Auto Credit Based on BRuthless's piston engine bigguuur inline 8 cylinder

The rotation speed seems to be limited, atleast on rotators (in free spin!). Push the VTOL-slider up or down and increase throttle. You'll notice that there is no difference between 1% and 100% throttle, as the rotation speed limit is blocking the crankshaft to go faster. This is an enormous limitation and issue for mechanical systems (like piston engines).

    @Mod I've tested the idea of putting several rotators on top of each other. It doesn't work, the rotation speed is still exactly the same. It's weird, I expected the rotation speeds to add up.

    @Mod Makes sense, but it's just a workaround. And very inconvenient.
