I Tried To Evolve a Top 1% AIR RACER!

[@Shaderox]

Since it's only right turns the whole way, i wonder if he had used a bit of asymmetry or the angle of the wedges infront of the engines to make the vehicle naturally pull a bit to the right to reduce the amount of extra steering modifications needed to make those right turns he struggled with

[@jefferygreen4856]

😂😂😂 just put mini thrusters cocked of the left and have it activate every turn to push the vehicle into the curve

[@HalfWolf2]

A terrible use of power cores and not aerodynamically efficient, the other reply I mean, I like the asymmetry idea

[@ThePhonax]

@@jefferygreen4856 that takes power cores and isn’t that strong

[@bielwashere139]

​@@HalfWolf2i guess he could just slap some wedges on the sides of his vehicle and go faster by doing that.

[@HalfWolf2]

@@bielwashere139 no, because that increases the amount of drag, even if it's maximum efficiency, it's more surface area against the wind

[@stratos2]

Scrap man, I don't think you're grasping the concept of aerodynamic stability quite well. Wings at the center of mass give you the ability to redirect your velocity without adding any stabilizing effect. They only help you loose less speed in turns. You could have gone with full gyro turning and just added some aerodynamic vertical fins to the front and rear, putting their average force at the CG. That way your craft will not try to straighten out when you stop turning, and instead redirect it's already gathered velocity to the direction you were pointing.

[@quakxy_dukx]

That’s really good to know for the next time I play

[@lees4416]

I hope Scrapman notices

[@datbubby]

I don't think you're grasping the concept of a difference in meaning between "lose" and "loose" quite well.

[@quakxy_dukx]

@@datbubby I’ve noticed a lot of people confuse the two

[@retsujou]

I love the creeping dread. Starting with: I'm worried I'm gonna do this right away without any evolutions... and ending with: Oh no, everyone is glitching so hard, how do I even get close without a whole can of cheezewiz...

[@saltgunz_0064]

i don't think ScrapMan understands just how good he is at this game though. he's doing EVERY race glitchless, and while he may not be taking top, or even podium, most times, he's still beating out, or at minimum right on the heels of, glitchers.

[@KingNedya]

​​@@saltgunz_0064Yeah I'm pretty sure that if not for glitches, he wouldn't just be top 1% or top 10, he'd be literally #1 in almost every race. Granted, this conclusion is based on if every glitched time was just removed. I'm sure if glitches just couldn't make the leaderboard, the people using glitches would still perform quite well using regular vehicles, so in that case he wouldn't be #1. But he'd definitely be among the best, at least more than he already is.

[@TheOneAndOnlySecrest]

What I would find interesting would be an attempt to create input smooting for keyboards using the new accumulator part. So the idea would be to create an accumulator which is reducing it's value every tick and then have inputs increasing it by more that this amount. This way you could create a vehicle with variable and configurable steering/speed depending on how long you press the button. For some turns in this race I think this would have been great.

[@irrelevantsafety]

I wish I knew how to use logic well enough to try it

[@TlalocTemporal]

You could chain accumulators together to get variable speed controls. You could also have a button that disables the input smoothing and lets the controls max out, like a handbreak button for the tightest turns.

[@PainApple96]

Instead of horizontal stabilizers, you can put the pitch gyro on max, remove the controls from it, then hook up a logic gate to it, and fine tune your sensitivity through the gate

[@TimEriksson-w2n]

He already has it on max. Using a locking gate would be pointless.

[@PainApple96]

@TimEriksson-w2n it won't be pointless, since his pitch was way too "gerky" and it caused him to lose a lot of speed, doing the method I've said, would eliminate this factor and might just give him this 0.5 sec that he needed.

[@TimEriksson-w2n]

@@PainApple96 He needed that turn to get around the final turn. If he reduced the turn the gyro would give him by using a logic gate he wouldn't be able to make the turn.

[@PainApple96]

@@TimEriksson-w2n I'm talking about the horizontal stabilization, not vertical.

