Hey, thanks for trusting me with your time by watching my video! If you felt particularly inspired or excited, I'd really appreciate your help in getting this video out to more people - leaving a thoughtful comment, 'liking', and enjoying the video to the end all help to show KZbin that people want to see more like this. Cheers, and have a good one!

only thing worst to steer is the warthog. no idea why they thought it'd be a good idea to add a timed section requiring precise maneuvers to get through with only a warthog to get you there. I had to retry that damn mission 7 times to beat it.

[@Lrofmaulol]

@@Sparrow_Bloodhunter I never had a problem with the warthog in any of the games on console ngl, PC was a bit trickier but you can get the hang of it (unless you're playing infinite).

[@CrizzyEyes]

@@Sparrow_Bloodhunter The Warthog actually has some of my favorite handling in any vehicle of any game. Few vehicles allow you to powerslide so hard you can turn the body into a giant sledgehammer and side-sweep multiple enemies. Only problem is that the controls don't adapt well to mouse and keyboard.

[@rogoth01themasterwizard11]

see, what i took away from this is that you successfully recreated the ACTUAL steering of the ghost vehicles in game, while it might be troublesome IRL, i think that's awesome.

[@PackHunter117]

What you say isn’t really correct. As long as the ground suits the vehicle it’s very maneuverable. “Despite its apparent simplicity and grace, the Ghost requires a skilled driver to handle it properly. Uneven or broken terrain makes the Ghost extremely difficult to pilot.” -Halopedia

@@AmanStudios Looks good! You did the visuals well. Adding longer travel on the spring could help, but there'll always be a limit there. And unfortunately, grappling hooks are just really hard. There's a reason it's taken me as much development time as it has to get what I consider acceptable performance - if it was as simple as 3d printing something, everyone would have done it already. Good luck with it though!

[@AmanStudios]

​@@Built_IRL Thanks for actually responding man! I was just wondering if there would be a way to make your self latching grappling hook shown in the hacksmith's webshooter video, but on a much smaller scale, as with a spring system it cannot launch such a heavy projectile.

[@Built_IRL]

It's always a toss up between including more details for the more serious audience, vs just keeping it high level for the majority. One day I hope to start uploading companion videos for each project that go into the more technical content. No Patreon currently, but I've been considering it... I just don't know if I want to take money from viewers while the sponsorships are already covering me well enough. Thanks though!

[@1sdani]

@@Built_IRL Honestly, the finnicky nature of handling it just makes it seem even more like a ghost, what with how they tend to take a second or two to come to a complete stop. If the Halo games supported vehicles rotating outside of the players' control, I have no doubt ghosts would have been given a similar tendency towards spinning out.

Great build! For mk II you may want to consider separate throttle and steering. Have mechanical steering that utilizes thrust vectoring and let the throttle be more or less constant. With the right thrust vectoring configuration you could even have a thrust reverser for braking.

I think that thrust vectoring on the jet engines might be a good way to get faster steering response. Or you could use electric drone motors or EDFs, which would be quieter too.

[@Xyzair]

I miss imagined what you said and ended up with multiple drones tied to the left and right side attempting to steer the vehicle by pulling left or right.

[@Yingyanglord1]

@@Xyzair gmod be like

[@brianorca]

But for thrust vectoring, you need the engines further back from the CG. I think in this case, if you wanted to keep the jets positioned as they are, you could wire both jets on the same throttle, but have some clamshell doors partially cover the exhaust on one side to turn. The mechanical blockage would be more responsive, without the spool down/spool up delay of the jet.

Yooo this came out great!! Rarely see fictional vehicles get made IRL (and actually function), especially ones as unique as the Ghost. Though now I'm curious - obviously we're far off from inventing an "anti-gravity drive" but how close could a hovercraft of this size get to the speed and handling of what's seen in game?

[@Built_IRL]

The speed, we could definitely get - even this one should be able to go pretty fast. The handling, though, that's a lot harder. Hovercrafts just aren't very easy to manoeuvre, no matter what you try. Still, I won't say it's impossible!

RE: how the ghost handles It seems like you might want a “fly by wire” solution to be able to translate user input into more acceptable handling. I’m assuming there wasn’t any code written by the creator… Which is an assumption! If I am right, my follow up questions would be “have you ever programmed an arduino before,” “what’s the mix and max (acceptable) output of each jet,” and then it would be a matter of finding a good graph/math equation. Honestly, if I had access to this build to measure stuff I think it would be fun to tweak code in unity to get the best ‘fly by wire’ system for this particular build.
