That would be awesome but probably not possible the devs would have to share their AI Laser secrets from avalanche and it would probably be a new part @DeathStalker627
Well cause I’m trying to make a replica and you know people are gonna be asking why’s the velocity messed up. But anyways it should be fixed by the devs I might put in a bug report for it @Minecraftpoweer
That’s what I’m using, but there is no way to edit projectile mass and drag. I think that’s the problem. Trust me Ive done thorough testing of this, somethings wrong@Minecraftpoweer
Well so mass apparently doesn’t have a bearing on the projectile range which I find weird but it’s true. So drag must be wrong because I know my measurements aren’t exact but if I start at Wright airport and fire off a round at 45 deg it’ll go triple to quadruple the distance from you to the USS Beast which is 9 mi.@Minecraftpoweer
So the way you can tell is if you take the cannon part right, and if you try to scale it and it’s not right the diameter/caliber it’s actually half of what it should be. Say the cannon is 17.3 feet and 240mm caliber right (I did this on my newest build). And so the way I scale things is I take a fuselage block and make it 17.3 feet long. I then take the cannon make it 17.3 feet long. But whenever I import an image and scale it the same way, the cannon length matches but the width does not. @Minecraftpoweer Also, range calc is definitely off my 240mm cannon with 45 degrees elevation and 700m/s should only go 14.3 mi it ends up going 50mi
Cannon scaling is definitely off I’ve noticed this and I think EternalDarkness has as well. What about you @Minecraftpoweer I’ve also noticed that the range calculations are way off
@EternalDarkness so its impactDamage? or does it not have an attribute? BtW do you notice something wrong with the range calculations? I'm currently trying to build a 240mm m1 artillery gun but 700m/s which is its sats should only shoot a maximum of 14.3 mi it currently shooting like 50. I keep doing range calculations and it says 30mi but the specs say its max range was 14mi
@AndrewGarrison @WNP8 hey so is there a shell weight attribute cause if we want to do artillery we are gonna have to have that. Also I think the tank cannon part's caliber scale is messed up idk why but it seems its always not wide as it should be
Well I know you’re not a dev but like your upper leadership on this site and probably have a better line of communication to the devs than I do@EternalDarkness
@SnoWFLakE0s yes sorry, here a peek at what I'm working on right now https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/QDxSL8/General-Dynamics-F-16C-Block-50
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/05atH5/Ju-88-A-1
idk why my old screenshots keep coming up with my stuff
I also have a pretty cool Panther Ausf. G
And at this second im working on a flak gun the 120mm M1
Ill remove some of my comments as well to clear up the chat
Ill tag you on the flak gun it'll have multiple distances at which the shells explode.
I would like to incorporate some of the new functions into my f-16 so i might have some questions for you later
question(s) about the beta what does "launchVolume" mean, is there an APCR ammo type, and are there proximity explosions on the cannon and if there is not a proximity attribute can yall import that from the missiles so that we can have completely working Flak guns?
@SnoWFLakE0s another question(s) about the beta what does "launchVolume" mean, is there an APCR ammo type, and are there proximity explosions on the cannon.
@WNP78 btw yall should try to put tracks 2 into the 1.9 that would help out a ton of mobile users, also will you put customizable inputs for the tank cannon since some of us want the input to be be fire guns, and is there a projectile type for APCR shells on the cannon?
@RussianAS Welcome to my world lol
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
THE PROJECTILE RANGE ON LARGER CALIBER (maybe even smaller) CAN BE DOUBLE OF WHAT IT SHOULD BE IN REAL LIFE
Solution: ADD attributes projectileMass and projectileDrag
We need this soon for accurate to real life projectile ranges and accurate artillery

Thanks man took like 4 days and it’s still in testing since the range calculations on SP are way off@EternalDarkness

Diameter/ caliber @Minecraftpoweer

Yeah this is extremely hard to do I don’t think anybody else even thought about this@Minecraftpoweer
@EternalDarkness check this out
I saw a couple of those online when I was searching for it they look pretty cool. Did you know the the us sold them to them after the war?@vcharng
Yee yee for aerospace engineering
Hey master cockpit builder I keep asking for help :( please
I love how he went from a silver
Ducc builder
to
this
lol
+2@EternalDarkness so its impactDamage? or does it not have an attribute? BtW do you notice something wrong with the range calculations?

So does the tank cannon also have a damage property like the gun and is there a bullet/ explosion scale?
You signed up for the beta then?@D0M1N420R
Wow this is pretty hard to do without xml@D0M1N420R
Oh sorry man wow did you do this whole thing on iOS?@D0M1N420R
Ok cool @EternalDarkness
Really should’ve used the tracks 2 mod
Well I know you’re not a dev but like your upper leadership on this site and probably have a better line of communication to the devs than I do@EternalDarkness
I love how y’all get half your upvotes from teasers 😂😂
Dope sauce
Did you use the new inputs altitude < than it tells control surfaces to pitch up? Cause that’s really smart @Strikefighter04
Maybe but I don’t think so, your able to access thing like flight data but I don’t think you can have an input for that@Rub3n213
@EternalDarkness coming along but I need some help

@RussianAS
Check out my new Flak Gun for an example:
120mm M1 Flak Gun
@RailfanEthan huh that would be cool
@SnoWFLakE0s
@SnoWFLakE0s yes sorry, here a peek at what I'm working on right now https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/QDxSL8/General-Dynamics-F-16C-Block-50

@SnoWFLakE0s so well finally be able to have real indicators, right?
question(s) about the beta what does "launchVolume" mean, is there an APCR ammo type, and are there proximity explosions on the cannon and if there is not a proximity attribute can yall import that from the missiles so that we can have completely working Flak guns?
@SnoWFLakE0s another question(s) about the beta what does "launchVolume" mean, is there an APCR ammo type, and are there proximity explosions on the cannon.
+1@SnoWFLakE0s like what lol
so what doez the function = MultiRole do and are there any other inputs?
@WrecklessRacer02 I also have a new tank that uses the gun Panther Ausf. G
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/t20bW0/Panther-Ausf-G
@WrecklessRacer02 no but it works because we now have a high explosive round
+1@WNP78 the tank gun also needs to have barrel length in ft/m and the velocity needs to be in F/S instead of MPH
@WNP78 btw yall should try to put tracks 2 into the 1.9 that would help out a ton of mobile users, also will you put customizable inputs for the tank cannon since some of us want the input to be be fire guns, and is there a projectile type for APCR shells on the cannon?
+1@WNP78 whoops I meant no the Arcsin is different than the csc, the Arccos is different than the sec and so on. Arcsin is Sin^-1 csc is 1/sin
@WNP78 yes
@CruzerBlade wait does it not fire with fire guns?
@SnoWFLakE0s when do yall actually use stuff like trigonometry though
