Guest GroundHOG-2010 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Strange, shows up perfectly for me...Could I request something ? A reversed version of the propellers, to do push-pull props like the AR-234... Also, the coaxial collider node isn\'t pratical, you should check thatThe AR-234 is a jet bomber? (I didn\'t even need to look that up) I am also getting the same problem as other people (the one where the turboprop engine doesn\'t show up).

Cthulufaic Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Next thing we need is a wing that can fold, then we can make some of those planes with wings that fold(The name escapes me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot Knight Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 There\'s a good number of planes with folding wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DYJ Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Planned for tomorrow:A simple cone shaped propeller engine in 4 configurations:1m pulling1m pushing0.5m pulling0.5m pushing2 surprises Oh yeah, and that old-school engine I showed you in the last video.And the coaxial helicopter-unit has been given a slight power output increase and it\'s node_collider scaled down considerably.

Specific engines for specific things! I used to have a game where the propeller would just turn the other way when I went in reverse(and yes, it put a reverse on planes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pina_coladas Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 The point being James Cameron likes cool dual rotor death-choppers? I kinda like them too. And now I\'m gonna BUILD THEM (new parts permitting).One small problem to report with the turboprop: it likes to 'collide' with wings and explode if you maneuver too jerkily. Craft is attached. It looks pretty much the same as one of the example planes in the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GroundHOG-2010 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I haven\'t seen any of his other films, except titanic (gotta love a good drama) so I wouldn\'t know. But the helicopters on there we designed that if built right, could fly in the atmosphere of earth, which is the same as that of kerbin, so why wouldn\'t it work. Also, they look cool and I want to build a dragon gunship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Weird, some people can figure out how to use the turboprop.I can\'t even see it no matter how many times I click.Also the large rotor does not take shocks well, if I land a bit hard it will 'bounce' off of whatever its attached to, can be fixed by strapping it down with struts I think.Ill grab rev1 now and see if that fixes anything, I am a bit behind on the thread here.

Try placing it in mid are about three meters from where you want to place it and scroll down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Couldn\'t engine damage be turned off via a plugin rather than have huge position offsets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilio Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I can\'t manage to pilot that helicopter... it spins uncontrolably.... I have control surfaces, ADVSAS but it\'s uncontrolable... Im on 0.14.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Do the props freewheel? From what I say in the videos, they do, but very very slowly... That\'s kind of disturbing in the case of the heli rotor, as I\'d like to try building an autogyro sometime. Could you possibly make a version with thinner blades that spins much more (realistically) faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Barrett Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I tried editing the .cfg for more thrust because the rotors are so weak, but there were no effects changed in the flying proccess afterwards.Do you think you could release one with 5 times the power? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYJ Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Tim: what are you trying to lift, the mun?I\'ve seen both causeless and r4m0n build absurdly large helicopters that fly strangely well.Mossman: The props freewheel yes, The first video is however from an earlier version when the spinning wasn\'t a function of airspeed. And the current value is just a number I pulled out of my ass.Emilio: What helicopter are you refering to exactly? I can\'t recall posting any .craft files.Evolution: I\'m not in charge of the plugin side of things but getting rid of the engine damage is something we have discussed.Rocketscienist: What?Groundhog: Avataresq rotors is something that I might potentially make in the future.SmiteZero: A single rotor helicopter is also something I\'d like to make, mainly because fenestrons look badass, the plugin does however not support that atm.If anyone has a helicopter craft file they think work well I\'d like to see that someone make a 'share your helicopters' thread in the correct forum, the reason I haven\'t released any craft files for helicopters is that I have yet to come up with a launch system that doesn\'t looks highly absurd.
