May I take the main gun and the 30mm guns and modify them slightly for my own ship? I would credit you in the desc. But it's ok if you say no. If you don't respond I won't use them.
btw this is an awesome recreation of the Type 45
@CB76565 Thanks for the tips. I set "zeroOnDeactivation" for the rotors to "true," which deleted the XML property, but for me they still take forever to stop rotating at 0% throttle. Regarding the CoM, I also think that setting the mass of the asymmetric parts on the solar panel unit to 0 would also help balance it, as well as centering the cockpit. You're right about gyroscopic stability 250% actually being more stable than 500%, I thought a higher value would be better but I guess not lol
@Karzigg i may or may not have used the fact that not all of the Type 45s have harpoons, plus the fact they're going to be removed anyway by 2023 as an excuse not to add them lol
@Sweppingkid29withsp Mars has an atmosphere. Sure, less than 1% the density of Earth's, but nevertheless an atmosphere. And where there's an atmosphere there's a possibility of powered flight. Ingenuity is named what it is because of the creativity the team put into the helicopter so that it may fly in such conditions.
@Reeeeeeeeeeee45 Maybe, the rover obviously is a lot more detailed than the helicopter, and I would need to either scale down the whole helicopter, or make a huge Perseverance based on this one. I've never made a rover before, so I guess it would be interesting
center of mass is located close to the front, due to the heavy nose engine, which makes it almost overrun the runway on takeoff since the nose is pushed down, maybe making bigger wings to increase lift could help;
larger elevators would help make the plane more sensitive to pitch;
Seems like the cannons aren't reattached to the pitch rotators, also I personally would set them to multi-role so you can still shoot at airplanes (and if you did this add back aiming views and crosshairs to make it easier to aim). Other than that it's already much more powerful than the AI destroyers lol
@Whydoesthismatter Basically the 2 rotators (the one on the bottom controlling the yaw and the one on the side controlling the pitch) for their inputs use code with the help of Funky Trees. You can read this to learn how it works, but basically it's something that let's us use math and trig to calculate different things such as the lead of a target. (It's not important specifically for this flak gun since it uses missiles and not a gun, the rotators I basically just copied straight from this design)
Thanks for 69 upvotes
+3The design looks pretty simple to me, it's basically just a really dumbed down Arleigh Burke mixed with a Tico (?) (The backward cannon)
+3@Ilikeacecombat sure :)

@Urya Oh yeah, damperMultiplier will probably work, I'll try to work around with this later when I have time.
Also, do you think the heavy weight is also why the ship continues to turn a bit after you release yaw input?

+1lol I just realized the bottom rotor is floating a bit, don't you love it when you attach parts and there's still some space between them
+1wow very epik 5/5 would recommend buying

@Aviationannex Very cool that you served on one of these ships!
@WDRoosevelt Thank you :) I'm pretty new to shipbuilding so I'm still not at the level where I can make my own weapons lol
ok
it can land
lie it doesn't fly
@WolfHunter9111 my computer would likely melt, if not explode from the sheer size of it
@ThatOneThiccPlaneStealer it should work on mobile too
@Sweppingkid29withsp I don't know what you mean. You can look up videos on how Ingenuity works, like I said there's an atmosphere on Mars.

@Vcash why
e
Anti Air Trapezoidal Prism 4.0
@ThatOneThiccPlaneStealer spawn your selected victim aircraft, switch to AirtoAir mode and activate ag 1, lock the aircraft;
finally, switch camera view to the hammer - (recommended) and launch the hammer and watch nono commiter go banland 10000 years
i updated the desc to include these in-depth detailed instructions

@Vcash ok

lol i probably could've made it Mjölnir but I decided to make it ban hammer because

other than that it's
C H O N K@Ryantopp It's a missile, you can't manually fly it unfortunately lol (if you mean how to activate and launch it, refer to the description)
pilot go in engine again@Vcash yes
why is this named after me-
make plane angerybig boi

working weapons version
thanks for all of your recommendations to make ships more stable
