I've been looking for a video on the physics of aircraft building in Trailmakers for so long. It turns out no one wants to make videos like this.

I love how you make trailmakers sound like a school learning enviroment.

Considering Arodynamics? I just hit it with a Hammer and slam on Gyros untill it works. Also, did you know that spoilers produce the most lift for both size and weight? They have the same lift as the large modular wing, and weigh 0.1kg for a 2x4 block, both those stats are stupid good. On another note, I encourage you to play arround with that piston "Gearshift" mechanic I discovered.

I made a swing wing system that based its position on if you were pitching or rolling because a high aspect wing is better for pitch and low aspect is better for roll

F-8 crusader I believe

If I show you all the control surfaces on my SU-57 you'd have a stroke

we need this man to get a better pc for this. thank you so much, my planes always fly unstable and now i can maybe make them work right!

X-29, X-36, and Gripen detected in thumbnail. 10/10 I approve

this is a great video! if you are up to the challenge, could build a small RC missile

THE CREATIONS ARE LINKED IN THE DESCRIPTION. also yes i am still taking suggestion on video topics.

Can you use a radar for guiding a missile cuz using the distance sensor is really bar for guidence

Hello past johnfrom yesterday, NEW LOGIC! NEW LOGIC GATES EVERYWHERE HAHA!

whats the point of the tracking if the auto tracking feature on the other cannon already does that \

Tracking targets. Ye sounds like missile thing. U should make one

I mean i have a different way of tracking targets and you wanna know i could share the info with you on something like discord

You should try making a radar that scans the sky and can accurately display the position of an aerial target in some form. Maybe even able to lock onto it once detected. You will likely have to use 500 meter distance sensors. Idk what platform you're on, but if you don't already have it you can probably get it from someone else.

btw im taking suggestions for projects to work on.

I learned somthing about pistons, it happened while I was testing how much wight they can support. It's inconsistant btw. but in general glitchness happens past 23k kg. Alright buckle in, this is gonna be a paragraph and a half. My testing lead me to trying it against another piston. I set the stationary one to -100 speed with auto reset on and the controll to 5. Now Introestingly, the Poston at 5 speed moved the other one effortlessly. Of course I did thuther testing, using detachable blocks, and then connecting the pistons themselves. I got the same result. Now of course I wired the -100 speed piston up, gave it some controll. Whatever you set the 5 speed piston to would then cause the -100 speed piston to go down and then bounce back up to that hight. Well, just a little higher but it's close to the same hight. It refused to go up however. I then added another contoll group, by adding a 50 speed piston with auto restet off. With the 5 speed now being in the middle. I got the same results as the -100 speed, exept it went Back to the same hight as the 5 speed piston exactly. It would go down like normal, but when you tried to move it back up, it just would not surpass the distance you manually set for the 5 speed. My mind instantly went to a gear shift of sorts, though I could see this being usefull when you want 2 seperate speeds for a piston and not 274 logic gates to do so. (I'm assuming you have 2, or even 4 pistons on a connection point already. Becuase semetry is nice)

I already done that and I just use it when im driving, so my turet follow the ennemi. (I use large canons so its really precise)

truly a john classic.

Haha dials, confusing. Me just hit with hammer and wrench till thinggy go work

Do you think you could find a way to minimize the rc thing. I myself have made it as compact as can be but without pistons as they bug out when are disconnected from the players "main build"

Update: i tried my half baked lazy metnod pathetic excuse of a quantum drive, by of course simply spinning the engine arround the craft. It works exeptionally well, giving me exeptional mobility on a suprisingly small and realitivly slow craft. (Almost 200mph exactly) while very unorthadox to fly, the potential is near limitless if you fully master the sacred tow matter arts of driving backwards. How do i put this... it doesnt fly like a plane, or a spaceship. It flies more like the turret you would mount on said plane or spaceship, if that makes sence. Though i will say, my last minute touch of adding a piston locking mechanism to hold the engine in place was a great addition, allowing it to function simular to a plane for greater controllability. Turns out, using even 2 blocks of leverage with your gyros instead of just using the gyros themselfs grants a much much higher menuverability.

