J20 Juno basic jet engine provides no thrust.
Title says it all really. I have 2 J20 engines mounted on a small plane, mounted on the end of 2 Mk 0 fuel tanks with intakes on the front, each mounted on the side of Mk 1 fuel tank with cockpit and tail sections attached. After about 5 minutes from starting the engines I was up to nearly 3 m/s. Why such tiny thrust from these engines now? Is this a bug or are they only supposed to be used for slow moving ground vehicles now? Never had a problem with them before latest update.

Lemme make a wild guess;

You put a part, most likely a control surface behind the engines?

It's blocking the thrust.

Wings block thrust? That seems wrong but ok I'll check and see what happens.

Anything behind the engine blocks thrust unless it's far enough away.

Pictures are worth 1000 words when it comes to these issues also, for future reference.

Ok so tilting tail wings one click solved it. Wings block thrust. Who'd have thought it.

Common sense?

Have you ever seen a real jet obstruct it's engine exhaust with anything?

In real life it would only block a portion of thrust, not all; granted. Still a terrible idea though for a lot of reasons.

Hmm..I'd say "re-direct" more so than obstruct, but good point lol!
