@ACEPILOT109 ok, I thought you would go in that direction, even have seen that video before XD petersripol is great, if you remember I was the guy that recommended you build his plane eons ago. Anyway even if not realistic, I figured this little cartoonish style was kind of cute and cool-looking.
Thank you for the advice tho!
@edensk ok, however if you want to be that accurate, you might as well add a system that decreases deflection at a certain point where air resistance tends to force the surface down more.
TL/DR: use this code for the elevator: Pitch + (clamp(Trim * (IAS / 200), -1, 1) / 3)
@Hedero well, I'll explain!
You may or may not know how trim tabs work, but you got the movements right here at least: so basically(we will be using nose up trim as an example) the small trim tab moves down, deflecting the entire elevator up, therefore pushing the tail down and nose up(I assume you know this already). HOWEVER: the full elevator actually has no connection to the trim system. It is dependent on a flow of air over the trim tab to make the elevator move into the trim nose up position.
Hope that makes sense... here is some FT codes that may help you:
Elevator: Pitch + (clamp(Trim * (IAS / 200), -1, 1) / 3)
As for the wing part just use the standard trimming system; the tab rotator is good as it currently is
Substitute the plus sign for a minus if necessary; and the 200 depending on the top speed of the aircraft in m/s. The three at the end for how dramatic your trim needs to be(trim in SP is quite dramatic for visual effect but that's fine, makes it look better)
Well... 1) I expected this before I even loaded this in, but takeoff speed is roughly 3x as high as it should be lol so yeah 2) I am getting kind of squished vibes? I do not know why this always happens when builders attempt ultralights but yeah, some short-fat sort of stuff going on. 3) Drag points are very nice, weight is about 2x too high but that is very good... most people try and eventually end up in the 1000-1500lbs range(big nono). 4) Major improvement: move the main gear(back ones)! Move them to be right on the CG so takeoffs are safe as possible. I moved the gear forward and decreased takeoff speed by roughly 36% Hope you do not take this as very offensive, I tried to be nice but I am territorial of my ultralights like @rexzion is of his world war two stuff
@asteroidbook345 yes
@BagelPlane ahem*
@Makerofplanes yes sir I do
@Altaccount080 do you want fries with that
I very much like this according to the scripture
I very much like this according to the sctipture
@Altaccount080 do you want fries with that?
@rexzion idk try it
Any tips for me in case I build it? Looks a bit tricky
@PapaKernels I shall consider
Mulawin
Request me what to build for 100 followers!
@FeiWu what should I build? You get to pick if it is reasonable
@Coolpilot12 oh well thanks
@ACEPILOT109 lol same yeah
@MajorSix I know!!!!
@ATIS sure
@Chrisk1993 @ChillDood I know, I know
@Embo tooo faaaast
And I made the plane lol
@Alex9000 lol this is accurate speed, if not too fast
@tsampoy good to know you like it tho lol
@tsampoy when stick and rudder turns into chair and rudder

@ACEPILOT109 do elaborate!
@JakeS ok
@SemedianIndustries lol I guess so
@PapaKernels well there is a pocketknife in the seatback pocket if you want to cut it off...
@PapaKernels dont worry I put a seatbelt on
Looks extremely good though
@Sinnacraft lol is that a joke
@TriStar yes, I see!
Within seconds!
What a work of art wooooooowwwwwwww! I am thoroughly impressed
Wow the talent here
@edensk ok
I agreeeee somuch
I have max like 275ish? 350 on one special exception
@captainhall 0: your alive
@edensk ok, however if you want to be that accurate, you might as well add a system that decreases deflection at a certain point where air resistance tends to force the surface down more.
@tsampoy lol I just used an image cartoonizer...
@KnightOfRen ah yes
@TriStar is that a cartoon I see?
@Hedero np
@UsualPioneer your already a cartoon lol
@tsampoy
@asteroidbook345
Yay
@rexzion because

My one beef is that the trim tab moves the elevator at 0 IAS but great job!
