  • How to make rotators that don't reverse direction when you deactivate them 2.4 years ago

    clamp01 requires one input. try to activate AG1 and try again. And you don't need activation group in rotator itself with this code.

  • How to make rotators that don't reverse direction when you deactivate them 2.4 years ago

    set zeroOnDeactivate to False in input section of rotator's xml.
    or use something like sum(Throttle*clamp01(Activate1)) for input.

    @AltheimManufactorum For hexagons, perhaps it's pipes ("|") or dashes, you can clearly see it while she's near 9m AGL and label's semi-transparent.

  • More FT outputs and Variables idk 2.5 years ago

    AI would then also use air to ground weapons

    That "AA-AG" system is not about air and ground, it's more about builds and game objects.

  • (OPEN) HeliSonic Challenge 2.5 years ago

    a helicopter or any rotorcraft that can at least exceed Mach 1
    don't make it look too much like an airplane.

    Can turbofan be considered as heli rotor?
    It's impossible to make something realistic that goes around speed of sound and rotates and produces thrust enough to keep itself and it's power source in air.
    If you will keep "realistic" part, you can use jets (doesn't goes around speed of sound (inlet decreases speed of airflow)), ion engines and plasma actuators (can't keep it's power source in air without being very large or very long, doesn't rotates), scramjets (can't keep power source in air (produces low thrust on subsonic speeds), doesn't rotates)

    Damn, i hoped you will cut sprite if it's out of screen bounds, but you just made it disappear.

  • F-22 'Raptor' update 1.11 2.6 years ago

    idk if it's a problem or a bug, but there's constant 0.01 in your integrator so it may not work correctly in low physics.
    it's definitely not a bug or a problem, but why don't you use integrator to control pitchrate always, even with non-zero pitch?

  • External Flow: Lift and Drag 3.0 years ago

    Yes, even sp airplanes (mostly) have wings, but... but hey, you're gold, don't you know how sp physics works already?
    For wings it isn't even VLM, it's just fixed function.
    Other parts have sort of shading but it doesn't affects force produced by wings, props etc.

  • External Flow: Lift and Drag 3.0 years ago

    One important thing: it have nothing to do with sp.

  • Few meters away. 3.1 years ago

    RU version, page 8, line -9: "Двести пятьдесят. Двести семьдесят. Ручка на себя. Самолёт плавно поднял нос и
    оторвался от полосы. Ничего сложного. Самолёт с рёвом набирал высоту."
    RU version, page 9, line 1: "Альтиметр уже показывал больше трёх с половиной метров."
    3.5m is just a bit more than height of modern fighter; you don't need to pull nose up to get 3.5 meters of altitude in such time.

  • 256-byte DDR RAM 3.2 years ago

    @JuanShot2Go
    I modified it a bit, so now it looks like that:
    if(abs(rate(clk))){
    addr=ai0+ 2*ai1+ 4*ai2+ 8*ai3+ 16*ai4+ 32*ai5+ 64*ai6+ 128*ai7
    if(wrt){di=di0+ 2*di1+ 4*di2+ 8*di3+ 16*di4+ 32*di5+ 64*di6+ 128*di7}
    }
    addrLarge=floor(addr/3)
    addrShift=pow(256,repeat(addr,3))
    if(addrLarge=0){
    if(di>=0){m0=m0-(repeat(m0,256*addrShift)-repeat(m0,addrShift))+di*addrShift}
    value=floor(repeat(m0/addrShift,256))
    }
    if(addrLarge=N){
    if(di>=0){mN=mN-(repeat(mN,256*addrShift)-repeat(mN,addrShift))+repeat(di,256)*addrShift}
    value=floor(repeat(mN/addrShift,256))
    }
    di=-1
    .
    If clk was switched, buttons ai0...ai7 will be used as new address (each button is one bit, ai0 is least-significant one).
    If clk was switched and wrt is true, buttons di0...di7 will be used as data to store (each button is one bit, di0 is least-significant one).
    addrLarge is number of memory variable that contains selected address. It's 1//3 of address, because single-precision floating-point format stores 23 fraction bits and one implicit leading bit, and 24/8 is 3, i.e. it can store up to 3 bytes (not including exponent and sign).
    To store 3x8 bits in one 24-bit variable without intersection we need to shift it, but FT doesn't have any bitwise operators. So to shift value by N bits we need to multiply it by 2^N. Offset that we need to get is repeat(addr,3) bytes (see previous line), i.e. to store value in clean memory variable at Nth byte we need to add value*pow(2,8*repeat(addr,3)) (it's equal to value*pow(256,repeat(addr,3))) to memory variable.
    To clear a byte of memory variable it uses m-(repeat(m,256*addrShift)-repeat(m,addrShift)). i wrote it 3 months ago and i don't remember how it works, but looks like it works.
    value setter shifts memory variable and then uses repeat(...,256) to cut anything that's above 7th bit and floor(...) to cut anything that's below 0th bit.
    In programming languages like CS and Python we can create array named m and then get Nth element of array with m[N], but FT doesn't have arrays. So instead it uses pseudo-array, that's a lot of variables named mN and separate setters for each one.
    After it's used di sets to -1, and it will contain -1 as long as clk will not be switched (see 7 lines above). If di<0, mN setter will not be activated, and therefore memory contents will not be changed.
    Finally, if clk was switched and wrt is false, buttons di0...di7 is used to display separate bits of value that was previously obtained from one of memory variables (see 3 lines above)(didn't wrote it in code above because of comment length limit).