[@cotwaddictfrfr]

the one that goes along the horizon the flay sideways one not the one standing up @TimEriksson-w2n

[@DaShikuXI]

I think what you need for these kinds of races is two steering setups. One for shallower steering angles, and then another for sharper steering angles. Imagine for example if your tail was two servos stacked below each other. The first servo could be controlled with A and D, with say a steering angle of 15. The second servo could be controlled with < and >, with a steering angle of say another 15. For shallow turns you just turn with A and D, and the for sharper turns you can add < and > for extra steering. Think of it as similar to a nitro boost during straight sections of roads, but for turning instead.

[@yessbox]

Kind of like ace combat 7?

[@yessbox]

Yea thought of that too, like in ace combat 7

[@Tfin]

Yeah, I was thinking another servo that just slams to the right for that hard turn might do it.

[@nihl2951]

SCRAPMANNNNN EVOLUTION DOGFIGHTERSS PLEASEEEEE. It could be separate evolutionary paths (each player sticks with the same plane they had from the start but changes it each round) so that there's more diversity and like reactionary evolution and stuff Eg if your opponent uses thrust vectoring, next round you could put on an emp instead of an extra smart cannon

[@Raziel7888]

Scrapman, ur almost the devs best friend, keep suggesting that the next update, they split leader boards to glitches and non glitches, ur 1% will be easy then. also we get to watch the carnage of u learning the glitches properly when u do another series of the glitch racing 1%'s :D

[@AtharvaVerma-q4b]

This video is the kind of video I expected from scrapman when I started watching him. BTW the background music feels so 2020. Honestly, this whole video felt so much like the videos I liked back when I started watching him. The air race is a classic to me.

[@hammad2870]

Heres an idea from me: On demand sharp turn , the front servo buttons mapped to lmb and rmb

[@irrelevantsafety]

Ooh that's a great idea

[@Mazapine]

Too bad you can't map RMB, I wish you could

[@gail_blue]

You're the champ in my book, not using glitches.

[@happy-zg1jr]

So happy to see scarpman breaking records with his glitchless builds. Really Wish the leaderboards were atleast a little bit moderated by the devs and had 2 separate leaderboards for glitcless and glitch builds. Like maybe just for top 10 would be nice to see. It'll even make things alot more competitive too.

[@AIM-9X_Sidewinder]

Sup scrap iam henri Kartoon from the top 5! In many testings ive noticed that weight reduction and size is more than key for good times, if you reduce weight you will have a better start, less speed bleed AND sharper turns, also there's one really strange behavior with big stablizers that makes it better to have an one block gap between the back and middle ones, somehow it makes you go way faster. Without glitches i would only reach about 20 seconds, just like you.

[@DanyF02]

If you want your craft to be naturally stable pointing forward, you just need your center of vertical and horizontal air resistance to be towards the back a little, it doesn't have to be aaaaalll the way at the back. Putting fins at the back like on a rocket just makes it so you have more to overcome when trying to turn. You could've placed those wings much closer to the center like between some engines but just slightly more towards the back, and just like that your gyro would feel a lot more powerful for turning.

[@PJ-xo5no]

Is nobody going to mention the launch at 13:03??? He went so far!! 😂

[@Abeer-Mishra]

Hey Scrapman, I have a video idea. You have to clear/finish all the trailmakers races you did up till now, but your vehicle has to be completely autonomous (You can add a seat and sit in it but not give any inputs except on/off).

[@Fireninja2343]

for some reason its REALLY easy for me to fall asleep to your videos

[@wisewizard9552]

Getting good places in Grand island tour would definitely be entertaining to watch

[@GracenLucas-p7f]

I love your evolution videos, please do more of them!

[@quinn-l5b]

This is the first time ive seen a video that came out less than 20 minutes ago

[@WynterLegend]

Flashbulb *really* needs to go back and update their old Campaign modes. The parts released with Motorhead, the logic specifically, would make Stranded in Space so much more interesting!

