I’m trying so hard to make a working plane 😭

[tender geyser]

That's not THAT hard! That's easy after watching tutorial or two! Flying is harder if you ask me

[elfin plume]

Well since the removal of the engine from the VS clockwork mod my goal was to make a plane that ran on an engine like I did with the engine from VS Clockwork.

But it proved to be difficult because the diesel engines mod has such a low RPM output that I’ve had to build an entire transmission setup inside the plane to make a plane that’ll even move!

But with that comes bigger size

[tender geyser]

rotation speed controller?

[elfin plume]

Has a limit of 256 RPM output

Need more than that to make up for the weight.

[tender geyser]

oh ok

[elfin plume]

Yeah

Because 1 normal sized diesel won’t be able to handle all the mechanisms of the plane (just the rotation input to the flaps alone over stress it. Plus the input to the prop bearing)

You can use datapack for less Weight for create mod stuff
