Missile engine ignition

25.5k Mustang51  4.1 years ago

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is an XML input where you can delay the missile ignition from the time that it has been fired, giving it time to drop. I do not mean the “firingDelay” input by the way. If you could help out that would be great!

Thanks!

    @LIQUIDconsumer I believe you'd be better off using the rockets rather than cleavers for your JATO. Take a look at BogdanX's Tu-14, it has JATO rockets that you can disassemble to learn how they work.

    @BagelPlane gratitude! i will try my best.

    when you mean: "build a shell around it" does that mean i will have to account for the the cleaver's folding wings? like do i need to make the shell in a shape of the deployed cleaver? it seems any collision in general causes the cleaver to phase

    sincerely,

    @LIQUIDconsumer I think what you'll have to do is look up a custom missile tutorial. You'll essentially be building a shell around the missile, and then attaching that shell to the aircraft. If problems persist, tag me on the post unlisted and I'll take a look.

    @BagelPlane hey thanks for the help, it means a lot.
    i might have more problems but i don't want to trouble you guys too much,
    so as a last request, i was wondering if you could help me with one last problem:

    It seems there is a problem with the missiles, their collision is messed up, meaning once the cleavers launch, they phase through anything EXCEPT the nose fuselage for some reason. Is there some way i can stop the missile from launching in general, like something i can connect the cleavers to where they will still go off, but they are stuck in place?

    thank you for your help so far, but this is as of right now the biggest problem im facing, if you can help me with this, i would be very thankful,
    thank you!

    @BagelPlane does it also effect power output? if not, what variable can i use on the missile that effects its power?

    @LIQUIDconsumer the attribute should be maxFuelTime.

    @Mustang51 @Grob0s0VBRa @BagelPlane
    hey do distinguished fine gentlemen know what variable sets how long a missile lasts? i mean in terms of how long the missile will go for until it cuts off fuel, i'm using it to make a JATO engine that will help my colossal cargo plane, i've turned it into a fuel tanker, but the fuel tanks weigh it down too much. my idea was to use a rough JATO design using cleavers as a short take-off method, but i can't figure out how to make it work. sorry for the long text, please, if anyone can help me, i would very much be grateful!
