On my craft I have a LOT of Blasto VTOL Engines and a LOT of VTOL Nozzles to utilize the power. However, in flight, only about 30% of the Blasto VTOL Engine fans are actually spinning. Does this mean that I'm only getting 30% of the power I could be getting? How do I fix this? I've tried adding more VTOL Nozzles but it did not change the issue.
@IzzyIA
I have no idea.
I think they have a fixed amount of thrust but activating only if there are VTOL engine present.
@IzzyIA I think so but I’ve had a hard time getting rcns to provide a lot of thrust
@meteorbook345 @GuyFolk Interesting, does the same apply to VTOL RCN Engines or do each have a set thrust?
@IzzyIA There's no limit, very old builds used to use big blocks of VTOL engines and a couple nozzles before overload and xml modding was a thing
@IzzyIA
idk.
I don't think there is no limit to it.
@GuyFolk Intersting, do nozzles have a max thrust they can output? Like will it be able to output 100x thrust if I have a single nozzle with 1000 engines? Or do the nozzles have an individual limit?
And the number of nozzle doesn't effect total thrust, if you have 1 engine and 10 nozzles, it will provide 0.1 thrust each.
The spinning fan is just an indication that the engine can and is sucking air in, otherwise it just use air from other source.
One of my build have just one completely blocked VTOL engine and it is not spinning but it's getting air by other mean and provide thrust anyway.
@jamesPLANESii Some of my builds I try to not modify the size and power of anything in xml as a challenge lol
@V Gotcha thanks
Why not just use 1 and increase it's power?
Seems to be a bug. All engines are being utilized though
