You can do this with some FT which isn't even that complicated. If I had a basic jet plane with a cockpit I could code it in about a day (don't ask me to).
Where is the link?
Also, by any chance, did you use fuselage slicing for the flaps in question? What does it look like if you set all the slicing values to 100%?
I sort of have this. It's a list of my "good" planes, the ones with months of work.
Even better, this. It's an attempt to organize and list all the planes I ever made.
@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv I think you're on the wrong post, this is part 2 and part 3 is here. Anyway, the current part count for the most recent version is 2125.
For something like a control surface you want clamp(Pitch + Roll, -1, 1). It allows both to function normally but stops combinations from exceeding -1 or 1.
I'm not sure about mac versus Windows, but for me the simpleplanes toolbar (next to component, window, and others) appears as soon as I click import and the importing finishes. I don't know much about working on a mac, but I do know installing and running mods works, but I don't know about creating mods.
@OPaiTaOn If you mean adjust the base throttle input, you can't. The default inputs like roll, pitch, yaw, brake, throttle, vtol, trim (and some others I forgot) can only be modified by directly connecting those to a variable (Sliders go with levers, throttles, and yokes, and activation groups go with switches and buttons). What I'd recommend is making a variable which references throttle and also can switch to taking inputs from other sources like a button.
From what I know (I'm exclusively PC with no VR), the Quest runs on Android, so if mods worked it would be android mods, which have been kinda discontinued (although I think working files exist, you have to ask around). I can't tell you yes or no, but if you want to try it would be android. Again, I don't really know.
@X99STRIKER Well I can't really be bothered taking the time to write out a really long comment and then spending a further amount of time trying to solve all the problems the user has.
@TRD6932 huh. Send it and I'll look at it. I haven't tested this past a block with four wheels and a joystick, but this theoretically should work for all things.
@TRD6932 For the variables, those are actually on the control base (the bit the joystick is attached to). Also note the two setters to 0 in the global variables panel. If you are interested in learning this yourself, download the car (linked at the top of the post) and look at it yourself.
Also just in case it comes up, you can use any variable you want. I just used Pitch1 and Roll1 to show how they work.
Okay, so what we do is first get the entire code of the HUD label.
For the purposes of this, I'm going to assume you have a switch writing to the variable HUDSwitch with the interactionType of Toggle
Replace HUDCode with the large mess of text that is the HUD.
<size={HUDSwitch = 1 ? 100 : 0}%>HUDCode
Try that. I'm not sure if it will work, but I'm pretty sure it will.
I have no idea why I was tagged, and also only the first 3 people in a comment get tagged. Please do not tag me on any future posts, unless I request a tag on a teaser (of which there are none for this post).
@SemedianIndustries "Hold the output forever" huh. Try looking at the code for the SWL-10. Its autopilot controls (and other adjustable values) use once.
On the topic of wingflex, what I'd do is output the liftForce from the physics wing on each side and then scale that number down and use it in the rotators. It allows for real wing flex taken directly from the lift force of the actual physics wing without a huge line of code.
Amazing plane! I just tried it out, and every switch does in fact work. I have some recommendations to make it even better:
- Make the buttons for the autopilot once instead of toggle
- The wings excessively wiggle when I roll hard
Other than that, there aren't any issues.
Keep up the good work!
hmm I found some seats to put in a full interior for the SWL-120. Might even make them functional. Just gotta visit Nasa for unrelated reasons one sec.
Let's say you have a part outputting to a variable. This part is the only source of that variable. If that part is destroyed, every single line of code using ANY variable breaks. A constant nullreferenceexception is also in the debug console.
For example, if that type of part breaks, then I have an engine stuck at full power even if I turn off AG 1, which should stop the engine.

@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv No.
@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv There are literally pictures in the post.

Making SP in SP would be cool. Imagine making SP in SP in SP...

+1@SheriffHackdogMCPE Or you could just browse the site without an account, which is the intention of banning underage users.
+1@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv I just tested it (the one on the public post) myself and it works.
@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv Try the easy mode version and that should work.
@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv As in the startup sequence is difficult? I did make an easy mode version (which hasn't been updated but should still work).
@BruhMomenthmgfbvbukjgv I thought I linked a no mods version. That can be found here.
Nice. I also had the idea of a magnet attaching to a plane/car with a camera, I just haven't worked on this idea. I can see here it works.
+2@HuskyDynamics01 lol
@HuskyDynamics01 It's a bot lol look at the bio. It didn't even format a good link.

+1It looks pretty good. For those artificial horizon screens, just putting the 1 part HUD on a 3 parts artificial horizon works pretty well.

Obey or be brrrrrrted out of existence.
@realSavageMan huh?
I have access to the testing version, that can be found here for anyone wondering.

I just simulate fuel using a lot of FT.Don't ask me to explain.
+1@MrCOPTY Read this forum, more specifically, the paragraph about different versions.
hmmm. I tried everything, size, other stuff, and nothing works. Sorry.
Okay, so what we do is first get the entire code of the HUD label.
For the purposes of this, I'm going to assume you have a switch writing to the variable
HUDSwitchwith theinteractionTypeofToggleReplace

Try that. I'm not sure if it will work, but I'm pretty sure it will.
Do you want the HUD to be invisible when off and visible when on?

@Titaninfernal1 Right, I was about to say I'd make a tutorial video.
About the wings, I can tag you, but I won't explain much.
@BeastHunter lol you have like 11 tags so far on my list.
+3@L3FTxR1GHT There is a link to the build at the top of the post. In giant text.
+1There is a script called MassEdit (found here), but it has stopped working for me for some reason.
Will every single switch work?
+4@ReturnOfJeffChandler The 717 is based off the MD80, they share the same fuselage and similar wings, tail etc. The MD80 is in turn based off the DC-9.
