can i use this for my ww1 like Aircraft tender ship? but i need a nice seaplane

IzzaCupO'Tea,
Think of forces applying on the craft (center of mass).
- Minimize water draft to reduce water drag as the seaplane speeds up using underwater fins at the front
- Have enough engine power and lift providing wings
- Align thrust direction with center of mass by giving pitch angle to propeller

may i ask how you get your seaplanes to not nosedive into the water? im a little special in the brain and cant seem to get my seaplane builds to take off properly.

Always takeoff against wind especially with WW1 planes.
MauseLoch9000 2 Sep, 2022 @ 8:40am 
Actually, nevermind. 10% wind from the back is enough to make takeoff impossible, when I turned around it worked, and once the plane is in the air, it flies beautifully!

MauseLoch9000,
I'll check it if something is broken when I have time.
Tip: Enable stabilizer

Its extremly hard to take off, I literally cant get this in the air because in the water it starts becoming unstable, rolling left, right and then finally diving 5 meters below the water where the engine stops and it doesnt float up again so I have to get out and respawn the plane repeating the whole process until I give up.

ohhh i see thank you for the answer !

@stormovie,
Maybe in the future

@Atrilian,
It's basically pivots pusing the wheels up which creates force. Microcontroller controls it to behave like buoyancy using fluid sensors. Inspect the vehicle yourself for more details.

i'd like to ask how can you make it float with this little floater ? Really great btw
stormovie 26 Mar, 2022 @ 6:57pm 
could you release an engine modular engine microcontroller with mixture control and supercharger option?
EpicFrostchaserSWF 25 Mar, 2022 @ 2:36pm 
Could i Suggest Four Aircraft that all Served the Same Role.
The Soviet Lisunov Li-2T, The German Junkers Ju 52/3mg3e, The British Bristol Bombay, And the Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 "Bat"
All three of these planes are Transport Bombers, (Transport Aircraft Capable of Bomber Duty)

You have allready built a Ju-52/3m so you could likely just put the DLC on that one but for the other three..

Okie!
fishfaceapple 24 Mar, 2022 @ 2:50pm 
nice job are you able to build a Boeing Model 1

@Adel,
Thanks for the suggestion. It's better to use this for new airplane suggestions: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/1987869365/3014563919009960078/

Is it possible to make the Avro Shackleton?
Thales  [author] 22 Mar, 2022 @ 10:12am 
If there is wind, take off against wind.
Bisnico 22 Mar, 2022 @ 9:47am 
i cant get it in the air it will just crash in the water...
stormovie 20 Mar, 2022 @ 3:29pm 
awesome can't wait I would love to see a Gotha G.IV
Thales  [author] 20 Mar, 2022 @ 3:22pm 
@stormovie,
Yes but haven't decided yet which one to make.
stormovie 20 Mar, 2022 @ 3:17pm 
As always amazing plane! Just wondering if you have any WW1 heavy bombers scheduled for construction?
Thales  [author] 20 Mar, 2022 @ 3:10am 
Thanks for comments.

@GERUNIMO,
It all began with your suggestion to make Curtiss Jenny few years ago.
Caterham 20 Mar, 2022 @ 3:10am 
love your work, dude! keep it up
GERUNIMO 20 Mar, 2022 @ 1:51am 
Absolutely a wonderful aircraft! Thank you soooo much for making and sharing it with us! I LOVE IT!

Great work
