He could have totally used 2 extra parts to make it explode via activation groups. and 10 parts for a pig-like object instead of the cockpit. Also the wheels should be put on the outside to increase stability
But it's good. It's pretty good.
I'd prefer making a real-life electric model of a 10-wheel mobile-crane, rather than making such a skeleton build in simpleplanes.
It's utterly pointless, but in the mean time, damn. This is .. good.
He even tossed in central (lockable) diff. Credits to this guy.
Minor mistake:
The lower cylinder (should) house the return spring, and the upper cylinder is the damper. It should be connected to the breech block via the small vertical fuselage block, and the arm (horizontal small fuselage block) should extend outward.
@Sm10684
Pretty awesome.
That said, I believe stocky cars like this kind should use less than 1K parts. Like, 500 or something should get it done .....
Yeah, I don't know why but they did curve the engine exhaust upward. If they think it's going to hit the ground they can just cut it.
Pretty awesome. I like these "square" cars. Nowadays more round ones look like ... they are good cars, but they don't look as "car-like" by contrast. Maybe.
@RailfanEthan
lol. Petition to change description to "Press 1 to set on fire"
Since it will occasionally explode (it's rockets, duh)
An alternative to using smoke particles (from rockets) is to mod a gun
@Pizzaschnitzel
Actually, since you can mod guns ...
why not just make a gun that shoot insanely wide bullets directly upward (with, say, a bullet shell life of 0.1s)?
There could be better ways for rotating it (e.g. mod the input of rotator to "fireguns"), but man this is ... this is spectacular
I doubt I will call it "radar", though. it's more of a rotating blade of death
@AndrePlaysSP
"since the jets there, as you go faster"
Well ...
there's different kinds of jets. Airliner jets (high-bypass turbofan) and military non-afterburning jets (low-bypass turbofan) behave more linearly and, in the case of hi-bypass jets, can't exceed 0.9 mach.
low-bypass can reached past 1 mach but they quickly loose efficiency (or thrust).
Only the ones with afterburner will have similar effects, and yet they will also be capped at a certain speed.
My function here actually had the value capped by TAS too. It's just because simpleplanes' atmosphere model is crazy beyond 10KM, the throttle is multiplied too much so the jet seem to responds slowly.
But I believe that the TAS value (retrieved via "TAS" from funky trees) above 15KM is also unreliable (and value tend to go too big), so I just throw together the most practical formula I can and called it a day.
I hadn't had SP2 yet; I have little reason to ask for one, too, since I am having some decent fun building vehicles in SP and low-altitude aircrafts.
I could ask for more, but now that I don't -- I simply avoid it.
It's also disappointing to see Jundroo implementing this "feature" in newer software where they could clearly update their old one. Perhaps they want more cash, I don't know. I feel like this is unfair so I started shouting at different places.
@cyan
initially it was a "attempt" at figuring out a actual suspension scheme robustly enough to make my overtly-ambitious plan of making a scaled lego 42009 from 5mm thick aluminum sheets (with parts made from cnc the 5mm sheets) because I can't afford the steep price.
Being so large a project, it simply got put on the shelf and I forgot about it.
This would most closely mimic what later on became a crude (albeit, very Simpleplanes) model of my 1:28 RC drift car I bought myself for my birthday.
it looked like one of these, but it had a fully cnc machined aluminum chassis and a beefier motor (and a different case), and a standard two-stick "aerial" transmitter as I don't want to spend more cash so I used my existing T8fb set rather than the car-focused "trigger and wheel" type.

somehow i can't put images, so yeah you got to click on that
@Cyan
If you really enjoyed the build, well, then feel free to upvote it.
If you are upvoting for the sake of upvoting, please, stop.
You gave me 500 points. Wow.
At least, don't make me become gold until I finish the build to celebrate me becoming a golden member, okay?
do me that favor. thank you.
@AirCorp
"it always launches itself up in the air so I will say 4/10 performance."
Well, this car is tricky to steer, but I intentionally beefed up the power for the jets (and removed the speed limit for the wheels) so it CAN break the land record (just barely)
To do that, first enable slow motion. Then GENTLY pitch up (car engine pitch is the upper right gauge). recommend 20%
Then you can thrust up the jets as they are above the COM so they push the craft down anyway
Then when the speed is at least 300 mph (somewhere around that), you can floor the gas pedal.
Steer extremely carefully. A sedan like this one should not even attempt to go to sonic speed.
If you really wanted speedy stability, I had a "equation" formula one that can beat the grand prix in 45 seconds (or something like that). Strap jet engines to that and you'll get seriously fast and stable. But that one had a bit too much downforce and isn't as redneck, so that's why I insisted to make this to be able to beat the "max ground speed".
It really did, trust me.
Thank you, if you really think this is impressive. I believe other paint schemes works too (to a certain extent), so that's why I used a default palette.
This illustrate how SP physics is broken
You can't exceed speed of sound with that high-bypass turbofan it will get shattered to pieces
But SP don't care
@SmSmThe10684
Talk about supersonic speeds at corner racing ...
lol. Not today. Maybe by the time we had actual flying cars we might be able to talk about it
hall effect thrusters? That's a good start.
@Nickil0212
one of my favorites.
This one looked like the U.S. version with more protruding bumpers (for the 5mph test in U.S.)
Wish I could make some cool stuff like this ...
actually somewhat acceptable, even though the 1960 era didn't see the introduction of a rear spoiler to provide downforce; the concept isn't there yet
Okay they had the spoiler but can we get to that later? Focus on getting a decent fuselage-block-based vehicle body first
here is a image to get started
Vast improvement. Cockpit no longer leaks pilot (though it still leaks air). Flight characteristics is decent
Move the wing gears in (for a bit) and it will be even better. Also enable steering for the trailing landing gear for ground steering
@Spitfire12
I know the M1 was (which is also a wonderful car) but I didn't went ahead to make that.
I should probably find a time for it. But not until I finish these physics problems first ...
@AWESOMENESS360
really, i would prefer the yeet to be inside (so as to have bottom texture)
But it doesn't matter that much.

ignore the caliber of the in-game cannon, it doesn't factor in wall thickness
Yeah I think the wall (of the cannon) is like 1mm thick
Or maybe this game is just nonsense. That jackhammer they provided seem to be holding a 105mm (by the scale) and seems like it's not too far off u know
@MrEarth
You could just scale those "large landing gear" up and nudge them into fuselage. they come with their own gear doors.
SimplePlanes isn't really ... you CAN do it, and the result might be good, but the game is not designed with the intention of people building these stuff.
You can disprove me, but it's mostly self-evident.
The tutorial I guess was fine. But remember the power curve (number of advanced users versus average user)
The graph is similar to a 1 / x. Sadly.
@DEN12345
I think you can actually squeeze the 122mm D-2-5T into the chassis (and you had it, the su-122, su-122-54, etc although the gun mount have to be altered)
The 152mms such as BL-10 and BL-20 will need a bigger chassis (Su-152), though
He could have totally used 2 extra parts to make it explode via activation groups. and 10 parts for a pig-like object instead of the cockpit. Also the wheels should be put on the outside to increase stability
But it's good. It's pretty good.
It's a two-stroke.
Oh, the title says that.
Such a waste. You can make it into a 4-stroke by adding another set of camrod and valves.
I'd prefer making a real-life electric model of a 10-wheel mobile-crane, rather than making such a skeleton build in simpleplanes.
It's utterly pointless, but in the mean time, damn. This is .. good.

Wait. The picture is Hockenheimring. no?
It's easy to see why it's the best "vehicle" ever to be on SP net
Wondering why they painted it black in the first place ...
I like the flags
