It is not a problem that much, it was only 1 of the 3 points I talked about. Looked to me it was the thread , sorry if I polarized the discussion. ( and thanks for your answers )
For planes ? Rate of descent/ascent :D (like SmurfResearchX said) ( it is already in the game display, but won't hurt to have a bar ) Maybe G-force even if it have no impact on pilot yet ?
@plane918273645 for sure it is not targeted to me ^_^. I understand the spam-protection argument because it was the answer it was given to me when I joined and asked why the point limitation.
It make sense but in a second thought does not protect against spam.
Indeed, if someone want to spam the site, it only add minimal efforts. Just need to create 2 or 3 account with 30 points ( with some click bait, easily doable ).
Then with your few account you can create a legion of spam account who are legitimated by the upvotes of your few accounts, and so on.
Because I'm new to the site, I don't know if it was confronted to heavy spam in the past, or if it is a proactive thing.
Also, I may be wrong in my suggestion, when I say it don't protect against spam but hinder legitimate new users to join the community (by voting).
I don't want to flame anything :)
The system of points ?
I don't care that much.
- It can be an encouragement for people to upload their craft, and doing so, make the community more alive. In a sense it represent an acknowledgement of someone work. It may be loved by those who care. It's good.
- I don't get the "you need 30pts to upvote and 100pts to post images". For newcomers like me, it said "you're nothing we don't want to know what you think".
- It can encourage posting crafts and posts mainly to have points. Obviously leading to clickbait titles and repetitives things. Example, to have my 30 pts, I uploaded a popular combat plane. Nothing original or interesting but popular enough to get me some points.
If I must choose only between "yes or no", I'm not against the points.
I downloaded your X31 to see the script.
Do you tried to change the wait 0.25 when your ASL is different than your previous ASL ?
Also, your first comparaison of ASL and ASLhold is really near the definition of ASLhold :
- set var ASLhold to altitude [ASL]
- set someVar to False
- if altitude [ASL] > ASLhold ...
It was needed for a better reactivity ? I mean in this time range, altidude [ASL] is probably equal ASLhold no ?
You can try putting the two motors on the same vertical axle, and not the inverted motor on top of the first motor.
At least I did this a few times, I'm not sure it will help for your design.
In the following image : pure art
Red is the vertical axis, static.
Blue is the motor 1. Attached to red.
Green is the inverted motor, attached to red.
hateful posts are not better. Well you don't say if generic posts are toxic or if generic posts deserve toxic gaz, but one way or the other I don't get the point of your short statement.
If it is a private joke in the SR2 community, please excuse me ^_^ (I lack 2nd degree)
Yes same to me. It brought meconfusion but I found 2 solutions :
- 1, in the suggestion listing page, select "discussion" then select again "suggestions".
- 2, in the suggestion listing page, do your search and replace Feedback?s=Open with Feedback?s=New in the URL
You can totally do as Kero showed you.
There is a Vizzy block "activation group [number]".
with the blocks while [ ], [ ]=[ ] and activation group [ ]you can then write in Vizzy what he said.
When Kero say while(Ag=true)it means while ( activation group [the Number You Want to bind] = true )
I may be wrong , but I think while this will work for deactivacting your orbit program with a key, you won't be able to activate it a second time unless you put this while loop inside an other loop. So maybe put the Kero loop inside an other loop to be able to activate your orbit program multiple times.
Probably it was obvious for Kero and that's why he didnt stated it, but it is also possible I am wrong when I say it will only work once.
edit : the action group is created when you use it in Vizzy this way, even if it don't show up on the action group list in flight. Do tests if you want to be sure.
Floating on water ? Yes yet I did not found it ^_^
Floating in the air ? Never heard of.
Please don't share the location if it is a confirmed easter egg :)
Hi FaridRjb :
* for choosing your engines type/fuel/settings, you can use the "performances" tools ingame. It show you the change in your dV, TWR, time of burn etc, when you changes the settings of your engines ingame. ( if you don't have a "performances" menu, maybe you need to install the "simple engineers" mod, I did not tried without. ) Wikipedia can be of use also, example
* For the automatic liftoff. If you need to get started with Vizzy, you can use this video, it is just an example I guess there is more videos on youtube. You can then experiment in your programs. If you are more of a math guy, this video have a lot of good informations. And, you can join the Simple Rocket Chat to ask specific questions on the Vizzy channel.
