[legoman]

my least favorite part

 

[uncle twist]

Yeah, but it sure brings everything to life...speaking of which, I see plenty of room for a pinup girl.....or two

 

[legoman]

triangle count go brrrrrr


also, era correct Mk 64s (WWII/korea) not Mk 83 (vietnam/gulf)

Looks great Legoman.
I will have to practice my bomb aimer skills, (not managed to hit anything yet)

triangle count go brrrrrr

are you saying you made the triangle count go down, like cold weather?

 

[asj5547]

I think Legoman meant GRRR !!, because RF does not give us 500,000 tri's to play with.

 

[Rc51dude]

This thing is going to be so cool!

I guess I sort of used the wrong phrase

Go brrr is a phrase applied to a machine or other item that can be used to "simply" solve a problem. The phrase originated within memes that depicted the A-10 Warthog military aircraft "solving" problems by firing its powerful machine guns at them. -slangit.com

I am kind of spamming triangle to make the plane

my least favorite part

Are you like me, in that the most tedious parts of a project are often the ones that I'm most proud of once it's done?

 

[Rc51dude]

Legoman laying down the triangles like a GAU-8.

final beta for the XB-35 let me know if you find any issues. or if the FPS is too low. Constructive comments are welcome.

paint not final, name not final. physics semi final?

Thank you!

It's cool that some of the cameras can be rotated using the underneath sliders. (there's probably an official name for them, but that's all I got for now. ?)

The frame rate for me isn't the highest, of course, but it's still enjoyable because it's not the lowest either.

It seems like whether the bombs are dropped or whether the bomb bay doors are open affects frame rate, but I haven't yet analyzed it to see exactly in what way.

I know when the bombs are on the ground the frame rates tank

I have noticed that before too. Quite unexpected, but I'm sure there's a good reason. Maybe it's because each one of them is a separate collidable object, and each one of them can move.

 

[Rc51dude]

Just awesome!!
Question, is the rear turret supposed to/why lock in the central position when the bomb bay doors are open?

it was not supposed to be. I switched the bomb drop to three pos so I could open the doors before dropping the bombs and I had the gun retracting on that switch before, so I need to disable the sliders

it is that with the aero calculations for all of them I could remove the aero calcs for the bombs and get a massive FPS boost as that is the limiting factor, but they would fall flat instead of nosing over