I love how his channel name is literally just John😂😂

this is awsome,I must say. I thinked about player-tracking missiles an got some design. I'm not good with these so i'm giving it to you : after launch missile must rapidly accelerate(strongest jet engine for no DLC), then it starts spinning. Missile must have range detectors that activates gyros for turn. Range detectors can be placed on one or two axis : spin make flying up and right ussles, because spinning rocket will roll. (Bad at english I am)

If you want to make the nose of the f35 stubbier, put the spaceship cockpit a block back and put decal over part of the windshield. decals are magic maybe if you piston glitched the nose cone back 1 block then you might also be able to make that part stubbier as you had wanted. However, piston glitches and stuff like that almost always make things less stable so do it at your own risk.

This would be a really great way to fix the awkward movement of most First Person Shooter simulators

I viewed them as simply a form of propulsion and used gyros for pitch/roll/yaw. I used pistons to extend them away from my center of mass when needed. It controls like a normal plane but it can start and stop nearly instantly

I cal, them quantum engines personally, now that vectoring system, thats a drive. On that topic, i see it. Eing easier to simply rotate the entire engine itself, though it only works with smaller sizes. But thats all you really need, speed is optional when you can swap directions instantly

there is also a wierd thing with the quantum drive is that the farther away the quantum drives are from each other the stronger they are, also nice vid.

If you're sad, become a russian tank. Russian tanks have no depression

I think Trailmakers just hates you building anything with the word "radar" in it

Would be interesting to actually get the see the drone more up close. Just found your channel and I like your stuff!

really cool video and concept. What you actually build is a "gyroscopic gunsight" instead of a radar. These where used in the late months of ww2 both by german and allied planes (k4 gyroscopic gunsight as example). This sights accaounjted for bullet velocity and drop, giving an estimated lead sighting point for the pilot, who just had to introduce wingspan and distance to target for the computer to calculate the lead

Thanks. This helps alot. The first two prototypes are relatively what i wanted to see👍

“The missile knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t”

jhon I also tried to make this. I took a rather different aproach so it would be interesting if we could team up?

Vary interesting concept. You have had a lot of short to medium range weapons but what about long range. But would it be possible to use translation by manually aiming 2 servos to a point (using a sight) and using that to not only aiming but to get distance. Can you use that to account for very long distance shots for far away targets? It would most lily be on the ground. Also do you think you would have more success with a bomb impact radar gunsight for a plain?

Make a Fire control system that accounts for lead and has automatic tracking for tank and it's whole turret Push a button to lock onto a target and the whole turret will rotate towards the point accounting for range, lead, and speed

Seeing as this video was sponsored by a comment, i will be seizing my opertunity to once again ask for a power coupling engine. Preferably, one usefull on plains. To save you a bit of a headache, the most i managed to acomplish rather consistantly reguardless of desighn, is a great rotational force. My mind instantly went to an axle of some sorts. howerver, i am very lazy.

can you show my how to build the stealth drive on the second iteration? i did make one before but its extremely unstable and inconsisten so would like some help. thanks

Can i please have the blueprints i just wanna see how it works and build my own

For your next project, could you do an advanced reticle system like in real fighter jets where it shows you with a moving reticle where your bullets will hit, ive been trying to do this for a while but im just unable and i think you might be able to because you have a lot of knowledge on the game.

I really like your videos and it would be cool to have a discord server. also it would be nice if you could record your audio with another microphone like a pair of earbuds or your phone

a lot of this logic seems fixable with like 5 less logic gates, to make the legs go more forwards than backwards u can just up the speed on the servo,up the angle and then turn the output on the backwards gate down, for the strafing its 4 logic gates, walking its 6 and arms should be 6, idk but the logic looks way over complicated. youre still really cool n ill follow cause ur mechs seem really cool

Yo does anyone know hoe to sort out stuff like that one console like have different blueprint folders

its really amazing just how a worse audio quality drops the amount of views by an order of magnitude.

That's how I do my RCS logic. This concept is widely applicable great vid. Also that gyro tip was awesome 👍

lower the strength of your hinges on those things. suspension without suspension if you know what i'm saying. i'm cooler than you. tell whoever is fucking vacuuming that you're recording and it is fucking with your noise suppression, the assholes. ARMOR YOUR HINGES FFS good video john from the hit book The Bible™ i couldn't find much to make fun of you for this time. 😭

i recently got into building mechs and this is really cool