  • Funky Trees! 3.2 years ago

    @linxiaofeng2339 @huiyuanzhang
    Air pressure in SP is exp(-Altitude/7640) or pow(IAS/TAS,2). IIRC these two is equivalent (i.e. difference is less than 1e-6), but you should check it.

  • Simplifying parts menu 3.5 years ago

    @Formula350

    Basically, it'd be nice if every part in the menu system could just be configured in a setting file, to personalize the order they appear in.

    Actually this file exists, it's %userprofile%/appdata/locallow/jundroo/simpleplanes/DesignerParts.xml (for windows)

    It contains list of assemblies, and each assembly have name, category, settings for preview image, and list of it's parts with attributes.
    It's structure is almost same as structure of sub-assemble files, so i think you can also add connections if assembly contains more than one part.

  • Hachune Miku 3.7 years ago

    ok...

  • Hachune Miku 3.7 years ago

    It's just fail.
    Hatsune Miku (not Hachune) is official translation and used on box.
    As lurkmore says, leekspin was originally made using Orihime Inoue from Bleach, and the one with Miku is just one of thousand remakes.
    If you need some iconic video, you can take songs that made specially for Miku, like "Last Night, Good Night" or "World is Mine" or one of her real-life shows.

  • ALX-02 Advanced Atealth Air Optimization Aircraft "Shirayuki" publicity video 3.7 years ago

    Looks good, but i think impractical in cruize, because wing will need a lot less energy to return airplane to near-zero angle of slip.

  • XFWAAC-MCLV ''Actias'' Flying Aircraft Carrier 3.8 years ago

    I managed it to turn within ~4km radius.
    And i calculated that outer wingtip flew with ~2.5x more speed than inner one.So i think that without gyro it will roll to the same direction in which it turns, and it may result uncontrable rolling with subsequent crash.
    .
    On this build, wing loading is just 167kg/m^2, it's better than on some fighters uploaded to this site, so i think if i will delete it's gyro, it can fly as good as real-life fighters.

  • Some bad things about me 3.8 years ago

    But my pc has problems, it always turned off itself and can't turn on, must wait until the next day and it keeps repeating.

    You probably need to clean dust from it's fans (especially cpu fan in the center of hull), and maybe attach one more fan.

  • Need help again and again 3.8 years ago

    Hello, fish.
    The problem is not center of pressure, but your attempts to move it.
    I will give you fixed version and explaination what's wrong soon,
    for now i can say that it can't stall, goes into tailspin, and can't stop rolling because canards have almost 50x more area than main wing.

  • Below 400 Parts Destroyer Challenge 3.8 years ago

    First line says, that it's "Challenge For Skilled Ship Builders Of SP Community",
    lines 10-12 says that part of rewards is spotlights,
    but you have only 81 point for now, (most active community have more points than you for now)
    and iirc you can spotlight builds only from player that have less points than you.
    Was it a joke,
    Or do you have another account?

  • Alcubierre Drive 3.9 years ago

    @Formula350 Actually, you can get craft with mass below zero, because you can ge fuel tank with negative amount of fuel.

  • CLOSED Tank Challenge 3.9 years ago

    Tank destroyers
    Must not exceed 50 km/h
    Max. Hull turn rate 180 deg/s

    Is that a joke?
    Even WWII-era M18 GMC have maximum speed of 89 km/h.
    And in modern war, 50 km/h is too slow to hunt tanks.
    Tank destroyer must have speed of at least 90-110 km/h, because

    MBT's
    Must not exceed 70 km/h

    Or do i need to make WWI foil box?

    I think max speed for heavy tanks is too low too, because, for example, King Tiger have maximum speed of 42 km/h. Yes, only on road good enough, but still.
