VTOL Engine Test
Uploaded it public because I somehow ran out of unlisteds for the day, and I'm not comfortable with simply having another save file. I'd rather not have upvotes on this build, but I cant stop you from giving me free points! Anyway - yes, I am alive (somewhat). How are y'all doing?
Some controls if you are curious:
Throttle: Engine ON
VTOL: Center for hover, down for speed-controlled descent.
Pitch and Yaw: Non-vertical movement
Trim: Pitch Orientation. Note how the engines adapt to it (or they did the last time I checked. Speed control does not adapt... yet)
So, do you like my spaghetti code?
Notes for me:
A single parenthesis can make all the difference. I should probably edit the smoothing term (first sin part of the first term) later. Before that, lets try to make the max downward speed vary with VTOL (second term, 10 refers to the speed). After that, maybe an upward speed term might work too! Oh, and be sure to add the pitch to the angles.

@spefyjerbf Sure! Thanks.
@Gluck Of course! Feel free to tag me when it’s done, too.
@spefyjerbf Could I use this system for a build? Credit would of course be given.
@spefyjerbf ok,thanks
@Starlight Of course!
@spefyjerbf can i use this for my next build?
@Romanchik Thank you! A lot of trial-and-error with Funky Trees made this flight system possible.
I'm amazed, how can you do such a cool thing? Definitely it deserves an upvote!
When I you’re on iOS so you can’t use beta sad Pepe
@spefyjerbf I'm a beta tester, so all good to me
@Spikerya That’s great to hear! I think that there is an actual build in the future. It will probably be using the beta though.
Doing good, just waiting for more great builds! This is a good start tho ;)
