Good news, I am working on a better version right now and I already fixed the problem akregon mentioned.

I am working on that problem right now. Be aware that this project is still work in progress. Expect me to be finished in like 10 days or so.
Thx for the feedback ^^

it seems that jest engines are using only up to 20% of their max thrust, i have to exclude most engines on heavier crafts

The tutorial video is not up to date anymore. I am going to recrd a better one soon.

This is a great and easy to set up on your craft!!
Its got my drone flying Perfectly!!

The thrusters are controlled by scaling the "max-power-output". The efficiency scales with that setting. This causes high efficiency at low loads. Adding more thrusters makes your craft more redundant AND more efficient !

VAM_Pyre, 1. I am so happy someone is enjoing my creation! Thank you very much! 2. I expect this code to work as long as they do not remove thrusters or LUA boxes from the game. 3. It would be possible implement non AI PID... I will give it a few days and then try to code what I came up with.

In some of my craft I control Altitude, Pitch and Roll with General Purpose PIDs in order to stop my craft just by setting the AI off, without losing hover capabilities.
Do you think that it's possible to implement such a function? Or am I missing something here?

Hi HelyusHD!

Thanks for the reply. I've been testing your creation (A LOT) :D
It's simply awesome!!! I'm afraid I am literally hooked to it.

I believe I know how to use it properly now. Used it in my bombers and dogfighters, so far it really boosted the craft flying capabilities, AND, much more efficient. Correct me if I'm wrong, by balancing the thrust "as a whole" seems to take a lot of unnecessary load from the engines, making a very efficient use of fuel (?) - In one word sir: Brilliant!
To add to that, it makes life so much easier not to have to think so carefully where to place thrusters, and specially not having to tweak the thrust settings. Resetting a drive to 1 is nothing compared to the art of tweaking a propulsion system, never mind the "Auto-setting" i suggested earlier, I was being too lazy :D

I just hope this mod keeps working regardless of game patches because i intend to use it in all my thrustercraft.
Most amazing mod ever

VAM_Pyre, sadly there is no way to reset all thrusters. I could add a line which will set the resting drive to 1, but thats it.

It does work with propulsion blocks mounted on spinnblocks. Make sure the spinnblock does not rotate to fast.

Well... I consider myself an hovercraft artisan :) it's the only thing i can build right!
It took me a while to figure this mod out, but once i got it working on a design of mine, i was very impressed. Nice creation you got here.
Having a few hundreds of hours on the designer just building hovercrafts, I have to say this caught my attention.
Although it takes some serious PID tweaking and stuff, once it works it's awesome! My hovercrafts started to be more stable when idle, less fuel hungry, and, once you start adding AI behaviours, the manoeuvres in combat are very nice (just tested "aerial bombing yet").

I'll definetly keep testing it out in future designs and hope there are some more improvements on the way.

Remarks:
Can you make a way to reset all the thrusters on the design and set their resting drive to 1, with 1 click?? :)
Does this work wit jets mounted on spinblocks??

Keep up the good work!

I am planing to use some more mathemat... ehem... magic I mean, to solve the equation of thrust, fuel or speed optimised, so you can swich between 2 differen modi. In addition I will try to do some more magic, to make this craft extremly redundant. If there is any way to keep you up in the air, this code would be able to do so! Feel free to motivate me xD

Guess thats true Alpha... thx

Very epic. Deserves more love. You should upload better screenshots that are more eye catching. It's all about that thumbnail.

thx :D

Totally worth it, it helped me out at least!
