How to make coaxial propeller for plane?

[Kaffee_und_Teelover]

So I made a plane and I discover that devs added the thing when propeller spins fast the aircraft also spins. So I need to give my plane a coaxial propeller but when I tried it with the rotor light it wouldn't work. Please Help :(

Also the propeller I use has 8 blades and 2 gearbox so I can use the small engine.

The old "aircraft" propeller shouldn't apply any torque if I'm remembering right.

You can also add a contra rotating propeller if you want to use one of the propellers that add torque. One would spin clockwise, the other one counter-clockwise.

If you got an even amount of engines/propellers, adding propellers using mirror mode should have the opposite propellers already spin in the opposite direction.

So there's no way to make a coaxial propeller like the Westland Wyvern unless if I use XML editing?

Also my aircraft is only for a single engine plane sadly

Of course, coaxial means 2 propellers driven from a single engine, similar to your wyvern example. The wyvern has coaxial contra rotating propellers.

One spins clockwise, the other counter-clockwise.

You can flip the spin direction of propellers/screws by pressing U before placing. Similar to cutting it out with the selection tool, pressing U and pasting again.

Hey, I can't really figure out why it doesn't work for me I added 2 rotors with 8 blades going counter and clockwise. Can i send you the vehicle so you can check why? It would be much appreciated.

Sure, just post the link here. You can set it to unlisted, so only folks with the link can download it.

Hey it's been 4 days, any luck on fixing it?

I think I fixed it because somehow when the original roll control surface got broken the plane stopped spinning, so I replaced it and now it's working-ish, I still have to use a second aircraft propeller and I am running into power issues but at least it works, thanks for helping me.
