After creating your beautiful tank chassis you may go on to add wheels, which are very boring. So here is how to make your depressing tank hover. First, hollow out an area inside your tank. (This will not only give room for the engine, but it will reduce weight) Then, get any powerful jet engine you want and reduce its size to 0.2,0.2,0.2. That should fit in a one block area. Then you must adjust the power multiplying thing to 100. (Make sure have enough fuel. i put in a weightless fuel tank that holds 9999999999. Also make sure you have a gyro with 250 speed and stability inside it with yaw, pitch, and roll control) Next, take off with the tank and adjust the power until it hovers, say 34%. Then you change the multiplying thing to 34. Finally keep playing around with the number like 34.894 until you get an even hover. (MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS FACING UP AND IS ON THE COM) I hope this is helpful.
@Noname918181 Sorry, I guess i miss phrased that, How does it work and what conditions do you need for the rotor to work?
@BananaPlanesINC
It's what makes the helicopter raise up the ground
@Noname918181 You have to help me on this, what is collective lift?
@Wi1dSk7 You are welcome, i tried to find a post on how to make one, and i did not find anything. So I thought this would help people who want to make a hover tank, but don't know how.
Heli rotors have Trim as the collective by default. Thanks for your helpful post @BananaPlanesINC
You can make it hover by flattening resizable wheel, more simple but a nightmare to make the suspension Quote-unquote "soft enough that you didn't notice its not actually hover" because the way wheel works is after you flatten it the wheel hitbox is still the same and doesn't change
That doesn’t work for uneven terrain and it will always go slightly up or down @jamesPLANESii
@BananaPlanesINC it's definitely the lack of collective lift.
@edensk I tried to use heli rotors on the inside of my tank but i could not get it to lift off the ground. Do you know if it is a lack of air to the rotor? I have no idea how they work.
Good work! Based on the comments, there are many ways to do this. I suppose it all goes to preference and implementation.
@jamesPLANESii or do what spefy does and use modded wheels
Or you can just look at the amount of thrust the engine you’re using produces and look at the weight of your plane and do “weight of your plane / engine thrust” and you’ll get it with 1 attempt
