1 ship, 6965kg, helm stabilized, Thruster fwd/brake, 4L 2T. VS 2.4. technically survival friendly idk

#

very loosely based off a pretty silver yamaha r1, but ofc this handles like a bus so I didn't post it as that

#

better handling prototype is being worked on idk

#

this one steers horribly but here's a vid and the internals (consist of 1 cart contraption dropped onto a ship)

#

I made them myself, here #1442765647217168515 message

#

realistically you want a mini engine that you can shove in the main, compartment. Mine here is just a single ship because I like mine having plenty of feedback and be responsive

#

suspension can be hidden by wrenching the wheels twice

#

note that since mine is a bit more extreme as it leans into the corner and requires some genuine countersteer to turn out of it, makes it feels better that's all.

#

the feature also takes a lot of effort in fine tuning the weight distribution and internal, I do not recommend trying out

trim comet
#

How are some of you so good at detailing stuff

white cypress
#

aerodynamically w/ control craft flap

trim comet
#

You could try oleo wheel

white cypress
#

of course, the principle stays the same, but it will be much harder to do the same in a tight space

#

it would, mine's just built differently

I was shocked at how this works but then It was just tournament thrusters

pulsar swan
#

impressive

white cypress
#

rest of it is just spent on tuning and making it pretty

next flare
white cypress
#

understandable

next flare
#

Btw are you using voxt

#

Voxy?

white cypress
#

mhm

pulsar swan
white cypress
#

looks pretty, low overhead, fast, etc

next flare
#

This fixed the sky banding issue

pulsar swan
#

wat is voxy

next flare
#

So your sky looks good

next flare
white cypress
#

I'm alright with the skybanding actually

next flare
#

Allows insane render distances at good fps

#

Like distant horizons

white cypress
#

makes the vid recording less grainy

pulsar swan
next flare
#

I mean it's a gradient

#

But it looks so much prettier with the sky fog

white cypress
#

gradient moving around isn't great for bitrate no?

updated ver with better handling thing from the newer chasis

#

lighter, better handling from more precise COM positioning

pulsar swan
#

an impressive showcase in keeping things compact

white cypress
hollow tapir
#

its so chonkayy 💀

next flare
#

Only thing broken is the fog due to atmospheric fog missing in 1.20.1

#

Although that can be fixed with the solution I gave

No.1 sportsbike as per title

timber wave
#

Ok now make it work

#

Jk she’s too sexy for a job anyway

dry mesa
#

helm "stabilized"

white cypress
#

yeah

white cypress
#

that version drives like a boat, I did say that

humble vessel
next flare
#

This is so cool I want to make a bike now but with the wheels actually spinning

#

(one that looks good and is compact)

#

I may have to use eureka which is my sole enemy

white cypress
#

Somehow it also handles better but I spent like 3x the time on that compared to this

next flare
#

I want to do some black magic and make it turn using a phys bearing

white cypress
#

Physics wise

next flare
#

It turns with a flap right?

white cypress
#

Right now yeah

next flare
#

good to know

white cypress
#

Irl we also mostly steer them with leaninf

#

Leaning

#

The handlebar serves as countersteer in sharp/extreme situation

#

80% of bike turning is leaning

#

The thruster also simulate torque better than the actual wheels themselves

timber wave
#

Yeah the lean is really the main downside of gyro bikes, it leans OUT OF turns, annoying

#

Was also thinking there might be a phys bearing solution but couldn’t be bothered to do it yet

white cypress
#

Buut it's a very specific use of flap

#

You want the COM to be below and behind the steering flap so it both leans into the turn and actually turns into it

#

There's also thrust location relative to COM that dictates turning but ehh

timber wave
#

Huh, I don’t want to use thrusters, just the back wheel drive, but might play around with flaps then

white cypress
#

Back wheel drive has it's downsides

#

Main thing is speed limitation

#

And the space constraint, weight sensitivity

timber wave
#

It gets fast enough for me

white cypress
#

A thruster is 300kg, create components are ~1100kg on average

#

Granted with wheel power it goes regardles of weight but I like opitimizing by thingies for weight bc it's fun

#

Might make some more bikes actually

timber wave
#

Mind you at the time of making that video I didn’t realise I could move the oleo wheel forward too which makes it drive even better

#

Really my only complaint with it is the leaning out of turns

timber wave
#

But yeah I wish there was a way to drive rotation to the back wheel without the universal shaft poking out the side, that would definitely be the main upside of thrusters for me

white cypress
#

There is a trackwork++ build that allow it

#

But it was quickly scrapped for obvious reasons

white cypress
#

front steers n stuffs

timber wave
#

Looks very good, I just don’t use eureka helms and tournament thrusters yet, something I might get over/be able to replace with other vscaled components

white cypress
#

front brakes, front steer, very small

white cypress
#

steers with the wheel instead
