Assuming you are on PC, or have the ability to edit aircraft xml files, it would be possible to edit the range and targeting angle of the missiles, to a high range and 360° targeting angle
@CRJ900Pilot its a simple statement of pride, not meant to be political, or hostile, simply a statement, communicated by a series of aircraft, saying that LGBT+ people are (mostly) accepted on this site. On a more technical note, no aircraft in the entire series violates any part of the rules.
@DerekSP what i think theyre saying is to have a piston with a range if 1 that starts at 1/2. modifying the min/max to 1/2 will make the piston start at 1 (or 0) and have a max movement of 1/2 of the total range.

@SkullsAndCrossbones the nose colour, and in the bottom picture the probe is lying on the runway, while in the top picture the probe is on the aircraft
@ArcturusAerospace check the dev console as it might have an error, or wait a minute with VTOL full up as it starts at around -17 instead of 0. I'm not entirely sure why.
i managed to get a six part rocket thing to hover with PID(VTOL, rate(Altitude), 1, 0.25, 0.5), with VTOL adjusting the climb rate. The PID values will probably need to be adjusted depending on craft weight and engine response time, and for some reason the output started off at around -17, depending on the Integral scalar, which lead to about a minute of waiting for it to return to zero.
The alpha just determines the transparency of the flame (I realise my last comment was ambiguously worded). I don’t think there’s a way to get the flame one colour, although I haven’t given it much of a look @Zanedavid
That is correct, and AG8 also affects the deck magnets, to avoid the aircraft falling off. The aircraft is connected to the ship by a winch, that extends and doesn’t retract, to allow the torpedoes on the aircraft to work. The issue may be the winch, as it is set up in a manner such that the input is the same as the activation group. A solution to this would be to remove the winch, although it means the torpedoes will be unusable. @JaySto
Yes, both cranes utilise magnets and can lift the aircraft back on. The marlin starts pointing forwards, and requires the forward crane to be lifted off, so pictures of the marlin on the rear crane are after a flight, when it is being recovered
I intended for the aircraft to be armed with ~6 torpedoes in the nacelle bays, although SP physics means the torpedoes aren't part of the aircraft and thus are not usable, so the aircraft is unarmed
@ChiChiWerx @asteroidbook345 @ChisP Part of the issue was that the Air Force had priority and the Navy had to make as few changes as possible, which is the completely wrong way to make an inter-service aircraft. Looking at other aircraft that have been used by both Air Forces and Navies, such as the F/A-18, F-4, A-4, E-2, A-3 (B-66 USAF), They all started as Naval aircraft, and were adopted by Air Forces. There are exceptions, such as the C-130, Hawk (T-45 USN), Sea Venom, Seafire, FJ, although these are within carrier parameters, by having short T/O distances or STOL capability (which the F-111 does not), and the general rule is for modern jet aircraft, for a successful inter-service aircraft, the Navy's requirements should precede the Air Force's.
That is normal (for whatever reason) and if you disable the mods, sign in and then reenable the mods, you will be signed in and able to upload

@winterro alternatively backslash
VTOL*cos(*Time*100)
A benefit to an integral function would be the ability to make an Inertial Navigation System @SnoWFLakE0s
@AwesomeCronk your other option is to increase the mass scale of the rotators and pistons while reducing the mass scale of the load they have to move
i could give it a try
Clamp01(AltitudeAGL - [50ft converted to metres])with the rotator angle set to 112.5° @Type2volkswagen@BogdanX we've had functional ekranoplans since 1.8

the last two digits are the alpha, and it seems to spread the spectrum from the nozzle back, rather than the exhaust being a homogenous colour
I don’t think there is a specific differential function, although it might be possible through other means @jamesPLANESii
@Mustang51 Thanks, I put quite a bit of effort into making them effective and simple (as much as things i make are)
I think it depends on the weight of the aircraft as to its response @BogdanX
High on both @Noname918181
there's one that's directly over Canberra in apple maps (Use satellite view) and screenshots
Although have fun trying to find the winch as it is scaled down by 0.0625. It is near the step of the Marlin, under the deck @JaySto

Thanks for the upvote @Treadmill103
@AerialFighterSnakes yes, although I'm thinking of uploading an unlisted version without the aircraft for multiplayer (although entirely untested)
It’s been implemented, with a winch range further than Maywar to Snowstone (>85mi) @thefalkenreich
@thefalkenreich i was thinking of that, but didn't get around to properly designing it, although I could try implementing it now

@TrislandianAlliance @Strikefighter04 alternatively, just wait 317 billion years
@WolfFireUNE the Tiny Two follows the same heading, and gets there slightly faster (~2hr03 instead of ~4hr30), as it is a good 40mi closer. Here, in comment form, is a list of distances and bearings of all major elements (Islands, Carriers) of the Archipelago for navigation.
It’s fun to try and work with
@asteroidbook345 i think the F-35 is an exception in that inter-service compatibility was part of the initial design considerations
