    @Sarnnox Hey, just wanted to let you know that, with this, I have now made 4 aircraft using this exact technique. Truly was a life saver at the time and has lead me to make some amazing aircraft. Hope you're doing well!

    never mind, i figured it out by putting a specific throttle percentage

    This video was very helpful, especially since i'm a little new to the funky trees part of simpleplanes. I did run into a bit of a snag through while trying to implement it into my fokker E.III in the fact that once it starts to spin, it won't stop. The code i used was sum(160*clamp01(Throttle)). If you could please help me with this I would be very grateful.

    @AndrePlaysSP Yes, and the guns are just for sound effects.

    @NexusGaming No, its not controlled by vtol, its controlled by the "FireGuns" button or the space key.

    @Soll From what I know, there are two types of rotary engines, there are rotary engines with the cylinders in a radial configuration, with the crankshaft remaining stationary in operation, with the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotating around it as a unit, and there are wankel engines that use a eccentric rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion.

    I think its called a radial engine. A rotary would be something like mazda's wankel
