Algodoo

Nice tutorial

OK this is going to get hard to explane
if you look at this older version of my b58 the wings are clearly shown
http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=49739
the main wing is the front fixed one and should have a LOT more lifting force than
the rear moveable pitch controll wing, its job is to controll the angle of attack of the
main wing, the main wing is suposed to do most of the lifting of the plane
if you notice in that scene the plane is suspended by a spring close to the ballance point there is a big fixtate on the nose that can be deleted to test and adjust the ballance THIS IS CRITICAL
Most planes ballance between 25 and 33% of the wing Chord
for what we are doing you need the plane to ballance just aft of the center of the K wing and just ahead of the main wheels
If that still doesnt make any sense I will try and break it down further
PS I used the old style K wings in mine because I could actualy figgure out how to tune them

what you need to do to make it realistic is reduce the power of the rear wing so its
not realy trying to lift the plane just change the angle of the main wing
the weight of the plane should be close to ballanced on the main wing, slightly forward is better for stability
you MAY have to increase the power of the main wing or change the angle slightly
Its a real rewarding challenge to get it all working realisticly
I know my plane is far from perfect but its not realy done either
PS in my current plane there is lots of stuff moved and changed that was just an example of how to do the ballancing see it just gets more fun
LOL

PSS this is me for real

wow Bill sounds like your mom is a real trooper!
I wish you and her the very best!!
I lost my mother 2 years ago and I have hole in my heart that nothing will ever fill

that is VERY strange and cool

Nice speed

Much better!!
Yea thats me LOL
Its a lot cheaper and faster to build stuff in algodoo
and you can play in any weather

Nice

Very Challenging
PS I break the plane trying to do #4

some controlls would be nice?
I'm not gonna disect the thing to figure it out

Is it suposed to run?

Very cool

ok how do you fire the stupidly huge thing?

Just select the whole tank and look at the information box?
That will tell you

VERY COOL

Is this pfjeka?
NICE tank

The controls are a bit hard to use but it works well and looks cool

Awesome

Still backwards
But it sure looks great

Nice! works 100% sim time on my comp

Very cool design

The controls are right now but the flight physics are wierd and unrealistic
its like the pitch controll is way too powerfull

If you think you can beat Kilinich at ANYTHING you are sorely mistaken dipshit

nice

@electronicboy, THANK YOU

Verry COOL great job

Works fine for me too

I like it I'm wanting to model my High Point 4595 carbine and may use some of your ideas, will give credit of course

Well done