I hope you'll find what you are looking for, my advice is experiment and watch/read general rocketry videos/pages. Good luck and have fun :)
Hi Johnny :)
While it don't fulfill your request, you still can clip some chutes "vertically" inside your craft.
( put one chute on the side, rotation tool to your wish, mirror tool, translation tool to hide them ( any order ) )
Chutes are a work in progress for sure, their time will come :)
When you says "ANY" build, what do you really mean please ? Like... any build with a docking port ? Or did you found a trick ? ( maybe everyone know there is a trick except me ? )
@plane918273645 Haha ^_^ I'm 1000m/s behind. Don't you see me on your mirror ? Oh, your mirror is on fire ? if you break again your record and get escape velocity, let us know :D
I did others tries and got 1739m/s before the forward wheels leave the runway. My rear wheels are somewhat bouncing and rise maybe 20cm so maybe it is not a "legal" attempt.
We are still really far away from Plane918273645's record.
Let us know if you break it !
Because I just tried and got 954m/s with a simple solid booster. Is this forbidden ?
I recorded in chase side view so we can see the wheels don't leave the ground until the end of the runway, at this moment the craft is going 954m/s.
Sorry if I broke a rule, you did not stated what they are.
Color-wise I prefer the Hero.
For the rear window I prefer the Hero (or Criminal, is the same).
For the rear shell I prefer the Hero ( or Vigilante, is the same)
For the spare wheel I prefer the Vigilante.
Yes there is RSS by AnotherFirefox.
But it was not updated recently. old version
With this mod you should use the Real Engine mod with it, but I don't find the link. Also, while Im not sure, I think he is doing a rework of theses mods so we have to wait :)
Oh. I can't explain why.
If I remember, we had to choose a category when uploading the photo ( safe for children, sexually suggestive etc ) Maybe you choose a suggestive pic ?
Also, make sure you used the same email address on the gravatar website and here.
I have no clue for other reasons leading to your profile picture not appearing here, sorry.
@Insanity Oh, sorry ^_^ I understood "systems" in the meaning "things that works together", but now that you said it must be "planetary systems" it become obvious.
If I understood, you want to use the piston only with action groups. Pressing AG2 one time would extend the piston, pressing a second time retract it, and so on.
If it is what you want, so do this ( I tested it works ):
- Select your piston, click "properties", and in "piston input" ( you have "slider 2" ) , click "slider 2" and write Command Pod.FlightProgram.PistonVar
- Enter vizzy and use this short snippet
- Now, pressing action group 2 will alternate between extended and retracted.
edit : Sflanker was faster than me ^_^ ( the solution seems different. His solution looks better because it don't need Vizzy. Do his solution. )
I can't tell you you "have to" change your RCS to regular ones, but you can try. I did a few test with the multi directional RCS and indeed they sometime had a strange behavior.
Let us know when you find a solution :)
I've heard multiple times the multi directionnal RCS can cause problem, and that we should use the normal ones until they are fixed. More experienced players could tell you more, or different, things.
( also , if you want to translate your craft using RCS, don't forget to click the "translate mode" : the cross at the right of the screen, because the default mode is rotation )
Hovering the mouse on your craft orbit should make appear "white icons" for the "next" closest approach.
Maybe the (in flight) "map view->map options->UI verbosity" have to be set to high, I'm not sure aobut this.
Does the one, or the other, work ?
If the image is on you computer, upload it somewhere ( imgur or discord or whatever ). Then, if Discord, you can "copy the image location" with right clic or long press if mobile. If imgur, they give you a link.
If the image is on a website : go on the website and do right clic -> copy image location ( or long press if mobile ). Depending on your browser, the sentence can be different, it can be something like "copy the image URL" or something like that. You can also "open the image in a new tab" and copy the URL in the adress bar if it is easier for you.
I hope you'll be able to add images to your posts
You can try : 
(In a post of mine, it initially did not worked, I added an empty line after this one and it worked, but i don't know what is the real cause, so edit your post until it works)
Oh ! You can try with Vizzy maybe. I guess you don't shoot your craft at hyperspeed "at wild" and you have a mean of targeting a body ? With Vizzy you could use the on enter planet SOI to automatically fire the ion engine ( all planets have gravity, and you said the trick works around planets ).
Alternatively, if you want to stop your ship "in space" far away from a planet sphere of influence, you could link an ActionGroup to something like : lock retrograde, fire FTL drive until speed is low. Your FTL drive should be able to stop you, because it was able to send you here in the first place.
Sorry if I did not understood the problem/how your ship works.
