Recently, I am re-building a plane but with engine problems. No matter how much I increase the HorsePower, the speed does not work. Why? How to fix it?
@APlainPlaned in Xml add a variable named maxRpm. Im not sure exactly what the defaults are (around 2-2500 I believe) but it increases the speed at which the prop turns, whereas power just increases the engines ability to turn the prop. There is a limit, on the higher end it can cause some wonky things to happen with the propeller but you can pretty easily squeeze a significant amount of speed out of even a basic prop engine with it.
@APlainPlaned the problem is that the propeller pitch is locked at 30%. Turn off fixed pitch and it will be fast .
@AeroSportIndustries Thanks Brov, It finally worked.
@AeroSportIndustries Click
@AeroSportIndustries yes
@APlainPlaned did you increase power as well? High rpm requires high power to reach
@APlainPlaned HELP
@AeroSportIndustries 473000RPM But the speed is still 160 mph. I want it to 340 mph.
@APlainPlaned 5-10 mph? You can add alot of zeros before it gets buggy, and usually then the prop just explodes. What rpm did you set it too?
@AeroSportIndustries Ummm,
@AeroSportIndustries Yep, It does move 5-10 Mph when i add a few thousand RMP in Xml Editor. So I changed it to Jet engines.
@Hiimakeplanes eh I feel like it takes down the qaulity of a build. It affects the flight physics, so it wont fly like a prop anymore.

@Hiimakeplanes OK ill try Thanks
Easier
For props just add a jet engine
For jet engines you have to edit “powerMultiplier” and for propeller engines you have to edit “power”
Idk how too. When you change the HorsePower factor it should be more powerful. Sorry I couldn’t help.
