@FlyingHueman Thanks for coming up with this idea. Even if you weren't actually the first. You were the first I saw. I have been trying it out on my own crafts for carpet bombing. It makes things easy and fun.
Hopefully someone can chime in for a 100% guaranteed answer..
What I know is this. If you set the
disableAircraftCollisions - true
partCollisionResponse - none
health - Infinity
I believe you will still blow up when hitting the ground.
@Shippy456
I understand that auto roll thing. It's when you pull up hard. I've had that in the past. I think it's related to the forward airfoil (wing) in relation to the rear elevator.
I like to be able to pull up harder. So, if you want to know room for improvement, I would just say to repair that. Maybe change the size of the wing that's hidden to a smaller size or maybe the elevator to a smaller size would fix that...
But, in the end it really doesn't matter. It flies great and I love the looks.
@Aweyer26 I put the code up top.
But, you place it into the “input” using the “Overload” mod.
Basically it takes the data from your speed and converts it into a physical movement. Starting at the minimum movement of -1 and maxing out at 1.
You can change the range by changing the multiplier.
Example: clamp(GS*o.oo5, -1, 1)
‘This would cause the speedometer to have double the range of the original I posted, which means you could have a maximum of ~440’@Aweyer26
@Stormfur I understand each opinion as being worthwhile. With that, I would like to say that XML and Funky Trees are two different beasts. One is actually XML editing and the other is an abbreviated version which we now call FUnky TRees.
As for XML Modding, you are not actually modding with XML when you use Overload. You are using a tool which allows you to edit specified parts of the XML code. Thanks to WNP78.
I can relate the two as being like C+ and writing C script for Arduino. One if full and complex in it's own manner while the other is stripped down but yet can have it's own challenges. Though, again we are not actually building any code here with the Overload tool. We are changing parameters. Just like when you move a visual slider. The only difference is you putting in the numbers.
In the end what is a TAG? It's just a label. We can use it to specify if something is actually XML or "Funky Trees".
If you feel they are that much in the same that we don't require a TAG for it then I suggest you start pumping out two builds each. One being a Funky Trees modded and one being XML Modded.
If you still feel they are one in the same then I suggest you take a look at SnoWFLakE0s work...

@ForeverPie
How many sections of wing are the from the fuselage to the tip of the wing? A lot or just a few to give that smooth look? It looks like just 2 pieces so far.
@ForeverPie Oh sorry, I didn't know you were using the AOA. I missed that in the messages. I believe I saw it but, I scanned over it so fast it didn't register in my tiny brain ;)
So, your method is the bomb then. AOA is PERFECT!
As for the lack of Funky Tree knowledge, I just sent a request to Andrew Garrison. Asking him to ask whoever the webmaster is to add the TAG "Funky Trees" in the TAG's search.
This way we can all share our ideas and learn from example.

@Vidal99977 @ ForeverPie
I think it should be based on two variables. Speed + Altitude. Basically you must be on the ground for the wings to flex down.
My formula is basic and only accounts for the height of my cockpit. So, if used then it needs to be adjusted to the height from ground that your cockpit is.
clamp01(AltitudeAgl - 2)
Somehow we need to find a formula that intertwines the two variables. It is fine to use just the speed based one but, what if you were climbing and dropped down to that stall speed. That isn't what would happen in real life. Of course then we need flex of the wings on maneuvers also :)
@SnoWFLakE0s @Thueerra
It has been about 8 years since I used this kind of math.
I thought I wouldn't use it ever, now here I am attempting to implement it into this game. ROFL
clamp01(IAS - 53) causes constant 360 rotation in a hinge vs clamp((IAS - 53), -1, 0) which completes the task without rotation. It just causes the hinge to bend 90 degrees as desired.
@SnoWFLakE0s
ok. Actually, I did something where I used the example and made it work for me.
clamp((IAS - 53), -1, 0)
This causes the hinge to activate at 53 M/s. Around 118 IAS.
As I play with this I begin to understand how the "functions" work with the equation.
Thank you for tolerating my learning curve.
Is there anyway to cause a DETACHER to release? If so where could you place the "Funky Tree"?
@SnoWFLakE0s Yes, I see that you can use the Altitude - 2999 example on a hinge. Makes sense but, when used the hinge acts like a rotator. It begins spinning and when it hits the specified altitude it spins the opposite direction.
I am working on making a video of what I input and what the result is to share with you.
@SnoWFLakE0s
Could/Would you load some more "real world" examples into this post please. Such as a Hinge that moves when a certain speed or altitude is reached.
Or a light that turns on when the speed reaches the desired speed and then turns off at the desired speed.
