No the body curve was fine for me. Subtle, but it's a square car in most sense.
Dodge Stinger? Or Swinger?
Looks like a Dodge in every sense.
That decorative inferno is very cool. Idea's nice too.

You did fine.
@701wwj666
The plan closest to what you had built is a Panzer with a Leopard turret (because the gun won't stick out of the hull, so in dense jungle it won't get tangled)
@SnoWFLakE0s
Let's say that I had a broken browser.
Why care? I'm now watching it on my laptop anyways.
lol Desmos. I'm very ...
Well, very glad that you guys almost made it work in SimplePlanes.
@scratch
Maybe let's stop building these crazy things and focus on something that's somewhat more realistic.
I had a metallic model of Mitsubishi Pajero sitting on my table top. Should do something about it ...
@scratch
lol
Does this have more downforce? I'm curious.
OK it DID have enough downforce but I'm rather ...
You are trying to have suspension on wheels which is a good intention
But suspensions that are built into the wheel are generally horrible, especially on speedy builds.
I was expecting all wheel turning, but I guess it's OK too.
Did the gold prix in 28 seconds
Tried to "improve" it with 4-wheel turning and connections of wheels using wings, but end up in the same 28 seconds.
Did mine run smoother? I don't know.
@SledDriver
I liked the feeling of setting the cameras to "chase" camera and then watch the shells fly through
clearly the big 250cm did not have the correct velocity or the camera.
Damn that shot was so close ...
Using this feel more like a doomsday device rather than a proper cannon, by the way. Feels good.
WHAM! There you go, bridge!
@Sm10684
I am considering it, right now I'm using standard vertical shocks.
You can ... figure out a way to link me to a private build. I'd like to test it out first.
You can comment on any build I had done so far for safety reasons and I'll know.
@Sm10684
You did take it to proving grounds for a spin.
Interesting design, perhaps. Lots of things doesn't work the way reality does (and a lot of things don't work the way SimplePlanes does)
Doesn't pack a lot of travel, so ehh. Still goes on to see how it would compare to a single-suspension swing arm, but good impressions.
Why? You should upload the build (at least privately, because I had a coming vehicle project lying around)
@Sm10684
For starters, pistons have perpendicular slip (against the direction they had) hence the wobbling around.
I also did notice that the ... mechanism is a bit off.
For double wishbone suspensions, I thought that the two links (the above and the lower) should have the same length, otherwise it won't ... it won't flex up and down as expected.
See my Trophy Truck for suspension examples (observe front shocks)
@SnoWFLakE0s
Good gun breech. Good handles.
I assume you took more time in those cranky numbers than the actual building, but they are very cool.
And yes, I do return from playing to give upvote.
@CrashFighter05
Sure, but why? Are they not tolling in enough profit from Simpleplanes and Simplerocket's? It wasn't there before, if you ask me.
Nice vehicle on avatar, by the way.
@haidebiany

