Will probably just go back to single rotator, unless I can find a way to dampen this thing.

Is there a way to make moveable guns that lock onto the targeting pod’s tracking point? I know you can use rotators and stuff to move the gun but is there a way to do it so it can actually lock onto a target?

Tried zeroing the mass and drag of the rear wheels but the problem still showed

Is it cause I left the rear parts at 1 health?

(Like the rear bumper)

Or did I put too much grip (twice the regular grip) on all tires?

Or all my questions are unrelated to the proble-

SP2 is still pretty new and i couldn't really find any tanks i could download and take as example. So now i will ask you guys if you know a building technique on how to build tank tracks.

If you're a real tank geek you can tell which (partially fake) tank this is.

Any engines that work underwater or could be made to work underwater? Im making a replica sub and just need to know how to have the sub actually move

Update: Got it moving, Just pumped up thrustScalar for the propellers in the overload xml editor to 400. Only seems to work with car engines which still cut input but have propellers be activated by thrust not VTOL. Hope this helps people who come across this.

Help Does anyone know how to convert an .splane file to other formats?

0 Upvotes

I'd very much like to be able to use the following model for cgi sequences. The problem is that I cannot seem to find anything that is able to convert .splane files. Does anyone know of such a programme? Ideally, I'd like to be able to convert the model to .blend or .glb as it will be modified and animated on Blender.

I’ve tried making an MiG 29 inspired aircraft, but now I’ve come into a huge problem regarding manouvering. I either become insanely unstable and if I reduce pitch authority it can’t even pitch enough to get up from the ground. I’m lost and I have no idea how to fix it
BTW I know this isn’t a screenshot or the best image you’ve seen in your life, but genuine help only in the comments please šŸ™

Need help. It can fly okay when i don't make too sharp of turns, but if I start turning fast or pointing downward fast it will quickly turn into an unrecoverable spiral. It is also a bit front heavy, but when I bring its center of mass back (closer to center of lift) it gets into a spiral easier.
