please use the newer Version, 2.0.
Why I used that music? I was young and need the money ;-) (I dont know, was free maybe)

Great mod, but why did you use the scary music in the tutorial? :dos2skull:
Takeshi  [author] 10 May, 2021 @ 1:09am 
Yes, please try 2.0

Hey, love this mod. Tried it out with a plane when I saw it worked with the link above, and all it does is flip it upside down. Am I placing it wrong, or...?
( I will try 2.0 to see if this resolves my issue )
Takeshi  [author] 6 Apr, 2020 @ 4:32am 
Hi to all, i have reworked the AFM and AFM2.0 is online.

I didnt have a normal gyro, so thats probably the problem. Thnx <3
Takeshi  [author] 29 Aug, 2019 @ 8:16am 
1. you need at least one normal gyro
2. if the roll ist to much, decrease power of AFM
the placement of the AFM doesnt matter, just the red mirro must be like in the video
If you dont get it to work, please upload a blueprint so i can check it. Thx
AudioGlitch42 29 Aug, 2019 @ 8:04am 
So i put this on my plane, its in line with the red mirror mode and i have 2 side thrusters that are turned off. But all my plane does is fly in a straight line and rock from side to side. The higher i set the power the worse it gets (100% power = high speed barrel rolls. I was not expecting this and i was laughing for a good 10 minutes after that happened xD) anyway, how amusing it may be, any idea what might be causing it? Does the rotation of the gyro matter?
Takeshi  [author] 5 Aug, 2019 @ 12:29am 
without sidethursters this check is not working. Without sidethrusters just fly forwaurd and turn slowly with mouse, teh ship will start roll. Try it in creative mode, is better to prevent you from crashing your ship.
Cgomez 4 Aug, 2019 @ 7:35pm 
Not working for me, i put it on my ship, turned it on and nothing happens when i press a or d or press them while holding w, there are no side thrusters on my ship, am i doing something wrong?
Hirnsausen 28 May, 2019 @ 2:07pm 
Simply postpone your travel. ;-)
Or do it afterwards. That would be nice.
Takeshi  [author] 28 May, 2019 @ 11:20am 
auto leveling in gravity? heard about that ;-)
Problem is, i use the sideway movement and the astronout isnt moving. But i think there are posible ways to make that. But, at the moment i run out of time, have a big travel next time. Sorry
Hirnsausen 28 May, 2019 @ 11:13am 
Hmmmm, just thinking: you could also create an astronait's suit or helmet or so, that adds the same useful feature to that astronaut when just flying around in his/her suit. Can you? Please do. Thanks!

Tested now with hoverengine mod to make hoverbike. After placing it made it wobbling. After placing vanilla gyro it worked
Takeshi  [author] 23 Apr, 2019 @ 8:51am 
thats a good point. In survival the player has to start with a landing gear and must set the cockpit in the same direction like the landing gear. The placement of the afm makes me headache since the first day. Will think about it again, maybe i find a solution.
Messy 23 Apr, 2019 @ 4:48am 
Yes, I had to decrease the power of the gyroscope as well for the lighter plane. It works now, thanks!

Btw, players won't have access to mirroring axis placement Survival Mode. Can the AFM be placed correctly in Survival Mode?
Takeshi  [author] 21 Apr, 2019 @ 10:47am 
have you reduced the power ?
Messy 21 Apr, 2019 @ 10:34am 
Thanks for the reply!
I put the AFM along the mirroring axes. It seems to work now however, the handling is incredibly 'floaty'.

I've increased the weight of the plane and it handles slightly better. It seems to handle lighter planes (less than 10k kg) weirdly. Is this something you've noticed Takeshi?
Takeshi  [author] 19 Apr, 2019 @ 6:12am 
please check out the miroring axes, should be like in the first video, red axes muss be in a line with the cockpit (start with a landing gear to be shure). If this is not the reason, please upload the BluePrint. Number of thrusters has no impact to AFM.
Messy 19 Apr, 2019 @ 4:57am 
I forgot to add that my test plane only has 1 Thruster (pointing back).
Messy 19 Apr, 2019 @ 4:45am 
Hi Takeshi, great mod concept, and I love your plane parts mod!

I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work on my DS. I've tried different combinations of blocks and haven't been able to get this working.

Example 1:
Plane consists of Cockpit, Batteries, Thruster, Gyro(100% power), AdvancedFlightModule(20% power), plane wheels (plane parts mod), and plane wings (plane parts mod).

Wings: <]

I've tried placing the wings like this:
(front)---<]---(back)
(front)---[>---(back)

I've tried with AFM+Gyro and with only an AFM.

In all of the above cases, the plane will take off and then uncontrollably spinning around until it crashes again.

