How come it seems that the smallest prop engine is the most powerful in the game? ANyone else see this?

    @TheOwlAce @Alienbeef0421 no problem
    And btw, here you can download propellers with changed rpm limit and you can make it with xml-modding as well

    It's because all engines have limited rpm.
    The rmp of the small engine is 2700, the rpm of the t3000 is 1900.
    Thats why it runs slower, but more powerfull

    @TheOwlAce because it's heavy.
    If you set the pitch control to Auto, then you may be right.

    Do Fixed or Manual (@75* pitch range, throttle governor off) and it rockets out like a speedster

    @Alienbeef0421 This isnt the case for me, the T1000 seems to work better than the other two. The T3000 is the worse of the three.

    Well

    Horsepower doesn't measure thrust. It measures how powerful the engine can spin the prop. Thrust is a different subject. Prop pitch determines how powerful the thrust of the plane is (optimum is 75*)

    So,

    HP-ACCELERATION

    PITCH-THRUST

    Try this, race 2 planes of the
    same weight, but one has the T1000 and the T3000 (note, the 3000 is heavier)

    You'll see that the T3000 accelerates to 760 (prop top speed, although reported glitches reached 2135 mph)
