Hover Tech - Subassemblies

These subassemblies will help you build the perfect hovercraft. This post includes a brief description of each part. I will post an in-depth forum post about hover tech soon!

The parts:

1st screenshot: The boxy looking things are lift modules. They have the physics of a large wing, but they are small. Lift modules are mostly for advanced players who want to make their hovercraft glide a bit more after every jump.
TO PUT THE LIFT MODULES IN YOUR SUBS, grab them by the cylinder on the side closest to the cockpit.

2nd Screenshot: Hoverwheels. They have the same physics as wheels, but they make something hover. Treat them like normal wheels. These are great for use on large hovercraft.

3rd Screenshot: Hoverpads. You can make them yourself. No need to add them into your subs. They are simply resizable wheels that have the rims facing down. These are used in hovercrafts that slide around.

    @spefyjerbf Thanks. I tried using the heavy duty hoverwheels, and they worked.

    @ArcturusAerospace Possibly. Try adjusting your physics settings.

    They don't work for me. Is it because of high physics?

    @MechWARRIOR57 If you had asked me earlier, my answer would be no... However, I finally have the up-to-date fine tuner mod, and I will make a super-skinny hoverwheel, and I will post it publicly.

    @MechWARRIOR57 Someone could scale them to be thinner.

    @xXxMLGDOGE603xXx They are resized wings that are stacked in groups of 5. They have the same physics as wings.

    @spefyjerbf can you do the hover mechanism for me?

    @spefyjerbf ok um. It's not working. I used these wheels and put them on my Car. I nudged inside to the point I just cant see it. And then I started up the level, and the car was still down. Not even hovering...

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation The craft will still hover if you have the wheels nudged into the craft body.

    @spefyjerbf ok but doesn't the craft need to hover? And I mean by having nothing under it.

    @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Those hovercrafts usually have the wheels nudged into the body of the car. Try hiding the wheel with some fuselage blocks.

    Wait but how about the Hovercrafts that have their wheels disappeared? I don't want these wheels on the craft. It'll ruin the look entirely :/

    @CaesiciusPlanes Inside each module is a stack of XML resized wings.