The only way I can get it not spin is to remove the AFM :(

Am I missing anything? I'd love to get this mod working.
Takeshi  [author] 17 Apr, 2019 @ 8:33am 
AFM is still working, i use it in Single Player and on our DS. Please remove the AFM Folder from your modfolder so steam can download it again. Most errors in last time (also on other mods) was related to download errors and a reupload fixed the problem.
Ponury 16 Apr, 2019 @ 2:00pm 
Hi, ADV still working ? I have "critical error" :|
AudioGlitch42 5 Sep, 2018 @ 9:19am 
Well i dont have any controll.. ill try and upload once i have time, kinda busy with homework atm xD
Takeshi  [author] 5 Sep, 2018 @ 8:09am 
Is the effect only too powerfull? Reduce power of the AFM. Or please upload blueprint.
AudioGlitch42 4 Sep, 2018 @ 1:12pm 
Yeah my mirror is like in the video
Takeshi  [author] 4 Sep, 2018 @ 12:25pm 
please check your mirror, maybe forward direction is different. Check the video to see how the red mirror should be.
AudioGlitch42 4 Sep, 2018 @ 11:17am 
i use the plane parts mod for lift, and the skyblade plane prop for forward momentum, do you need up and down thrust?
AudioGlitch42 4 Sep, 2018 @ 11:07am 
sooooo, think i did something wrong... my plane just barrel rolls... xD
Takeshi  [author] 20 Aug, 2018 @ 12:23am 
@Shyska Ronja, if you activate mirrioring, your forward direction hast to be the same like the firt mirroring. Check the video. If this not, the AFM works wrong.
Shy 19 Aug, 2018 @ 9:17pm 
I think I'm missing something, do you have to have the block in a certain orientation or do gyroscopes interfere with the AFM block?
CrownPitch Royal 21 Jul, 2018 @ 4:31am 
Np the differance it makes is just wow. So much for so little.
Takeshi  [author] 21 Jul, 2018 @ 4:29am 
thx, was my first one and i will not fly my planes without it. Love it too ;-)
CrownPitch Royal 21 Jul, 2018 @ 4:27am 
Good job on fixing it so quickly! I love this mod and seeing it destroy it self and my planes was fun for a short while. Amazing mod!
Takeshi  [author] 20 Jul, 2018 @ 12:48pm 
@all,
the AFM is working again, its possible that you have to set new gyropower because i had to change the way the ship rools.
Takeshi  [author] 19 Jul, 2018 @ 12:13pm 
@all, with 1.187.0 the AFM is shacking the ship. Will check this at the weekend.
Draketh Doorsbane 24 Jun, 2018 @ 4:08pm 
I am going ot have to test this and see if it works well with deadly rentry, which seems to be working perfectly on my server. if it behaves in multiplayer i think it would be a huge boon to the feel
Wasp 12-B 25 Aug, 2017 @ 9:54am 
@Takeshi

Regarding what W4STED W4LRUS mentioned, you didn't so much misspell, as you simply misused some words, such as "It's" instead of simply "It", or "While" instead of "With".

If you wish you can add me to your contacts and I will gladly provide you with a rewriten description for your mod.
"Slobby" 25 Jul, 2017 @ 10:10pm 
i really love the afm, its probably because i love planes and any flying things... Or the fact that this is just an awesome mod
Takeshi  [author] 26 May, 2017 @ 5:29am 
Thanks for that feedback ;-)
Witsch one? ;-)
"Slobby" 25 May, 2017 @ 7:16am 
you misspelled multiple words... just saying you should edit that out.
Mobius 1 15 Apr, 2017 @ 12:41pm 
I did start with landing gear but once I deleted all the AFMs except for 3 it started flying just fine. Great mod BTW. It would be cool if we had a yaw ability!
Takeshi  [author] 15 Apr, 2017 @ 2:27am 
@klitchy, maybe for the AFM the front is not the front. Did you start with an Landing Gear? Can You check the mirror level? The red one should have the same direction like your Cockpit. If not, flying forward leads to nose up or down. If you have the wrong direction, it is a little bit tricky (only with copy), place a new landing gear on free place (not on your ship), then lock at one of your lowest blocks, CTRL+C, then place that copy on the landing gear, be shure the cockpit loock in the same direction like the gear. If this not help or you cant get it to work, please publish your Ship, i will check that.
Mobius 1 14 Apr, 2017 @ 7:24pm 
I made ship that looks like a halo longsword using the plane parts and your AFMs, however it keeps trying to do backflips and constantly pitches up its almost impossible to fly idk what i did wrong I put like 10 of the modules on the ship is that bad? reduced their power to 20%
Xaaeon 6 Apr, 2017 @ 9:46am 
This mod is amazing!
Cardboard Overlord 17 Jan, 2017 @ 6:36am 
I did have your wheels on it. Maybe that was the problem. I did notice that speed was shown in kmh instead of m/s. I'm working on something else at the moment, but I'll try again without wheels when I have time. Thanks for the advice.
Takeshi  [author] 17 Jan, 2017 @ 6:25am 
maybe the power is too low, but because there was never a large wing available, nobody used it. Maybe i will change it. To the flying behavior, have you wheels on it? I made some models to check and i have only problems if i am using wheels. Please check your plane without wheels, if this works i can tell that keen is responsible. If not, please publish the Blueprint of your plane. Thx
Cardboard Overlord 16 Jan, 2017 @ 7:00am 
It doesn't seem so good for large ships, though. I can't seem to make one that flies well with this. The roll function is very slow to respond, if at all, and then sometimes it locks into a flat spin. Small ships are great, though.
Cardboard Overlord 15 Jan, 2017 @ 11:22am 
Absolutely incredible! This is so much better than vanilla flight. It feels very intuitive, and turns atmospheric gameplay into something enjoyable, instead of just a burden. Thanks so much. :)
