Variable engine output?
Is it possible the vary the output of a MoveS or a Thruster?

As someone who likes to build planes and other flying stuff, the engines (thrusters and MoveS) are very unrealistc. It's just pressing a button to make the engine either stop or go to 100%.
I'd would love if I could vary the outputs, making landings and other possible flying machines possible to build and control.

I've tried to find either guides or workshop creations to see on how they work to no avail. (Although I've found tumayouzi's I-15 Poliparkov has a variable engine output, the way the aircraft was built is rather complex, making any understanding of it's thrusters, MoveS and power in general very difficult.)

By the way, I'm unsure if I should post this here or in general discussions, so I'm just leaving this here. (-_-')

Use Response setting on a Speed type joint and on thrusters.

If I'm not mistaken, this will make your rotators that has action of 20 go 40, then 60 then up to 100 at a slow rate.

Please use the Steam Discussions or join MCN:EN's discord next time, as none seems to be bothered in checking topics from here.

Well if I may have a go at thrusters, you may mount them onto moveS hinges and have the thrusters set so they when set to idle the hinges face the thruster to counter eachother's force, and when holding a key to throttle up, the MoveS hinges rotate the thrusters closer to a 90-degree angle to increase thrust. And vice-versa when throttling down.
