@SilverStar well, sure but as you reduce the input value the engines usually make less noise making them less realistic. Guess we could say i'm asking "How little fuel can a plane burn with near stock engines?"
About the comparison, before posting i did test 3 airliners (about 737, 757 size) and i actually got very different results.
One of them was my own PA 45-2 (modified to carry less fuel in order to get and accurate conversion from percentage to Liters) and it burned 1300L, then a random A320 that burned 900L and a fictional airliner i downloaded that due to more realistic sound generators burned a whopping 7000L.
I guess speed was also a factor, for example the A320 burned less than the PA 45 but it flew at 320km/h compared to 540km/h of the PA.
Sure it's not really the test you're proposing, just thought it was a fun experiment to share that shows How much consumption can vary.
as it turns out i haven't made anything with a combustion engine in maybe the last 1/2 years (ok i did post a hybrid rally car one time but come on :/)
Reading the first comment anyone has ever left under one of my posts (just a basic airliner). I was a little excited to get actual feedback but it read: "You're supposed to make complex stuff not a stick"
like, bro i just started building planes that are actually usable no need to roast me like that please :(
From my experience the floats need to be moved forward slightly compared to the center of mass. If the problem is that the plane sinks you need more buoyancy, in short make the floats bigger.
If you could tag me on an unlisted post of the plane you're building i could tell you exactly what's the issue.
I have made a lot of EVs and i use 2 modified jet engines facing in opposite directions, controllable via pitch (a low power one for reversing, a high power one for regular driving).
I apply 3 main changes:
1) set the "max" setting to a very low level (about 0.15-0.20) to improve consumption and recreate the silent whir of electric motors. A lower number means better consumption and less noise. Also the "input" setting must be set to: Pitch*clamp01(GS<[number]) to limit the top speed.
2) I change the "powermultiplier" depending on how much power is needed.
3) I add a "throttleResponse" setting in the "Engine" section, allowing quicker or slower acceleration response
Some people proposed using FTs to make the engines work only when the wheels are touching the ground but i think it's a bit of a non issue unless you're making a rally car of some sort.
If you want to see this in action here's an EV platform i made
I hope this comment was useful.
@crazyplaness hey man, just asking, could you test the car please? i'd like to post the modification soon and i need to know for sure if the original version works well in VR.
I got a comment from one of these under my recent build (which got like 0 recognition compared to my other stuff). I was so mad i reported/blocked that ""thing"" out of existence.
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Well happy to have reminded you.
You told me in the teaser so i wanted to grant him my best wishes.
(P.S. Funny story, but it's my dad's birthday too lol)
