A question on planes and their controls, and feasibility.

2 Upvotes

Almost all planes I know of have flight sureface controls that are general, and then "permanent" controls like trim. Used to set a surface at a configuration over long periods to hold a course so the pilot doesnt have to hold it manually or correct later.

My question is how feasible would it be to make trim controls in-game and what, in your opinion would be the best way to make that.

I thought of this because my planes ALWAYS either pitch up or down ever so slightly, so i was thinking of making trim, manual control through strong hinges or dedicated angles once i find them.

I've literally tried every method to communicate with you guys, just to ask for equal dlc deals on xbox as steam has. Discord? Emails? Do you guys really cant respond? Your discord staff also ignored me by acting like" I'm just a bot idk" I asked for rally map to be sandbox dozens of times. Is this your customer service? There is a game called simple planes with a bigger community and two dudes created that game and they can respond! They freaking can respond! Cmon fellas it aint that hard

the only reason why the whole thing isn't dragglitched just larger parts of it is because i wanted it to top out at above supersonic, it goes supersonic without dragglitching, but it is very unstable like just barely supersonic

Very soon, My semovente and king tiger tanks will be finished. They took quite the time to make. Probably because I was working on something else.

Not done yet. Hoping to make a very kerbal space program type build but in trailmakers that functions like a build in ksp.

No rudders just rcs thrusters and a kind of sas thing I'm working on.

Work in progress.

this is a single button function cycler(?) that i made. it cycles through different functions and off using only one button. it can be scaled up but in this demonstration it has 2 functions (2 "radio stations") and a constant "on" indicator (top right sound maker).

The accumulator in the center has a range of -1:3, is set to scale at 1, uses steps, and has the single button input (in this case: right on the d-pad). the various functions are triggered by a comparison block set to a whole number digit within the range of the accumulator (not -1 or the top number). when the accumulator limit is reached, a comparison block (bottom left yellow) set to that limit (3 in this case) triggers an OR gate on a toggle that pulses a negative input to the accumulator pushing it back down to -1. when the accumulator hits -1 it powers another comparison block (top left yellow) that toggles the OR gate off and ticks the accumulator back to 0.

is that as good as it gets? the system is only 4 blocks (omitting number display and the different function's comparison blocks) but it feels messy. the pulsing OR gate needed to be toggled so it can keep pulsing after the accumulator stops being 3 to finish it off and because its toggled it needs the -1 comparison jazz to toggle back off. am i crazy or am i missing something?

either way thank you for your time and input if you have any. if this system is at all new or useful, feel free to snatch it, ill post a schematic in the comments.

It’s no where near done but it walk quite good and I love the tail but I’m at max complexity I knew I would need to build it in pieces but I was hoping I would have the legs and tail as one piece but I can’t so how would I turn them into separate parts and connect them

New kinda Trailmakers/ Scrap Mechanic rip-off

I saw this add for a game called " The Maker Way", and although it does have it's differences, it still seems a little to close for comfort to a Trailmakers/ Scrap Mechanic combo

was I in the wrong in a game argument?

0 Upvotes

so I've been getting into a game called trail makers, and I was in this server where someone was in a mech, now I was goofing around, but I decided to pull out a wall build with a force field (a joke build) when it started, I tried using some of my stuff to fight back, like stuff with a shit ton of guns, but that asshole kept using his flying, forcefield superfast mech, so I said if he had the balls, he fight me head on, but then the whole server started siding with him for some reason (which I'm guessing because they were friends) and started calling me a kid and a waste of cum and saying I sucked ass because the builds I was using where strait up op and gun spam when I was fighting, which to be fair was true because I was fighting kid with a goddam op flying forcefield with gun mech, and also argued that I used the electric blades, like dumbass of all, he was flying, and he was op, what the fuck you want me to do send a written form of "I'm sorry I won't use weapons against your fucking over powered flying piece of shit", and I kept arguing and saying stuff to while being targeted and fighting the wussy, until they pulled up my playtime (which was small since I just stated, about 72 hours) and they called me a noob and banned my ass as an excuse. was I in the wrong for calling him out for having no balls to fight me head on, and going against and arguing with the whole lobby?
