Playing around with Roblox's aerodynamics! This is NOT using my airfoil module. I did add some control logic for flight stability, but raw control surface input is pretty stable still. I'm just actuating control surfaces and applying forward velocity! #RobloxDev

It would be easy to attach a high-detail model to this sort of flight model. Just make the high-detail model massless and weld it to the root part, then hide the low-detail flight model stuff. The hidden flight model can be adjusted to tweak COG & other flight characteristics.

This is neat. Interested in putting real world aircraft body types and seeing how they act in roblox

sleitnick2 years ago

Yeah I plan on doing a lot of stuff like that soon! The hard part is I can't just define something like a NACA airfoil, so I'm not sure how to best simulate that. That's why I prefer a hidden flight model overtop of visual models to help compensate for that

Do you know anything about how Roblox calculates those forces? I’m curious if it would fly differently with a modeled airfoil/wing rather than parts

Roblox I wanna listen to music on Spotify while I’m playing I’m going to sue this game cause I can’t listen to music (I already got a lawyer and I’m being fr)

It really is smooth. If it's not using your module, which module is it using then?

sleitnick2 years ago

It's Roblox's new aerodynamic physics! No module. Roblox's physics are calculating lift/drag on the physics assembly. The only thing I'm doing is adding code to set the servo target angles for the control surfaces (e.g. deflecting the ailerons)

MQ-9 Reaper simulator. Missile PIDs still need some tuning but its all working pretty well. All this is simulated using Roblox's new aerodynamics + all controlled using servos for the fins, ailerons, elevators, and rudder

Wired in the ball indicator UI. A lot still to do, but I'm glad I got the first pass of this part done tonight. Not finalized, but good enough for now. I DID end up sticking with Roact after all. #RobloxDev

zhao lusi exposes ku for sabotaging her work opportunities ☹️ "I originally have a lot of offline events and magazine shootings...but 'somebody' rejected them on my behalf, claiming that I was not easy to 'control' haha they said I wasn't easy to 'control'. I just wanted to ask, will I cause some society disturbance? I wanted to ask exactly, how am I not easy to 'control'? what exactly is it that you can't 'control' of me... I'm way too easy to be 'controlled' please"

Stress-testing 100k agents. FPS dropped to 60. I had to move most of the logic to C++ to make this work. I could only scale to ~10k in GDScript before hitting a wall. Each "agent" is also just a cube here. Nothing complex. My goal is to get this stable at 144hz w/ 100k agents.

Midnight’s controls are innovative and simple, using two side sticks to control altitude, speed, and direction during flight. Think of it like manual vs automatic in cars. Because Midnight is fly-by-wire, software translates the pilot's movements with the sticks to automatically transition between flight modes, smoothly speed up or slow down, and hold the aircraft's position, airspeed, and direction. This allows pilots to focus more on the flight, not the mechanics of commanding several different control surfaces all at once.

I made a 1m wingspan flying wing RC airplane that prints in a single Form 4L build in just a few parts. Print-in-place, flexural control surfaces for improved aerodynamics and reduced assembly. It actually survived 2 flights! 3rd one ended because of an unfortunately placed fence... Is this useful for anything?

Yay, i did it, i even did one for the shoulder to somewhat adjust when the arm is moving up and down, the only downside is that you can't or i don't know how to, add the elbow joint to control rotation, but i consider this a win.

The ultimate Engineering flex is making almost any shape fly.😁 AUREOLE - PVRA TriDisc is our experimental drone concept that replaces spinning propellers with Perimetric Vectoring Ring Arrays (PVRA). We place micro-nozzle belts around tri-lobed ring. These tiny jets push air to generate lift, lateral motion, and rotational control for the craft. This scene is a proof-of-concept rigid body dynamics demo rather than a full CFD. We juste wanted to see if the shape can fly. But everything is still grounded in the language of flight...control systems, aerodynamics, physics and mathematics.

Not usual type of post buuut I made a little free plugin for people who hate how shitty the UI designing process of roblox studio is, this plugin lets you move the UI elements around with a built-in control panel and or with your keyboard! #RobloxDev

Tough news yesterday. I’ll need 30 radiation sessions to keep the skin cancer under control. With all the chemo for my Multiple Myeloma, my resistance is very low. Right ear still deaf and my arse still painful,but I still got out for a walk. Some days you don’t win

Warren Buffett says using leverage is foolish. Why risk what you have and need to chase what you do not have and do not need? No matter the odds, if the downside is everything, do not do it. He is right. But real estate is a different game. That rule is built for paper. Pull up Sam Zell or the other people I follow, and you get a completely different answer. Here is the real difference. Paper is paper. Real estate is control. I do not love the paper world. I do not like the volatility, and I do not feel like I can control it. Control is the whole thing. I control the debt I take on. The interest rate. The monthly payment. And I never over-leverage. I control the apartments too. The occupancy. The expenses. The rents, to the extent the market lets me. Paper gives me none of that. I do not understand it well enough to control it, and it does not have the predictability real estate does. Now the harder question. If I paid everything off and sat on 600 million debt-free, would my life really change versus 1.5 billion with 900 million in debt? Honestly, no. I do not personally need more. But that is not what this is about anymore. I am running a legacy play now. My kids are involved. This is succession. He is not wrong about leverage. It just depends on what you can actually control.

I know I'm late to the party here but Maestro is a fantastic concept! It's more than just another VR music rhythm game. Using hand tracking, you take control of a full orchestra! Oh and this demo is free on AppLab! Bravo Maestro! 👏

WOW! I'm so excited about this. OpenAI Developers said Codex was good at Computer Use, but I wasn't prepared for this. For the last two weeks I've been working on a Computer Use skill to work with Linux. And while I had some success, it was a pretty frustrating experience. That is...until the breakthrough. Using accessibility tools, Codex can now control my entire computer, not just the browser. There are limits to this, of course, but what a time to be alive. This Computer Use skill will unlock and entirely new set of automations, all powered by Codex. Demonstration below 👇
