VGSV-TT

129 Lolivier  8.9 years ago

[MADE ON LOW SETTINGS]
[MADE ON IOS]

Extreme test video (that proves me the VGSV-TT is more tough than I was thinking): https://www.kamcord.com/v/Hg24EeXI9D

So I built this, the VGSV-TT (Véhicule à Garde au Sol Variable, Tout-Terrain), that must be traduce by Off-Road Modifiable Height Vehicle (sorry for my French). I had an original concept that was pretty different (that I will probably restart to develop), but I deviate and I deviate, and I finally built this guy.

It's an off-road vehicle, that maybe looks strange, but that is efficient. It does feature a 4-wheel steering, on demand, and my system, the SGSV (Système de Garde au Sol Variable), that can change the height of the vehicle.

So, groups:

AG1: Engine, steering and airbrakes
AG2: Rear steering (in complement to front steering)
AG3: SGSV

Instructions:

1- Hit AG1 to activate engines, steering and airbrakes, and let it activated during driving.

2- (For iOS, on low settings) Put the power to 35% on flat ground and to (not more than) 80% on high powers situations like hill climbing. So, try to keep this guy around 30 mph.

But, if you are gently, you can easily push to 100% for hill climbing (after retesting, it was tougher than I was thinking) and, even on flat ground, but it is less or more stable at that speed.

3- Hit AG2 if you want rear steering, for example in hill climbing, and don't activate it at higher speed than 20% if you don't want to do undesirable oversteering/drift.

4- Hit AG3 for SGSV if you want higher passing over obstacles capacity, and there is no speed limitating to activate SGSV, but now, it doesn't really serve and I need to perfectionate it.

I am actually working on a v.2 that is more efficient, more stable, and that looks better (the base of this guy, the v.1, was for my original concept), and I'm making a gliding bomb that I (overall) finished long ago, but that I need to ameliorate because of WTF problems in flight...

Don't forgot to rate and put your comments/feedbacks :)




(Sorry if I made mistakes, even if I speak English pretty good, I need to ameliorate my flight/drive vocabulary)

    @Clawsome Yeah, on iOS, wheels don't have much traction, but I am finishing the v.2 car, now I am to tests and modifying

    Awesome vehicle. Very powerful and better at making it up hills than most. Great job!