[@malcolmmackenzie9202]

I know it would be a lot of effort and probably not worth it but i would like to see you do sort of an evolution going through the different race classes starting at a lower one then moving up to higher ones

[@ronitkhadgi8292]

use Dual controls like use of front server to turn tightly for really tight corners use of back server to turn slowly for slow cornering

[@joshua35619]

ScrapMan is the best non glitches player on trailmakers by far. Beating glitch builds like that is impressive.

[@CougarVR1]

Remember to go to bed video is almost over

[@Funtime-Froner_Gaming]

Video Idea : It may be stupid but, you should test out the durability of most iconic blocks, such as seats, wedge etc. In theory they mostly should be the same right, but what if it's not?

[@chipcoint9674]

You could make variable steering. The front steering goes onto q and e And then for the last turn you press d and e That way you have reduced steering for most of the race but in the last corner thats really sharp you can use all your steering ability by pressing not only d (the back) but also e (the front)

[@RuFFlesGaming]

Weren't Tail Propellers one of the strongest propulsion parts? I seem to recall Scraps sound barrier video required only like 3 or 4. Maybe im wrong, but i always think of this every time he makes a race video so im actually gonna say it this time

[@guillermoelnino]

Thats what i used for my leader board runs.

[@MaxRhodeCarstensen]

They are fast but proppelers space thrusters and the jet Engine is faster with the jet engene being the fastest

[@TaimurAhmedRafe]

you should do the circuit race, even if you dont get suuper high on the leaderboard you'll learn + show us a lot about the tires and other racing stuff thats complicated.

[@DeathmetalChad]

5:46 Scrapman: "Oh, turn!" ROCKET-PLANE HYBRID: ok (immense frontflips)

[@d3str0i3r]

gentle reminder, those at the top of the leaderboard, we don't know how consistently they can make those times, we just know their design and their best time with the design, luck could be just as important for their time as skill, glitches, and design

[@blueflame_sm]

Second attempt trying to get ScrapMan to add a button to toggle high/low turning ratio so it's able to do smooth sharp and shallow turns. (It's pretty much just a multiplication)

[@nikolaskuklis5925]

14:38 fun fact about this "glitch" is Kozmonaut disvovered it in his video Can you use Quantum rudders for space propulsion (video title from memory)

[@VeryPersoon]

I like these race videos, but man do you always build such a wobbly vehicle for them 😂

[@YeetNuggets]

Mm idea: supersonic brawl. A 2 part land and air battle where all vehicles must be supersonic

[@andreyemelyan5267]

9:50 I think you should instead of making steerable tail, move the aerodynamic pieces closer to the center of mass, to avoid a big lever on the forces, fighting with you turning. That means, that if you make the center of mass and the center of aerodynamics match each other - you should steer like crazy, because of no leverage, fighting with gyros.

[@Nullpersona]

Could you use a key to enable the second servo, allowing smoother shallow turns, then activating sharper turning when needed? Maybe an and gate or multiplier? Also, the constant returns to zero seemed to cause a lot of instability and counter-rotation, at times requiring additional adjustments, compounding to bleed off speed.

[@moroblizniak4457]

The BIGASS tailfins hold this builds back.

[@Ultraanimations-t6x]

Scrap man even though you made lots of videos about this keep it up because it’s great and also I love the evolution videos I would watch every single one on repeat because it was so good,

[@alexcannon-microdot]

A vehicle that can make the top 10% across three different races: air, land and sea

[@alessioalezilla428]

i have a challenge, try getting 1% by using normal veichles (no gyro, no accleration glithc...)

[@thompsonswagnon3960]

some times less is more. should have tried the small fins instead of the big ones. would have been able to turn sharper with less drag. win win

[@IonRadianceGT]

Day 9 of asking Scrapman and Yzuei to do a game similar to the orbital cannon one but with the flak cannon and planes

[@demusdemore9588]

You can stear front and back with seperat controls, because you need the Front steering only for the last sharper turn

[@Skrylex_]

13:25, as i can see, that is a no dragged quantum rudder servo propulsed flyer (Put the Quantom Rudders far appart, when they are really far appart, it goes really fast and also speeds up in like 0.1 secs to it's max speed.

