@AviationTomcat overlay a blueprint to get the shape right, and then look at pictures - everything you see, add it on (and a little bit of XML too) I'm not any good compared to some people so go check out platinum users
@Suubk27 if you mean screenshots there are a few mods which you could use, first: Upload With Screenshots, 2nd (which you need to use in conjunction) freecam thougb i personally don't like the way it works. i dont know how to upload edited screenshots (e.g with text) outside of the description
@ZHUAREVONI @brians1209 this is what ive found on if statements: a ? b : c(essentially if a then b else c)
but im still trying to figure out how it's used
@ZHUAREVONI ooook so what you need to remember is that pitch is a variable, when you pitch down the actual value is -1.
Again this needs if statements which im still figuring out
@brians1209 ye, for gforce the flight data is VerticalG so if you can make it work with this that will be good, i think it needs if statements which do exist but i dont know how they work
@JustDatGuy sure! ill tag you when i post it, so you can have a look at it. also if you do end up using any part of it you dont have to tag me, but I have made it quite big so the actual parts may not be of use to you (also this model i've built is itself a great stunt plane if the pitch rotators are increased to 15 degrees)
is it easier to get a more accurate model and more detail with this? if so how much longer does it take to make? (im planning to do one which i then skin but im working with time constraints)
@brians1209 no im just using my browser at the moment and cant load discord on there for now, the app works but i need as little open as i can while im working
@brians1209 yes basically! an example of this is my f-5 tiger (im not advertising it dont worry it was so rushed) which displays this well
also im trying to figure out how to make it happen from specific speeds e.g: sound barrier but im kinda stuck on that
@brians1209 really cool one I use creates control surface lock at high speeds, great for causing realistic levels of certain death. in the input section of the rotator (only works with rotators) type clamp(Pitch,(-1)+(IAS/500),1-(IAS/500)
looks complicated I know, but basically take your aircraft up to a huge height (I use 20,000ft so i dont go that high), enable IAS and dive. take note of the top speed and convert it to m/s. Then use this m/s number and use it to replace the 500s. this means that at this high speed you can't pitch and you die xD
obviously pitch can be replaced with anything you fancy, like roll, yaw etc. (IAS/[top speed]) makes the number as close to 1 as possible at top speed. this is in m/s. (-1)+ or 1- inverts the equation so it decreases pitch authority clamp(input,min,max) limits rotation to a set min/max relative to the range of rotation so the biggest/smallest number is 1/-1. Clamp is brilliant do have a play with it to see what you can do
(geez this is one hell of a comment sorry if you dont understand)
@brians1209 am making yes. most of it is done, just finishing off weapons (bombs and rockets specifically), and details so it should be ready in a couple of days
@klm747klm747 I mean take a spaceplane with infinite fuel the spikes go up to about 75000ft (actually I'm surprised I got there so quick I thought it was gonna be a week-long journey of constant flying)
The ocean really is endless though
@WNP78 um I've had it going for about 22 hours now (afk)... Strange stuff starting to happen (woke up to see my plane flying in between large 50,000ft spikes and had to climb to 80,000 ft to avoid them, I might have to save the location and take a spaceplane with me)
EDIT 30 hours in I THINK IVE FOUND IT IT JUST... stops... and an endless ocean awaits beyond. this is now a quest to break simpleplanes
@lilgreen06 are you using XML editing in a notepad applicatio for some of the functions? If you are using a separate notepad application then a syntax error can cause this so double check your tree funking

Noiceee
@Spitfire12 thanks xD there were times I thought: 'well this looks a bit pants doesn't it' but it turned out ok?!
@ZHUAREVONI ok so I don't think it worked then xD
@asteroidbook345 I... Um... Crashed it xD
@Brendorkus yeh sry i got a bit excited
@Hellosss38
@JustDatGuy go ahead! It's a fuel tank too
Sorry for misunderstanding

+1@Aerofy ironically the 219 had famously bad energy retention xD
@ZHUAREVONI maybe `input = throttle + clamp(Pitch,1-Pitch/9,Pitch/9) has the right effect? i dont really know

'this plane is far from perfect' (just casually gets 3rd/4th highest voted plane in a year)
+5@nikolashka oh course i didnt look at the blueprints xD
@MethaManAircraft I mean yeah the detailing is based off the dcs one
My laptop can't run dcs :(
@nikolashka looks like an LA-5/7?

@brians1209 tanks ill look later

@WNP78 @klm747klm747 ive been flying for about 6 hours so far (maybe about 4000 miles) no end in sight
+1@MiladicPlanes yes
i mean it may or may not have sent my computer to blue screen of death
actually no its working now
@lilgreen06 ahh yes i thiugh you had posted the build unlisted im getting confused with another situation sorry
could do vapour cone when passing through the sound barrier? @232297168147825
+1Ok... But where are the headlights?
There must be headlights now come on
i require tI just built one of these! xD
+1@lilgreen06 I'm gonna download it and have a look today hopefully and if i can get it to work I'll post unlisted and tag you?
@lilgreen06 what did you change in XML? Give me the exact syntax of each segment I don't have time right now to download it and go through it all
My latest plane had the same problem because I did
-1+...when I should have done(-1)+..., as an example of how picky it can beAlso the fact that you are using XML means you are in fact using funky trees, so you're on the right path and are just lacking the knowledge!
@Belloaka will be sure to

Remove drag physics as that really helps, also disable collisions if there are loads of moving parts as collisions are very laggy
