The last time I built with hydrofoils, I built a boat that sometimes likes to be a plane.

I love that someone is still making tutorials on the game. I still remember when Custom Cannons were a thing. To say the least, those tutorials are heavily outdated

That's some nice mimic work on that Bazooka. Hydrofoil azipods sound like a good idea, one on the front, another on the back and you don't have to worry about turning thrusters. I now feel inspired to go build a hydrofoil "hover" tank...
@YEAHKINDA5 ай бұрын
A cursed inbetween of the azipod and hull mount is to make a stick underwater and shove all your hydrofoils along said stick. Mostly useful on catamaran/trimaran hulls where you can have multiple sticks. Lets you keep redundancy, lets you stay high above the water, and doesn't waste much materials on armoring them.

Nah, thanks for asking. I was mostly just blown away by how straightforward hydro-skimmers are. I'm not used to overestimating the difficulty of things in FtD. XD
@lkmdude80943 жыл бұрын
On the surface hydrofoils are simple. In reality they either cause a craft to keep trying to drown itself or fly into the sun.
@BorderWise123 жыл бұрын
And that's why, as shown in the video, you don't rely ONLY on hydrofoils for control unless you don't mind your craft doing exactly those two things. 😁

Ditch the foils for air pump fraction control altitude PID setting the fake point to negative numbers using mean sea level. Or directly use propellers for altitude using PID that responds to propulsion vertical. This setup can be used for thrustercraft at any altitude.
