I have added power to the engines since each nozzle recieves 1/n thrust where n is the number of nozzles

    @Nothing3627 the ones used for lateral motion need to be aligned to the COM (for example the up/down ones need to stay on the same z and x positions but you can move them along y), the rotation nozzles need to simply be spread out enough to have proper leverage

    @TheMouse make sure the craft's center of mass is near the sphere in the center, also you can increase engine power to make the rotation engines more responsive

    I am trying to use this to make a plane. However, whenever I attach it to stuff, it will just fly spinning into the air. I checked, and I still have all the variables. Any fixes?
