  • Fenrir Cockpit Hologram Test 2.5 years ago

    I decided to try and build mechanisms for a cockpit hologram similar to that found on the XFA-33 Fenrir. No particular reason I just felt like seeing if I could do it.
    What the hologram does is show the position of your aircraft in 3D space. like if someone put tiny plane with orbit camera in the cockpit.
    I had to rip out all the COFFIN panels on the test plane to do it though, but it works.
    I'm aware it looks sort of strange given the outside visual cues of the cockpit but there's some application to this I promise
    In practicality I would replace the current arrow looking thing with a miniature model of the aircraft.

    @ReturnOfJeffChandler its just a movie

  • Criticism that makes a "Military Enthusiast" and a Top Gun fan mad 2.5 years ago

    1) I feel like its explained well enough in the dialogue, even though, while cool, the Darkstar scene was very unrealistic
    2) yeah
    3) Im pretty sure it "stalled" from loss of control and not an actual stall (Also Im pretty sure its G-LOC, for "loss of consciousness")
    4) well then we wouldnt have a major plot device, would we? The Su-57 keeps getting mentioned as this looming threat and if they never showed up then that would be kinda stupid froma plot perspective (but that aside how did the bad guys even get Su-57s?)
    5) yeah 2
    6) Yeah not realistic at all if this was realistic the Navy would have been flying F-35s. You know. Also 5th generation jets.
    7) Da bomb wit no pod (I dunno oversight probably)

  • The Silver Streak (T-180) 2.5 years ago

    @SpartanSR91 isnt the point of a race car though to be fast?

  • Accilian Aviation Project 8120 2.5 years ago

    Tempted to reuse the cockpit/nose section for a new aircraft...

  • How many hours or days do you build a craft? 2.5 years ago

    I build thing is small periods unless Im strangely motivated to make something for some reason, and as a result a lot of my higher quality stuff takes months real time to complete.
    but recently I've been toying with the possibilities of Funky Trees functions seeing what kind of crazy stuff I can make.
    (as Im writing this I'm toying with a counting system via buttons and such)

  • T-180 Chassis in Action 2.5 years ago

    @Dragoranos I dont think this is realistic in the slightest

  • T-180 Chassis in Action 2.5 years ago

    Apologies for the earlier post, I wasn't sure if that version had the correct audio.

    Regardless, this is a demonstration of my T-180 chassis and what it can do.
    This vehicle uses that exact chassis just with an actual body, so that chassis performs effectively the same.
    The body is question is car #84, sponsored by Ascendancy Cybernetics LLC.
    The chassis can be found here

  • T-180 final design demo 2.5 years ago

    a few laps around the oval office with added music from the Speed Racer video game

  • So I'm gonna try my hand at a "T180" 2.5 years ago

    Update: I have a working controlable mock up of the idea. it could use some slight improvement but it is functional

  • So I'm gonna try my hand at a "T180" 2.5 years ago

    I will also take this opportunity to point out how awesome the tie-in video game for that movie is.

  • Automatic gear shifting? 2.5 years ago

    I've actually coded an automatic transmission.
    I borrowed some code from a manual transmission and modified it to shift at certain rpms.
    It's rough, but it works.
    The manual transmission also had editable gear ratios in the variables so that was kinda cool
    I havent uploaded it yet, but I'd be willing to if you'd like to take a look.

    YO ITS GRIDMAP_V2

  • I think I have an idea on what to do next 2.6 years ago

    @Dragoranos the -09 is very fast, but turns like a brick, while the -03 is a full blown 5th generation fighter (which has been buffed since release on the site)
    I dunno theres only one way to find out

  • selectedWeapon into float? 2.6 years ago

    I think you'd have to just ask for specific names in a function, like the following
    SelectedWeaponName=(name 1)?1:SelectedWeaponName=(name 2)?2:... (etc.)
    If theres a way around this I'd love to hear it but its the only way I know.

  • What steps do yall take to build a model plane? 2.6 years ago

    99% of my creations are original so I just go with whatever feels right

  • What music do you guys listen to while playing Simpleplanes (if any)? 2.6 years ago

    Mostly Ace Combat, Metal Gear Rising, or Mega Man X-X4 soundtrack
    but more often than not it depends on the build

    @Dragoranos thank you! much appreciated!

  • I'm out of ideas. 2.7 years ago

    Try looking at the Ace Combat game series for inspiration. There's especially some weird ones from AC3 that could get the creative juices pumping

  • How to make custom missiles 2.7 years ago

    The below information is the method I use but there is ONE THING
    Make sure mass of the missile part itself is not zero, as that would make it have some very strange behavior.

  • Working Manual Transmission 2.7 years ago

    @Red920 It should work, as I successfully transplanted it onto a pickup truck I made.

  • Working Manual Transmission 2.7 years ago

    @Red920 Yeah you have to copy over the variables as well, manually, unfortunately, because the code is reliant on those, and when you create a new vehicle, the variables dont carry over so you'd have to copy and paste them.

  • How do I make a rotator move on gun input? 2.7 years ago

    Correction:
    ceil(smooth(clamp01(FireGuns),(1/delay in sec))
    Should work much better.
    Tested and approved.
    Fair warning, the delay increases the longer you hold down the fire button (for some reason, it shouldnt do that) but if youre only firing in short bursts (like youre supposed to) it shouldnt be a problem.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I make a rotator move on gun input? 2.7 years ago

    I have an idea for a code with a close delay.
    It would go something like this:
    clamp01(ceil(smooth(FireGuns,1/second delay as a number)))
    I'll have to test it real quick so I'll get back to you.
