Magnus effect

1,220 KeX0609  7.6 years ago

Ok I've been wondering for a while now if it was possible to build a plane that can fly using the magnus effect. I've attempted and of course failed due to the gyroscopic forces that are just way too strong for a plane that has so little lift and weight. Has anyone found a way to do it yet? Or is it even possible in the game at the moment?

    The air is simulated as two forces, drag and lift. If it was simulated as particles, it would be more dynamic, and it would allow for things like magnus effect, but it would be difficult for devices to run.
