this time: the Multicopter, but plagued by control problems, still








last episodes tank-dropping airmobile unit was slightly more successful

Pretty impressive DrZebra but I don't think I'll ever be able to watch any Besiege videos again without seeing Coot's mobile cannon in the back of my mind

Gaming wouldn't be the same without Dr.Zebra! HAHAHAHAHAH
Way to go, pal- Way to go!

lol that last one when it first flew over the windmill then tried to come back. Kill those damn chickens arrghh!

lol, I love this game.

You need holders for those bombs. And then you drop them. Like so:





Those big props have too much torque I have found. But thanks to your videos I just realized what the settings are for. Maybe I can have counterrotating props?

the props only work right hand turns.. so no counterrotating props, but as the next best thing, I try to generate counter torque with spinning dead weights.. which has some effect, but still not the desired controlability.. So in this next episode, I try to have a general look at torque and experiment with basic strategies of dealing with unbalanced forces..




also: cruise missles!

it is so awesome what people invent.. this one is genius, with really having blade pitch and all that:


this guy is awesome:



and a flying battleship, complete with canons... sandbox games are amazing:




more flying machines: http://steamcommunity.com/app/346010/discussions/0/611696927923218170/

It really does look a lot of fun for a very small price.It's a pity I'm not very creative (I struggled with KSP) or I would purchase it.

well some peole are really "genius" like creative in the game, but those generally build for the buildin´s sake. Thats what really amazes me about sandbox games.

But what is nice, is that the difficulty is actually quite balanced and the riddles, with each level beeing a new one are really solveable with different approaches.. The more complex machines I built for fun did actually not help much in getting the levels done, there a brute force simple purpose build is often better... and you don´t need to be overly creative as the level-tasks really are straight forward: destroy xyz survive this and that...

here is for instance how dukley plays it, with a lot of completly different approaches.. and it is quite fun, that the levels are pretty doable for so many approaches, from simple to complex...





and my broadside at the magical flak tower.. but still drunk flying

cripes, look at that stuff, planes, helicopters, flying battleships, and here I am with some snowplows and metal blades...



makes me feel like a reject from this movie

lol

well, it is not so that many people wouldn´t go for tried&test home methods from real life without success:





not my invention...

Lol DrZebra!

LOLOL give that man a hand.

this guy also has a noteworthy clearing of all levels via the same, simple catapult, to music from Karate Kid...

and for the more refined technical approaches to bloodshed, these are watchworthy, too:

another of my helicoptes.. using steering blocks for prop pitch control and wheels instead of spinning blocks for engines... you can actually fly controled that way, but the many buttons still have me confused..

(2keys for each engine + 2 keys for each pitch, = 20 keys to fly)

Lol DrZebra,what are you,an octopus?

yeah, I might have gone a bit overboard there.. trying to keep flyin simple is hard, if you don´t want the puny flightblocks (those archimedes-screw type thingies) but real props.

what it is interesting is, that you can apparently use those circular saws to generate counter torque.. this vid by a crazy guy obsessed with fireballs has some interesting ideas of how to exploit this...

just another silly little build by me:

That thing at 2:45 is purely epic.

So just an idea here for you, why not try to do like they did with the Folgore and have the one wing be a bit longer (put it one space further out or move the prop slightly etc..) to give that side more lift to counter the torque.

the idea is nice for propulsion props.. but the lifting ones induce a z-axis moment. You can apparently try to cover that with the circular saws, as they have a great deal torque, but my problem at the rate of complex aircrafts is the framerate.. it really drops with so many parts.

I couldn't get it to work trying that with the propulsion props anyway lol. I think it would work, but size would have to be too large. I've been trying to keep things simple, as you should see how spectacularly I fail at even trying to make a catapult lol. did manage a simple bomber, though, so it's a start. I'm not so great at these kinds of things, probably why I have the moon full of Kerbals due to failed rescue attempts, I think I have more up there than on the ground... lol.

what you can do, though, is using the steering blocks for controling angle of attack. I recomend using the wrench icon to turn their turning speed to lowest.. and it can sametimes be a bit odd. The aerodynamics are a bit tricky in the game.

Not mine but I dont recall seeing it in this thread.
