Stuck out to sea

It was just a wish, not a demand.

I can imagine the coding for off axis thrust would have been a nightmare.

they should have included it. probably better they handnt though, it may have been bugged.....

wed be spinning around in circles....

I was wondering who would show up.

Actually this is a private forum, owned, operated and paid for by a private individual.

If you don't like that, there is the rest of the internet you can play on and ignore the rules all you want.

Not really. Coding, like any art, is all about cutting corners to achieve some stated goal. Ofcourse you could do it the difficult way and actually simulate the effect using physics and whatnot. But it would be way easier (and no effectual difference really) to just predefine some model based upon relative thrust for the left and right engines that equals a given rudder settings.

Like this (assuming left rudder is a negative value and right rudder is a positive value):

While lenginerpm != renginerpm {

If lenginerpm < renginerpm {
rudderdegreetemp == (renginerpm - lenginerpm) / somedegreevalue
rudderdegree == rudderdegreetemp - (rudderdegreetemp * 2)
}
else {
rudderdegree == (lenginerpm - renginerpm) / somedegreevalue
}
}

Took me two minutes

Oooo Risk posture....I like it. I'm gunna try and use that tomorrow in a conversation.
