@Tornadox31 I generally do this: Pitch-(PitchRate×0.005 or number less than one)
All you need to do is replace the pitch input with other control inputs.
The number less than one is used for controlling the sensitivity of the stabilizer. A higher number is more stable (to a certain point), but leads to less maneuverability. The opposite is true for a lower number. You just need to find the middle ground number.
@IMULAerospaceIndustries Fortunately, the aircraft itself has a very low part count.
The lag is from the cannon explosions, but the versions with bombs will be linked on the main post as a separate aircraft, meaning the bombs are an optional feature.
There's more than one method. You can use PID controllers, but that is an expert level method, and very complicated.
I'm fairly certain you can use AngleOfAttack/AngleOfSlip code, which is still complicated, but less complicated than PID controllers.
I use Roll/Pitch/YawRate code. This is one of the easiest methods that can still auto stabilize the thrust vectoring system. For example: "Pitch-(PitchRate*0.005 or any number less than one)" works for stabilizing pitch control output.
I would manually disconnect and reconnect the propulsion rotators.
Rotators have a tendency to automatically connect to the incorrect attachment points.
I would also make sure that the rotator input doesn't have any errors.
@JeskoGoesVROOM To address the first question, I'm not familiar with the older method, so I wouldn't fully understand how to make the input work in that scenario.
To address the CoM/CoL issue, I find that rather odd, but I suppose the thing to do would be to find the middle ground on the maneuverability spectrum (find at what balance point the maneuverability is at its greatest).
The aircraft is very good for its part count.
Something I noticed while fixing the aircraft was that the fuselage wings had drag and mass enabled. It's important to disable that so that the airplane is more efficient and flies better. I already disabled that while fixing it yesterday, so it's not a problem anymore.
I would move the CoM farther back towards the CoL, but not to the point that the aircraft is uncontrollable.
I would also add some code to the pitch controls to prevent flipping at higher speeds while performing aerobatic maneuvers. "Pitch-(PitchRate*number less than one)" should work, but you will need to modify the number less than one (perhaps to something around 0.005 or 0.01).
@MrShenanigansSP I might. The wide bomb bay doors were intentional. This gives more clearance to drop ordinance without needing to utilize a rotary bomb rack.
But, I may or may not decide to use 1/4 size bomb bay doors instead of the 1/2 size, depending on what ordinance(s) I decide to use.
@KyonIndustries So, I think scaling the internal wings down did something to the aircraft's lift. It can't get off of the ground.
If I have some time (and motivation), I might redesign the internal wing structure so that the aircraft can fly (unless you're already working on/planning on working on the aircraft).
@KyonIndustries I downloaded and tested the aircraft, it's got a few issues.
Mainly with connections and engine code errors (rudder is stuck, engines don't work properly anymore [no idle sequence], and a flap panel falls off).
If you want, I can fix some of the issues, send you the fixed version, and you can re-post the aircraft (just be sure to copy and paste the description).
@Bryan5 Hmm. I'll need to start making requirements for tag requests more clear. Pinning a comment that says "Type T to be tagged" would solve that issue.
I'll make an exception for HalfaBlock, as they seem to want to be tagged.
If you would like to be tagged, let me know.
@jamesPLANEScdxxLXIX Yeah, it's quite a bit similar to a B36.
The engine layout will be significantly different however, so it won't be too similar to a B36.
In my experience, adding a gyroscope with the input "Yaw-(YawRate*number less than 1)"under the yaw input field should reduce or eliminate unwanted yawing.
I've tried to access your K750LR, but I get a "The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." message.
@SimpleplanesJP11 This is the aircraft you were wondering about.
The server seems to have quit working for me, so I figured I would answer your question here.
That is pretty much how I imagined my logo would look if I put it on one of my airplanes.
I would, in fact, put my logo on my airplanes, if text labels would properly wrap around curved surfaces.
If you want to add a detailed description before making the aircraft public, you can post the aircraft as "Unlisted", and edit the aircraft's description on the website. This is how you get detailed descriptions with images, and better formatting. Afterwards, you can make the aircraft "Public" by using the drop-down menu on the right side of the screen on the website, which will publish the aircraft.
Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!
