This is just a sneak peek of what I've been doing lately.
A fictional F-14 with PSM capability and a trick up it's sleeves.
It all began when I was fighting Post-stall maneuver capable opponent and I can't follow it's movement to get a shot easily so I cheated.
Not really cheating though, I just use Funky Tree code to make my aircraft aim for me (or at least point to the target), you can look at it like an airborne turret.
@Imtiaak
Big no.
Posting code is not going to make a difference because anyone can just take my plane apart and find code in it anyway.
And the most important thing, you can do nothing with my code alone because the code is written to suite a certain plane, you need to modify the code a lot or build your plane to suite the code.
[This build]{https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/zXW6bi/AXF-78-Sauvignon-Block-I?redirect=false} is the perfect example of what I said, the builder did a great job of modify my code to work in their new plane, almost feel bad for putting the builder through hell and back lol.
I've plan to release a tutorial at some point which of course including a simplified version of the code and it will be easier to read.
@FujiwaraAutoShop
I don't.
In fact they are flying like normal except I used FT to re-interpret their control.
I view their pitch roll and yaw as their "intentions" rather than their direct control inputs, same goes for the manned version except I have to modify something to suit the AI's stupidity.
@TheLurkingVexedVortex
Lovely dancing indeed lol.
Just like Tango, dancers rarely made eyes contact with each other, like they going to kill each other but have to dance together somehow.
@WSindustries
Definitely PHP.
Seriously though, I didn't modify the AI in any way, AI using pitch roll yaw like we do so FT can temper with it.
Let's say it is just a re-interpreting the AI control.
@StancyBoi
lol it required some skill and coordination if you really flying formation.
But in this vid it isn't really a formation, it just 3 aircraft stitched together.
Inspired by this video and how powerful it's message.
So I create a throwback to my humble beginning of Funky Tree build.
And to summarize the wonderful journey I took from then till now.
Through high and low, struggle and joy.
And I'm so grateful for all the support I get along the way.
Finally.
Merry Christmas, happy new year and stay safe out there.
@ollielebananiaCFSP
There is some spinning problem during takeoff due to imbalanced tire traction or too much of it I'm not sure.
But I have a quick fix for it, I turned front tire traction to manual and reduce all traction to 50% (maybe fine tuning is needed), then I can take off like a tail dragger should be (gain some speed until the tail rise then gain some more speed while balancing on front gear only and then pull up) with a little yaw correction of course.
@WSI
Yeah, but use it with caution.
Using it without modifying it will work like 2 out of 10 time, especially if the configuration is different.
Good thing is you do code, I'm sure it'll be easy for you.
@ChrisPy
Never flew one before lol, I just fly in sim.
@Hedero
idk either lol.
All I know about slip is side slip.
@Fliegerkerlchen
I'll do my streak too lol.
@Fliegerkerlchen
Thanks again for your upvoting streak.
@Fliegerkerlchen
Thanks for upvote streak lol.
Much appreciate.
This is so cuteeee, not to mention the F-104 that come with him.
@Homemade1
oh...
Now I know why lol.
Why F-15 "Sorcerer" was an imposter?
@AWESOMENESS360
No lol.
I just re-watch it and I think maybe this video need some music and some beautiful shot... and a finished plane.
@TheLurkingVexedVortex
They just don't care about pilot or terrain lol.
@AWESOMENESS360
Thanks.
And sorry for the lack of "cinematic value". lol
@tsampoy
Thanks, so it's an auto dance of death!!!!

@IndianAce
lol.
It is basically a reskinned of my previous craft.
I'm already happy with this many updoot.
@Cabernet
idk man...
Maybe you can make an original livery, a fictional ace's personal craft.
@Aircraft76898
lol.
Just a touch of it I think.
@Imtiaak
It's value you want to "smooth" with.
Just try it for yourself.
@Imtiaak
That's better than nothing.
The code that you know can apply to roll and pitch as well.
Snowflake's guide help a lot.
@Imtiaak
Yeah.
Just an example, not a big deal.
@Imtiaak
Big no.

@Cabernet
idk man...
Red wing like Pixy is everywhere.
@FujiwaraAutoShop
lol.
If you say so...
@FujiwaraAutoShop
I don't.

@Bills00131
Thanks.
That's some of many overlooked characteristic of this fighter.
Poor low speed acceleration.
@AWESOMENESS360
Indeed.
It's a shame that Pixy didn't fire his TLS, it'll be more awesome if he does.
Unlike birds, all plane can fly even without flapping it's wings.
You know something goes horribly wrong when it's wings start flapping .
@scratch
Waltzing is not a word!!!!!
But yeah... they definitely waltzing.
@UltraLight
Maybe I am the one who is crazy lol.
@TheLurkingVexedVortex
Lovely dancing indeed lol.

Let's say it is just a re-interpreting the AI control.
I gave AI the ability to do post stall maneuver.
It still wonky at a time but still fun to see them fight.
@Hp1234
Yes.
@TankerWithATankard
That's a good sign, it mean you are improving albeit little by little.
Best build don't comes cheap you know?
@K2K
Indeed, the whole plane and FT working together as a system.
@StancyBoi
lol it required some skill and coordination if you really flying formation.
But in this vid it isn't really a formation, it just 3 aircraft stitched together.
@StancyBoi
You can find most of them in my profile.
But not the prototype in the beginning.
@IndianAce
Thanks.
@K2K
I can give some advice.
@FireFast212
I put an inlet directly into the engine itself.
@DieDieTheLoaf
lol.
And I can't paneling.
@psychoslayer
lol that's the limit.
And that is what parachute is for.
@ALRX
Glad to hear that.
Thanks.

This craft handles PSM well, nice job.
@ollielebananiaCFSP
It's never too late lol.
I think this post will stay for a while, it'll be nice to service the fans.

@WiiWiiTheMini
It's ok.
I'm surprise this RC comes with a real gun.
@WSI
Yeah, but use it with caution.

Good thing is you do code, I'm sure it'll be easy for you.
@WiiWiiTheMini
So sad, the fixed version is much better lol.
I've been out for a day and there is drama again?
Well... what ever happens, happens.
