Planes which could previously climb straight vertically with ease now struggle heavily and are barely able to overcome gravity. No changes to thrusters or gravity in the log so presumably a bug. Acceleration in other directions does not seem significantly impacted.

Oh it could be that we unified all block stats, regardless of shape
lone wyvern
Oh?

tbf I can't remember how strongly this climbed before, I believe the vertical climb rate was quite low still
but it's pretty much a perfect hover now... frankly I don't actually mind it; it's kind of neat being able to hover like this without having to feather the throttle, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't do this previously

straight up vertical climbrate is related mostly to thrust and weight
so something related to those two must have changed which i also cant say i've particularly felt
or gravity, which regardless is something that directly correlates to both of those
normal blocks are also just really heavy
honestly nearly every air craft is better off using light cubes
lone wyvern
I do think light blocks are generally better for most aircraft
kind pier
it does appear to me at first glance though that your bot just appears heavy for the amount of forward thrust
lone wyvern
It is
it never had a high thrust to weight ratio
it's just that I remember previously having to tap my thrusters if wanting to hover vertically without climbing, whereas now holding them on continuously achieves the same effect
kind pier
yes, but hypothetically atleast, wings shouldnt be helping you go straight up
they dont provide meaningful lift in the correct direction
nor thrust
lone wyvern
yes
pretty sure they never have; that would be odd
this isn't a complaint of any sort; it's just a "huh, this is behaving a bit differently than it did before"
kind pier
im just saying their ability to produce lift shouldnt impact their ability to go straight up, so either thrusters or gravity or the weight of your bot has changed, unless wings do magic and do help do that and have been changed.
lone wyvern
Ah yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with wings