Some day, I'll get myself a CNC table to make my own stuff

for non-modded version I still suggest the good old VTOL. Trust me better than infinite rotators.
@Chancey21
You need two things to hit a aircraft. A german gun, and a set of german optics!
Nice modeling.
Perhaps they used a different variant in their tan ... * cough * Pz. SFl. IVc ... * cough *
@zap210
Infinite rotators do remind me of a thing ... called VTOL nozzle + infinite fuel ...
Nice mechanism, but the shoes on the rear legs started to fell off pretty soon ...
@shipster
It was the 1st under helicopter alone.
Hmm ... 2nd place is "traditional" dwarf jetpack.
Well, it was a AH series. If you see one you should probably run away. Unless it's one of your ally.
"AG3 to enable top speed"... I heard sounds of jet engines.
Well, we are all victims of simpleplanes's garbage physics engine. Aren't we, Chinook? (the new helicopter parts enabled you to make a easy-to-fly heli easily, but the chinook remains very challenging to fly)
@RailfanEthan
To actually do it with a winch causes too many trouble (and, how, there is no human hand to help when things stuck)
By the way this actually took me a great deal of time. Was working with jet-powered centrifuge when I figured that things aren't right ...
@Skyler717
To actually use this just blow wind at it.
I would say that it works best if the speed is around 50 mph, although it can go as low as 35mph.
Definitely not surprising here. These stuff work completely different than what you would expect. Trust me.
@StavinairCaeruleum
to "lock in place" simply increase the power of the ..
vertically placed gyroscope.
drifty? well it's a test rig. you should thank me that Inhad give you a chassis in the first place
I understand that while this is not a 3D modeling software, I hope that the 3D models it generated is slightly more pleasing than what it currently offers. This is … duh.
Don't thank me.
For starters, this shows some decent experience with fuslage blocks
FUSELAGE blocks. Plus it looks good.
Try to nudge a gun into the air intake will probably be a good idea. :)
wingspan is a bit too long for the length but sure it flies good.
Since it's short the pitch response is a bit slow
lol
yes, I admit that your plane bodies, after using fuselage blocks, look good.
But don't you think your wings are a bit too thin?
Use your common sense here, man.
Build 1 continuous wing then hang engines down there using the pylons. That's how real world aircrafts have their engine hung.
@Bossman2
I tried a 4CH fixed wing( no ailerons, can't roll, lol) and my friend flew it into a basketball goal. (which, obviously, wrecked it)
I had flown a 6-CH helicopter (1 main rotor) and I tried to flash the firmware and bricked it
I had build successful large-frame quadcopter. (the smaller one use 9-inch propellers and the big one use like, 16-inch propellers)
the large one have the 650 frame and the small one 500 frame.
I wanted what's more like a 300 frame (with 7-inch 3 blade propellers) with most of the setup from my smaller quad
I mean, carrying around such big objects aren't easy.
The big one use 10 AH 6S, and the small one runs in 4 AH 3S (or 4S, configurable)
Good luck with your drones too
And no, I have been flying real helicopters (RC helicopters). The controls in Skmpleplanes just made it sound way too easy.
For most of the flights in my first trashy drone, it's either rough landing or crash-landing.
But that drone cost like $10 anyway, so yeah.
Second helicopter cost me $30. Did a reasonable tour around the classroom without dying
And other irrelevant stuff
@Bossman2
I have to say something about all of your helicopters.
To say (in a rude way), these are made out of sticks.
Look at the front view.
Jundroo give the Gator 2 as a good example of what a helicopter should look like, more or less.
It's good that you make flyavle machines on your own, but it's a little .... meh.
Make it look fat! This one's skinny enough that it appear to be starving for months
I believe the result will be slightly more pleasing
@Simpleplaner656
@Plane66373637
This thread is basically about alternative methods of driving planes forward.
A few well-known examples is the piston engine, the air brake engine, and the gun engine.
Less well-known are the infinite rotators and electric fans using gun engines.
@Visify make quite a lot of decent piston engines. I make a few gun-engines and a few e-fans using gun engine.
I maybe have 1 clockwork (rotator) plane.
@Natedog120705
It's fine, because this is only a model for ... the emerging OLED technologies (where the screen are essentially LED itself)
The classic LCD (liquid color display), however, is different.
First, they have a gigantic slab of ... LED at the back to illuminate the entire screen evenly. Then you have the inteesting (and complicated) liquid assembly, that are composed of tiny cells that reflect light.
Of course, the LCD is therefore heavier, but the smaller LED in the OLED also means that they have a shorter life span (by roughly half), but at around 20,000 hours they are still insanely long.
Basically the best place to educate anyone will be wikipedia. Even though each page are written by 1000 people, they have the knowledge of 100 professors which means you get what you need (to understand things) most of the time. Including good pictures.
Looks good. Can have smaller gears.
Generally, the rule of thumb is to have the shortest landing gear possible, so the plane will not be tipping anywhere when taxi (and also looks a bit nicer)
and yes, a little bit too complicated.
Good start, I guess. Try to have fun with the blocks first, then move onto the fuselage blocks.
Like, try to make some aircraft you like (such as the cessna), then try to make them in fuselage blocks.
Generally I will recommend new starters to go for a fixed wing first, but you can also go out and make a helicopter (learn the physics from gator 2, but don't copy it)
I will give you something to start. It's not easy to control but hopefully you can get it somewhere
Let me know when you made it (and please, upload it as unlisted so I can review it first)
@waveofthought
