Can you make this use the physics sensor

constantly rolls to the right a little bit
Uran_Wind  [author] 17 Nov, 2024 @ 6:49pm 
yes

does this work for jet engines?
Mr. Clocks 7 Aug, 2024 @ 5:05am 
I think it would be incredibly useful if you could figure out some sort of custom gyroscope controller, since i've almost never been able to properly use the gyroscope
Uran_Wind  [author] 3 Jun, 2024 @ 8:14am 
Better to use a separate ECU.
TurtleUnit 3 Jun, 2024 @ 3:50am 
Does this work for Modular engines or am I better off using a seperate ECU?
Quantum toast 19 May, 2024 @ 10:47am 
what mode works with ducted fans or does that not matter if im not using the engine controller parts
Mrmunchyolly 19 Nov, 2023 @ 11:50pm 
Will you ever make a new one of these?
Uran_Wind  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 12:17pm 
not really
ACE 16 Nov, 2023 @ 10:03am 
is this up to date still?
Dashsolpher1 21 Sep, 2023 @ 6:03pm 
I have this installed on two separate aircraft, and they both hold level pitch when the gyro is turned on. However, level pitch does not correspond to level flight. Both aircraft start a very slow descent when at level pitch. It is realistic for an aircraft to have pitch up attitude when at cruise. So, I was wondering was the solution may be or is it in my design? Is there a way for me to tell the gyro to hole a different sensor value other than 0?
Doitsu Ryoku 29 May, 2023 @ 11:28am 
mmm yes it does seem like the 2 giant control surfaces were the cause
Uran_Wind  [author] 29 May, 2023 @ 11:18am 
Probably you have very large control surfaces while flying at very high speed.
Doitsu Ryoku 29 May, 2023 @ 11:06am 
my roll ailerons also wobble a ton at speed even with roll pid sensitivty at minimum
Doitsu Ryoku 29 May, 2023 @ 11:02am 
increasing pitch turn speed all the way to 5 still doesnt allow it to angle high enough
Uran_Wind  [author] 29 May, 2023 @ 10:55am 
Increase the pitch turn speed.
Doitsu Ryoku 29 May, 2023 @ 10:49am 
I just added this onto a jet of mine, but at any semi-high speed it starts wobbling to all hell, reducing pid sensitvity reduced this but now the pitch angle is extremely low so i can barely even take off anymore or do turns
Random 30 Apr, 2023 @ 7:01pm 
ok ill do that
Uran_Wind  [author] 30 Apr, 2023 @ 6:32pm 
You can just remove unused numerical nodes and unhook links from the composite node.
Random 30 Apr, 2023 @ 3:41pm 
is there a version of this microcontroller that only offers the autopilot
Uran_Wind  [author] 28 Feb, 2023 @ 7:03am 
Yes.
Fireside 28 Feb, 2023 @ 6:40am 
So to not use the optional engine controls, I just don't hookup the engine nodes?
Uran_Wind  [author] 31 Jan, 2023 @ 3:28am 
You need to hook up all angular speed and altitude sensors for the flight control, although there is a compact version without autopilot and fewer required sensors.
Inverspe 30 Jan, 2023 @ 6:16pm 
Do I need the sensors just for the flight controls? like i dont want no autopilot or altitude hold
Céléstin Dragases Palaiologos 1 Jan, 2023 @ 2:31am 
oh thanks it was that
Uran_Wind  [author] 31 Dec, 2022 @ 11:31am 
Make sure you selected the correct aileron orientation in mc properties.
Céléstin Dragases Palaiologos 31 Dec, 2022 @ 1:48am 
my thing just SPINS and keeps rolling
Uran_Wind  [author] 27 Dec, 2022 @ 9:24am 
Thanks, updated and fixed.
cool_tank 27 Dec, 2022 @ 7:35am 
thanks this help a lot. although the roll trim and roll PID sensitivity are swapped at the comp write by the roll pid lua.
naizey_lines 15 Dec, 2022 @ 1:52am 
is there a way to limit yaw when autopilot is on? when i use manual control its set up ok, but when i turn on autopilot it turns yaw rudder way to much and plane starts loosing altitude.
Uran_Wind  [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 12:06am 
There are too many things on your plane that spoil its aerodynamics and require a workaround to achieve stable flight, like excessive thrust of fans, destabilizing front fins, small fins spam, control surfaces on subbodies, and fins on the missiles. Also Thales mod gives my pc a significant lag every time i open the inventory, and personally i dont like any oversized and overpowered vehicles. Try someone else's gyro from workshop or the default one.
KijangDragon 8 Dec, 2022 @ 3:25pm 
Hey sorry if im bothering you and i really hate to do this but I still have a problem where my elevators increases its angle until its maxed, if you can help me i would greatly appreciate it
KijangDragon 7 Dec, 2022 @ 1:09am 
Alright noted, but what about the elevators constantly trying to pitch up? like it constantly try to pitch up with max elevators, sorry if im bothering you im still new to making things in SW
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 7:53pm 
It is aerodynamically unstable, try to make it fly in a straight line without nose diving first.
KijangDragon 6 Dec, 2022 @ 3:28pm 
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=2898482624 Its kinda janky and it uses Thales aviation parts for weights, and it needs infinite fuel to work
Uran_Wind  [author] 6 Dec, 2022 @ 6:34am 
Yep, you can send me your plane
KijangDragon 6 Dec, 2022 @ 5:19am 
Alright i have problem, my plane's agility is great but my plane often randomly pitches up, like its not a little pitch its like max pitch, and this may be a diffirent issue but when i try to use the ALT hold it just randomly pitches down, if you want i can just send my aircraft if needed
Uran_Wind  [author] 4 Dec, 2022 @ 5:45am 
If the airplane holds the altitude, the nose should be slightly pitched down to compensate the lifting force of the wings and other chassis blocks.
Eira Fader 3 Dec, 2022 @ 6:09pm 
hey uran how do i tune out the nose down when the alt-hold is on
KijangDragon 1 Dec, 2022 @ 10:52pm 
Aaand i found the problem, i put my lever max value at 1, completely my bad
Uran_Wind  [author] 1 Dec, 2022 @ 7:51am 
It is better use the separate engine controllers for the each engine, since their RPS are not synchronized. Make sure the numeric value you connected to the desired RPS node is actually increasing as you increase the throttle.
KijangDragon 1 Dec, 2022 @ 2:07am 
Also where do i connect the RPS and Tempature to? If i connect it directly to the jet engine which part of the jet since im using this for a twin jet fighter
KijangDragon 1 Dec, 2022 @ 1:43am 
Not sure if its my fault or its a bug but whenever i try to put my throttle up my jet engine just stays idle, i may have wired it up wrong but idk, help would be appreciated :pray:
ThatOneGuy 23 Nov, 2022 @ 6:53pm 
thanks i had no clue what it was doing 😅
Uran_Wind  [author] 23 Nov, 2022 @ 6:48pm 
Fixed, the pitch elevators should be at the tail.

ThatOneGuy 23 Nov, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
that should be it thanks for looking at it i didnt expect you to reply so quickly reply at all
Uran_Wind  [author] 23 Nov, 2022 @ 5:05pm 
Yes, you can send me the plane via link in workshop.
ThatOneGuy 23 Nov, 2022 @ 10:57am 
if you need i can send you the plane and you can see
