Lerp

[deft plank]

1. You can use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.MoveTowards.html, if third parameter is 2 * Time.deltaTime it’ll increase 2 units every second
2. For 2, you have to use lerp correctly. The third parameter represents the percentage from a to b (.5 is 50% from a to b). You have to store the time passed and divide it by total time

timePassed += Time.deltaTime;
float t = timePassed / 3; // accelerates to maxThrust in 3 seconds
float thrust = Mathf.Lerp(initialThrust, maxThrust, t);```

This video is pretty good

Thank you very much, I'll check it out in a sec

Both solutions work perfectly

Thank you very much @deft plank

Um

Could you help me here a little more

private void CalculateSteering()
    {
        if (steerLeft)
        {
            steeringAcceleration -= Time.fixedDeltaTime;
            if (steeringAcceleration < -steeringTime)
                steeringAcceleration = -steeringTime;
        }

        if (steerRight)
        {
            steeringAcceleration += Time.fixedDeltaTime;
            if (steeringAcceleration > steeringTime)
                steeringAcceleration = steeringTime;
        }

        if (!steerLeft && !steerRight)
        {
            if (steeringAcceleration > 0)
            {
                steeringAcceleration -= Time.fixedDeltaTime;
                if (steeringAcceleration < 0)
                    steeringAcceleration = 0f;
            }
            else
            {
                steeringAcceleration += Time.fixedDeltaTime;
                if (steeringAcceleration > 0)
                    steeringAcceleration = 0f;
            }
        }

        float steering = Mathf.Lerp(0, maxSteering, Mathf.Abs(steeringAcceleration) / steeringTime);
        rb.AddRelativeTorque(new Vector3(0f, steering * Mathf.Sign(steeringAcceleration), 0f), ForceMode.Acceleration);
    }

@deft plank The ship will never turn left

Not sure if there is a better way to do this to avoid all the IFs

[deft plank]

make steering negative if you want it to turn left

Ok, let me try

This one is tricky
