Super Fast Piston Engine

35.1k IzzyIA  7.0 years ago

This is another leap forward into nonmodded fuel-less flight. This is a prototype for an engine I want to use to go at great speeds. The pistons spin as fast as possible, and I found out by accident that this thing can fly on its own lol. So I added some gyroscopes so you can happily fly around the map with ease haha. This engine is also somewhat throttleable down to about 50%. Expect some problems, as this is, again, just a prototype.

The engine is pretty easy to start, simply put VTOL all the way down and put throttle to 100%. Keep in mind that propeller direction can change randomly if you turn off the engine and turn it back on or if you throttle it down too low. If this happens, just put the VTOL Stick all the way to the top instead of bottom.

Controls-

VTOL: Propeller Pitch

Yaw,Throttle,Pitch,Roll, and Trim are all like conventional planes

P.S. Make sure you are in the “high” physics setting.
P.P.S. While this works fine on my IPad Pro, other mobile devices may have trouble running this engine, sorry

    It's interesting how the piston engine evolved in this game, at some point they could've been like this one

    I can’t find any stock engines on his page, but then again he does have a lot haha. He does have some pretty neat
    piston designs though @FlyingThings

    Oh, and, what physics level did you make this on? Becasue it keeps exploding on my device?

    @IzzyIA Some of his are un-modded, and i have some experience in unmodded engines too.

    Well this is non-modded, so you can’t really compare Visify’s and mine Engines @FlyingThings

    Visify has/had better ones, but this is a good start.
