this is about physical flight not non phys by the way.
I was tinkering with a new UFO design i am working on at a sandbox and tried a couple of physical flight scripts out. the best i could manage was a short fight before the new ship plummeted to the ground and then could not be coached to move at all after that.
So is it not possible to make a ship using a few mega prims to work with physical flight? am i restricted to non phys scripts such as mulitmove forever?

Large prims run out of energy pretty fast even if they're not megaprims.
Try hollowing it out. _____________________

it was at 95% hollow, cut and dimpled to a smaller size as well. i used 4 to make a "ufo like" shape and linked them and had a normal .5 cube as the parent prim actting at the pilots seat if that info helps at all

I dunno th' answers, but I know my blimp (from Cubey Terra) works jes fine in flight. It uses a 20x20x60 mega for the hull. _____________________
