kodemunkey Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yup, it's me again. When placing wings on an aircraft, for example delta wings, do i put one on each side, or can i make longer wings to add more lift? Because no matter how i design my aircraft, they always pitch forwards in flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 If your planes are pitching foward it means the centre of lift is behind the centre of mass. You could put your wings futher foward or move heavy stuff futher back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbow Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just keep moving the winds slightly forward or backwards until it feels more balanced. I believe in 0.17 there's going to be a feature to help see the centre of gravity. Correct me if im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsalis Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Centre of Mass (not gravity). As well as centre of Lift, centre of Thrust and center of Drag.I'm hoping for centre of mass for Full and Dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colmo Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Could you post a screenshot of one of your designs? Then we can tell you what you're likely doing wrong.My planes are perfectly balanced - give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
