#Asymmetric Thrust

Basically, if an engine blows up, gets turned off, etc, the plane starts to yaw towards the dead engine. On twin engine planes this would be enough that (at full throttle) max opposing rudder would be just barely be enough to hold the aircraft steady. At low thrust it wouldn’t matter, and on planes with close together engines (F/A-18, F-5, etc.) it would have a reduced effect.
I dunno if this is infeasible with the physics engine but it would be cool, and make engine failures more serious.

Interesting mechanic tbh

Watch someone fly at a 90 degree angle or upside down

Wait a second

#

Does this count as a failure?

It’s a suggestion for something that happens AFTER the failure

#

This happens IRL too

it stalled flew a full out 180 degree up

Wait I fogor to translate

@runic tendon did you try to tell me something

#

But made a mistake? reallybruh

#

nvm it flew like a 180 degree curve or sum and the pilot was apparently unconscious

Problem with applying opposite rudder through keyboard is that it's either 0 or 100

#

Not the same as using pedals or a joystick

Typo

#

this suggestion is about aircraft changing its direction during an engine failure

#

Yes I understand

#

What's the problem?

there's that PAL flight that had a bomb strapped to it

#

it knocked out the rudders

#

and the pilots were able to land using asymmetric thrust
