it looks like an anus contracting in the thumbnai lol

the power is up but the syndrome is down!

What tode said. Thruster nozzles should expand at power and contract at idle. The principle is that when the power is low, the constricted nozzle cross section keeps the exhaust velocity up even at lower mass flow ("economy mode"). At higher power levels ("afterburner mode"), the nozzle cross section would not need to be restricted for the desired exhaust velocity as there is so much more mass flow available. (In fact, the nozzle petals would erode and burn up from the increased exhaust temperature and heat flow; and the turbine stage would face a similar fate from the back-choke and heat build-up.) So, at least going by how "traditional" turbojet engines work, the animation ought indeed be inverted with regards to power setting.

Thank you!

ok i put it in general chat
Math  [author] 17 Dec, 2023 @ 1:12pm 
Still do send the logs somewhere, that way I can double check
Arroblivion 17 Dec, 2023 @ 10:39am 
Oh and I figured out it's with any Atmo thruster and I think it might be some sort of conflict with another mod but I don't know
Arroblivion 17 Dec, 2023 @ 10:34am 
ok now what??
Math  [author] 17 Dec, 2023 @ 9:45am 
Oh, right there is no discord link on this page, click on the dependencies and go to the Animation Engine page. It has a link there
Arroblivion 16 Dec, 2023 @ 10:57pm 
OK I have the log files where can I send them to you on discord they're not the same as the initial crash but I was able to generally recreate it
Math  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 11:19am 
Could you send over the logs on the discord?
Arroblivion 15 Dec, 2023 @ 9:35pm 
Hey I don't know if you know about this bug already but I figured I'd just let you know but on one of the unknown signals that spawns that has a thruster that goes off whenever you try to get near it anytime I tried to grind it down my game crashes

kean needs to add more animations to its vanilla blocks. i get not having them for stability reasons but the game is getting older and computers are getting stronger. thank you for the awesome mod. makes flying in atmo so much more fun
Math  [author] 22 Apr, 2023 @ 3:32pm 
Thank you for the report, I have found the issue and updated the mod

Shrouds disappear when going into space, and don't even reappear when reentering the atmosphere, only reappears after reloading the savegame. Tested on current version 1.202.068 on a new savegame with only this mod and animation engine activated. It's also strange that no one has noticed or reported this yet, so maybe it's just an issue on my end.

I love this mod, but I have a questions: is it me or the animation seems to be inverted? I expect that the nozzle expands at full thrust and is closed while idling. At least, this is what I understand about physics and I see on Ace Combat.
Matthias R. 11 Mar, 2023 @ 9:04am 
Love this mod its working on my end if its not to much to ask if you could add a animation for the DLC atmo"s Thank you for this mod
Math  [author] 9 Mar, 2023 @ 8:00pm 
Still seems to be working for me, if you have a log file or error message please post it to the discord
tachyon 9 Mar, 2023 @ 7:51pm 
Believe its not working with the latest version of Animation Engine
Khaziir Everflight 23 Feb, 2023 @ 5:57pm 
Doesnt want to work for me. Do I need to put this higher or lower in the mod list than the animation engine mod?
Math  [author] 23 Feb, 2023 @ 10:33am 
From my testing it merely resets the current animation state, by stopping and thrusting again it will continue playing
CANGO 23 Feb, 2023 @ 12:38am 
Vanilla painting and painting gun mod both affect the animation.
Math  [author] 22 Feb, 2023 @ 8:59am 
paint gun as in the paint gun mod?
CANGO 22 Feb, 2023 @ 6:14am 
Hi,dear author, i found a problem, the animation will gone after i use painting gun to paint it, can u fix for us? thanks
Halsgrin 14 Feb, 2023 @ 7:33am 
Thumbnail is a gif. I don't know why gifs do that though.
Orlaco-san 14 Feb, 2023 @ 7:23am 
I won't hear anyone out
Stardust 13 Feb, 2023 @ 2:15pm 
Doesn't fix it for me gruzz, lol
gruzzob 12 Feb, 2023 @ 3:45am 
Oooh, this looks great.
Regarding the thumbnail, it looks fine if you click on it to make it bigger. Likely just a gif scaling issue :(
BinaryKiller Recoded 11 Feb, 2023 @ 11:12pm 
That's epic, what's next on the list?
Dots 11 Feb, 2023 @ 11:08pm 
@Varin - there was no description when i posted my question. thanks. adding it to my game.
Cowjar 11 Feb, 2023 @ 5:38pm 
hear me out
Harukonea 11 Feb, 2023 @ 7:46am 
Hi Math
Happy to see more animations.
One of the flaps of the LargeBlockSmallAtmosphericThrust goes facing outward.
Thanks.
Varin 11 Feb, 2023 @ 5:00am 
@Dots bruh.. did you read description ?
Dots 11 Feb, 2023 @ 2:24am 
wait.. does this apply to dlc variants as well?
Souls 10 Feb, 2023 @ 7:07pm 
Oh man, nice. Would love to see an animation where there is vectoring based on directional input! I know SE thrusters don't have any sort of vectoring at all, I just want to see it.
Archan79 10 Feb, 2023 @ 1:19pm 
@cosmonautical_alex
it will be hard to do. Remember that it is only visual, animation example. Changing thrust vector is VERY hard, as in API there is no direct control over this. There are some trick to use, but this would requiere very finesse coding. Without guarantee that will be stable.
Thrust direction in thrusters is fixed along Block Z axis.
DlriumTrgger 9 Feb, 2023 @ 7:40pm 
almost this could be applied to the hydro atmo thruster mod. be totally cool seeing them throttle open
Rhea.licious 9 Feb, 2023 @ 7:18pm 
It looks like it's gonna kill me in my sleep
Amos Burton 9 Feb, 2023 @ 5:09pm 
YES SIR !!!!!!!! not to make the comments a broken record but hope for the Sci-Fi ones to be added as well!

Stardust 9 Feb, 2023 @ 4:19pm 
Neat, not to make the comments a broken record but hope for the Sci-Fi ones to be added as well! Also the thumbnail looks bad because Steam compresses everything, and badly. :p2cube:
Engineer117 9 Feb, 2023 @ 3:44pm 
Awesome, hopefully we can get the Sci-Fi as well?
Massacror 9 Feb, 2023 @ 12:56pm 
OMFG :steamhappy::steamhappy:
Cosmonautical_Alex 9 Feb, 2023 @ 12:19pm 
This makes me wish thrusters had more defined roles beyond this one being best for space, this one for planets. For example what if atmo thrusters where the only thrusters that had built in reverse thrust at like 20% the forward thrust?
Math  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 11:45am 
Thank you, very insightful

Would love to see this for the Sci-fi Atmo Thrusters. Lots of great animations coming out lately, thank you for your contribution.
Patrick 8 Feb, 2023 @ 10:30pm 
Yes, excellent! More things need to move in the world!
