Vonteco Industries is proud to unveil the VTV-2 thrust vectoring engine to the public. This model incorporates roll, pitch, yaw and trim thrust vectoring. These engines are available for immediate use without the need of credit but if you can remember to tag me I would love to see how you incorporate them into your build.

VTOL ENGINES ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS TVC SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY

TO REMOVE SIMPLY CLICK ON LARGEST GRAY FUSELAGE RING AND DRAG TO YOUR SUB-ASSEMBLIES, THE ENTIRE ENGINE ASSEMBLY CAN BE EASILY ATTACHED TO ANY BUILD

" Thrust vectoring, also thrust vector control or TVC, is the ability of an aircraft, rocket, or other vehicle to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) in order to control the attitude or angular velocity of the vehicle ".

The plane used to test the engines is PRISM by KaiserTheKeyboard, please visit his page and check out the original.

Hope everyone enjoys this build, please comment with any suggestions.

    Okokok I keep solving but getting new problems. I found the spot to edit the turbines and thats all fine, I can go into normal flight, but I just tested it out (the engines arent fully installed, just kinda vibin on the back of the raptor momentarily) and it doesent turn as good as before. The original raptor was mostly realistic with the data the public has at the moment and flew great. But these engines dont like to pitch as fast, I had problems rolling, but when I did figure out the rolling with my friend rudder, the elevators seemed to lock up and I couldnt pitch. Ugh its too late for this.

    Edit: Yea its confirmed. Obviously since I have the engines literally just sitting, attached to the back of the aircraft, I can understand the pitch rate, but I am unable to roll at all. Whenever I touch the roll axis, I just pitch up corresponding to how much I roll. Im thinking the elevator lock up after high rudder rolls is due to a stall though Thrust vectoring wouldnt allow stalls, atleast other thrust vecotring engines ive seen havent.

    Edit 2: Ok so I tested out my unbalanced weight theory but I was wrong. I shortened the large fusalage connected to the engine to bring the engine closer to the aircraft to try to simulate the default engines without having to actually install them yet it was even worse. Pitch was practically non existent, roll sorta worked. And I didnt try rudder tho I presume it worked

    Ok I figured it out. There wasnt really a problem. The ag for default blowers was Ag 1, which seems to activate your engines. But the problem now is that the engines are strong enough to power the raptor, but I cant find the main engines. I see the turbines, I was able to access the thrust vectoring ports, but it doesent allow me to select the main turbines. Is there a special spot I have to have the camera in order to be able to select the main turbine?

    I just enabled burners on the raptor to see if that was the Ag to start your engines but no, all it did is that it enabled burners even though I got rid of the default engines (im assuming I missed one) is the problem that since there is another populsion system that these don’t want to fire up?

    Hey im modding a F22 raptor that I really like but it doesent have thrust vectoring modeled into it. So I added your engines but there isnt an population, nor any flames. Am I doing something wrong?

    @Jackmackeral Hey, I made a DEMO plane
    Try it out, this works very well! (I edited Wasp)

    YW, and if you still need help just let me know and ill be glad to help. The engine exhaust color uses hex code so just google hex code color and it should pull up a site to choose. Another way you can learn is to download a users build and look at how their engine is modded and then try that on your own. I had to use other users parts until i got the hang of it myself.@Khanskaya

    I need help. I'm making and testing an engine but it I can't control the engine exhaust. Any tips or advice? (PS: I have overload XML but can't find the right value to change)

    Nice Job! I just checked it out and thought it deserved a spotlight. Since I uploaded this i have implimented a variation on a plane of my own Dracon and discovered if you tune the rotators and engine power to the weight of your aircraft it will be capable of some amazing air manuevers. For instance if you adjust the pitch rotators on the dracon to 20’ you will see what i mean, i changed it to 15’ to make it easier to fly because it takes practice working with TV.

    I kinda did a fast interceptor on your engines here it is https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/1nvY2l/Mig-38

    Yes......it was a oversight on my part...you see the scaled down circular engine in the middle? It was previously modded to activate with AG-1, i forgot to change it but you can change the input to throttle or whatever you wish. My intent was to change them to VTOL so the engines would still have enough thrust for air maneuvers without having to use a afterburner.... because its nudged in around a lot of parts you have to zoom in to highlight the engine so you can change it. Hope this helps!

    @Texasfam04 something activates inside the engines On AG-1 like extra auto cruise engines or something?

    the best way to see is by taking it apart, the key is nudging in stages. it doesnt work if you just nudge it all together ast once. @SirEmbryo2
