Gears/Transmission?

1,399 Drobot432  4.6 years ago

Ok, I know there used to be a mod for gears, but it was removed, wasn't it? Also, I know there is a mod for a transmission, but from what I've seen, it is ONLY available as a 3 speed. I'd love to be able to have transmissions with an adjustable number of gears. At least let there be gears so I can make my own transmission. From what I've seen, creating gears from scratch out of fuselage parts doesn't work very well. I am an engineering nerd so I have a strong love for machines with gears, and I feel like gears would allow me to make some great stuff in this game.

EDIT: Also, is it possible to exceed the built-in rotational speed limit for parts? And is it possible to allow wheels to be driven by rotating shafts?

    @An2k, yes, real infinite rotators would be nice as well, but really what I mean is the ability for things to have faster RPMs than the game's built in limit. You can make infinite rotators by using vtol engines and nozzles on shafts if you really want, but you'll notice that they wont spin as fast as you'd expect, no matter how much you increase the power on the engines.

    would love simple planes to have a gear parts as well ..like those in a differential in cars for dif locking ..sun..worm..gears ...gears for ornicopter flapping wings...when i search " differential " seen complex builds with gears & a lotta parts..for now i use funky trees for somekind of a shifter...On your edit part u must mean infinite rotators?..on driveshaft connected to wheels wil like to see that one as well
