  • How do I make submarines work right? 4.5 years ago

    @MrPorg137 Put the piston on top of the hull and put a xml modded buoyant fuselage block on top.
    As for how buoyant the fuselage block should be, a value of "10" or so would be good.

  • How do I make submarines work right? 4.5 years ago

    Buoyancy:
    The way I do it is by making the hull non buoyant and by attaching two or more XML modded pistons fitted with buoyant fuselage blocks to the hull, allowing the submarine to "dive" when the pistons are extended.

    Propulsion:
    If your submarine has a maximum operating depth of a few meters:
    XML mod the propeller(s) to have a "chordScale="10"" or more.

    If your submarine has a maximum operating depth of (No idea, 100-400 meters?):
    Attach a blasto VTOL engine to the buoyant blocks and put VTOL nozzles on your submarine.

  • Can Someone please help me with the wings on this aircraft 5.0 years ago

    Kind of fixed it here
    Changes made:
    Changed Wing-3 parts to Wing-2 parts. Wing-3 parts are wobbly while Wing-2 parts aren't.

    Disabled propeller collision

    The control surfaces might not be what they used to be.

  • Help with ship hull building 5.1 years ago

    @Stormfur Nope

  • Help with ship hull building 5.1 years ago

    Number one:
    The bow (Bottom section) So, just take a fuselage block (bottom part curved top part hard edges) that's around 5 wide and 2 high for a ship that has a beam and draft of 25 meters and 10 meters respectively.
    Reduce the width of the front end by 0.25 and add another fuselage block in front.
    Reduce the width of the new fuselage block by 0.5 and add another and reduce it by 0.75, then add a new block and reduce by 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and so on until it reaches 0.

    Number two:
    Now, heres the hard part. Take a fuselage block and flip it such that the width goes length wise along the ship (Call it block B) and put it on the rearmost fuselage block making up the bow. use a triangle calculator like this to find out how long block B should be.
    Example:
    if the block making up the bottom part is 1.5 long and reduces its width by 0.25, you'd input 1.5 to AB 90 degrees to angle A and 0.125 to side C (basically, see how much the width reduction is and halve it)

    Therefore, block B should be 1.505 in width (remember that it has to be facing lengthwise and that the height of the block should controlling its width and length be controlling how tall it is.) and 4.764 degrees away from 0, 90,180,270 or 360 degrees.

    Now for hull flaring:

    Take another block B (Let's call it block B1). Put it on a fuselage block directly behind the bow where the width reduction is 0 AKA it has to go straight and cannot get wider or narrower.

    Increase the width of this block B1 such that the width on top is slightly more than the width at the bottom and mess around with the rise and run to make it lean forward. Afterwards use the rise and run on on the block Bs on the bow to fit in with the Block B1.
    Here is an example of what the bow should look like at the end Anyone can use it.

    Now for the stern. just take instructions number one with a few minor adjustments.
    First off, you don't want it to go down to 0, but rather 1 or some value that's above 0.
    Secondly, reduce the height of the blocks halfway down the stern such that it reaches a a height of 0 at the very back.

    As for the blocks above the waterline, just follow what is being done below the waterline, except with no height reductions. But put a block at the very back and reduce give it a rounded bottom.
