@Aviator01 I might try that for a jet afterburner in the future.
However, since this is a ducted-fan engine and technically not a jet engine, I most likely won't add exhaust.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@ThereIsNoahScape In the future, try using different connection points on a part. Connecting the rotation end to the center attachment point of the rudder seems to work well.
I'm assuming there is supposed to be an image. However, it is not visible.
You might try using postimages.org, and if it still doesn't work, try re-uploading the image with a different URL.
@GrandmasterPotato Ah, I see. Well, unfortunately I don't have any solutions to this.
I have had this problem with my aircraft as well, and this seems to be typical of these types of aircraft.
You might try asking someone else, perhaps they might have a solution.
@Reworkable I had a similar problem the first time I used it. Try re-uploading the image to the website, then take that link and use it.
Alternatively, I've heard that some people use discord for image uploads.
Here's a trick that I use with delta wing/irregular wing aircraft: make sure the root connection point is as far back as possible. (The root connection point is where you connect the wing to the aircraft.)
As far as I'm concerned, the farther back this point is, the more maneuverable your aircraft is. All you have to do is reshape the wing so that the point is at the farthest point in the back of the aircraft, and then place the wing back in its original spot.
You could set the max input field to a very small number, but that would also decrease the size of the exhaust as well.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no way around this issue. But you could try using lights with a modified input and color.
@TheGliderGuy Sure! It's: SetWindSpeed 0 2 0. You can replace the 2 with a bigger or smaller number, depending on how powerful you want the thermal/updraft to be.
Edit: I found that 2 was a good number for near-the-ground climbing.
@MrCOPTY I'll consider it. I haven't made an official decision on whether or not I will actually release an armed version of this aircraft. On top of that, the weapons can't significantly interfere with the aircraft's maneuverability and performance if they were to be added.
Thanks for your support!
@MrCOPTY That is classified information.

+1Great aircraft by the way, considering it's made from basic parts.

+1@ThereIsNoahScape As HuskyDynamics said, manually connecting parts seems to fix it.

Are you sure that the rotator is connected properly to the V-STAB itself?
+1The rotating end might be connected to the V-STAB, instead of the base end.
Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!

@ChamDel7 I'll consider it. I haven't made any official plans at the moment regarding interior designs.
@X99STRIKER Ah, I see.
+1Nice one.
@X99STRIKER ?
+1@AEGIS No problem!
+1Try
+1clamp(VTOL, -1, 0).Additionally, you can look at this for more information on the
clampfunction.Link to the aircraft.
@IMULAerospaceIndustries What I meant by
+1maxwas the maximum input field for the VTOL engine itself.To answer your question: probably not.
Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!
Edit: disregard this comment.
@Donduck1 No problem!
Using
Throttle>0.9will activate after 90% throttle. You can also doThrottle=1which will activate at 100% throttle.@TheGliderGuy Thanks!
@jamesPLANESii Ah, I see. Thanks for the information!

@GrandmasterPotato You could try moving the landing gear more forward (assuming it's a tail-dragger aircraft).
@GrandmasterPotato In that case, it's just the aircraft's design. You will probably need to modify the aircraft if you want to fix the problem.
@XiliamXD

If you want the glider without the launcher, let me know!
Try taking off using lower engine power. The less thrust and acceleration, the less intense the nose-down movement will be (theoretically).

@Reworkable It seems only to work with specific websites. Try using postimages.org.

@PPLLAANNEE It could theoretically work. The main issue would be getting people to participate in such a challenge.
+1@PPLLAANNEE That would be very useful. It would be great for videos as well.

+1You will probably need Unity or whatever other software the game developers use.

@ReinMcDeer @WormWithLegs
I'll probably post a forum tomorrow on air convection simulation, using these details and other information.
@WormWithLegs Thanks! I'll try it out.
@ReinMcDeer That makes sense. I thought perhaps this could be used to make an upward wind to simulate thermals. I need to do some more research.
+1@X99STRIKER These kind of "Server's Down, Server's Up" posts are probably going to be a regular occurrence from now on.
I believe that Virgin Atlantic aircraft is a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

There may be an armed version of this aircraft released in the future.
