Plane altitude

[L̶̷̢̢à̶͜é́͘͜͞f̷͠]

I built a plane not too long ago and i have spent the last few hours trying to figure out why it refuses to gain altitude, i have enough power lift and it can pull up

i can start a server and have look for you if you want

You could always use a PID to make it hold altitude. Of course, this means it won't be ablessing to dive, and may act funny if docked.

I have never had any luck with pid's
Im used to my planes not turning and i cant fix them which i also need to fix but i dont know why the ai wont go up

Here's a PID guide you can use. I've heard some people complain about PID behaving strangely in the recent update, but I haven't witnessed it yet. The information still applies.

So i have the altitude problem fixed but now the ai wont turn and follow my waypoint commands

What AI are you using, and is it set in patrol mode? On the land AI, if you don't change the default turning setting, it won't respond to turn. Make sure that it is adjusted

Im using the arial ai because i have a heavy plane that needs alot of balancing that only the arial ai can do and i have messed with the turning stuff alot trying to fix it

If you'd like, upload it to the workshop and I'll take a look.

What is the minimum angle to turn set to? Also, is there a possibility it does not recognize the components necessary to turn?

Its horrible but you can take a look at it,the turn angle is set to 80 and it knows how to use the wings and ailerons, although i put jets on it which didnt help

- Adjusted PID values.
- Added fuel efficient fuel engines.
- Adjusted missile controller and LWC values for bombs.
- Removed some bombs to add ejector modules so aircraft doesn't destroy itself.

Thanks, Does it follow map waypoints now XD

I didn't check. The default game AI is pretty horrible so I just use Lua most of the time.

[L̶̷̢̢à̶͜é́͘͜͞f̷͠]

Yeah it kinda is, Sadly it still doesnt follow waypoints.
So i may have to find a lua script for the plane
