[b]ahem: Contraptions. Not plate with a chip on it[/b]
[QUOTE=Sestze;18104670]I care. :I
Unique/awesome/innovative use of applyForce that blows current control schemes out of the water. Whenever anyone posts a thread like that, you can count on a good amount of people showing up to call it complete garbage.
It's the concept that counts, this is an incredibly fluid and realistic flight system for a helicopter on an easy-to-use shell.
Also, I see plenty of contraptions that don't have any wiring, or very little wiring. Do you see me marching into those threads and calling their contraptions garbage because of the techniques they used?
Throwing a lot of props at something to make it look "awesome" is the biggest waste of time if your contraption cannot move or work correctly. GMOD is not modeling software.
edit: Yeah, my computer's still bricked. It's coming back in a couple of days. Here's hoping that'll resolve the issue.[/QUOTE]
Okay I'll post it a third fucking time because you don't read.
Put equal amounts of effort into both parts of the contraption
[b]Both parts of the contraption.[/b]
It has good expression work, but the model is [b]shitty[/b].

Ill post a 6th time because you cant read. Everyone knows the model is shitty, i said it myself. The thread is about the expression, not the model. If you want time spent equally on contraptions then do it to your own. You dont make the rules for how we do our stuff.

It's [b]constructive criticism[/b].
I don't care if you make a thread called "really shitty car" and you are going on about how we shouldn't state our thoughts [b]just[/b] because you already said it sucks. I'm going to tell you how to make it better regardless.

Your first post might be considered constructive criticism, but at this point you are just bitching about what other people think. Do you even know what a contraption is? The shell/model of a shitty heli isnt a contraption. Its simply a cover to go over the contraption itself. You want to pick the worst part of the post and whine and complain until others are convinced and take your side.
Guess what.. WE ARE ALREADY ON YOUR SIDE. EVERYONE knows the model is complete shit, i knew it before i posted it. This post is about my Contraption...
con·trap·tion (kn-trpshn)
n.
A mechanical device; a gadget.
A model isn't a device or gadget.
contraption [kənˈtræpʃən]
n
Informal, often facetious or derogatory a device or contrivance, esp one considered strange, unnecessarily intricate, or improvised
A model certainly isn't facetious or derogatory. It cant really be called be called strange, unnecessarily intricate, or improvised either.
Although the model was improvised, its certainly isn't a device or gadget. So again i don't know what your whining about, because everyone here agrees with you.

Maybe if you did tell me how to make it better that would help, but you didn't. Nothing you posted in this thread was any value to anyone.

Resorting to childish banter now are we? Oh well since you are leaving this thread you wont see this anyway. People always resort to physical or verbal abuse when they have no other way to express their feelings.

Don't you ever call us [b]we[/b]. You just got here. You don't take constructive criticism. A plate with a chip on it is neither a mechanical device or gadget. Asking us to grade you on your chip instead of your helicopter is dumb and doesn't belong in the contraption forums. Go to the wiremod forums. They won't care. We do.

Again one of those times where reading comprehension comes into play. When i said "We" I was referring to myself and the others in the thread that agree with me. I would be ashamed to number myself with you. Your opinions on what and where i should post my contraptions couldn't possibly mean any less to me.
Then why post fuck face. If you want criticism on your little chip with a shitty model then go to the wiremod forums. If you make an amazing chip WITH A COOL ASS MODEL(i.e. setze's walkers) then your good here. You have a cool chip. OK. BIG WHOOP. Now make it work on a model. Damn. Fuck.

All aboard the peace train, c'mon guys
Oh son of a fucking shitstorm, in b4 ban! :tiphat:
god damn you guys, you are criticizing the wrong thing. the chopper isn't that ugly other than the tiny rotors. grow up. i have more of a problem with the expression itself
<-- wants to make the model for it
The copter looks just like many other things posted here, I don't see why you nag about this particular contraption, which btw, has effort put into it compared to KLEINER'S HOVERBORDE LOL.
I like how it flies, but as you have been told before, a good thing would be to prepare the aesthetics aswell before posting...
And guys, don't be so flamboyant. I'm actually surprised that you attacked him over such a thing.
Yet again some of you completely ignored the "CONSTRUCTIVE" part of the critics.
The helicopter body is just a demonstration of the application of the chip. It is designed for YOU to make your own heli body around the chip. It honestly has NOTHING to do with the helicopter astheticly, or at all really.
BTW I would love to see a release of the new applyforce version
Anyone else think this looks like a submarine with helicopter blades?
IMO yeah, It doesn't look great, but Onemanclan has proven himself on the forums, so lets just leave it guys.

Proven himself?
Disregarding whether that's true or not, it's irrelevant to whether this particular contraption is good. Reputation doesn't change shit when you look at the facts.

Stfu, just cause you have no building rep
[QUOTE=Onemanclan;18119755]blah blah blah bunch of shit about how the outer shell of something isn't a contraption[/QUOTE]
You're fucking wrong about that. A gmod contraption is any functioning thing made in gmod that consists of a number of props. Some e2 holo plane for example isn't, some KLEINERS HOVERBOARD LOL is, although it isn't the best of examples. Don't come in here and try and act like models are not important for contraptions.
Cool helicopter, flies pretty nice, something someone said about it being a bit too jerky on the acceleration part, I don't care if thats "how the pilot flies" The helicopter shouldn't be able to do that ever, no matter what the pilot does.
Model isn't as bad as everyone claims. It looks a bit like some onemanned submarine with rotors. I've seen much worse.
Improve some on the e2 to make the pitch, yaw, roll and bank a little smoother, because I think it's a bit jerky.
You probably know what to do about the model already.
He didn't say they werent. Models are important. But not in this case, as this thread is not about the helicopter.The complete helicopter is a contraption, but this thread IS NOT ABOUT THE HELICOPTER. This is not a contraption thread. This thread is about an e2 that can be used in ANY contraption that looks like ANYTHING so long as you need it to fly like a heli
I like how you made the tail fins go down :)
