I kinda fixed the APU :)
Arelium 20 Apr @ 10:13am 
Was able to get a sustained speed of around mach 2.13 (rounded down) with both engines. Seems to function fine with a few tweaks! Just not the old speed, but still very fast!
Arelium 20 Apr @ 10:11am 
With just the hyperdrive, mach 2.12, although it seems to average around 2.09
Arelium 20 Apr @ 10:09am 
I was able to get up to mach 0.839, with it rising but very slowly At higher speeds, you can turn off the trim..
Arelium 20 Apr @ 10:06am 
Oh also, the same issue also exsist for normal engine. However, setting a trim of 1 at full throt. seems to fix it for this. I will not go through every possible throttle, just adjust trim by 0.01 and check if vertical speed is +, or -. You would want it to be 0, or near 0 in a positive. The vertical speed gauge is under the altitude gauge, which is to the right of the artifical horizon, which if you're blind, is in the center of the dashboard, under the glass.
Arelium 20 Apr @ 10:01am 
Hyperdrive works fine at full throt. as of now, although you will need to turn on alt-hold and set a trim as the plane goes down quite drasticly. I tried crusing with alt-hold on and near-perfect, raised artifical horizon but it ended up diving into the water (I did not do any further keys after adjusting a near-perfect, raised horizon)
Arelium 20 Apr @ 9:58am 
1.75 on front, 1 on back wheels seems to work. Take off at around 4 throt.. Safe to cruise at 5, testing hyperdrive.
Arelium 20 Apr @ 9:54am 
The fire can be avoided by not turning on full throt. However, due to changes in wheel hitboxes, the vehicle is now too low and WILL hit the ground, causing a nose-fire. This possibly can be fixed with larger wheels. I'll be experimenting with different settings, to try to find fixes. I will NOT re-upload this, but say what fixes works for what.

the game mechanics have changed ever since i uploaded this, engine cooling, drag, etc. so now it doesnt work anymore.
Josh 20 Mar @ 2:28pm 
Hey so every time i start this up a fire starts just under the cockpit not even turned on hyperdrive yet and not even took off and a fire starts is it just me not doing it correctley but im not sure
Thingymuhbob  [author] 11 Aug, 2024 @ 5:54am 
Yeah, sadly its not what it used to be
sigmaultrapromax 3 Aug, 2024 @ 5:46pm 
how some reason it only got mach 2.13 or 700 m/s something
m3 20 Sep, 2023 @ 5:33pm 
thingy make an aircraft capable of carrying a larger cannon and make it able to go mach jesus
perfect war crime machine
Thingymuhbob  [author] 7 Sep, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
oh dont use the apu its broken
dannymcnugget 7 Sep, 2023 @ 7:40am 
It worked once for me then after that the part right behind the cockpit just catches on fire right when i start it. Please fix this
Thingymuhbob  [author] 2 Sep, 2023 @ 2:15pm 
no sam site is gonna catch this plane
JamesEBigglesworth 1 Sep, 2023 @ 11:10pm 
the aircraft is very good at ground attack with missiles.
Thingymuhbob  [author] 1 Sep, 2023 @ 12:23pm 
i hope the aircraft wont outrun the bullets tho
Thingymuhbob  [author] 1 Sep, 2023 @ 12:22pm 
im currently working on a new jet, that does roughly mach 2.9 that will be able to carry missiles and maybe a gun
m3 27 Aug, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
i should put a few cannons on this
aint no fucking way somebody catches up to this and shoots it down if its going at fucking mach jesus
beastcore59 24 Jul, 2023 @ 6:22pm 
Umm so once you start going a certian speed it starts to go up and down and spin around
Nuke Dukem 20 Jun, 2023 @ 4:14am 
thanks
Thingymuhbob  [author] 9 Jun, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
sure
Nuke Dukem 9 Jun, 2023 @ 12:35am 
are you ok if i rip the jet engine controllers off of this to power a different jet?
MolnarKende 14 Apr, 2023 @ 8:53am 
How can i make split off turbine?
Thingymuhbob  [author] 12 Apr, 2023 @ 9:03am 
split off turbine and multiple exhaust
MolnarKende 10 Apr, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
Hi, How did you make the jet engines so efficient?
jombothegoodcat 29 Mar, 2023 @ 5:30pm 
In the last 2 pictures his health is way worse
Shinkansen923 28 Mar, 2023 @ 9:42am 
it doesn't seem to reach mach one
Lunatic Lacewing 28 Dec, 2022 @ 12:40pm 
the fact that you lack half your health in picture 3 XD
Thingymuhbob  [author] 23 Nov, 2022 @ 8:29am 
the shaking is because of the fins i suspect. the freezing mid air is because of tile loading
Cailean.Coleman 22 Nov, 2022 @ 2:56pm 
the jets stability system makes shake, maybe we could find a way to bipass that and physics crap without making a missile
Cailean.Coleman 22 Nov, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
speed is limited by design
Cailean.Coleman 22 Nov, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
well
Thingymuhbob  [author] 22 Nov, 2022 @ 8:11am 
yeah, because that way your horizontal speed doesnt exceed 1000 m/s. im sad that its not possible to go that fast any more. i was planning on making a 2500 m/s private jet
Cailean.Coleman 20 Nov, 2022 @ 12:00pm 
I still got to like 1,800 mps in vertical
Thingymuhbob  [author] 20 Nov, 2022 @ 11:47am 
discovered that due to how the tiles are loaded you cant exeed a speed of roughly 1000 m/s. if you fly into an unloaded tile it freezes you and the vehicle. so from now on you cant outrun the physics engine because it doesnt calculate physics in unloaded tiles. it does show the geometry of the terrain tho.
Thingymuhbob  [author] 15 Nov, 2022 @ 6:36pm 
damn
Cailean.Coleman 15 Nov, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
lol
Cailean.Coleman 15 Nov, 2022 @ 2:04pm 
mach 5.6????????
Thingymuhbob  [author] 15 Nov, 2022 @ 11:03am 
hmm, if its just the fins causing it to demolish i might be able to redo some of the controls to where i wont need fins. but it will probably affect the speed a lot
Cailean.Coleman 13 Nov, 2022 @ 2:59pm 
may just be the fact that forward flight puts a lot more strain on the stabilizers adn aircraft at mach 5 than vertical flight
Cailean.Coleman 13 Nov, 2022 @ 2:58pm 
yes
jombothegoodcat 13 Nov, 2022 @ 11:23am 
If you are at an incline you will reach mach 5 safely and slowly speed down but the second you stabilize out you will get demolished
Thingymuhbob  [author] 13 Nov, 2022 @ 10:35am 
huh thats weird
Cailean.Coleman 12 Nov, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
or at a 45 degree decline or incline
Cailean.Coleman 12 Nov, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
also to stay stable at hypersonic you have to fly vertical now
Cailean.Coleman 12 Nov, 2022 @ 1:36pm 
it is
Thingymuhbob  [author] 12 Nov, 2022 @ 9:36am 
wait what, imme try out some things then. also ive seen people go mach 150 before, dont know if thats still possible tho
Cailean.Coleman 10 Nov, 2022 @ 6:28pm 
Hol up the jet seems to work now! it went to 1800 MPS!
