  • Multi-Fuselage Challenge result 5.2 years ago

    I live in UTC+8 and it's already 9AM, 15 December 2019 here.

  • Multi-Fuselage Challenge result 5.2 years ago

    @CrashFighter05 I said 12/15 00:00 UTC, which is one hour ago.

  • A super rudimentary guide on how to make the basic gauges (will be updated) 5.2 years ago

    @IStoleYourMeme Possible reason:
    1. space between the symbols
    2. you used .03 instead of 0.03 which causes the system to require the space
    for your reference the altitude I'm using does not require spaces between the / and the functions and numbers

  • OUTDATED: Input System Explanation & Tutorial ("Funky Trees") [SP 1.9] 5.2 years ago

    @SnoWFLakE0s I have examples like GS work without space but IAS doesn't.... weird.

  • OUTDATED: Input System Explanation & Tutorial ("Funky Trees") [SP 1.9] 5.2 years ago

    @CoolPeach So perhaps it's the matter of exactly which function you're using...

  • OUTDATED: Input System Explanation & Tutorial ("Funky Trees") [SP 1.9] 5.2 years ago

    @SnoWFLakE0s Actually, they do.
    clamp(sin(PitchAngle-AngleOfAttack)*GS/600, -1, 1)
    (this is a formula for cabin vertical speed)
    has the exact same effect with or without the space before and after the -, * and /.
    Even omitting the space behind the comma doesn't affect the result.

  • OUTDATED: Input System Explanation & Tutorial ("Funky Trees") [SP 1.9] 5.2 years ago

    Also, I've been using "RollAngle/180" without spaces, no problem at all...

  • OUTDATED: Input System Explanation & Tutorial ("Funky Trees") [SP 1.9] 5.2 years ago

    • PitchAngle - The pitch of the aircraft (degrees) (0~360)
    • RollAngle - The roll of the aircraft (degrees) (0~360)
    • Heading - The heading of the aircraft (degrees) (0~360)

    Actually I think they are -180~+180 instead of 0-360.
    If you make a compass and turn your plan through south, your compass will abruptly turn all the wrong way until it found your correct heading (i.e. it will not turn through 180 degrees.
    Same for roll angle.

    @CrashFighter05 Oh yeah, I forgot you don't need to clamp the fuel function.

    @CrashFighter05 Does the input match what I said? if not I have to correct it.

  • Cannons explode when fired 5.2 years ago

    From my experience this usually happens when you scale the cannon smaller and the full-sized shell impact something on its way out...

  • Funky Trees! 5.2 years ago

    I would like to suggest a "changerate" function (differential)
    For example, the change rate of altitude would be vertical speed
    the change rate of heading would be turning rate (used for turn coordinator)

  • Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero-sen 5.2 years ago

    @pancelvonat I hope you do understand that "I remember...." sometimes can also mean that "I am not entirely sure but I have an impression that..."
    think about...
    私の記憶によるでは
    or something like that. (I'm bad in Japanese).

    Like I said I'm bad at Japanese so you should probably expect a number of wrong Japanese here...

    日本語のwikipediaでは、52型の翼端は”切り捨て (丸形)"などと記入しています
    多分僕は”切り捨て”だけを覚えて、そして”切り捨てならば元の丸形は無くすはず”などと判断して、そのせいで間違ったと思います。
    英語は君にとっても、僕にとっても母語じゃないので、いろいろの誤解になったではないかと思います。英語では、コメントの最後に”end”、”period"とか書いたら、相手は簡単に”俺はもうお前と話したくない”という意味と理解される。そして向こうは”どうしてこいついきなり怒ったんだろう”と疑問が出ます。

    とにかく、52型は切り捨てかつ丸形、そして君のあの”end"は悪意がない、これらをお互いに理解したら、今回の件はこれでいいだろう?
    僕も時々日本製航空機を作るから、良かったらこちらにも参考しませんか?

  • Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero-sen 5.2 years ago

    @pancelvonat Oh, okay. It's fine as long as the misunderstanding is solved.
    Your English is good, except of course that particular usage of "end".

  • Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero-sen 5.2 years ago

    @pancelvonat I mean for one instance I thought I remembered it wrong as in that M52's wingtips were NOT cut.
    In reality it WAS cut, but they ALSO rounded it.
    What do you mean "end"? Did I offend you? I didn't.

  • Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero-sen 5.2 years ago

    @pancelvonat Ah so I did remember the right thing, M52 do have wingtips cut, but they also rounded it, not just leaving it straight.

  • Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero-sen 5.2 years ago

    @pancelvonat I know Model 32 is square, I remembered that M5X was also square but I think I've mistaken. They are removable but not square when wingtips are on.

  • Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero-sen 5.2 years ago

    Suggestion: remove the wingtip.
    A6M5 is Zero fighter Model 5X series (usually Model 52) which features square wings (they removed the foldable wingtip from the earlier A6M2

    @klm747klm747 Don't mind, my most upvoted post is my slowest, biggest and weakest (being unarmed) aircraft.

  • ASE-15 Star Injector 5.2 years ago

    Yes this is legit

  • Kawanishi H11K Soku (1001st Sq. w/ Type 94 x3) 5.2 years ago

    @Zanedavid Yes I would guess so as well. Some sources claim that KX-03 would be nicknamed "Choukai Yama" which is against all naming regulations in the IJN.

  • Why drifting is hard in SP 5.2 years ago

    @TrislandianAlliance You know, in earlier racing games before the term "drifting" came in from Japanese, "drifting" was referred to as "powerslide" exactly.

  • Why drifting is hard in SP 5.2 years ago

    I just drifted a 47-ton flying boat with no trouble yesterday (all you need is to turn off engine on one side)

  • Kawanishi H11K Soku (1001st Sq. w/ Type 94 x3) 5.2 years ago

    @Zanedavid I can't find japanese data about the KX-03, there are even some Japanese blog posts stating that they only heard about the KX-03 from non-Japanese sources.

    The H11K, on the other hand, at least had a wooden full size model.

  • Kawanishi H11K Soku (1001st Sq. w/ Type 94 x3) 5.2 years ago

    @ChiChiWerx Well I kept the pitch mostly because I don't have much choice, I need the throttles to be fully reversible so that I can reverse my way out of the beach once the landing operation is complete.

    I could've made a constant-speed propeller setup like my Ki-93, but that won't help much because the VTOL control is still occupied.

    I'm glad you like it anyway.

  • [Teaser] Obviously my plane is considered "destroyed" once everyone's on shore... 5.2 years ago

    @BlackhattAircraft this is the newer version of the plane you are interested in.

  • [Teaser] Obviously my plane is considered "destroyed" once everyone's on shore... 5.2 years ago

    @Noname918181 Yeah and if you see my other works, one ROC (Chinese nationalist; Taiwan) roundel is 15 parts. One Communist Chinese roundel would be about 11.

    Japanese roundel is really the easiest roundel...

  • [Teaser] Obviously my plane is considered "destroyed" once everyone's on shore... 5.2 years ago

    @Nerfenthusiast I will, but the Japanese roundel is literally just two circles.

  • [Teaser] Obviously my plane is considered "destroyed" once everyone's on shore... 5.2 years ago

    @thefalkenreich @Noname918181
    Noname is right, the real thing never had a turret. You can see plans about an armed version of H11K but none are official (mostly fiction by foreign historians)
    Plus, this thing has a 5 man crew, 2 pilots, one flight engineer, one loadmaster, one loader, there's no room for gunner.

    Also I have already expanded all the activation groups even without a single turret.
    AG1: Bow door, releases vehicle #1 after 5 seconds
    AG2: Fowler flap extend
    AG3: Fowler flap rotate
    AG4: Left engine engage
    AG5: Right engine engage (for turning on water)
    AG6: #2 vehicle release and engine on
    AG7: #3 vehicle release and engine on
    AG8: #1 vehicle engine on (released by AG1 with delay because AG8 is default on)

    VTOL has to work both as propeller pitch and vehicle throttle
    Trim is landing ramp.

    You can see that I'm already pretty tight on the activation groups...

  • Multi-fuselage Aircraft Challenge 5.2 years ago

    @FlyingThings Yeah you probably have to make the three fuselages more similar to be considered "identical and repeating".

    It's fine, many of the entries actually don't qualify as well, I think I'll just use the backup plan and reflect that on the "reserved" 20 points instead of simply disqualifying them.

    In a challenge, fun comes first, then competition.

  • [Teaser] Rikugun Ki-93 (Flying 31st Sentai, "White 1") 5.3 years ago

    @ThePrototype The plane is already out, though it's not really Me 163 cockpit... it's more like an original cockpit made to fit the needs and possibilities in SP

  • Rikugun Ki-93 (31st Sentai "White 1") 5.3 years ago

    @Mustang51 I tried to make it look more like the real Ha-214 engine but that would make the cylinders (rotaters) almost invisible... In the end I chose to show off the cylinders over recreating the looks of Ha-214, lol.

  • Rikugun Ki-93 (31st Sentai "White 1") 5.3 years ago

    @Mustang51 Uhh the engine IS actually customized... kind of.
    Each engine consist of 12 cosmetic cylinders, 12 cowl flaps and 12 cowl flap rotaters. The actual engine is on the front.

    The cowl flaps are programmed to automatically close when the speed reaches 200mph.
