    It might be partially possible with mods

    Maybe it should be a toggleable option, for certain things you shouldn't stop

  • Tips on building techniques with fuselage blocks? 6.7 years ago

    Paneling (working with thin shapes formed by fuselage blocks, try height 0.01) can be used to get around many aircraft shape limitations. It's great for a faceted design.

    You can also panel with curved and circular fuselage blocks to produce large, smooth, non-standard circular shapes

  • Tank cannon tutorial 7.8 years ago

    Bomb systems are not limited in ammo. They use the detach force of the detacher they are connected to, as long as it is active. Thus, you can have as many bombs you want, at a part count of 2-3 per bomb depending on how you build. The system only uses up one AG.
    I have made a cannon like this with 16 shots, and spefyjerbf has one with 17 shots.
    ONLY USE AGs WHEN YOU MUST EASILY PROGRAM THE FIRING SEQUENCE OF BOMBS, LIKE IN A BOMB REVOLVER!

    Also the gun system sucks as there is no splash damage and no bullet drop

  • [BUG] It Always Be This Annoying 12 days ago

    put a large part wider than your entire plane, then you can control the X and Z center (but if you use the fuselage menu, you have to exit the designer to reset it)

  • Just a survey for my school project :v one month ago

    1. The ability to fly, alternatively the amount of blood in the pilot (less is better)
    2. NullReferenceException: The variable "following" does not exist in the current context
    3. They should be upgraded whenever significant upgrades are available. The oldest should be replaced with the newest only when they cannot be feasibly maintained anymore, because buying new is quite expensive.

  • The Alper 5 months ago

    Small notes since i was tagged
    - instrument panel is usually much larger on this class of aircraft, and the small panel also gives rise to an abnornally large windshield, but it can be explained away as being futuristic
    - dark blue sections being disjointed is a bit strange, it might be better to extend the upper side coloring all the way to the tail
    - stepped tail design is suboptimal (tm) for aero and cargo space, but is also interesting and looks like a submarine hunter

  • If a plane is on a Conveyor belt can it fly? 7 months ago

    I assume that the rolling resistance between the plane and conveyor belt is constant and small compared to thrust. The conveyor belt will have almost no effect.
    .
    If you can put a car in neutral at low speeds, where drag is very small, the acceleration will mostly be from rolling resistance.
    .
    If you put a plane with brakes off on a conveyor belt and gradually start the conveyor belt from rest, the plane should accelerate very slowly from rolling resistance. The acceleration is in the direction that the conveyor belt is moving.
    .
    If the conveyor belt is moving forwards, you can apply the brake to reach the same speed as the conveyor belt without using the engine.
    .
    If the conveyor belt is fast enough, you can approach takeoff speed, but rolling resistance (and friction during braking) are proportional to normal reaction force of the belt on the plane, which is equal and opposite to weight of the plane on the belt. The normal force will be zero somewhere around takeoff speed, so speed is asymptomatic at the takeoff speed (if drag is ignored). You cannot exceed the takeoff speed unless you do something that reduces lift first, like pitching down or retracting flaps.
    .
    The above paragraphs assume that air is static. If you want to consider it, there should be a small effect from the no-slip property of fluids, where the air touching the belt moves at the same speed of the belt. This will affect the takeoff speed if the conveyor belt is fast enough, and the wings are low enough.
    .
    Conclusion: You can still take off if you have thrust, but not if you have no thrust
    .
    tl;dr 👆🤓, i am bored rn

  • Do you Love or Hate PEA? 10 months ago

  • Do you Love or Hate PEA? 10 months ago

    As an artist-type person, i slightly hate PEA since a lot of them look very bad, not necessarily as in inaccurate or unrealistic, but rather, visibly rough and low quality
    Quick check of recent PEA (very small sample size):
    - fuselage that has like 3 parts in a line, i joke to myself that my tris are visible but this is too much
    - [point partially taken back] airbrake that can be made with fuselage cutting (which will make it have FEWER parts), but instead the builder made a rectangular-ish 3 part panel that looks very rough (The airbrake actually uses just one airbrake part, but it sticks out from a circular fuselage when retracted)
    Additional (about 2 days of newest):
    - semi-circular intake on a replica of a well-known stealth plane xdd (there is no way to build that shape with 1 part, just use a few more)
    - allegedly using a lot of wing parts to make a curved wingtip (i didn't download but a commenter called it out)
    - the common pet peeves, like blue or chrome windows, etc

  • Elliptical grip model 1.2 years ago

    But seriously, programming has this stuff called dependencies, where you rely on others' code. Some company made some changes and along the way you lose mobile mods

  • community updates? 1.2 years ago

    @Yish42 @Majakalona the reason why mobile cannot use mods is because the scripting backend (il2cpp) cannot import new code at runtime. If mods are permanently in the game, they are imported beforehand and mod activation just toggles whether they work
    It's why you can use fine tuner and overload on mobile

  • How much parts are considered "low parts"? 1.5 years ago

    For me, 1000 is currently my "normal parts" so low parts might be 500
    Devs also used to take 5000 cost as vr friendly, but still can be quite heavy. That can be 1000-2000 parts to hit it, depending on number of gizmos

  • Is it possible to make plane stable with lift airfoils 1.9 years ago

    You can only passively balance a plane for a certain speed. Below that speed you will pitch down, above it you will pitch up. That's why trim exists

  • Is there's a a way to turn on/off an HUD text or flight instruments hud text using Funky Trees? 2.2 years ago

    If the label doesn't use the alpha tag, you can use it to hide all text
    You can also try to put a line at the beginning with 0% line-height, and switch to a large line-height to hide text

  • Why doesn't "Ground Speed" factor in AoA?? 3.4 years ago

    Relative to the ground is a bit misleading, more accurately it's relative to any fixed point and the velocity vector includes the vertical component.
    GS is only different from TAS when there is wind, because TAS is relative to wind. IAS is also relative to wind.
    .
    You can try it:
    GS = sqrt( pow(rate(Latitude),2) + pow(rate(Altitude),2) + pow(rate(Longitude),2) )
    Horizontal GS = sqrt( pow(rate(Latitude),2) + pow(rate(Longitude),2) ) = GS * abs(cos(PitchAngle))
