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.
Nice build! Those who are concerned about the well-being of law enforcement organizations may want to read this unclassified FBI report.

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!"
@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.
Tbh having your name connected to your SP account isn’t too bad of a thing. It’s not like you have any posts that would reflect too badly on your character. Of course, you do you - if you are uncomfortable with your name being on the internet, then feel free to do something about it!
@Hellosss38 But also.... it’s a game. I get it that y’all are passionate, but you gotta take a step back and look at yourselves. You are getting worked up over internet points. This applies to a good amount of people in this comments section - I’m not trying to single you out here.
@ThomasRoderick Multivariable Calc was probably my most enjoyable time with pure math (I prefer physics because it’s more tangible). The error calculation on Orbid was a metric that I kindof made up. It was some Calc 1 (mean value theorem) stuff that let me measure the difference between my thrust curves.
.
I think that the error propagation that bacon was talking about is used in labs in uni. If you are using a formula to calculate something from experimental data, then you take a bunch of partials, square them, and take a square root of their sum. Might be different. I braindumped that info a few months ago.
@Makerofplanes It is. I do not believe, though, that this attention is undeserved. The flight system, alone, took me about 10 hours to complete. This build was a month-long project that is, by my standards, incredibly intricate. Feel free to take a look at the complete technical documentation to see what I’m talking about.
@Flightsonic Definitely. The conditional statement, in the function that I call the bidirectional delay, really just changes how fast the smooth function rises or falls. In most applications, it is best to have the function fall really fast. However, the function can be generalized to have any rise or fall rate. Just replace the big number (pow(10,10)) with another rate.
.
For things like landing gear doors, using a different rise and fall rate can be pretty useful. I think I used similar logic on my weapons bay doors on Orbidyn-L. Don’t remember entirely though.
@BuiltBionixInd10 Not sure what the context was, but yeah - I wouldn’t be a good choice for mod. Not enough activity, and my behavior isn’t as stellar as the mods.
@XenoMorphic The best way to make a stable VTOL is to align your upward thrust with your CoM, and then add a strong gyro. Note that the gyro will require some tweaking - a gyro that is too powerful will be unstable.
.
As for stability when aiming, the upwards thrust is designed to rotate with respect to the aircraft’s pitch angle.
@JCweirdo Unfortunately not, but it’s high ground clearance let’s it go pretty deep. The shallow main bay of Maywar, for example, is shallow enough for the Nomad to drive.
Trying to click the scale parts button on FT only to realize that I missed, pressed undo, and now have to re-do everything that I just typed into overload.

+2Experiment and have fun!
+2@ThomasRoderick Yes. It can be used in many areas! Hopefully some futuristic creators decide to use this system in the future.
+2@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.
+2All drama is dumb.

+2Nice wing placement. What made you go for this shape and placement? I'm curious about your design intent/process :)
+2Laughs in FT flight system

+2Using Throttle * sign(cos(900 * time)) might give you the behavior that you want.
+2@Tums Ty! This one was a wild ride, and I'm quite proud of the math behind it.
+2Haha funny number

@BaconAircraft I remember the one time that I actually used error propagation. Bad times lol
+2I was lurking at the right time! First.
+2The livery looks very nice.
+2@ThomasRoderick Yeah. I think my unity broke so I needed to fix it. I also had no idea how to use unity then either.

@jamesPLANESii Don't worry! All of the written stuff will be in the upload's description.
+2Good work! Based on the comments, there are many ways to do this. I suppose it all goes to preference and implementation.

As cool as it is, multiplayer is most likely never going to happen. Customizable bombs would be nice though!
+2Export to .obj can be done easily within your maya client: useful link

+2@Kriv380 Thank you! They are even more fun to design.
+2@Mxv87 Ah, that would be a pretty cool project! I’m definitely going to consider that.
+2@Tums Thank you! And no worries.
+2Thank you! I’m glad that I inspired you to create this beauty.
+2Excellent, especially considering that this is your first build! I think I’m gonna press that follow button.
+2Nice. Do you (or will you) have any of the CAD screenshots from Fusion? Those would be pretty interesting.

+2Would a testbed plane with mounted weapons count for an entry?
+2@PvPSky Thanks! Try to cut weight, and use a gyro to maintain stability.
+2Looks great! I haven’t tested it, but my only criticism at the moment is that the main rotor looks a bit too small.
+2Looks like RP to me.
+2@randomusername You probably can! Orbid wasn’t designed for ATA combat.
+2@ThomasRoderick I did a sneaky edit to my comment to improve it.
+2Eh, not really - most of us just like to chill and build stuff.
+2Great looks, and the part count isn’t too high either!
+2@Hyattorama Thanks! It probably wouldn’t work IRL, due to how airfoils are shaped, but I think it’s still pretty neat.
+2The mods page can be found under “stuff”
+2I like the color scheme!
+2@randomusername Awesome. If you don't mind me asking, what parts does it use? I still haven't been able to find one.
+2Thank you! Now I can link people to this post instead of trying to explain the formatting.
