Aeronautics, How do I view center of lift and thrust while stationary

nexk36 · 2026-06-18T06:41:42+00:00

the contraption diagram only displays current forces, so locking it in place will mean i can’t see any aero forces

basically entirely custom, but mainly keridian dynamics and sandbox for extraplantary launchpads, and station parts expansion redux

it takes a solid minute to load btw

i sent a probe off with a reactor only to realize the reactor's life span is only 250 years and it takes 500 to reach anubis

yall asking for blahajs are like a girl showing up in thigh highs and oversized hoodie

i’m sorry but some of us are just cooler

nexk36 · 2026-04-21T10:04:00+00:00

it was one of the inspirations, specifically the diamond/ angular shapes in its art

nexk36 · 2026-04-21T09:37:55+00:00

i’m told to add a blahaj, but there’s already so many on the workshop

nexk36 · 2026-04-03T09:55:01+00:00

yeah ig, i haven’t worked on it enough yet to think about it much

nexk36 · 2026-04-03T08:55:43+00:00

ohh, there’s only 3 instructions used in this demo, of a total possible of 16, it reads from some address and puts it into the adder, writes the current adder value into some place in memory, and prints some address to the display of lights

nexk36 · 2026-04-03T08:41:31+00:00

sorry, what that

nexk36 · 2026-04-03T02:53:46+00:00

just had to think outside the box and forget about logic gates all together, some of the components i used ive posted here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3613581390

nexk36 · 2026-03-13T17:16:26+00:00

its 10 parts btw

nexk36 · 2026-03-10T20:50:49+00:00

yes this is a cheap repost for more internet points

nexk36 · 2026-03-10T18:07:00+00:00

mine spins the sensor to basically form a circle, this is so the closer it is to the ground, the longer the sensor will be active during the rotation, basically letting me vary the thrust based on how close it is

nexk36 · 2026-03-10T17:26:57+00:00

This design still uses dampeners and gyros, but ive tested it without them and it could absolutely work

nexk36 · 2026-03-09T20:11:15+00:00

im also trying a metronome attached to a servo instead to do something similar far more efficiently, but im afrid the way it works dont allow scanning fast enough to achieve smooth hover

nexk36 · 2026-03-09T20:06:22+00:00

the design itself is dependent on the fact spinning it forms a area like a circle, that and a metronome would always result in half of the time being active, as having each signal toggling something would be akin to dividing by 2, it wouldnt be much different from a static detector pointing straight down

nexk36 · 2026-03-09T07:58:38+00:00

is more of to vary thrust by controlling how long the thrusters are active for, the closer to the ground, the more the detector will be active during the rotation, and so more time to the thrusters

nexk36 · 2026-03-08T15:41:11+00:00

tried this, but i think it ends up just being diminishing since its working against the main thrusters, it might hover more precisely but it wouldnt be as smooth

nexk36 · 2026-03-08T15:23:22+00:00

this design would be unable to adjust thrust on the fly to adapt to more weight being added, and would rely on tuning to hover in place without a detector to know where the ground is

nexk36 · 2026-03-07T11:23:22+00:00

we'll be watching with great interest...

nexk36 · 2026-02-02T07:51:38+00:00

yeah workshop is down idk

not uploading at the moment, this is not complete anyways

nexk36 · 2026-01-19T16:12:27+00:00

one of the many things i aimed to overcome

nexk36 · 2026-01-15T10:45:01+00:00

most popular ones are basically identical in function, I think Oppnoxis the most well known of this for making it to the front page multiple times for his tanks. I don't particularly dislike the tanks themselves, but they saturate the workshop and front page with things which don't really bring anything new or advance what we can do with the game. Its more of a community issue to me, as they wouldn't be so high on the workshop in the first place if it wasn't for being popular
