  • What qualifies an aircraft as an AI capable aircraft? 6 months ago

    technically all aircraft is AI capable.
    but the issue widens if you want the AI aircraft to spawn automatically

    generally, it is easier for AI aircrafts to fly with some form of control surface stabilization, because the AI model is too simplistic to be performing any advanced maneuvers.

    to make an aircraft auto-spawnable, the aircraft needs to have specifically <96 parts, and <7 wing parts (this includes structural panels). If otherwise, the aircraft won't spawn.

    to me, it isn't about showing the appeal to the masses, but rather just a thing I enjoy making myself.

    I still make replicas, it's still extremely fun to fly an aircraft I love the most. And the better part of it is I can just make my own livery without having to bother catering to other people's build style.

    that's only really my main appeal, and also the fact that nobody really makes simcadey feel to aircrafts I think it's just cool

  • Graingy Surveys: Companies on SimplePlanes.com 6 months ago

    Aurum Aerial Industries honestly was supposed to be a placeholder for an old 5th gen concept I had made

    the thing turned out to be pretty garbo so I decided to continue on the replica grind

    it wasn't until the block war challenge that I thought "making fictional is kinda neat."
    so I started making some.

    here I am.
    Aurum Aerial Industries is still relatively nameless, since it doesn't have a particular place to call home, but short answer about who they are is they just make planes. For god knows who

    I will agree, it's way too blurry

    also as a general rule of thumb, it's a much better result to only blur the background, if you plan on putting the blur effect on your pics.

    @JackWumbertson
    then you should keep your speed above that threshold by inserting power.
    as I said before, this aircraft is overloaded, so it is significantly heavier than it's supposed to be. The trick here is to spend your fuel first, apply airbrakes, and try to gently touch the aircraft down by paying attention to altitude and speed. Add power when speed is too slow, and add stick input when vertical speed is too fast.

  • [Simple] AAI T/F-44B Cendrawasih 6 months ago

    @JackWumbertson
    then the way you're landing the plane is wrong.

    ~180kts is about the perfect, if not slightly faster landing speed. Perhaps the problem with your technique is that you didn't pull enough Angle Of Attack to land the aircraft smoothly, resulting in a rapid descent that made the landing gears of the aircraft give up it's structural integrity.

    another point is that you might be landing with way too much mass loaded. Since I've noticed I overcompensated the fuel amount on this particular aircraft, it became significantly harder to maneuver the aircraft, thus harder to keep it in a good speed and AoA during landing.

    try to land the aircraft with about 40-60% fuel, 6° of AoA, and ~160kts of IAS. If it doesn't help, try pulling up the nose until you see the rate of your descent slowing down.

  • What's your Favourite Plane? 6 months ago

    @PlanerIndustries9
    the thing is

    that same technology has already became obsolete the moment the F-16 went into production.

    Swing Wings are primarily built as a way to figure out how to smoothly transition to stability at high speeds, and maneuverability at low speeds. Since no technology at the moment has that effect, the F-14 made use of the swing wing so it can dogfight as a way to defend itself.
    but the thing is, swing wings are expensive, maintenance heavy and complicated. Though this very feature was beloved by fans and pilots, it wasn't the maintenance crew's favorite thing to work on.

    what did the F-16 do to make swing wings obsolete? simple. Fly-by-Wire.
    Fly-By-Wire is by far the safest, most advanced, and most reliable control system in all of aviation. Since all controls the pilot have inputted has to go through a computer first, the aircraft essentially controls itself with the assist of the pilot. This makes unstable aircrafts that are normally impossible for pilots to fly normally like the F-16 and the Typhoon flyable rather smoothly and easily.

    and you might be wondering "why make aircrafts unstable in the first place?" well, lack of stability in an aircraft increases it's maneuverability. This isn't always true, but that is the simplest explanation on how why aircrafts such as the Viper is designed to be unstable.

    wow, I haven't even talked about the tomcat's capabilities compared to the eagle. Modern day fights aren't just being fast and maneuverable, hell this is the exact reason why the F-35 is the most advanced aircraft on the market. But if you weren't bored of listening to my speech about why the swing wing is not the best thing and want me to speak about more "nonsense", let me know your argument.

  • What's your Favourite Plane? 6 months ago

    bold of you to assume the F-14 is an easy to use dogfighter that can kick anyone's asses

    it's main mission isn't even to dogfight things

    anyway for me it's the F-15EX not because for it's name but because of it's ingenuity

    the problem is that that's near the limit of how much I can make it pull without breaking the PEA ruleset and I didn't really wanna bother with getting it right cause I've had too much trouble with it in the first place lmao

    tbf though, I might change it, performance kinda sucked compared to other aircrafts and I do have a problem with it

    it does matter
    not by a lot, but it does matter.

    as I always say when I describe upvote points, I think of it as a review system.
    high upvote count means a build is considered a good one, something people should look out for.
    while a high point user is one you should also expect to have good reputation for making good builds.

  • Are one part canopies essential for mobile friendly builds? what's your opinion? 7 months ago

    the site constitutes mobile friendly as being below 300 parts, so honestly it's not essential, given how you can also save part counts with being conservative with your glass fuselage.

    imho, you should only really use 1 block canopy parts when you're pushing part efficiency to it's near limit or when you're really lazy.
