@ThomasRoderick hmm. Maybe we should try a different code structure. I'm somewhat skeptical of that sum function. We can have the parachute activate when all groups but 8 are activated with logical operators. Perhaps this: Activate1 & Activate2 & Activate3 & Activate4 & Activate5 & Activate6 & Activate7 & (-1 * Activate8)
Not sure if this will work, but who knows.
When in doubt, check for parenthesis - I have finished builds that have still had parenthesis errors.
.
If everything has proper syntax, then my guess would be that the sum function works different on mobile. Perhaps it uses a different time step to integrate over?
Your average upvote count is actually quite high. Your last two posts, though, have screenshots that do not display the design adequately. A screenshot must look good, and show enough of the design to get people to click.
Well, the vast majority of protests are quite peaceful, and it is pretty clear that they are protesting for police reform. Riots are bad, and some have occurred, but also keep in mind that riots are (99% of the time) consequences of institutional failure. Also, police reform would undoubtedly result in less police being killed in action. Of course, we can talk about this through discord if you want. Last time we did I had to go on a few tangents lol

I just want the war on drugs to end for god’s sake.
Just finished downloading - good job! Lots of nice little details. Those hinges have some nice funky trees too :). Of course, my political opinions still stand, and I mentioned them once again because this comments section would be an echo chamber otherwise. I hope I wasn't too inappropriate. Anyway, take care man - great build!
Nice build! Those who are concerned about the well-being of law enforcement organizations may want to read this unclassified FBI report.

@PrinceZuko I posted a version of the AXIS system before this build. As for the LUNA system, you can use the technical documentation to code the thrusters as needed.
Bruh moment' is a blanket term for all situations that merit a reaction, whether that be shock, awe, or any other strongly felt emotion. In these such situations one must exclaim 'Bruh!', typically in a low tone of voice. Typically only men will exclaim using the word 'bruh', however, the S.O.B. (Society of Bruh) is a progressive union full of verified gamer bros and care not whether man nor woman exclaims with the word 'bruh'.
A bruh moment can include these situations:
Man 1: "Karen took the kids again! I don't think I'll ever see them again!"
The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) is a finite element formulation in which the computational system is not a prior fixed in space (e.g. Eulerian-based finite element formulations) or attached to material (e.g. Lagrangian-based finite element formulations). ALE-based finite element simulations can alleviate many of the drawbacks that the traditional Lagrangian-based and Eulerian-based finite element simulations have.
When using the ALE technique in engineering simulations, the computational mesh inside the domains can move arbitrarily to optimize the shapes of elements, while the mesh on the boundaries and interfaces of the domains can move along with materials to precisely track the boundaries and interfaces of a multi-material system.
ALE-based finite element formulations can reduce to either Lagrangian-based finite element formulations by equating mesh motion to material motion or Eulerian-based finite element formulations by fixing mesh in space. Therefore, one finite element code can be used to perform comprehensive engineering simulations, including heat transfer, fluid flow, fluid-structure interactions and metal-manufacturing.
@TheChosenOne Each thruster is designed to fire in the opposite direction of the aircraft’s rotation. This counteraction of rotation makes the aircraft stable.
@QuantausAviation The system on Orbis is the simplest version of that system. Feel free to take it from the build - just be sure to give appropriate credit!
Not sure why I didn’t get the notification, but this looks awesome! Thanks for tagging me even if the site hid it from me. Did you get these concept art images from any online source in particular? I just use google images (most of the designs are trash), so if there is a better source for good art I am listening.

I wouldn’t call it a debate, but sure. Unlisted posts should work, but discord PMs are better. Maybe I can PM both of you on discord (i.e. group chat with the three of us)? I’d really like to get your perspectives, and see how your data backs up your conclusion. Of course, I will refute what I see as incorrect. I will return home from some traveling tonight, so I’ll PM you then.
.
As a disclaimer that I would like to make public, I respect both of you quite a bit. I will not be mudslinging or namecalling. Cancel culture is dumb so let’s not engage in it. I want to have a productive conversation and see where the facts take us.
Nice to see that the pot hasn’t been stirred too much here. I expected otherwise. I did see one of your comments about research that indicates no disproportionate use of lethal force - can you tell me what study/article you looked at to reach this conclusion? It seems like we have conflicting data here, and I’d like to get your perspective. Feel free to respond via an unlisted post if you wish. I’d say that we are both mature enough to discuss these topics, but that does not apply to the rest of the community. If you don’t want to have a conversation atm, that’s cool too.
@MercuryCorporation Sounds good, and ty! Building from scratch is definitely more satisfying, so you’re right on that point. When talking to people about this engine, I assume that they aren’t familiar with calculus (or diffeq), so I default to having them take the engine as a subassembly.
@Crazy0 This build is definitely Ephwurds! We have actually collabbed a few times, too. Though those collab builds are old, I still think that they are pretty good.
@MercuryCorporation Go for it! Feel free to rip the engine out of Edo-45 and save it to your subassemblies. Please not that, with any upload that involves this specific engine design (mainly the Funky Trees that I used), I do appreciate credit where appropriate.
Haha who actually cares about stuff like this though?
.
Honestly I would have never been aware of this build’s existence if people didn’t make these posts.
@PETG Sounds good. The line of code shouldn’t be too hard for me to craft. One last question: with what frequency does the magnet turn off and on? In other words, how long does it stay off (or on) before it alternates?
@PETG Do you want it to alternate indefinitely? Or do you want it to alternate when you use an activation group. In other words, should the magnet activate over-and-over when you press an activation group, or should it unconditionally alternate betweeen 1 and 0?
Looks like you significantly improved from the old model! For this one, I would suggest some sort of custom landing gear. I know that landing gear design is boring, but it is also really useful. Also be sure to move the hind landing gear closer to the CoL.
.
Anyway, good work! My criticism is meant to be helpful.
@rexzion I guess I do lol. Feel free to use this flight system for your plane! Just give credit where appropriate. I can also answer some questions if needed, too.
As we can see, King Bach has presented a rather large spoon to his friend. The humor in this video stems from the fact that King Bach would like to eat ice cream but his friend retorts at him, saying he can only have a spoon full, nothing more. Bach then suddenly changes his expression and body language and reveals that he is indeed in possession of a spoon. And not just any spoon, it is a massive stainless steel spoon. This is funny because you would never expect someone to just be casually in possession of a massive spoon to eat ice cream with. It is completely unorthodox and uncalled for. This is why the video is so humorous and was put on the 2012 Epic Vine compilation playlist on Youtube.
Oh, ok my understanding was completely wrong lol. I would have to do a lot of testing to get the right code.
