Hey everyone! Back with another Trailmakers video and today I decided to build a system that launches gliders at supersonic speeds! Now I've broken the sound barrier with large jets, I've done it with large props, I've also done it with weapon recoil and the HINGE GLITCH...but I've yet to use the new small rocket thrusters and I figured it was finally time to make something unique :) Let me know in the comments below what you thought and I hope you enjoyed watching this as much as I enjoyed playing it!

I was really hoping you had tweaked it a tiny bit so that it launched you more upwards than downwards. That wouldn't really help much but would've been more satisfying for me at least lol

@GummieI Год назад

Yeah launching at about a 45 degrees back from the top would give it a much better throw I think

@amagicion5130 Год назад

The lack of counterbalance for your craft was causing you tons of issues that you didn't notice. The most obvious was the oscillations and the slowdown they caused, but it also made it nearly impossible for the craft to launch upwards rather than downwards. Basically, because gravity was slowing the craft down as it was rising in the arc, the speed gained during that portion of the swing was minimized, while the speed gained as it started dropping was maximized. This means that, despite there only being ~5 degrees between the upwards launch position and the downwards, a huge amount of speed was being gained in that area compared to the ~355 degrees after downwards launch back to upwards. This is why the craft was so consistently launching at the ground and needed to be on the helipad to succeed.

@djmintyfreshful Год назад

That doesn’t quite make sense. I think the downward launch was due to where he chose to release it and the small time delta the release occupies.

@alolbc2803 Год назад

I think its because he reached 1245kph when he was going down at an altitude of 335 instead of upwards at 335

So many new parts, so much to do, not enough time. Edit: if you don't know what Rokkenbok is, check it out. It's great, but expensive.

@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi6655 Год назад

That nose cone is unsightly for a square vehicle. The devs need a couple of aesthetic pieces for sure. The game needs a transition piece that goes from the square cross section to a circular cross section the same diameter as the nose cone. They also need a wedge corner so you can put four together for a square pyramid nose cone. And wedge tee pieces and inside corners as well for 90 degree turns. They also need more round pieces of all types.

@AgentWest Год назад

Yeah, the game needs a LOT of things, but devs are too busy pumping out yet another paid DLC. Just checked and this airborne one is $35 usd! The whole thing is up over $60 and it still has unfixed bugs from many years ago.

@BullNkosi Год назад

@loeffel4144 Год назад

The missing counterweight for the glider made the construction much harder than needed and so wobbly. Anyway, what about a Multiplayer Monday Competition with the new parts? I have two ideas. - Build a helicopter, the helicopter will be lifted to a given height. At that height the helicopter needs to stay as long as possible in the air with auto rotation. - Everyone builds a glider. This glider has a given number of thrusters (4 for example). Those thrusters will burn for 10 seconds or something like that. That is the starting speed of a small platform not too high above ground. Which glider will get the most out of its thrust? That would also be good for evolution as it will be hard to find out the right balance between wings and mass for the given thrust.

@Ivan.A.Trulyuski Год назад

Definitely a challenge with launching gliders, as many power cores as you want on the launcher, none on the glider, max distance wins. Upgrades between rounds.

@justaguy6216 10 месяцев назад

You need to add weights equal to the weight of the glider to counter act the oscillations. With that you could have removed some of the supports giving you more complexity budget to add even more thrusters :>

@AgentWest Год назад

Easy way to balance a catapult like this: remove the stand, turn it horizontal, use new 'center of mass' indicator and add/remove weight to one end until that indicator is at the pivot. Also, it is better to use angle sensors, or a regular censor on a servo (so that launch angle can be adjusted) for release. Way more precise than the altitude method. This turned out to be a more interesting episode than i expected. From title and thumbnail it seemed to be a typical "fly up and drop" thing that has been done a bunch of times before. The spinning catapult idea was way more interesting than that! As a side note, what's going on in the bottom left at 18:42? YT compression catching up (gradual un-blur of whatever that is)? And why does it look like several creations layered onto one another?

@darealkosmo Год назад

that's clever with the weight balancing suggestion! I will use that going forward.

@techno1561 Год назад

It might be easier to have an angle sensor instead of an altitude sensor for the launch, since it wouldn't need you to adjust the height for the location. Maybe with some logic to work with a toggle rather than being completely automatic, so you can just keep it spinning up instead of having it fly off possibly prematurely? To help the glider, it might also make sense for it to drop the sensors, so it doesn't have to deal with the extra weight too. For the launcher, maybe some form of counterweight to help balance out the launcher? It might let you get away with less complexity/fewer support structures, since there would be less wobble.

@Thri11craft Год назад

So, the reason it was wobbling is because you didn't put equal weight on each arm. Basically when you added the glider you unbalanced it. Think of a car tire, it needs to be balanced so it doesn't vibrate your car apart (and to make the ride smooth).

@darealkosmo Год назад

Haha you got it...I actually did a bunch of weight calculations to offset the glider weight on the other end and then just sorta got into building and forgot to offset it properly 🤣

@animalmango6499 Год назад

Hi kosmo, the cones you add to the front of cockpits slightly decreases the aerodynamics. It looks better but for these more technical builds it might be something to consider.

@darealkosmo Год назад

oh dang son, thanks for the tip!

