This project was just too fun not to share.

Ok, so I'm not sure if this is REALLY any better than the existing airfoil, but I find it a little easier to use.

The best part is you can see the code and configure it how you like.

Anyway, I let my custom airfoil take on the stability challenge: a very small wing span and short tail span -possibly similar to some fighter jets (I don't know).

The project uses a very odd configuration where a PCar's physics are extended to part-aircraft. It's really funny and is simple to fly with similar controls to a car - steering, gas, and brake.

Enjoy.

I was sold at the words "flying pcar" in the download description.

Great fun - and actually really controllable. Good job Rush.

Thanks.. Yeah.. it's one of those rare projects where I come back later and just feel like flying the Pcar around for fun.. It's so addicting.

I need to make a game about it someday.

another 7.19 version failure to load 7.22, besides that it look awesome rush.

3D Rad crashes when I load the project. Is it something wrong with the version? I have 3D Rad 7.19.

Rush3Fan · « **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2012, 02:29:35 PM »

Yeah.. unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about it. It's a 7.22 project. $:-\$

Rush3Fan · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2012, 02:42:01 PM »

Unless.. I compiled it..

Sorry.. I felt kind of bad since it only works on paid 3DRad versions.

Here ya go.

thanks rush, that was cool!

dogsofknowledge · « **Reply #8 on:** March 12, 2012, 01:11:43 AM »

Is it possible to install 3D Rad v7.19 and rebuild it so people who haven't donated can do it, or would that be too hard?

Just donate!

Rush3Fan · « **Reply #10 on:** March 13, 2012, 02:03:24 PM »

Hmm.. $5 or one hour of my time.. Which do you think is worth more?

Just for comparison, I make $3.50 an hour.

You should live here. My town is in an oil boom.. The lowest paid job you can get here is like $10 an hour it seems.

I can fly!!
Very nicely done, never seen a scripted airfoil before, didn't know it was possible.
I tried something in Oddity, maybe I can use some of this to get it running

Thanks!

Thanks! It's so easy and fun to fly it around, although it takes practice to be able to fly well.
