However it is only easiest in the editor: while in simulation you will have to actively control your pitch.įor additional information go to Buoyancy.įlying blocks produce drag. The easiest way to control your altitude is to build a plane. There are 4 basic ways of achieving level flight: In order to go where you want, the center of thrust in a chosen direction should be on a single line with the center of mass of the machine.Īs usual in games like Besiege, if your machine starts to go crazy, placing a few braces will not hurt. You need to implement a way to control the motion of your machine.
As with all things, customizable of course.In order to get off the ground you need to make your total lift higher than your total weight. Whether they literally depict wings falling off or not is irellevent I suppose (though I do believe there is one sim out there that has such depictions), but at the very least it should simulate the underlying effects of the structural damage (IE: complete loss of control). It would in fact be prudent, I think, to demonstrate such effects as a matter of emphasizing the dangers of flying in such conditions, rather than ignore the reality. This may not be a "crash simulator," but I can tell you if you fly a small GA aircraft into a violent storm, bad things can happen, not excluding wings literally falling off due to the stresses involved. This should entail collapased gear due to rough landings, belly landings, and water ditches, as well as stresses on gear, flaps and other control surfaces when overstressing the aircraft. While it may not be necessary to see burning buildings, and aircraft manufacturers may understandably not be comortable seeing their planes plough into the ground in massive explosions like a Kerbal space rocket, it would still be worth simulating realistic structural damage and crash dynamics, whether it's depicted it or not. Which is an unfortunate line of thinking, because aircraft do indeed crash in real life, and it'd be apt to simulate such things. I doubt it, and the reason will be the usual "this is a flight simulator, not a crash simulator"
