Ground Effect

Adds parts that increase lift when flying close to the ground or water. This took forever to tune.

How to use

The parts this mod adds can only be attached to wings. Make sure most of the parts are in front of the center of mass, otherwise it'll be hard to take off and land because you'll be flipping forward. If the ground effect is too strong with the big parts use smaller parts or less parts. If the ground effect is too weak use the big parts or more of the smaller ones.

If you use a biplane put the parts only on the bottom wing because it'll think any surface below it is the ground. The parts can be nudged into the wings because the particles emit slightly below the parts.

How it works

Each part launches invisible particles below it, The amount of particles is dependent on your speed. When those invisible particles hit a surface including another plane, They turn visible and launch back upwards. When they hit you they apply a small upward force. If the original invisible particle doesn't hit anything it despawns. The 3 differently sized parts emit different amounts of particles. I use an invisible surface at water level to allow ground effect to work over water but that means ships can't move.

Example builds

Pls try every one of these builds so you can get an idea of how the mod works and how to make things with
it. The parts can be nudged up into the wings but I intentionally didn't to show many parts there are.

    @Quackmint I guess you can do it manually?
    You put the mod on the "Mods" folder on the game itself

    @IceCraftGaming The old versions of the joint venture are so simple that the game can be created in a couple of weeks. But the color adjuster, fuselages and more are the merit of the people who made these mods. what can I say, there are no textures in the game except for earth, sky and water. It's 2024 now! and in the trailer we saw textures that can be used on an airplane

    I might sound annoying but it doesn’t do anything realistic/special. It looks like there is wheat under the planes

    @BaconEggs messing around with particles in unity is more fun.

    @PPLLAANNEE normal thermals hang under clouds. You also have blue thermals, but that happens when there is little moisture in the air and there are no clouds.

    @TheGliderGuy do thermals move around at all or are they mostly stationary
