@BigMacMakesPlanes well, you need to make a propulsion system. If not, you need to stop pulling up immediately, go down at 10* to maintain speed. Use XML to lighten the drag and weight forces on your aircraft, and always check your W&B. That is usually the killer.

What do you think of a challenge where two teams compete against each other? I am trying to figure out the behind the scenes and how I would set it up but idk
Congrats on 10k! I have seen this elsewhere but this is more part efficient. I have an FT question for you: how did you code the speed hold/attitude hold for your 757? I could code to keepmspeed at 150kts or hold attitude at 15* up but idk how to take current values
.
Also, you might want to rename it so people can find it
@KnightOfRen good ideas! They would all need to be turn-off-able in settings, the trees and building would kill my device. But I know this might sound like I'm just trying to make up, but the folders idea is genius. Probably has been thought of before, there might be a technical reason not to, but we need that.
.
I would just name mine:
-defaults
-ultralights 1-5
-ultralights 5-10
-ultralights 10-15
-ultralights 15-20
Uhm yes do that I guess!
.
Also, can you tell KnightRen that he can unblock me now? This is bothering me too much, but it is and I just want to talk it out
I have a trashy device but--I could provide help I guess? I try to provide helpful tips a lot(check my newest comments lol). Maybe if you gave me less "pretty" pics substituted with more instructional ones then I could try to see what I could do.
@rexrexThezion it's not that the yaw isnt strong enough, it's that it's too crisp and stiff. I would even argue that it is too powerful. It just needs to be smooth and, idk, smooooth. So maybe lighten the deflection, and add the wing in the middle. This also helps the yaw actually change the heading, yaw really does magic irl
.
Sorry I am doing a bad job explaining, hope it makes sense. And now I know what wing switches are
@AlmostMobileFriendly how do you do good wings? I use the EternalDarkness strat, idk what I do wrong! And btw here is a better wing style which @Ergi and I use. Pretty unique for him/her to invent, I really like it. Unfortunately, it does not support taper, hence why it is very good for Bush planes and ultralights.
. Edit: actually using inlet trickery it might be possible to taper it--I might just go test that rn
@rexrexThezion hey, first of all, I never said it wasn't good, I just said it was ok. I have flown a real plane before and the roll rate seems good, the pitch rate seems good, and overall speed is pretty good.
.
Just that IRL yaw provides a little more and yaw and pitch are the soft inputs, and roll is the crisp input, just in general. Here it takes a while to reach the full roll rate, but honestly I dont really care. You can make yaw better by sticking a small vertical wing in the middle of the fuselage near the CoM(no ctrl surfaces).
.
But overall good, your plane inspired the cockpit of my most recent plane!
.
.
btw what is this "wing switches" you mention with bagel
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook I could load that in, but the fps would be so low that its be pointless. I might try and strip it down to 350 or so, I'm gonna do that right now. By reading your flight model guide, I think you must have only a few parts with drag so the flight model shouldnt take a beating
@PapaKernels ok thanks for letting me know. I could help put a bit if you want it, otherwise just tag me!
@MartinMartinTheAviator where are your new planes??
Sweet
Stelth me
Nice suspension!

@KLM_747 yeah, that first if X, if Y, then Z code is pretty simple, I could do that. I thought you had made what you are mentioning below, sorry
That Mooney is looking beautiful

@XP I only know it from 74 Gear's Hollywood vs. Reality XD
Yeah... you lost me. No more F-104 project for me lol sorry and @KnightOfRen I'm not entering your challenge now
MD-11
L-1011 @XP I was literally gonna say L-1011 -- great minds think alike
Grumman X-29
His comment remains
Ultralights dont have jets lmao but ok
@AlmostMobileFriendly hang on tight™
@XP @tsampoy your nice
@WiiMini thanks mate
@QuitePossiblyMangled oh wow that was a spotlight, thanks!
@QuitePossiblyMangled indeed
@KnightOfRen spotlight, no upvote lol
@KnightOfRen one hour later...
@KnightOfRen oh well now that your on the site, can you link me one of those ultralights your working on?
Here is my WIP
@KnightOfRen I'll submit my f104 I guess. It might be a while since I am building parallel to bagel

@KnightOfRen oh! Cool what are yours? I'd like to see them and give advice if you post unlisted
@KnightOfRen what are your ultralights? Ergi's?
Interesting
@rexrexThezion trust me it's a good strat. I rarely use it but it's on the KEA--the ultimate sign
@WiiMini ah yes I just commented his post. I blocked him out of mindless rage(and probably vice versa)

@5Ewok oh I forgot to mention that, check the desc now
@XP ok
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook exactly that(thanks for letting me know btw)
