This build is essentially a beta version of the prototype. The full flight physics are now implemented: all aerodynamic coefficients have been calculated and integrated. What remains is tuning and balancing.
Airbrake implementation
Added an airbrake on the X key (keyboard) or B button (controller). The aerodynamics now respond properly to it – you can clearly feel the nose pitch up when the brake is deployed.
Flap physics
Added flap aerodynamics with new coefficients. Acceleration is now more realistic, and flaps can be deployed in 10-degree increments.
- Controller: D-pad Up/Down
- Keyboard: [ / ]
Engine separation for different modes
Each flight mode now uses its own engine configuration:
- scarab_basic_main for VTOL
- scarab_plane_basic for Plane mode
