Engineering a HYPERSONIC JETPACK was a huge mistake...

[@JohnCooper-gm6mn]

Matt, you were so close trying to figure out how to make the jets turn you properly. Instead of using two servos on each engine with matching controls, you give them a single servo with independent controls. You also don't need to reduce the angle the engines fire at for a spin, quite the opposite actually. The closer the angle is to 90°, the tighter the spin will be. By reducing the angle, the engines are giving more of their thrust towards increasing your altitude, rather than changing your direction. Left engine forward = W Left engine back = S Right engine forward = E Right engine back = D Then, when you want to fly forwards press S&D, to fly backwards it's W&E. To rotate right press S&E, to rotate left it's W&D. This method also gives you the ability to do a sort of banking arc, left or right, forwards and backwards, by just firing one engine at a time. Happy Engineering 😊

its easier to use a logic block too route the secondary inputs through

Pretty sure he was trying to increase the controllability of the turning rather than just spiraling out of control.

You should apply to the UK space agency... they are still trying to figure out how to get basic rockets into space. 🤣

[@spiderwebber32]

If you use or logigates, you can program your multiple controls into one set up. I believe thatdomguy has a video on logic for trailmakers.

I'm just amazed at how, when RCE builds something, it just naturally takes on the strongest shape. Is it a gift, or has he just programmed himself so that always happens when he builds? 🤔

[@jacksonstarky8288]

Okay. The video title promised a *hypersonic* jetpack. We got a *supersonic* jetpack. I think Matt owes us a hypersonic jetpack... although I don't think it would meet the definition of "jetpack"... which was already being stretched substantially by the supersonic contraption... which was, admittedly, an amazing piece of engineering.

To be fair, strictly speaking negative speed isn't a thing. Since speed is just magnitude, not direction. Velocity can be negative.

[@TheXak662]

12:52 I don't think this is a jetpack. this is just an open concept rocket. very trendy and hip, but not a jetpack lol

[@mikokamin2586]

Oh what a nice rocket you created.

[@twisted_spirit6223]

So in trailmakers for flying vehicles for pitch and roll you can use helicopter engines without blades to pitch and roll because they create torque so that’s how you can pitch and roll without using thrusters and servos

[@pequenoZero]

Just for future reference, you can use Logic blocks (or, and and such), which takes input, and then connect them to the other blocks to serve as multiple inputs to the same blocks.

[@circuitgamer7759]

Minor thing - you made a supersonic jetpack, not a hypersonic jetpack. Supersonic is Mach 1 (~760mph), and hypersonic is Mach 5 (~3,800mph). (that's simplified a bit - hypersonic is defined based on something other than speed, so it isn't exactly Mach 5)

[@D_Danya_D]

Hi! RCE, there is a guy on YT named Atomic Gaming (it’s not an add!!!), who got a new video where he built great city in Timberborn game. He said, that he’ll build The Strongest Shape Megabuild if you react to his video) We are all waiting😂

I really do hope he plays Scrap Mechanic at some point. I remember the poll he did a while ago on whether he should play Minecraft or Scrap Mechanic, and although I love Minecraft a lot more (it's my favorite game of all time versus Scrap Mechanic which I've never actually played despite watching content on it for over 5 years), I still voted Scrap Mechanic because it would be a better fit for the channel (still love the Minecraft series, though).

[@Rosarian_baron]

Honestly this game would be awesome to try a giant mecha

[@greenaum]

Having the engine at the top, and the pilot and other gubbins hanging down, so that the thing will be intrinsically stable, "hanging" from it's engine, is a mistake. It's a popular misconception in rocketry. I'm not sure why though, I think I understood it at one point, but that day has passed. As a Civil Engineer you're probably better with static things than dynamic ones, bridges not generally having a thrust to weight ratio. But anyway... engine at the top is unstable, for very important rocket science reasons. How the game implements it's physics, I dunno, but it's wrong. Unless the gimbal jet is just hard-coded for "down" no matter what, but that's not very realistic. What really happens, is that any imbalance gets worse, rather than correcting itself, and the thing nosedives. But again, proper proper rocket science, don't ask me.

I haven't finished watching the video yet but I'll forget to comment: you can give a part different controls by adding an AND gate from the logic blocks section. Connect it up to whichever part you want alternate controls for then set the new, desired control.

[@griffinbastion]

2 things, you could make the two rockets move independently to get left/right turns, also instead doing forward/backward it's better to do backward/down instead when trying to turn

Servo Speed- I presume this reverses the direction when it is negative. (negative clockwise is counterclockwise) So you can have one going forward, and one going backward with no key changes.

[@_IcyCube_]

Really you could also use different buttons to rotate each rotor like you would do tank controls. If you for example Left side rotor - W forward - S backwards Right side rotor - E forward - D backwards To go forward you'd press W and E, or S and D for backwards, but then you can press S and E to rotate one way, or W and D to rotate another way instead of adding more parts. I also haven't finished the video while typing this comment so if he does do that later in the video and I forget to delete my comment then oops.
