Here's the method that I use: 1.Take a screenshot. 2.Open the blueprints menu, select a view, and open the blueprint upload screen (file browser). 3.Select the screenshot as a blueprint. 4.Resize and move the image as needed. 5.Open the Share Aircraft menu, and take a screenshot of the image (in-game, not a device screenshot), and then upload the aircraft. Note: I do not use SimplePlanes on a mobile device, so I do not know if this will work the same way.
You could try: Activate5=(1)&(PitchAngle>60 | PitchAngle<-60) ? 1 : 0
However, I'm not sure if the gyroscope will accept this as an activation group (some parts don't accept expressions as activation groups).
I also haven't tested this code, but if the gyroscope will accept expressions as activation groups, then the code should theoretically work.
The most likely cause of the problem is aircraft/part collisions.
This can be fixed by simply setting disableAircraftCollisions to false on all of the landing gear components.
If you have already addressed this issue, then I have no other solutions at the moment.
@Far2Crispy Custom landing gear is quite complicated.
If it helps, rotators have a Current Angle output variable in the part output menu, which can be found above the connections tool.
This can be used for custom landing gear functions.
Analyzing and reverse engineering other user's landing gear might be a good way to start.
If you intend to start from scratch, here is a very useful guide to FT: https://snowflake0s.github.io/funkyguide/.
@MrSilverWolf The CoM was nowhere near that far back on the aircraft. I also had the same issue with two previous aircraft attempts.
It's quite possible that the cause of the issue is an outdated mod.
You would probably need to use AngleOfSlip data to determine your aircraft's flight direction. Such data would probably work best in a warning light.
Perhaps something like this: IAS>5&(AngleOfSlip>90 | AngleOfSlip<-90) ? 1 : 0
The code shown above worked for me when I used it. The code must be put into the input text field of the beacon light using the XML editor.
@STENDEC However, the design does not incorporate stealth. Instead it focuses on VTOL capabilities, the ability to perform quick ground target strikes, and air defense if needed.
You're most likely flying too low, where the air is too dense. This can be fixed by simply flying higher.
Or it might just be the design of the aircraft itself, in which case you would probably need to redesign the aircraft, but I would address the first problem listed above before doing this.
@TheGliderGuy Thank you!
@LeaveUsAlone No problem!

Make something unique, and maybe even a non-airplane.
For example: a unique robot of some sort.
@asteroidbook345 You're thinking of TARS, CASE, or KIPP.
Yes, I was thinking about making TARS, but I made this instead.
Thoughts or suggestions? Let me know!

@Bobyo You wouldn't be wrong. It is heavily based on the Thrust SSC.
Note: this is a filler project. I plan to upload a new aircraft soon (most likely another fighter jet, but that could change).

@asteroidbook345 That's okay.
Users eventually figure out that the main server is functional, but these types of posts help expedite the process.
Just add an @ in front of a moderator's name.
Tag a moderator.

Note: I did find a solution to the problem.
However, I would still like to know to source/cause of the problem.
@Noname918181 It worked.
@Noname918181 I will note that the CoM is far in front of the view perspective.
I suspect it might be a glitch of some sort, but I could be wrong.
@Noname918181 Thanks! I'll try it out.
@WinsWings I'm glad you like it!
@atgxtg Looks great! A nice, simplistic design with lots of functionality.
@atgxtg No problem!

@ThereIsNoahScape What's ironic is that I have physics on "High".

@STENDEC I would say 5th Generation.

@STENDEC It is inspired by the Coleoptere, yes.
