Nah, the this is already pretty low-part count on its own, though. Plus, the new cannons don't make a good enough "smoke" effect to use as a smoke grenade.
@ThomasRoderick

Nope, the you don't need the new input system for this. A starter only works once when you need it to work. Regarding the second inquiry, yes- I will add in a transmission soon. That's for later though! Thanks for your attention.
@ThomasRoderick

Nah, I'd consider that "cheating" myself. I want fuelless propulsion, so I'll probably use an impactForce gun to resemble a Coffman starter.
@ThomasRoderick
.
That's the job of the starter. I haven't added it in yet, but will do in the future. Once an engine starts spinning, the rotational moment of inertia of the flywheel keeps it spinning one way.

I'll post an unlisted post with the functions I used in this post. Having the ability to toggle it via AGs help out a ton, also I've enabled zeroOnDeactivate in order for the system to 'properly' switch off when not active.
@Leehopard @Stormfur @marcox43

This is already with a floor function to ignore decimal input- meaning that autocorrect only activates when there is more than 1 degree of deviation. The problem is, this works pretty well at low speeds, but at higher speeds any deflection causes larger changes that actually cause the plane to 'correct' itself too much, which then turns into a vicious cycle, thereby causing the wobble.

Sorry if I sound condescending, but do you mind if you either congregate some of your comments into one? There's some valuable discussion in the comments section here that might go obscured with too much comments cluttering it.

Stuff like this and this. They all are completely new ways of using parts via the new functions. Reduced complexity of parts, and generally more freedom in design. Judging by your build style, I assume you're not too familiar with XML yet- but start playing around with XML more intensively and you'll realize how innovative this stuff is.

Regarding your second question, there are options to change the shape of the shell. Either a typical shell, or a sphere. For launchVolume, I can't say for sure right now because it's bugged. I assume it's either literally the sound volume or the amount of shells fired in one go. No, proximity fuses aren't a thing yet- just that distance-fused shells are possible now. Similar to IRL flak.
@valaszki

I think I would have to use three hinges clipped together to work at three different speed ranges, but you can do it by accessing the IAS attribute and writing a function to do what you said.
@CrashFighter05
.
Go ahead, the idea isn't too novel. I'd like if I get credited for the function, though. You don't need to if you don't want to. All you need is the function: sin(Time * 180). Adjust the 180 accordingly if you want different speeds.
@vcharng

Yep, I'm on board with @CoolPeach here. Try this particular example: Altitude-1 and Altitude - 1 yield different results. Personally, I'd say always use spaces to be safe (and consistency).
@vcharng
.
Regarding the angles, I'll have to look into that. I'll verify your statement after I get home today. For your statement about syntax, I'll have to disagree. Go see for yourself, see if Roll-1 and Roll - 1 produces the same results. Regardless, spacing is a good habit to have especially in code.
@Type2volkswagen
Beacon lights are different. They're controlled solely by Activation groups- notice that they don't have a inputController class of attributes in their part XML.
So to answer your question, no. Although, you can 'hide' the light and use a piston to show the light when you press yaw.
@Minecraftpoweer
.
Nah, the round is at max speed... The recoil force is weird, if I don't put any it blows up, if I put normal amounts it blows up. Just terribly inconsistent, I'm not sure what to do.
@Minecraftpoweer

After testing, I found that air-to-air in cannons does work. I can kill some bigger targets like bombers with it, but I have a problem with my aircraft disintegrating whenever the cannon fires... Any ideas about that?
