Need help with jet engine stuff

How do i set a limit rpms for jet engines so it dosnt over heat?

same problem here, jet engine has a hard time to get up to speed, and all of a sudden throttles up to 200 rpm. Throttleling down even a bit and RPS fall again, but far too low.
By the way, i try building a jet powered heli, without the "exhaust" nozzle ( want it to turn the propeller, not push the whole heli), pressure builds up in the combustion chamber, reaching 500 000. Any way to avoid that?

Have you looked at the example jet in the game? I was having the same problems, so I looked at the example, and there is a 3 input function logic block which is essentially used to govern the throttle input dependant on the RPS of the jet? It helps massively with the overheating part. However, I do agree that the turbines seem to spend far too long "spooling up" and then when you knock the throttle off, it is instant. I tested a jet powered (large) boat using 8 jets. Using afterburner I can hit a speed of 31 (metres per second?) very quickly (insane thrust) , however the second I throttle off, the boat stops dead in the water.
Also, if I decide to crash the boat into a roack or beach it, it turns into a huge rocket and tries to fly. Despite the ship being as big as you can possibly build at the creative base too! Something tells me there is much balancing to be done yet with the jet engines.
And regarding the over pressure, (Dominatrix) > I have yet to try that, but it was going to be my next experiment. I already have generators hooked up to them, so was wondering how good they'd be at driving props. Does placing a "duct" where the exhaust should be not do anything?

Solved, i used a PID to take care of the throttle, i just input the target RPS. Solves the pressure problem too.
Now i have to find a way to use the fan for my yaw control ^^.
-> HoboCop : you can achieve 30 m/s with propellers too, and very quickly, but boat wants to fly away most of the time

Dominatrix -> Ye, I've achieved 30+ speeds with props before, but as jets were new that day I had an itch to use them for something stupid :D

Make a slade glider like in ricent Star Wors ;)

I really have a problem with my jet engines. They Both work probatly but as soon as they are turned on they will keep increasing speed until they explode. I do have a PID controller but they still blow up every time i start my plane

Fixed it
