Tmccanna, howdy!
I know it is atleast possible to make a Ornithopter, hope that helps in some way.

im wondering rn if its possible to create a autogyro with the new sails update, probably still a nightmare to figure out but might be easier potentially

did you ever do anything with making a template? though itd be really hard+ stormworks would hate it lol

Tmccanna, I suppose it depends on the type of Autogyro you are attempting to create.

so is that even possible since this uses xml parts and such?

Tmccanna, that is a good idea! I'll see what i can do.

would be cool to have a template of tihs so anyone could try and make an autogyro, really cool system

Lucasleepwalker, in the operational notes I explain how spooling up the rotor can be performed.

Lucasleepwalker, so the rotor is unpowered and relies on forward movement to work. If you climb to aggressively air stops pushing the rotor and you loose lift. Remember an Autogyro is somewhere between a airplane and a helicopter.
The clutch does temporarily connect the engine to the rotor but that is only for spooling it up if you are attempting a short takeoff.
Hope that helps!

it looks cool but wont fly, the propellers dont spin fast enough to do anything and after a while of not holding down the clutch it just turns off

that is the trippiest thumbnail ive ever seen in my life

Tmccanna, remember Autogyro's fall into a weird niche somewhere between an airplane and a helicopter. So you must unlearn or rather apply all you know about both to fly it. Altitude is controlled (like an aircraft) via pitch, but you can also allow the Rotor RPM's to decrease which can allow for decent as well.

As for the Lateral Trim not rounding that is probably a lag issue, as the Up/Down Logic controlling it is not configured to produce decimal digits that far out.

You don't really need a tail wheel as holding one or the other left or right arrow keys, plus the toe brakes will tighten your turn down pretty tight.

Hope that helps

might prototype my own gyrocopter system for fun now. will probably be exttremely simplified but whatever

could also do with a tail wheel since stormworks "physics" make it bounce around on the ground limiting speed

also lateral trim seems kind of bugged, it doesent always move in increments of one, sometimes going to values like 5.99999999999999

possibly one of the hardest to fly aircraft ive used. cant seem to figure out how to change altitude due to the bizzare design

this looks like an engineering shitpost

ok

hawk43221, oh well, I'll throw your idea on the preverbal "pile" ;)

just asking

hawk43221, sorry I assumed you had something in mind. Most folks who request builds or suggest ideas usually have something specific they want made.

??

DemonTittyInspector, very glad you like it, and even more glad you can find a good use for it!

hawk43221, I presume you had something in mind?

I was making a carrier recently and needed something just like this for the air wing. It's such a wonderful aircraft to fly when a plane is too big to land consistently. I absolutely adore this thing!

can u make a sub chaser??

Thanks guys, glad you like it!

Neat!

heliplaneopter O:

bobbybob, Ace of LuftWaffe, very glad you both like it, and thanks for the nice comments!

this is so cool

its awsome

coil_07, thanks again Sir, I'm very glad you like it!

this is super cool great work

Otipro083, thanks I'm glad you like it!

Nice!

Swooper Villain, I'll finish up the description here in a bit, but she can climb as high as any aircraft just watch you 'Rotor RPM' if it starts to drop you're loosing lift.

This thing is crazy lol and i love it. I will say the altitude. Can it only go so high or is it operator error?
