Like the title says, I'm making an engine for airplane physics. It's going pretty good but.. lets just say I have some work to do.

The + and - keys on the right of the numpad control the throttle and use the arrowkeys to aim.

I have attached the airplane file and heres the source:




Oh, and here's the airplane image:

Thats because it zrotates the object when you steer. I would change it but I don't know how to make it rotate to its side anyother way when you turn.

Will this be an accurate portrayal of aircraft performance (ie: lift, drag or their coefficients if you prefer and pitching moments will be included?) If so I'll be very interested in how this goes. Good luck

Thats weird. The turning didn't go crazy before but I retested the code at the top and it went weird....

Don't worry no more crazy steering.

Here is an upgraded version using the same media posted at the top:

It's not fun at all for me. I can't seem to steer very fast at all and I only seem to have rudder.

Thank you, it is also fun making it.

I'm going to add in different things like flaps and brakes, and make it possible to land. Hopefully that will make it more fun.

I also like your location:

New version! Using the keys "<" & ">" you can roll the plane sideways. I'm working on the freefall for when you are going to slow in the air, but right now it is pretty bad. I've changed it so that when you press the "+" and "-" keys, insead of increasing the speed instantly, it increases the throttle and has the speed# follow behind. You'll see what I mean if you test it. The throttle is printed in the corner and the speed below it.

Edit:

I forgot the code

If you insist, but it's just an engine so it wont be anything graphical.

Hmm, could someone else post a screen? My paint program isn't working, so I can't save the screens.

I'm almost finished making a crashing system. It may not be perfected but I'll post it up sometime soon.

How about
If ''Nex:/' and 'ChrisF~1:/' mode=command mirrored' = 1; then increase voltage on PC 200%;

Downloading...
Probably using the turn object, pitch object, roll object and move object commands.


Since the other one was scaring you guys so much...
