@WinsWings yeah back in the I don't know 50s and 60s when they had rumble seats, people were not concerned with safety or seat belts or anything like that. They were just off to the sock hop or the ice cream soda shop. Playing Elvis Presley on the jukebox
@X99STRIKER lol, I liked when people used to post the word "First" That always made me laugh. When I do see that on one of my posts , I ALWAYS pin the comment. Z :)
Of course I'm going to buy it. It has the original Yeet Detector, The Super Yeet Detector Versions 1 - 6. The German Yeet Plane, The Super Yeet Rocket, All of which are going to be collector's items. So Yep, I'm going to buy. I'm going to buy the VR version too....
@JuanShot2Go your welcome ! This is the best vehicle I've driven when it comes to LONG DISTANCE jumps. Is there something specific or special you did to stop
This vehicle from exploding after a HUGE jump ? @icecraftgaming @wolfhunter @andrewgarrison
@AndrewGarrison Thank you Andrew for the spotlight on the X-Wing, that is HUGE. I flew it in VR a few times and it's perfect for VR. The weapons. Targeting, and countermeasures are all programed into the yoke / throttle buttons
@AndrewGarrison Thank you for the upvote. It means a bunch to me. I feal that my best work is the final version of my X-Wing If you do have the time to fly it, before you take off, switch to orbit view and look at R2D2. Press activate 2 and you will see R2's computer interface connect with the X-Wing (Activates afterburners). Next, press activate 3 and this will put R2 in "Upset" mode. His Ion cannon will come out & he will constantly stare at the enemy you have targeted. He will also fire his Ion cannon (the most powerful weapon on the ship) He can aim it himself but he will only get you close. You still have to control the elevation of the shots. There is much much more to this build. Best HUD in Simple Planes via Guyfolk. Anticipation reticle, diamond shaped lock over target etc. Part of R2's head will pop-up and he will shoot rockets for ground targets, in air refueling, landing hook, automatic attack wing foils that will open and close based on speed. The list goes on and on. Finally, there is a system status display that shows the state of ALL system on the aircraft. I think it's my best work.
@X99STRIKER Your welcome and thanks for the kind words ! It's means a bunch to me that you enjoy my work. Sometimes I will spend an entire day on 1 small detail. For instance, I wasn't sure how many people were actually opening the attack wings. And, if you land with them open, it is easy to damage them. So now they open based on speed. But what took me so long was to get the display to automatically read the percentage of Extension of the wings at any given time. I really don't know coding but I am smart enough to make small modifications to the code and see the effect it had. Then I kind of just figure it out as I go.... Lol..... Z ;)
@MrCOPTY Thanks for copying me on this ! How did I miss this !?!? It's great ! I really like the cockpit with WORKING features. Reverse, little throttle / flap monitor to the left of the pilot. Engine on or off. This is really great work.
@Shimamurahougetsu @BuiltBionixInd10 thank you for the upvotes, I hope you can spare some time to fly it. R2-d2s ion cannon is a lot of fun in air to air combat. also the entire X-Wing really corners well. Thanks again. Z ;)
This new X-Wing (coming soon) will have reverse thrust. This will give it a ability to land from Mach .87 to zero in an incredibly short distance. It also has the ability to confuse missiles. The X-Wing can also pitch 90 degrees straight down and remain in a hover. This is known as the "Zaine Maneuver" lol @mrcarrot @wingsiron @winswings
@GuyFolk hilarious, I used to play microprose f117 stealth fighter , so it's close ! Another big one was the original privateer. I played that in college, God I would be up all night playing that thing !
@WowPlanes2ndAccount Thank you, wait until you see Version 4. Has reverse thrusters so powerful you can stay at 100% power, press reverse within 300 yards of the runway and come to a complete stop from 3/4 Mach 1 to Zero mph. It also has automatic X foils the will activate / deactivate based on speed. ( So you don't land with them extended by mistake. Part of R2's head pops up and shoots 18 rockets, he will also (once activated) become upset and continue to stare at the enemy that you are targeting. Furthermore, He has an Ion cannon w aim assist (you still have to do your part but he will get you close) and he will destroy air & ground targets. Finally, if you need a lot more speed, you will actually see R2's computer interface come out of R2, connect with the X-Wing's computer, the X-Wings remote panel will light up and the speed will more than double to about Mach 1.5. I tested in VR, it's just killer.... Z ;)
@JuanShot2Go I originally had a switch, my thought was people were probably not even bothering to open the wings. But more so, if the wings are left open, you could damage them upon landing. So it really is a tough call. So, I figured the sure way to make sure they are closed upon landing is to make it based on speed. (The wings will always be closed when you slow down to land) But don't think that I don't agree with you because I really do, it's the landing thing...... Z :)
@JuanShot2Go I appreciate that. I consider it my best build. I'm ironing out a new version I flew in VR today. The attack wings automatically extend based on speed & the display will show the amount of "Extension" as a percentage. To fully appreciate this build, use orbit mode and watch R2, shoot rockets from his head, use his computer to make the X-Wing go faster, & finally constantly stare at enemies getting ready to use his Ion cannon.
