this is the project I mentioned before, but I still couldn't figure it out how to make the crank count in 720.
Could you shine some light on the problem?
@tiltglory IK, i tried this idea in 2020 and have the same conclusion idea as you. I tried with a boxer and the external force is still bad. That's why I kept on doing with piston and controlbase instead of jet engine although it is actually cooler
and people said costume piston engine is far fetched
Like it's so close we just need some little things like higher frequency physics engine, better connections and a way to output engine power
With more complex mechanism like my piston engine even ctrl+M wouldn't suffice, as once mirrored the connection would got mess up, so I pretty much have to just use subassembly and know that things are not mirrored.
Which things like suspension when mirrored I have to disconnect and reconnect everything to make sure things work properly.
And to trouble shoot connection is the biggest time waste for my work flow.
I never really use the feature because back when I was a phone player, there's a small chance when I use the feature, everything just get doubled and it's now impossible to clean it up.
Maybe the problem is no more but I never use it since once i switched to PC, and only exclusively use control+M
I was thinking something like this but in 4 stroke
But couldn't figure out how to make crankshaft reading (like RPMS in this build) in 360 degree to 720 one
You got any ideas?
@sakkijarven
Totally agree on the connection stuff, as of currently it's really difficult to balance between weight and connection strength
And also on the FT inout part, as its pretty weird to not have FT input for a lot of interactable stuff, such as firing guns and wheel brakes.
But also I would wish more FT input in places such as springs/ damper/ ratator dampers (and hopefully rotator springs)
0:52
Is there possibility to have ground effect for lift/down force?
Even elementary implementation like increased force near ground would be really neat
But also hight related to arear of the wing arear (or maybe wingspan idk) i believe would be good
@AndrewGarrison
Could we not have rotator spin limit like what LimitlessSpin trying to do?
And also I've been doing some piston engine and Mechenical stuff, currently the engines can do realistic size and power/weight.
It'll be really cool to have 1. no spin limit in game and 2. have something to interact with like gears and clutch.
The popular mod Engine out would be also be awesome to be integrated into the game.
People already achieve amazing work in the mechanical tab, imagine what we can do with ingame gears. ( I can't find the way to display all time of a tag)
@marcox43 you sure can build good engine
Your v and inline engine was my inspiration to build better engine
I was amazed by how well it work back then, and even now
we have funky tree now my man
So the piston don't have to start at either at top or bottom dead center now
The cycle function can be write using a sin wave, with top dead center be sin(90) and halfway at sin(0/180). And this is how I do this engine.
And even better we can have rotator output it's current position to the piston so it will never jam the engine ever again like this set of engines.
And lately I found out we could use control base instead of piston to push, and improves power per weight a lot.
So basically I have done some developing on the art of piston engine and above are my trade secret.
@marcox43 glad to see you on this old post This is my latest piston engine. I think in this I have the wobble reasonably taken care of.
Cool idea maybe I should do one just to try one with shorter stroke.
I do found out shorter connecting rod (in proportion) do reduce max RPM
even till now despite all the improvement to my engine
all of my engine can push 800 something RPM but not more.
Not sure which part of construction or game engine reason that limit it, as just attach an engine to free spinning rotator can easily do above 1000
humm
I can sense it being a popular asset in SP2
looks cute
+1Add "funny" tag pls
+3funny car
The simple driving simulator
+1this car have some Ghia looks to it
excellent work, might steal some code and ideas later
+1this is the project I mentioned before, but I still couldn't figure it out how to make the crank count in 720.

Could I borrow some parts and code from this build
I was planning on a piston engine, and this would really help to grab some eyeballs
Add part tag pls
Jundroo
+13Pls add "All Time" to Airplanes tab (like Highest rated and Tag)
Currently there's no option to see craft more than 1 year old
based tank
My favorite tank in WoT
+2Sadly they absolutely butchered it after 9.18
@NTH you can download and look at the plane, but it could go fast because ingame spin limit
+1he look like he's hurt
+1should had have the funny tag

I maybe interested, but would like to use piston engine like this which would require LimitlessSpin.
+1Could that still be within the rule?
@ShinyGemsBro planes? like flying?
+1nah we dont do that here
ur hellcat looks funny
+1Yes my favorite genre of SP build
Downloadable waifu
based vehicle
+1T

we got walkable SP2 character before SP2
+3T
a part tag would be very helpful for someone to find this in the future
+3@crazyplaness and also I test out my engine need some RPM to make sufficient power
: upload first post
: absolutely fire build
OMG French car!!!
@MVC I was trying something with controlbase but I guess this would do
@lizi13399a such a pity we couldn't have you in SVT
T
how to make custom prop be rotatable yet stayed on instead of flying away due to centrifugal force?
+1T
how this 404 part plane are so heavy on the system.
+2This lag my device where normally a 900 part craft wouldn't
the instability is really cool, but this thing really need fly by wire and flight computer
we need single craft multiplayer for this
could I put working pistons and post this in the future?

@MrShenanigansSP
So i did eventually did this on the Bush plane
Take a look if you want
I'll also redo this with a V12, as I finally have a powerful enough engine at proper size of the plane
