Propeller Jitter

648 Tengam  6.7 years ago

So for the past week(ish) I’ve noticed that certain propellers have been shaking like mad. At first I assumed that it was just that specific build, but now it’s happening with my Gyrfalcon as well. It appears that once propeller engines exceed 500mph, they start to swivel severely, which vibrates the craft and makes it incredibly hard to aim or fly.

The first one was single-engine, the second was quadruple-engine. Neither had any jets, and the Gyrfalcon has at least 2/4 engines stock.

Does this happen for anyone else? For reference, I play on iPad Mini.

    @Minecraftpoweer: The first plane where I noticed the jitter was a single-engine, but the other was a four-prop.

    @BACconcordepilot No can do, I won't be back to my desktop for quite some time. Otherwise, I would gladly reward your honesty with the deliciously bugged aircraft componants you desire.

    @BACconcordepilot Mod the prop to have (almost) zero mass and about 6,000 horsepower, that's what I did. After I changed the prop back to 1x mass scale the "problem" went away.

    Modded propellers do hilarious/annoying things. Just last night I was testing a plane and noticed the propellers moved forward as I increased the throttle. At full throttle, they hovered a foot in front of the nose. I understand you probably don't do much modding on an ipad, but I dunno.

    They do that when: They are too fast, have only 1 propeller, going to fast because the plane is moving too fast in some way.