@nathanmcdougall1093 Год назад

Idea for multiplayer: each player builds a glider and a turret and you compete to see who can get farther in your glider before getting shot down. It's like skeet shooting...if your the skeet

@Nevir202 Год назад

Multiplayer Monday for max distance glider launcher would be great. You all use the same glider to eliminate that as a variable, so it's just about launchers.

@markbrown2206 Год назад

The way you have it set up, the release will always be past the apex instead of just before the apex as you wanted. When it's almost at speed, it will slow very slightly as it lifts the glider towards the apex (thrusters doing the most work against gravity). Then as you pass the apex, the thrusters work with gravity giving a very small but important increase in speed, pushing it over the release speed at the release height. Then add the delay in triggers and release block and you are then pointing down. That's why you needed the helipad for launching. If you added a sensor that detected the arm, you could time it to release during the upswing.

When balancing you should make it first without the base, and get the center of mass in the rotation point. Or maybe you did that, I don't know :D

@Petq011 Год назад

No, the whole thing was obviously out of balance through the most part of the video. I am yet to watch the last bit, but I will confirm after that if it was centered at some point. Though knowing Kosmo... I feel like he never centered it and then blamed the game for being "unrealistic". 😅😂

I love the idea of a centrifugal launcher. But think shot put instead of a rotating catapult as any direction it launching safely outwards away from the launcher.

@rjgraylight Год назад

I'm pretty sure that if you revamped the glider itself, you'd be able to maintain the supersonic speeds for more than a fraction of a second. The glider you were using was very minimalistic and wasn't really capable of high-speeds. Plus, it was constantly getting damaged at launch for some reason. So I definitely think that you and the guys could do a supersonic glider evolution video with this. See how goes the furthest. Just provide them with the base structure, dictate that it must release at supersonic speeds, point them in a direction, and have everyone work on making a glider from that! I honestly think that the glider is the biggest factor here.

@Yull-Rete Год назад

You could do a glider launch evolution multiplayer with supersonic launch. Then people could also play with the launch altitude in addition to their glider design.

@gninja2145 Год назад

Everybody; be using rockets and stuff Kosmo; builds a glider without anything to power it that breaks the speed of sound

@a10blackbird62 Год назад

I think one of the ways you could improve the centrifuge launcher speed would be to add a weight block on the other side of the glider to reduce oscillation by making it more stable.

@nicolasjoly6948 Год назад

Yep... it's at what I thought too as soon as I saw the wiggle cause by the lack of equilibre. Other than that, he could do some test about the optimal length of arm vs truster position. If truster are closer from the rotation point, the max speed should be high (low torc).

@ph0enjx Год назад

yo kosmo, bc of ur altitude sensor method, there was a chance it would actually release just after the highest point, if it reached 1245kmph just after it had already reached that height, a sensor would have worked much better as you could have moved it around to find the optimal launch angle

@darealkosmo Год назад

good point fam! I did consider the delay in the altitude meter + the possibility it's triggering AFTER the apex...but then in true Kosmo fashion I just sent it

@nickbarlow5038 11 месяцев назад

@@darealkosmo you also gotta add the same weight of the glider onto the opposite side to act as a counterweight. This should reduce the wobble of the supports if there will be any wobble at all, thus gaining more stability and speed since you arent losing it through the supports.

Only use I can think of for that fun gizmo is as a Carnival Attraction... and even then I don't think it'd be a good idea to let non-Carnie Personnel drive the Glider. :P

@Blue-ender-dragon 10 месяцев назад

the reason the launcher was pushing you down was because there are two spots in the rotation for every height besides straight up, when you are going up and when you go down and you would reach the release speed after the up but before the down which is why you went down. if you increased release speed you would reach it after down but before up. ps. I wrote before finishing video so sorry if figured out in vid.

Could try some weight blocks to help maintain speed, idk if momentum is a thing in this physics engine. Also shorter wings could cut aero resistance. I know you achieved your goal, but maybe if you revisit attempts to maintain Mach speed lomger once you've launched.

@matheuscabraldasilva6317 Год назад

As the developers once said to me: all you need is one anchor block. Each extra anchor block adds more and instabilities. I know that this is counter-intuitive, but having one anchor block on one corner is better than having one on each corner.

@darealkosmo Год назад

Trust me, I tried, not enough.

@nathanlloyd7206 Год назад

the cause of the oscillation is due to an imbalance of masses. the side with the cockpit has more mass than the side without. if you added another cockpit (or structure of the same mass) to the other side, the oscillations would stop more or less completely. the only issue would be that the thing could possibly tear itself apart when you release from the arm, so in order to avoid that, you also release the extra mass that you added on the other arm at the exact same time.

@TheMostUt Год назад

Yeah the launch mechanism could be improved by using two AND gates, two angle sensors, and a speed sensor. Greater than x speed AND (angle greater than AND less than). That would give you a window of release, and hopefully reduce the possibility of "late release". I would have the release ~15-30 degrees before TDC for best results.

@steeljawX Год назад

The altitude sensor was not the best choice. You should have done a distance sensor to sense when you're at a certain point instead. The issue with the altitude sensor is that there's a window of opportunity for you to be released. From the point you set until you are flung below that point again. Odds are you're being released on the downward as gravity assists in giving that extra acceleration. Having the distance sensor as your angle trigger would have been more reliable as you could have given it bias to one side and just set it to release at super sonic and detection.
