I'll add automatic score for some tricks, but you can try to make it now!

1) Climb to 100m for less than 50 sec of sim.time (STOL Master award)
2) Return to start pos (upside down) for less than 3 minutes (Reverse Master award)
3) Touch inside cave "roof" with your tail with no damage (Cave explorer award)
4) Survive complete loop starting from altitude less than 10 meters (Loop master award)
5) Break aircraft in flight with high G force maneuver (Kamikadze award)

From internals:
Wing force now with quadratic part of V

Density and structure:


Water wave sim is like that one:

Propeller animation texture:

Just thrusters for the speed and angle of the plane?

[Kilinich]

Just thrusters for the speed and angle of the plane?

yes, 4 thrusters:
engine (thrust)
high wing (lift)
low wing (lift)
tail (pitch)

all with scripted power depends on velocity and angle.

Some questions about:

{(Scene.entityByGeomID((readable(entity)).geom))._lift}

Scene.entityByGeomID? What does this mean? Also the (readable(entity)).geom, I am confused about.

For the main engine, what is Scene.my.spd? I can understand scene.my.power, but why have 2 variables?

{(Scene.entityByGeomID((readable(entity)).geom))._lift}
Scene.entityByGeomID? What does this mean? Also the (readable(entity)).geom, I am confused about.

That's the way to get to geom's variables from thruster's code.
First ((readable(entity)).geom) get geomID from thruster itself
and second (Scene.entityByGeomID) find geom with that geomID.

For the main engine, what is Scene.my.spd? I can understand scene.my.power, but why have 2 variables?

scene.my.vel - vx,vy velocity
scene.my.spd - velocity projection on body direction vector (means speed of moving forward)
scene.my.power - engine thrust

The idea is propeller power decrease with speed because of air pressure, it can't generate any thrust on some max speed.

Kilinich, I'm working on a speed boat modification of your this scene, essentially scaling everything up or down, so the plane's pontoon becomes the boat, and the propeller becomes the boat's high speed propell+er, only one problem I'm having is the thruster is always on, depending on the throttle position. this means the boat experiences acceleration when the prop is outside of the water I'm trying to figure out how to have the thruster provide thrust only when the propeller is under water. I tried looking at your Inside polygon scripts, but I don't know how to use that code for this,

can you help?

[Kilinich]

Yes, if water is below y=0 then power could be

Code: Select all

power = {(Scene.entityByGeomID((readable(entity)).geom)).pos(1) < 0 ? {scene.my.power}: 0)}
