@Graingy it is a normal (perpendicular) to a surface (you know what it is)
The computer uses it to do extremely big brain math stuff that i don't know how to write, and makes reflections from it
@Graingy a compound curve of straight lines looks like this
Red is MainGearLeg, blue is MainGearDoor. However, you should not program using normal linear equations in real FT because it is unreadable
@Graingy plot the points of position (y-axis) over the animator (x-axis), and make your lines/curves from there
Personally, the few times I have done this, I never used curves, only straight lines
@Graingy
I found one that I've used before. It's only a main landing gear with a single door, but the gear movement is offset slightly to prevent touching the door.
Timer: smooth(GearDown?0:10,1)
MainGearLeg: lerp(0, 1, inverselerp(0, 9, Timer)) where 0 is retracted
MainGearDoor: lerp(1, 0, inverselerp(5, 10, Timer)) where 1 is open
Are you using auto prop pitch? The startup table suggests that the engine goes to 110% stable rpm first, builds up prop pitch (and thrust), and drops to 100% rpm
It is easiest to make landing gear FT by treating it as an animation, and planning it using an animation timeline. Then, you can use linear mapping or math functions.
@Subsere
Consider an unrelated example: Activate1 ? smooth(Activate2,0.5) : smooth(Activate2,0.5)
.
The value of this expression starts as -1, as both activation groups are off. If you toggle Activate1 on and off, the value stays as -1. Note that when Activate1 is off, the expression evaluates the second smooth function, and when Activate1 is on, the first smooth function is evaluated.
.
Without restarting the simulation, turn on Activate2 and wait until the expression has the value 1. Then, turn off Activate1 and the value will jump to -1, and increase towards 1. This means that while the second smooth function was running, the first smooth function remained constant at its previous value of -1. It only updated when it was chosen.
.
This behavior is very unintuitive and difficult to track down, so you should never use smooth (or sum) in places where their updates can be suspended.
Are you using auto orient? Choose the input (pseudo-FT) for pitch control:
YES: INPUT = -PitchAngle / Gyroscope.pitchRange. This will set the target pitch angle of the gyroscope to the same as the plane's pitch angle. However, there is still a resistance to rotation due to gyro stabilization.
NO: INPUT = 0
soon(tm) (this week)
is the camera too disgusting or nah (i made the armored core 4th gen camera from memory)
.
current confirmed changes:
- nerf normal speed, buff quick-boost speed
- nerf staff mode light attack

@PlaneFlightX yeah i mean exact spacing between parts
Although, earlier in my current build, i made a reference origin so i can see if parts are not aligned
Flight instruments are always in the center, and throttle on the left. Wing everything else
.
For trains, speed and brake pressure big and in the center
@Windows2000 SPR switches are small af, any larger train cars can't use them
Also the combination of goofy tooling and big maps gives trouble
So with these problems, i don't really tech-support this map
Normals manip is proof that geometry isn't real and we are living in a simulation (jk)
They are methods that cause fuselage sides to look different from their geometry. Some tricks make interesting variations in surfaces
How does it glitch? Some tips (i'm on phone so it might be hard on pc)
Mirror parts wherever possible so you know where they are
Game has a built-in fine tuner: hover over a part > rotate button > circle thing (iirc)
Always follow a grid for easy precise spacing (e.g., 0.01 or 0.05)
Assign connections manually

Maybe they are just very easy to spot
when you want to drive but you really don't want to touch grass
@WillowTater i'm more of a 2005 civic guy myself, the last of the tuner civics
Cute (but no clue that she is a Su-34 if you don't say it though, kinda small for a Su-34)

@YarisHatchback it is an armored core
Unfortunate

be careful of using smooth in branches, smooth only updates when it is called, so the value in the other branch won't update
@Graingy i love the internet
this is the site of a live aeroschizo sighting !!!! i finally have the mark of popularity!! :NOWAYING: :DUBIOUS:
washed 😔
Might be packaged
Try working on the MusicPlayerScript component in a mod
@Graingy sekai de
@RepublicofWrightIsles no, they are different things
The term "astronomer" doesn't exist in classical themes as well
what does this mean
i can't see the image on this forum post but i can open it in a new tab
also l a r g e
is it the boc

After weight-balancing the helicopter, if you use the heading hold mode of the tail rotor, it should "just work" without gyros
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 totally normal
@OrangeConnor2 you are what you eat
@jamesPLANESii real
@ReynaldoHeavyIndustries no modded health though (except for the one part where the visual body connects to the hidden flight unit)
@LowtusF139 idk i haven't even seen any of the gameplay or anime
soon(tm) (this week)
is the camera too disgusting or nah (i made the armored core 4th gen camera from memory)

@Graingy kid named fine tuner:
Wait, so PC players don't try to have nice numbers for coordinates?
I only got these realistic ones: Copen because funny coffee break car, or ND Miat
@Graingy no, i don't have a pattern or preference
Make a cat, apparently it was cat day yesterday

@Graingy idk, mecha designers be cooking
@Graingy in general i just like planes that look like they come from an anime
@SAINAKAJIMA increase massScale of the piston, or reduce mass of parts connected to the piston
@Graingy the Su-47 is the most weeb plane to ever exist, followed by the F-15 S/MTD
On that topic, NASA should make a S/MTD mecha musume
Canards and/or reverse swept wings, gotta hit my weeb energy quota
Engines naturally have more acceleration at low speeds. You can multiply the input by the inverse of speed for a constant power

is this post a social experiment?
Normals manip is proof that geometry isn't real and we are living in a simulation (jk)

Check detacher force
Lock your gear with a magnet idk
Or try a configuration where the springs aren't vertical
How does it glitch? Some tips (i'm on phone so it might be hard on pc)
Mirror parts wherever possible so you know where they are
Game has a built-in fine tuner: hover over a part > rotate button > circle thing (iirc)
Always follow a grid for easy precise spacing (e.g., 0.01 or 0.05)
Assign connections manually
Or increase lift/ reduce mass
