    I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to abandon this project @SimpleTechAndResearch your propeller just refuses to run correctly on my iPad, and the torpedo itself just won't function for me without a complete redesign

    I'll try to design an aircraft around the torpedo, but no guarantee it'll be my best performer @SimpleTechAndResearch

    @bskngshrk Well set the throttle on the propeller to an activation group then

    If the propeller is always running, it disrupts the plane's stability and is very dangerous both in-flight and during launch @SimpleTechAndResearch

    @bskngshrk It doesn't need to have a cockpit on it. It just needs to be dropped right. Try turning off the pitch options (or set it to auto) and put the propeller throttle on an Act group

    I have @SimpleTechAndResearch but that still leaves the first issue. If the torpedo were to be dropped from a bomber and work properly, the primary cockpit would have to be within the torpedo itself, which causes the airplane to be completely abandoned and unable to fire weapons or track speed and altitude after launch

    @bskngshrk Try placing a new propeller down.

    I can't seem to figure out your torpedo @SimpleTechAndResearch first of all, it can't run independently from the plane, since it uses a conventional propeller engine, secondly, I used the VTOL controls to try to influence the propeller, but it doesn't seem to work

    Sure I will @SimpleTechAndResearch in a few days. My next upload will be my 12.5k special, then I'll do our torpedo bomber

    Yeah it looks great! @SimpleTechAndResearch would you like me to make a new torpedo bomber with yours?

    @bskngshrk Oh okay. Well I made my own torpedo here, and I'm wondering. Does it look okay to be on a Torpedo Bomber?

    I did a while ago, yeah. I had to make the torpedo, too @SimpleTechAndResearch TBT2 Bomber
