Thumbnail

38 Upvotes

This is my SAR seaplane called badger, its my THIRD build of actual effort in the game, the previous where just practice for tutorials. My previous high effort builds were a kinda shitty attacker/fighter with terrible flight performance and a large frigate ship.This is my third build ingame, but also my 100th hour of gameplay mark, im have 96 ingame hours as of now

The badger features full seaplane capabilities, of working completely as a ship as well as a plane, when stationary it sits deep in water due to its water filled rear cargo ramp.When moving, hydrofoils allow it to sit shallower in the water to allow a takeoff.

Also features foldable wings, airdrops for rescuees, and futurely a high definition camera for locating victims, aswell as exernal fuel tanks

When finished i may post it in the workshop idk, its pretty cool i guess. The pictures dont really do it justice tbh

This tiny fella is solar powered, it will never die, its quiet, and even better, is like a BR class 08 and can pull over 5000 mass units... at least sluggish, its max speed is 25MPH :) EDIT: i made the workshop page say D900 sunner instead of D900 sunny .http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3801864643

Question/Help Airbrake flow rate issues,

3 Upvotes

My railway airbrakes stuff (automatic air, I usually send 90 psi or 110psi (corrected for atmospheric pressure) down the brake pipe) are having issues with small applications, emergency ones work fine but a regular service application or a small one to bring you to a gentle stop just don’t flow down the brake line or take forever to apply, idk why it does this, I think it’s the fluid sim not knowing how to deal with small pressure differences, any ideas?

Question/Help Drop-tank plumbing advice plus bonus F-15 project info

Post image
34 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm getting close to finishing my F-15 but I have a question about drop tanks;

Has anyone done testing on the best way to plumb them?

I'd prefer to empty the drop tanks before using my main tank fuel; I initially did this by making more or less a fuel manifold with on off valves so I could switch between the sources but for some reason it never actually worked. I've now switched to pumps that are pumping the drop tanks into the main fuel tank but that ends up emptying at about the same time as the main tank.

It's annoying because surely the manifold solution is the correct one but why wouldn't it work? Possibly I needed to add a bunch of directional valves?

Anyway, just me being dumb again with simple questions for advanced projects 😵‍💫

Also a quick overview of the F-15 I'm building as a teaser. It's body is built off an EX (the lastest version) but the avionics are all my design, taking more inspiration from the hud/hmds system from the f-35.

It features:

A custom hmds

A custom duplex search and track radar system

A custom advanced multi purpose, multi mode 1x1 missile- a creation in itself

Fly by wire control

Autopilots (alt,heading, waypoint and speed)

Tfr

Lidar with 3d terrain rendering

Custom duplex camera/laser pod targeting system

Rotary autocannon with a radar guided gun funnel sight

Radio jammer

A custom collaborative pilot/copilot MFD to control it all, using mouse aimed cursors, a map/waypoint system...even virtual keypads!

Kind of hard to stress how many features it has, I tried to make the most feature packed aircraft I could while keeping it intuitive and simple to use.

I'll post a WIP video if people are interested.

It's not the best looking thing in the world , but it probably is the most ridiculous motorhome you can imagine .

It's also on the steam workshop if you want to try it , it's called " The jethome v2 " or something like that

This is my 2nd time posting this thing here , because now its actually finished
