More technical options for prop engines?

12 VaultBuster  8.9 years ago

If high altitude effects are gonna be added, could we have more options for customization for prop engine aircraft, such as fuel mixture, turbo chargers, super chargers, oil heating, water heating? Sure this may be difficult to add, since you're also going to need add atmospheric effects (Mainly for turbo and super chargers, and intakes) for some of these proposed features. Kinda like, if someone wants to make a WW2 style fighter with WEP, we can have it added to the engine as an optional and if you run it too long you have the chance of over heating your water, or/and oil. Super and Turbo chargers can be used for high altitude enviroments where most engines would not be able to work due to air thinning. This could really help make some aircraft more fun to play with

    @DeezDucks True. Also, now I am on mobile so I don't know how the damage for guns work on this game, but. Is it also possible in the dogfight mode, have bullets effect performance of the engine if shot?

    @VaultBuster I think you would have to turn down the power a bit.

    @DeezDucks So what if it over heats? Would the engine explode like if you were using the pitch manually or would the engine just die out until you cool it off, (i.e. diving, landing in water maybe, lowering engine power and such)

    @DeezDucks Yeah, I would want to know what a mod would think though.

    I like the general direction this is heading. It would make SP more attractive as a simulator, not just a sandbox game.

    @DeezDucks I thought so too, the stock f18 can go beyond 800mph at sea level but at 35,000 feet plus it barely can reach 400mph

    I would certainly like to see features like this added, especially considering that a number of my planes are supposed to have turbo/super charged engines.

    @DeezDucks So why not have the ability to add super chargers and check water and oil over heat

    Engine performance is already altered by altitude.
