Separate engine for rcn control

Mod TheLatentImage  8.6 years ago

What do you guys think about another engine that just controls rcn nozzles? There are times where I'd like the extra control, but I can't afford to spare the extra weight and space of a vtol engine.

How about an engine that is the size of one block that only powers rcn nozzles?

    @AgDynamics aww... you're the man! I didn't even notice that part in the code about auto assign. That's exactly what they were doing on me, regardless if I changed it. Thank you very much for this tip. It will be invaluable to me.

    @TheLatentImage In the XML, you can manually set the RCN inputs, but it only accepts "Roll", "Pitch" and "Yaw", all other inputs I tried ("Throttle", "VTOL", "Null", and "1") threw errors when the plane was loaded. You also have to change the "autoAssignType" value to "False" otherwise the RCN nozzle inputs will be assigned upon loading into the world, based on the CoM.

    Sure, that'll be great!

    I wish they could be linked to throttle for small planes/ missiles. @TheLatentImage

    Also, since we're talking rcn nozzles... we really need to be able to determine what input they respond to. Or they can automatically choose as they are set up now.

    @sirtribesman yeah, that's been brought up before in a different thread. Someone made a mod for that though. I haven't tried it out but the pics looked pretty good.

    @xXrocketdummyXx I'm not sure how that applies to, or solves the issue behind the creation of this thread. Also, helicopter propellers are achievable through xml modification as demonstrated by a number of individuals in the community.

    @TheLatentImage @Wahoo12 I'm in the missile business! That would be perfect. Check out my guided missile. It's the First for SimplePlanes!

    Cool idea. Hard to get some space for a full VTOL engine sometimes.

    That would be cool (the rcn engine and the missile engine)

    @AeroEngineering yeah, I thought about that the other day. Like small diameter super thrust engines for missles. You should create a thread for that, I'd vote it.

    @TheLatentImage hire welcome. You should add missle angines to the desription
