@EternalDarkness maybe I'm just nostalgic and miss players like @phanps and @hypnotoad, they used to support me a lot before they disappeared, even when I built planes I consider crappy
arctangent function (in degrees) vary between -90 and 90, you put a minus before so it goes from 90 to -90 -90<-atan(x)<90
as you want this to be used in a engine to max out thrust at "x" speed, you want the fuction to vary between 0 and 1, so you do this -0.5<-atan(x)/180<0.5 0<atan(x)/180+0.5<1
The point where the curvature of the function flips is when the thing inside the arctangent function is 0. So imagine you want that top speed to be 300kts, and the x is already converted to kts (1.9438*IAS if you're wondering), you do this 0<-atan(x-300)/180+0.5<1
When the speed is nearing the limit you set, the output of the function lowers just before it.
@Pim2004 thanks pal'e
@CRJ900Pilot much appreciated mister
@GenrichTitov thanks m8
when your bliztkrieg meets the winter
I love this, mesmerizing
the original confused screaming
@superTT thanks pal'e
Good, now I'm hungry
perfection
@PointlessWhyshouldi nor Portugal
@Thelegitpilot13 how
@Solarisaircraft thanks brotha
this truly touches my heart :')
@RAF1 a simple "thank you" is basic manners
this should have gone to MAHADI's challange
@MakarnaliMussolini the more the merrier
@picy anytime!
cool one
I'll save you, just because I need to do something nice today

@picy did it work tho?
@asteroidbook345 ok so I looked it up and jaysus chroist that droop is oogly
@RailfanEthan indeed XD
@asteroidbook345 I build huge planes, it's needed sometimes
@asteroidbook345 nah, I overthink, I must thank each and every single one of them
@picy do the surfaces flex more than 35º? I wouldn't go further than 20º
@EternalDarkness indeed, I too try to thank and reply to every comment I get
are you using the same control surface for both?
@EternalDarkness maybe I'm just nostalgic and miss players like @phanps and @hypnotoad, they used to support me a lot before they disappeared, even when I built planes I consider crappy
@EternalDarkness getting upvotes makes me happy, so a "thank you" is to let them now that they've made me happy, I guess. Idk I'm cheesy
is nice
very poor choice of words
@CaptFoxworth19 post your unlisted attempt and tag me on it
yes
@Sanada ok then
wait feature that were already there will be locked or there will be new features?

I hope this helped
@asteroidbook345 Indeed, this was my favourite plane to pilot in FlightGear
@DickBrazen people hate to be told to do stuff
try adding wing panels on the underbelly, the physics work better that way, like this
beautiful
@SnoWFLakE0s I think the main formula is the one for the wings, the rest is basically safety programs
have you tried making original builds?
@DeidaraEnterprises what what?
@Notaleopard thanks mister
@vcharng it depends tho I guess
this is a cool body plan
@SnoWFLakE0s now that I'm thinking better, does this still fall within the challange's criteria?
@MBR6753 on my posts :v
@AerialFighterSnakes this does absolutely nothing a space shuttle does
