@spefyjerbf good formula! This will probably make it into one of my builds. I didn't expect there was something for me to learn through making this post :D
@An2k Fresh outta the oven, i hope you'll find something useful!
You might also wanna check out the homing compass, it's suprisingly usefull for fighters actually
@3AMIndustries so true. I`ve built something similar useing the ground effect of the heli rotors before, but using PIDs and VTOL engines sure makes everything easier. I hope I'll get to see lots of cool creations using this :D
@Gestour it's working now, good job!
the only thing there is is, that the small settings window isn't there anymore, but that's no problem for me at least. Thanks for taking the time to improve this mod!
@Gestour i've got the same problem someone else descibed, i'm on windows10 and the airtraffic mod spawns only the same plane, but randomizes that choice when i restart the round. The seatraffic mod works just fine tho, maybe it won't be too hard to change the mechanism in this one
you could add a piston which pushes the wheight from left to right, so you can adjust it and find the sweet spot. other than that you`ll have to do some finetuning
@Chenxiang so, if you use overload, somewhere there's a tag that say something like "maxVelocity" or speed or something. youst play around with that ^^
@XxMegamonsterxX sure, whatever.
i'm not into anime and i think everyone is responsible for theyr own stuff
what really brings my blood to aboil is that people ruin this once wholesome comunity. if you want to get rid of anger, good for you. but please do it on reddit, they cant be helped anyway
@Devarite well kinda, i look whats goin' on here from time to time, i've still got a buttload of finished stuff to release but icouldn't find the motivation just yet
@NeonEndo thats a nice concept, but i was looking into making flak that could be controled by an AI... sadly i could not figure out how to make an AI turret aim at the player
@DankleYankle
Calculating is simple:
P=M/f
P is the power of the engine (the value we want to calculate)
M is the planes mass (e.g. 392718 lbs)
f is the power of the engine. You can find it out by clicking the engine in the partlist.
The power of the vtol engine is 13490 lbf
i recommend using wheigtless fuel
@Speedhunter i just had to figure out how to get the mod function. never needed it before in my 7.5 years of playing this game. what a coincidence :0
turns out the repeat() function does exactly that ^^
+1@Handlewithcare normally the input of a rotator is VTOL, right?
if you change that to sum(VTOL) you get an infinite rotator that is even better than this one
sum() is the integrating (or summing) function. for every second the value inside the brackets is 1, the output of the function increases by one
so if you write sum(1) into the input field, after 1 second the rotator will be at 90°. after 2 seconds at 180° and so on
hope that helps, let me know what you're building ^^
(and be patient as i'm online very rarely these days :))
@Mousewithamachinegun123 somewhat, i'm really busy studying but i might upload again in the future ^^
+1@SpetzavodHeavyIndustries yeah sure thing go ahead!
just be sure to give credit ^^

this one is pretty alright, bit slow maybe but perhaps they are supposed to be
@3AMIndustries acutally, it seems some people did that already :D
@3AMIndustries actually i meant creations from other users, i always love when some stupid thing i did gets used by others for cool contraptions
@Tookan you know what? I'm not even gonna pretend i'm any better in my native language
@Tookan english ain't my first language, please foregive me (:
@spefyjerbf good formula! This will probably make it into one of my builds. I didn't expect there was something for me to learn through making this post :D
+1@MrGreen thanks ^^
@Thomasthemaker4 only the original post and the adendum actually
but through scool and hobbies i've learned lots about maths, trigonometric functions and stuff. But the best way to learn is to try

+1@An2k I'm glad i might have offered a solution :D
word of advice, set the I in your PID to 0 when using stuff where the input changes randomly. It's more trouble than it's worth..
+1@Gestour oh alright, well then i'll have to make sure to shoot them down before they conquer the world :D
@Gestour well, the airspace gets awefully crowded after some time, so maybe a limit on the ammount of current planes would be pretty cool :D
@Gestour it's working now, good job!

@GOZZbro i guess gyros are not an option here?

good luck!
@We7a66 i made that comment 4.4 years ago lmao, great to see things are still as they used to be :D
+1@Embo I don´t either, but thats why were here isn´t it :)
@xboxseriesx Well I´m PilotOfFuture and for the other question...
Thats dificult actually, i kinda lost intrest in uploading and was hung up on other stuff, but now i´m back :D
@DeltaBravoSix Glad you like it :D
@jamesPLANESii *also i added it, although we will be the last people to ever read this xD
@jamesPLANESii dud this is almost 2 'nd a half years old, how did you even get here?
@Chenxiang so, if you use overload, somewhere there's a tag that say something like "maxVelocity" or speed or something. youst play around with that ^^
+1@enzoBoeing757 this post is 3 years old, how did you even get here?!
as far as i'm aware there is no windows emulator for android, sorry
+1@RailfanEthan done. thank you
@XxMegamonsterxX sure, but it creates a hostile environment for people who have these profile pictures
@XxMegamonsterxX sure, whatever.

this definetly ranks as the most hateful post i've seen here in a long time. please keep such stuff to reddit
@Draco777 interesting, simpleplanes changed the inverting system a few years back
all you have to do is to invert the left rotator, have fun!
@Devarite it's really been quite some time, but i got into metalworking and electronics and it really kills alot of time. It's totally worth it tho
i'll try to release some stuff if i've got time next weekend and by that i mean if i don't watch random youtube videos for 23 hours a day
@Devarite well kinda, i look whats goin' on here from time to time, i've still got a buttload of finished stuff to release but icouldn't find the motivation just yet
my ancient tablet does not like the part count, but i certainly do!
the landing gears look really detailed, though they are soft on low physics
and it just exploded after a few minutes 😎
@503rdAirborneSoldier long time no see!
i'd like to see it, can you go crazy eith details?
@simpleplanesmaster so long ago...
i dont know how to mod, though
@AirplaneMechanic that might be, i dont really know too much about tanks
sniper guns
+1special stuff
flamethrower
you can also look into this project and take the guns of the turret on the top, you can use all of these for whatever you want
@NeonEndo thats a nice concept, but i was looking into making flak that could be controled by an AI... sadly i could not figure out how to make an AI turret aim at the player
@DankleYankle cool, tag me when youre ready

@ImmaChargingMahLazor for the camera you need xml modding, putting a missile on a detacher is easy, just attach it
@ImmaChargingMahLazor hmm, it still works for me
@ImmaChargingMahLazor it does
@NeonEndo it already uses guided missiles wich cant maneuver, havnt tried impact cams tho
@FalconGT12 thanks
@FalconGT12 i think youre expecting too much, its just a static thing meant to block cars in multiplayer...
its not that cool after all
am i just having deja vu or did this happen a few months ago, too?
last time i think it was a plane, but also made in SP