JuanShot2Go, This post is amazing (I spotlighted it & told some friends) I have a question regarding your Cycle targeting button. When I copied your code from the actual button into one of my old builds it didn't quite work 100% The button read "Arm" then when pressed, it read "Air", then when pressed again, instead of reading "Ground" (like it should have) it read "Air" Still. I ONLY copied the code from your button, not any code from your Variable Setters. Is there Code in your variable setters that I need as well ? This detail is REALLY nice and if I use it on ANY of my future builds, you will given credit. Also check out my latest build Here
@blackout404 Thanks for the upvote ! This version has an R2 unit that when activated will stare at enemies you are targeting and even shoot them with his Ion cannon. He also has rockets that will pop out of the top of his Head if killing tanks is your thing ! Press Here
I had no idea you were building a dragster. I saw some weird MrCarrot the other day and that's what made me think of making a dragster....dumb luck.......I downloaded one of your versions of your dragsters, wow really cool. It's funny how you and I both approached the flame issue the same way (with the nozzles) `
@GuyFolk Thanks, Yeah I already have another version of the X-Wing with new features but I don't know how much people can take. I mean yeesh , it's only been like 3 days since a launched the last version...... As far as the programming, I've been learning what the terms mean right ? Like IAS means airspeed, and VTOL and TRIM only go from -1 to 1, etc.. So I have been making changes to your formulas, observing results, and drawing conclusions. .. yep....
@winswings @mrcarrot @guyfolk @wingsiron You guys MUST try this ! If for nothing else to watch the Carburetor air intakes open and the headers spit flames. Carrot, you made some sort of car a number of days ago. The second I saw it, I thought........ Dragster ! !
@GuyFolk I took it down because I figured it out myself. It is discussed further down this page. I copied winswings , you, and Mr carrot. It's how I figured out how to get the x-wings to go into attack mode based on speed and how I'm manipulated the systems display to show the X-Wings in the amount they are open in terms of a percentage starting around 180 mph! Check the other loong comment
@Fadepug Thank you for the upvote ! You must try This X-Wing R2 has an Ion cannon the most powerful weapon on the ship and he can help in dog fighting and ground attacks. Press R2 D2, then press Cycle for attack mode (air to air etc) , then press WPN for ion cannon. R2 has aim assist but you still must help. It is so much fun dog fighting with R2's Ion cannon !
@AvalonIndustries Thank you for the upvote. Hopefully you had time to fly it. R2's Ion cannon is the most powerful weapon on the ship. It is so much fun in dog fighting.
@WinsWings Win, I am still working another version of the X-Wing. I have made the following changes. The X-wings spread apart now automatically based on speed. They start at about 180-200 mph. The reason is 2 fold. 1 you might forget to hit the button to go into attack mode or 2 you may forget to hit the button and LAND in attack mode (maybe damaging your wings) Next, (This took 3 hours for me to figure out) I know NOTHING about programming but I'm not an idiot either. I figured out how to have the system display show the Wings in Attack mode in terms of a percentage. 100% = Fully extended. On my screen it will read 0% until the X-Wings begin to spread at about 180 mph. Then by 300 or so, they are maxed at 100% This next part will knock your socks off (I couldn't believe it worked) I programed a beacon light ( That is next to the X-Wings in my systems panel) to begin to flash quicker than fast speed when the X-Wings begin to deploy , again around 180 pmh. It will continue to flash until the X-Wings close then it will stop flashing. HA ! ! How cool is that !! Anyways, these are all on yet ANOTHER build I'm working on. Later Boss man ! @guyfolk @mrcarrot
@SimpleAreospace I just noticed that the ram air opens in the rear automatically just like the real thing. What an awesome touch. Also "Dumb question" what is an "ag" and how do I toggle it ? Lol sorry....
