  • What is positive / negative angle of attack? 10 months ago

    irl it is positive when you pitch up relative to your airspeed direction. If it is opposite of the game data, just take the negative of the number

  • Advance FT delay code on live input (input from real time in game number) 10 months ago

    If you put delay in auto-aim code, the aim will be inaccurate. In addition, the delay methods in the previous forum post only work for fixed discrete values, like in simple animations. Please explain what extra features you want to add on top of auto-aim.
    .
    Your clamp has syntax errors and will not work. This is what the game will see:
    - argument 1: TargetHeading - Heading) / 180 ==> parenthesis mismatch
    - argument 2: 1/1 ==> constant of 1
    - argument 3: missing
    You probably want clamp((TargetHeading - Heading) / 180, -1, 1)

  • KiHa T100 TMU 10 months ago

    @YarisSedan sure, you can use the code, there is no engine failure sim btw
    If you check the FT, there are 4 types of code: cockpit, input, general code (no prefix), and display. All the funny interlocks live in the input layer after they read from the cockpit layer, such that the player inputs are overwritten

  • Funky trees for rotator code? 10 months ago

    If doing 1 and 2 together, you can use a timer method:
    smooth(Q ? A+B : 0, 1) > A ? 1 : 0
    Where:
    Q is activator
    A is activation delay
    B is deactivation delay

  • is there anyone know how to maker EPR gauge? 10 months ago

    How do you want to simulate it with your code? I can't tell.
    .
    This is one way to simulate EPR. Since EPR is related to thrust, you can use the engine thrust output variable, and convert it to a plausible value. Example:
    .
    Gauge input EPR:
    1 + (Thrust / MaxThrust)*Multiplier
    - Thrust: output variable of the engine
    - (constant) MaxThrust: replace with the maximum value of Thrust, which you can find by testing your plane
    - (constant) Multiplier: replace with a suitable positive number

  • afterbourger 10 months ago

    nice flames, this is definitely me after borgar
    but, be careful of:
    - landing gear entering engine bay
    - pancake plane (fuselage being too thin when viewed from the side)

  • Weapon Grab System 10 months ago

    I think (i don't have VR):
    - If you can drag it around in flat-screen mode, then your setup should work (aside from whether the human body will actually let you do it)
    - A control base can have any combination of the 6 degrees of freedom, so you can do anything with just one control base at the pivot point
    - If the control base has too many degrees of freedom, such that there can be multiple orientations of the object for a grip position, then you will get undefined behavior

  • What is your phone 10 months ago

    samsung s10+
    the more parts you run at a time, the more likely a lag spike will happen, and overload the game touch input handler, which will sometimes crash the game, which is very fun (latest sp version + manufacturer nerfing your phone over time moment). It basically hard caps me to the VR limit, which is ok i guess

  • Why is the Nosferratu so underrated? 10 months ago

    It does have one downside (in ac6) which is that it is unstable after doing a high-g turn
    I challenge all CFA builders to recreate its behavior

  • In-game gauges 10 months ago

    You can restrict the movement of the needle just using a certain function. If that's not what you want, provide graphs and state diagrams to help others understand
    .
    You can learn FT using the list of functions and by trying to port designs/programs from outside SP. As it turns out, gauges are an easy way to learn and apply FT, since the functions aren't hidden by game physics

    In some world that my brother and I came up with, there is something that is lucky to come across. "hpgb" is the short form of the term
    On other sites I might also use the term "ntnc", it stands for nataniachan (funny fake name)

  • How do you make good fighter design? 10 months ago

    Make sure to provide enough space for engines and pilot(s), a lot of fighter builders don't do it.
    Also, planes are very often not flat on the top and bottom when viewed from the side.
    When both of these appear, it is pancake plane syndrome

  • Satsuma AMP 10 months ago

    Drives nice, for a quick improvement i would suggest reducing the brake torque, since you can currently stop from max speed in about a second

  • How To Electric Car? 10 months ago

    @YarisSedan a torque curve simulation naturally limits speed when force = drag
    Usually, torque drops a lot after the redline on turboshaft and gasoline/diesel engines. But on motors, it depends. DC motors have a no-load speed, which depends on design. AC motors are limited by the switching rate of the inverter. But both types of motors might be further limited by software if there are safety requirements.
    On jet planes, you might manage the acceleration of the plane using a curve as well. Jet thrust varies with airspeed.

  • Any tips of STOL wing systems / added lift systems? 10 months ago

    Try a large hidden flap with NACAProp (can't remember exact spelling) wing profile

  • How To Electric Car? 10 months ago

    For any car (or jet) engine, torque (or thrust) is proportional to input, except during the throttle response duration and at very low speeds for car engines. You can make your own torque curve/controller to naturally restrict speed. If you want to add a software speed limiter you should also do so using the engine.
    .
    If a motor has a constant power output, and torque is proportional to (speed / power), then the torque curve will have the form T = k/v, where k is a constant. To prevent excessive torque at low speeds, the function must be clamped. (You can also use your own torque curve formula, I usually use joined straight lines instead of a smooth curve, but generally, torque must decrease with speed)
    .
    Other speed limiter methods have side effects:
    Airbrakes might cause unnatural behavior at high speeds and in the air, which need more FT to counteract
    maxAngularVelocity produces a harsh and fixed speed limit. It is only suitable if the car has a hard speed limiter

  • How do I make an input get deacrivated when I turn another input on 11 months ago

    If talking about activation groups:
    you can't
    .
    If talking about variables:
    Remember that if a setter is not active, it will not set the value of its corresponding variable during that frame. This means you can make a setter that changes a variable only in specific conditions.
    .
    E.g., set myVar2 to 0 during a rising edge of myVar1
    myVar2: 0
    - activator: rate(myVar1)>0

  • How to Make Dive Bomber Turrets? [Resolved] 11 months ago

    Also check the rotator settings
    - Set the rotation range to the value specified by the code (you can also do this by setting the InputController.min and ".max values)
    - Set shortestAngle to true if required
    - Front gunner code for the connection structure (plane - horizontal rotation - vertical rotation - gun) can probably be converted to rear gunner code by adding or subtracting 180 degrees from the local y angle to the target

  • How to Make Dive Bomber Turrets? [Resolved] 11 months ago
