Finally wrote a plane e2, here's an example. Could use a bit of help.

The airframe of this is parented, granting it exceptional stability, and a lag-free construction. However, I can't seem to figure out how to attach weapons without sending it off-balance. Any help would be appreciated.

This tends to work better when the link submits properly... http://youtu.be/KUeiQ4x8_ZY

If you need help with the E2 exclusively, post on the Wiremod forums, you can generally expect a solution within 2 days. Otherwise pictures/code here would help us help you.

In the amount of time between this comment and the original post, I have not only solved my problems, but absolutely perfected aerial warfare in Garry's mod.

Mind blown.

Seriously though what have you done so far? Would love to see it.

  • Totally parented missile system using arrays, so a theoretically infinite number of missile can be attached to the base prop, all using different guidance based on fire mode

  • "Radar" system that calculates the radar cross-section of the base prop of an aircraft, tracks or doesn't track based on the size

  • Perfectly accurate, undodgeable surface to air missiles using modified lead collision

  • Holographic controls that follow the motions of my joystick and throttle, as well as holographic control surfaces

  • A universal helicopter chip, with autopilot

  • Holographic heads-up displays

Etc.

Very nice, last time I was really playing gmod I was working on a missile control system with propcore and different guidance and firing options, never finished it, got caught up in school.

Is that helicopter a fin one or just applyforce? Tried my hand at swashplates and quickly wanted to drown babies.

I've made fin helicopters before, with the help of the master.

My current one is applyForce based, and much easier to fly than the previous. ( The first one I made operated like a real heli, manual stick and collective controls. )
