The Wrong Brothers Fly Again | Archean Co-op with W4sted 

Glad you're enjoying it, this is the closest a game has come to scratching the same itch as space engineers in quite a long time. If they ever add damage modelling then I think they'll be the first genuine competitor 🙂

@@Flipsie yeah, a lack of collision damage is one of the big things that turned me off from empyrion. also it was still quite buggy last time i played, the tutorial broke itself skipping a few steps by itself and then later referring back to something that i hadnt done and softlocking me.

i dont think you understand how airfoils work. even if you invert the airfoil, if it is still the same angle of attack, it will still work. spoilers work by having an AOA that pushes into the ground. to get out of the water, both pushing the tail down and pushing the nose up will work, as buoyancy will act the same on the plane with the same inclination. both are adding rotational velocity, so they are both affected by buoyancy on the tail. but yeah that nose is ridiculous, if they want to make a seaplane they should design the body for it instead of strapping wings to a car.

@@lightningbmw2309 The angle of attack would change in flight as you say, but not on the surface, because it can't. Since there is a *surface* resisting the intended change in orientation with a significant higher density than the air above. In that case the little force acting on it is pushing it no where other than down and the friction provided by that monstrous nose makes it worse. Pushing the tail down (or actually sucking it down rather) will NEVER work to push the nose up (relatively) other than in flight. The ailerons on the wings were not used, only the ailerons on the tail ... a spoiler. That is why instead of lifting the contraption up it was actually pushing the whole thing further down into the water .... the "miracle" you witnessed.

@@lightningbmw2309 The only thing they would have needed to do to get out of the water would have been using the ailerons on the wings to get out of the water and the ailerons at the tail to dampen the angle a bit.

Glad you enjoyed it, including the explosion 💥

To be fair the Wright Brothers also didn't have the experience and didn't exactly know what was expected from them

this was an actual product at some point, cant link to it sadly as youtube would throw a fit and i dont remember what it was called anyway. i think it was a video lgr did still has the issue of inputs being on or off and nothing in between

I think you'd need to be able to do curved surfaces to achieve that :(
