@Jiju20 How much time it takes for a project to be completed really depends on how much spare time I have. I don't spend every day working on projects, so projects tend to span over a week at times.
This project should be ready by Saturday if I have enough time.
Not every upload website works for the SP website.
I personally use postimages.org (if you use this, use the direct image link and not the normal image link), but Discord also works.
If PitchRate is causing the aircraft to wobble, then you have to decrease the sensitivity.
In Pitch-(PitchRate*0.005), the number determines the sensitivity of the pitch correction. If the sensitivity is too high, the solution would be to just decrease the number.
@TheGliderGuy Thanks!
Yeah, that sailplane was part of this project's inspiration. The main difference (and the main purpose of the project) is the lack of a full tail.
@rexzion Eh, SimplePlanes hasn't set the greatest example for sailplane physics, mainly because SP doesn't have thermals, wave lift, etc. The easiest way for most people is to just add some horizontal wind for extra lift, which works.
Updrafts are just more efficient compared to H-Wind, so I always try to recommend using the command for updrafts.
@Dragoranos Ah, I think I see what you're getting at.
You don't need horizontal wind for gliders in SP, you can actually create updrafts to lift the glider up and keep it in the air.
I haven't tested this, but I'm fairly certain floor(smooth(Activate#, 1)) would work.
Of course, you should change Activate# to your actual ejection input.
You can also change the number to adjust the delay. Making the number smaller increases the delay.
@Jiju20 It's designed to be a slow aircraft.
It doesn't need to travel very fast, and realistically wouldn't be able to without breaking up into hundreds of pieces (due to its lightweight and flexible design).
Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!
Congratulations!
+1@N1KO Very nice aircraft you have made!
+1Ah, hello there. I believe you were the user with the flying fish I saw in MP?
@PPLLAANNEE I've been thinking about modifying the Little Bugger to have a parafoil, so I might do that at some point.
+1@PPLLAANNEE Ooh. That's something you don't see too often on the website.
+2I have three potential suggestions:

@TheGliderGuy Much appreciated!
+1@Jiju20 So far, it's taken about 10 days to build the sailplane, but I built the winch yesterday.

Very nice!

Ah, it worked.
+1Very nice.
@8Ball postimages.org or Discord.
If you use postimages.org, use the Direct Image Link and not the normal Image Link.
Imgur images don't work on the SP website. That's why you haven't been able to upload an image.

Hello there. I figured I should let you know that the server

@WINGSIRON Glad I could help!
+1@WINGSIRON You can move the blueprint image away from the aircraft in the designer, and then focus on it.

@Dragoranos If I understood the question correctly, it would start flying?
Very fascinating design. I'll probably be experimenting with UDF's soon as well.
Sailplane perhaps?
@XAircraftManufacturer Glad I could help!
The code is stored in the Variables menu.
+1Both my C200 sailplane and more recent D800 have wingflex code. You may use those if you would like, but you will probably need to adjust the values.
+1Absolutely. I could name a few reasons (better performance, mods, etc.), but the Multiplayer Mod is a really nice advantage.
@AlivePan 160.251.58.131 is now operating.
@BacchaNIKI I'll post a forum about it. Thanks for the information!
@MobileGamer21 Well, it's not an exact replica of the NASA Helios, so no.
The Helios, however, did have solar panels.
@IMULAerospaceIndustries Nice! Glad I could help!

Setting the part type to
+2Wing-2on the internal wings will stop them from wobbling.@DEADSHOT14 Nice to know!
@Kendog84 Hmm, seems logical.
+1@Jiju20 Of course, in SimplePlanes it wouldn't actually break up, but I wanted to keep the aircraft fairly realistic.
