@Visify And that is why this game is not physicy...
I got to about 70% but I think I should be able to increase the piston speed more, I already put the vtol to 100%@Visify
@FlyingThings Thanks.
@Fjorge Yep, it looks kinda strange. It only happens to me on startup though, and doesnt seem to mess with the functionality.
@Miniplanes Good luck. That's the hard part, overcoming that would be quite a breakthrough.
@Visify True, and did you realize that the pistons go through the center axle? Maybe a problem...
@Fjorge Yeah more pistons is a good idea, the pistons tend to glitch when going faster though.
Awesome design, I now just need to find a sweet spot where it goes faster without flipping
@Visify Probably... It might be better to add more pistons or XML it to have more speed on the pistons...
@Fjorge Thanks, yeah I'm aware of that, it probably doesnt have enough momentum.
The only problem is that when you add wheels the thing goes backwards...
Good for a start.
Cool!(Btw I am Bill0411)
