You cannot get the CoG from blueprints or 3D models since they don't tell you what exactly is in a plane. You cannot assume that a plane has a constant density.
However, civilian planes might have publicly available documents related to weight characteristics and balancing, which you can use to get the CoG
@WritersCrusadersAirCo2 you're actually good when it comes to using drawings in plane posts. Basically everyone else steals art (especially in the 2d graphics scene), so it's good to see original art on planes
PC is good for screenshotting and map mods. Working with variables and labels is easier. You can regex edit (although you can still do it on some android phones). But all other building is terrible
.
Mods that i actually use:
The orthographic blueprint mod, since it's easier to use than the in-game one (no combining images required)
Nuerburgerking for car builders (and also for farmland background xdd)
The clouds mods (only use when taking screenshots)
I think that text-based definition and runtime generation of gauge faces should be easy to implement
I also want circular and bar-shaped meters for digital displays. The circular ones can't be done without moving parts or massive labels. The bar ones are reasonable but still more convoluted than necessary
You need the mod tools from the game install. It's the game folder in Program Files, not AppData
Or you can just yoink the Jundroo folder from the source code of a somewhat recent mod
I have only ever seen one person playing sp irl and i just grinned to myself xdd
I use sp outside, even on the laptop if i have it, and don't really think about it. I have opened my sp profile and other sites that are connected to it
Pros:
- more comfortable if you are already a mac guy
- cheaper if you need a mac and cannot buy another pc just for gaming
.
Cons:
- apple hardware related tomfoolery (you cannot switch parts or companies)
- something like 2 small useless mods cannot work on mac (tbf they also might not work on linux via wine) (i know they are useless because i made them)
This is an approximation that only works in steady conditions. It over-reports any spikes in aircraft rotation velocity, so I would use some kind of damping function with it.
If assuming a "normal" plane, car, etc. (no hovering or drifting/PSM), then x- and y-components of velocities are small ==> velocity = z-component.
Finally, for planes, assume z-component is always positive, so we can just use GS.
Idk how to get velocity components in a way that isn't affected by wind, or that requires very long formulas and suffers from floating point loss of significance. But i guess you can assume wind speed is small as well
.
Static rotational component (by convention, positive when gravity acts against that direction)
x: cos(PitchAngle) * sin(RollAngle)
y: cos(PitchAngle) * cos(RollAngle)
z: sin(PitchAngle)
Magnitude of the static rotational component will always be 1 (or Newton will break your kneecaps)
.
Dynamic rotational component (positive when centripetal acceleration is in that direction)
x: GS * YawRate * (pi/180) / 9.81
y: GS * -PitchRate * (pi/180) / 9.81
z: 0
(If you have individual components of GS, you will find that each component is affected by two GS-rotation pairs)
.
Translational component
(If you have the individual components, you should use them)
x: 0
y: 0
z: rate(GS) / 9.81
if you have sp on pc, or you can access the xml files on your phone (old versions of android only), you can use a very fast method to remove drag that's already there
I have both a phone and a laptop. I only use my phone for building now, it crashes randomly in the simulation. My laptop can probably run 2000 parts on high physics, since it's a semi gaming or workstation design
separate it from the plane completely, use scale selected parts OFF and relative scale ON
this also means you must re-attach the fuselage art, if it was previously attached to a plane
it used to be a feature, then it got removed
maybe it was removed because it was buggy, you usually see some duplicated characters around the read more point
@Sparks365 i never considered making a cockpit for this
maybe when i eventually make the next one, it will have a cockpit, and will not be vr compatible as i can only put airbrakes on foot pedals
how will this affect the stalk market

+2build it using fuselage (as others said), and for extra points it must be your own drawing
The dev console can only edit GameObjects. You can use Fog Changer mod