[@joshdingle930]

yes person who made the vehicle here I tried with a bunch of different widths but the wider you make it the harder it is to turn so you need to get that balance of speed and steering to actually make it through the race

[@lucasacche1982]

you should try doing a race in go-kart league, that's pretty challenging

[@ameizing2138]

Would be pretty cool to see the speed circuit.

[@-n3rv1o43]

Perhapsky you have to use double controlled steering where you can add sharpness of the turns while using only back steering for other parts. Map other ones to arrowkeys or mb4 and mb5

[@gavinkemp8455]

Hey scrap love the vids. Gotta challenge you to do some bionic league please! Definitely an interesting time messing around with no power cores. Try the sub one specifically, took me a while to figure that one out lol. If you see this comment my in game name is Gavinio, you’ll see me on the top 10. Keep up the good work man!

[@ProbablyWorking]

I can’t for the day scrapman starts using glitches after exhausting every other option!

[@cserosbence9475]

Experiment idea: the chrome bumper piece doesnt have any air resistance, so if you cover a vehicle with it does it make it zero-drag?

[@MaxRhodeCarstensen]

No it does not its like the tail fin the aerodynamics just go right thru

[@Nigntbite648]

I wonder about if you were to rotate the thrust from the last engine at an offset angle to add a sharper angle when turning and maintaining it through the turn The same idea of your nose but on your rear engine to make the rear move laterally and make the nose balance in the opposite direction while the rest of your engines will seek to bring you back into a straight and true direction out of the turn.

[@whereiscarlo]

maybe next race you could try and for a wireframe build? seems like the "all engines in a straight line" is sometimes not beneficial

[@Shakky4444]

You should make a video on races with only glitches

[@NazaalNAZAAL-pl1ny]

you should do the grand island tour race next

[@nemaito-829]

when playing legit can beat glitchers. scrapman is above exploiters 😂

[@marvinreimer2073]

Trailmakers should put glitching vehicles in a glitch class so they don't get compared to normal builds 😅

[@juhor.7594]

If the devs can't/don't want to delete the major glitches from the game, I wonder if they could make a system that recognizes the known glitch setups and places those vehicles automatically into their own "glitch league".

[@devonshields7180]

Kinda crazy that the most optimized build is pretty much a flying stick 😂

[@faremir]

I would think of putting the back gyro before last engine. That should - at least by the logic in my head - provide higher speed during turns

[@Belzemat]

Perhapskies you could have a second key for the aero turns so you can keep speed for shallow turns and use the aero for sharp turns?

[@davidcanoy8579]

I enjoy the Grand Island tour.

[@AlBundy]

thinking... not sure if this hint helps make your spoilers wider, to avoid wind coming from side and brakes you out, if you are turning

[@mandasdave]

I think in an effort to save speed in turning, you lost speed throughout. While you created more drag with sharper turning, you also had an average higher speed since you spent less time turning.

[@pocketmcclocket6873]

A lot of wasted potential because you're never hitting max speed. Was hoping for a different vehicle this time lol.

[@anthonyplacek9703]

🤔 So, more weight would slow your vehicle down, yes, this much seems obvious, but what if you added weight to the front anyway, if your center of balance is further forward, the thrusters will pivot around the center of gravity, allowing you to change vectors, would this allow you to have a better time by relying more on race lines than higher top speed? I just kinda noticed that when you turn, it's kinda turning with the center jet engine as the pivot point.

[@rltt379]

I feel like the thrusters are really pay ro win rn. It should be 300 power 2 cores for space, 500 and 3 cores for dragon thrusters and for the minis 150 and 1 and the small rockets 120 and 1. This way the weight and shape is definetly included for balancing and it's no longer required to buy a dlc to be competetive. Which for the record makes the devs look really scummy.
