@Bryan5 That's also been partially implemented (also requires command console to locate).
There is an IR signature property, but it doesn't seem to display anything other than it's default value if I remember correctly.
@Micmekox Well, since Jundroo has already partially implemented radar cross section (you can find this with some command console searching), an adjustment slider for stealth coating on fuselage parts could be possible.
@STENDEC The name "Arbitrator" is a sort of call-back to the B-36.
The B-36's nickname was the Peacemaker, so I decided to name this the Arbitrator since it's a synonym of Peacemaker.
@STENDEC It's essentially a mix between an XB-35 and a B-36.
I was considering a full-jet version, but I chose not to do that. I figured a mixed-propulsion flying-wing would be more interesting than a full-jet.
@griges That might be a good place to start. Like I said, I have very little experience with PID controllers and only know the basics. It'll likely take a while to get it tuned just right.
Also, no problem! If you want, you can bookmark this page to your browser so you can refer back to the comment.
@griges
The Target is the value you want the controller to achieve.
The Current is the variable that you want to be controlled (it can be Altitude, AngleOfAttack, or pretty much any data value). The controller will attempt to change whatever the Current is so that it's equal to the Target value.
The p value (proportional) is how much output the controller should give.
The i value (integral) is how quickly the controller should try to meet the Target value.
The d value (derivative) is how careful the controller should be. This is to prevent overcorrecting/overshooting the target value. It's essentially an input dampener for the controller.
The Target, p, i, and d values are supposed to be numbers (though I'm pretty sure the Target value can be a different data value as well).
The format should look like this: PID(Target, Current, p, i, d).
An example of what this could look like: PID(0, AngleOfAttack, 0.005, 0.001, 0.0025).
@griges I've considered this.
I have a bit of experience using PID controllers, but not enough to make a forum about it.
There's actually a Funky Trees guide that breaks down PID controllers here.
When using postimages.org, it should give you the option for what type of image link you want. Use the Direct Link option and not the Link option.
When Jundroo can find the time to do so.
SimplePlanes isn't dead. The simple fact is that Jundroo has greater priorities at the moment with Juno (formerly SimpleRockets2).
I'd also like to note that Andrew himself stated that they would be paying more attention to SP this year. It's not improbable that we may get an update towards the middle/end of the year.
@ReinMcDeer It works quite well actually. It takes a bit of getting used to flying the thing because the elevons tend to induce asymmetric drag while using Pitch and Roll at the same time. It'll sideslip a bit while turning unless you give some yaw input.
@ReinMcDeer This is a true flying wing.
It uses YawRate and AngleOfSlip programmed into hidden airbrakes.
I also gave it some slack on the stability to have a little more drift (like a pre-fly-by-wire flying wing).
Interesting. I'd seen asin() acos() atan() listed in the Funky Trees guide but wasn't aware that an atan2() was present.
Now I'm curious if sinh() cosh() tanh() are present as well.
Depends on the plane and propeller specifications (not the engine, just the prop on its own).
I'm also by no means an expert on props. These are just basic things to consider.
I'd recommend trying different pitches to see what works best.

What exactly is the issue?
@DeadlyDialga Sounds like a good idea. It's been months since I've made one of those.
So this is what happened to The Watcher...
@STENDEC It is. I simply didn't feel motivated to invest more time into making bomb bays (they're tricky to fit into the wings).

@griges I'm not seeing it (yet).
If it continues to not function, try using Discord instead.