Basic as can be and maybe a few with medium complexity. I learn from example as many of us probably do.
Thank you if you decide to do it.
@Natedog120705
This is an example. You can do the math for the m/s. Because whatever value it's showing in the game for your speed I don't know. Mine is set to Imperial and I use IAS when I am flying. Actually I don't even change it.
Under Input you can put " V>300 "
Input V>300
@YuukaNeko Hey I updated my description. I didn't know it didn't post as a successor. Sorry for that.
Even added in a quick Upvote link in case someone wanted to Upvote you for your original build.
@Stormfur lol yeah! Your wood stove is way more efficient. I do have to say I love your build. Mine came way before we had it as easy as we do now with simpleplanes editing and modding. So building a home with framing would have been a super long nightmare 3 years ago.
@Kaqiusha321 OMG I never thought about that. Nor did I read any articles. I have respect for those people. Very brave doctors and their staff. I hope in the end China celebrates and awards them well.
@SnoWFLakE0s Do you have an idea where to start with learning how to properly code these inputs? I know you have some college mathematicians help but you did say you had to self-study. Because, I have tried a few very basic inputs. Some work and some crash the game so bad I have to hard restart my computer. No, CTRL+ALT+DEL on a Mac :) Plus I think even on a PC that wouldn't work with the load it puts on the system when it is improper mathematical inputs.
@Kaqiusha321 That theory of the virus being planted isn't so far fetched. Our government/military has done that in the past. They flew over dropping off a virus along the way to test the spread of the virus. So, there may be some truth in what you said.
As for countries dropping prices on masks. I honestly believe the world should be sending everything they can to help out China. They are not only other humans we should care about but, they are the epicenter of industry.
@Nickr So, you are asking me to stop when you were the one who began this and you continued it. Accept the wrongdoing when you are proven to be in the wrong and the discussion stops, that's how it works. That simple. Anyway, I'm done making my point. It seems to me some MOD found it necessary to remove my post to you and the other for whatever ridiculous reasoning. Yet someone like you who calls someone disrespectful with no basis gets away with it. Sounds to me like some snowflake action.
@EternalDarkness- maybe you could tell me who removed my fact based post and why it was removed. I suppose like I said, it's ok to call someone names on the SP forum if they are calling someone disrespectful, bigot, antisemitic, or any other false name calling. Though, when someone points out that the name caller is in the wrong that they have their post removed. I guess we like to foster defamation's on SP which are not fact based. Let's just call someone here a rapist and leave it at that. No factual basis, just because we can call someone a horrible thing and that person isn't allowed to defend it.
That sir is what is wrong with society.
The posts here are not for this to begin with. Though, the previous person was allowed to make their statement without reprimand, so mine should have been allowed.
5.4 years ago
@Nickr - Are you illiterate? I quite clearly stated that it was ignorant to only show respect for Kobe. I specifically said all should show respect for ALL who died. How did you draw the conclusion that I only insisted to show respect for Kobe? Either re-read what I wrote if you can find it because, it seems to me it was removed without cause.
As for my statement of calling you disrespectful if I did. You would be disrespectful for not educating yourself before making an argument towards another person. (when you said it was disrespectful to post "F")
@Brields95 You will need downtime from your child and your child's mother if the case may be... You will play SP ok. If you don't do what you enjoy from time to time then you will resent your child/mother of your child/ and those around you. I have 6, yes 6 kids (all adults now ages 33, 31, 24, 19, 19, 18.) I didn't neglect them. I run my own business, work on their cars since mechanics cost way more than I like them to spend, and 3 still live at home. 1 in college, 1 works for me, 1 is just lazy. I even took in my daughters boyfriend while he's going to college. You have time, trust me. Oh and I am far from wealthy BELIEVE ME! I just know how to stretch a dollar and how to save my money.
@Sm10684
Thanks for the upvote. I read your BIO. You will build more if you played SP on a PC or MAC. It's much easier to build and you can always mod like crazy (well it's more like tweaking not true modding)
@Mike073nl That has to be SimplePlanes system causing that issue. Remember this a a cross platform program. You should send in a bug report. BUG REPORT
@X4JB Well, I can't speak on the behalf of each computer but, it looks like it works on many so, maybe look at your settings. IDK, maybe because I built it on a MAC. Beats me why it doesn't work as advertised on your system.
@FlyingHueman Thanks for coming up with this idea. Even if you weren't actually the first. You were the first I saw. I have been trying it out on my own crafts for carpet bombing. It makes things easy and fun.
My upvote is for reusing the cannon for carpet bombing! Genius
That would be nice! @JolyLoly
