieces (0% thickness) into each section of the fuselage-wing shell.

    If that didn't make any sense, you can use one of my builds to see what I mean.
    The method I use isn't as time or part efficient, but it works quite well in my opinion.

  • Venture Aeronautics Project E510 "Arbitrator" 1.6 years ago

    @STENDEC The name "Arbitrator" is a sort of call-back to the B-36.
    The B-36's nickname was the Peacemaker, so I decided to name this the Arbitrator since it's a synonym of Peacemaker.

  • Venture Aeronautics Project E510 "Arbitrator" 1.6 years ago

    @STENDEC It's essentially a mix between an XB-35 and a B-36.

    I was considering a full-jet version, but I chose not to do that. I figured a mixed-propulsion flying-wing would be more interesting than a full-jet.

  • (Tutorial) How To Change Fuel Consumption And Noise For Jet Engines: 1.6 years ago

    @griges
    The Target is the value you want the controller to achieve.


    The Current is the variable that you want to be controlled (it can be Altitude, AngleOfAttack, or pretty much any data value). The controller will attempt to change whatever the Current is so that it's equal to the Target value.


    The p value (proportional) is how much output the controller should give.
    The i value (integral) is how quickly the controller should try to meet the Target value.
    The d value (derivative) is how careful the controller should be. This is to prevent overcorrecting/overshooting the target value. It's essentially an input dampener for the controller.


    The Target, p, i, and d values are supposed to be numbers (though I'm pretty sure the Target value can be a different data value as well).


    The format should look like this: PID(Target, Current, p, i, d).
    An example of what this could look like: PID(0, AngleOfAttack, 0.005, 0.001, 0.0025).
