@Nonamebasicplayer Ah, I think I see what you mean.
If you get the "Multiplayer mod is up-to-date." message when trying to connect, but nothing happens, then your probably experiencing a high-ping issue (which is common with the current server).
In that case, you will just have to wait until the ping goes down enough to connect. This can take a while at times.
Note: I apologize for the less-than-favorable nosewheel steering. I've tried just about every solution I can think of to counter the drifting, but the current adjustment algorithm was the best one I could come up with.
I'm not very familiar with the advanced startup procedures.
However, if you're looking for a simple startup, clamp01(Activate#)+(Throttle*clamp01(Activate#)) should work pretty well for jet engines.
I'm not extremely experienced with building helicopters, but I can say that if you plan building a coaxial chopper I would definitely recommend adding stabilized yaw control to the rotors (not using a gyroscope).
Since I'm on the subject of gyros, I would simply avoid using them entirely. If you want an auto-hover system I would simply program it into the rotors. If the helicopter is a bit (or very) unstable then add a fly-by-wire system.
Again, I am by no means an expert on this subject. These are just my personal recommendations.
@GabrielSatori Much appreciated!
It's really just an XML modified Cleaver missile with several magnets holding it in place.
A tip: set the missile's maximum speed to a very high value, and then mess with the missile's thrust force until you find a suitable amount. Otherwise, your aircraft may accelerate too fast and then stop gaining speed after the missile's maximum speed is achieved (which, of course, isn't very realistic, and is a bit annoying).
@phrongus I know this. I simply chose this method a few months ago and have stuck with it since then.
Simply a preference of mine, and it also has some nice advantages.
I believe they deleted their account.

@Nonamebasicplayer That's not an error, that's the mod telling you that you are using the newest version.
Can confirm, unregistered users add up.
@temporaryplanetester Alright then. I'll accept.
+1Hello there. I just received a notification about being added as a contributor on your new mod.
+1Was this intentional?
Looks pretty similar to a 2707.
+1Also, looks amazing!

@IceCraftGaming Thanks!

@FlightFun Much appreciated!

Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!
@JkPlanes6987 In the command console, type say "Your message with the quotes".
+1Is the image format.I would recommend either postimages.org (use the Direct Link for images), or Discord.
@P38lightning2 Yes, their nametags should be visible. It should also show people joining/spawning in the command console.
@VTPADELTA As far as I know.
I'm not very familiar with the advanced startup procedures.
However, if you're looking for a simple startup,
clamp01(Activate#)+(Throttle*clamp01(Activate#))should work pretty well for jet engines.@Numbers2 Several weeks ago, though I'm not sure about the specifics.
Either use a control base or increase the mass of the rotators significantly.

@VTPADELTA
160.251.58.131should be working fine. It goes offline sometimes.@V I thought that was exclusive to rockets.
+1Thanks for the information, I'll need to revisit that.
In my experience, an XML modified Cleaver missile held in place by a few magnets works pretty well.
@Numbers2 The V3R!FPR0 thing.
@o2o
Mess around with these and it should work decently.
+1If position holding is what you want, then I would simply remove the gyro and put stabilization/control inputs into the engines.
+2@FirstFish83828 Just set the value to
1,1,1.@FirstFish83828
Hmm, alright then.
*Singular clap.*
+3I see you've made your account.
+1Welcome to the SP community!
I haven't listened to the SimplePlanes soundtrack for a while now...
+2So nostalgic.
This would be nice to have, especially if another train scam outbreak occurs.
+2I would recommend saving your build files onto a hard-drive of some sort and transferring them to another device.
Adding
+3+Yawto the collective input of one rotor and-Yawto the other should work.I can't say I've seen a NASA NF-104 with a rocket booster in SP. I'm looking forward to seeing that if/when it comes out.

That depends on you and what you intend to do with it.
Simple clamp functions or stability inputs? Not really.
PID algorithms? Most likely.
Sailplane perhaps?
There's a nice beginner's guide to PID controllers here: https://snowflake0s.github.io/funkyguide/pidtuning/.
@temporaryplanetester I couldn't find any resolution properties, and scaling the views doesn't work either.

Interesting. I don't believe I've seen this concept before.

+1@phrongus Well... I actually just moved the atmosphere itself, and that happened.
I have yet to figure out how to change the sky color.
