Skyblades Quadcopter Blades

keen's new flat thrusters are very cool, but this mod's selection still stands out as unique. This mod has definitely NOT been made redundant by 1.203 :)
maybe you could nick some of those high res assets to give your blades a lick of paint ;)
keep up the great work.

yeh it is because of this but then this give people indication that there grid doesn't have enough thrusters, also since then i increased the thruster values fron 35kN per thruster to now 100kN per 1x1 thruster, this should already negate the previous issue now anyway.
i anted to keep the x3 slowdown because people could use them as "air brakes" when there ships are loaded with cargo.

Hi Skyblade, I finally figured out the issue I was describing below from back in May. There is a disconnect in the threshold between when gravity SHOULD overcome your thrusters and when it ACTUALLY does.

For example, on the Earthlike planet, a single 1x1 quadcopter thruster is capable of lifting a grid that weighs less than ~9200kg. Adding more weight to the grid means it SHOULD overcome the thruster's ability to hover and cause the grid to sink. However, that doesn't happen until the grid weighs over ~27650kg. Pressing the "Thrust Up" button when the grid weighs between 9200kg and 27650kg actually causes the grid to descend, which is the initial odd behaviour I noticed months ago.

I believe this disconnect is caused by the thrusters having 3x the thrust dampening capability of vanilla thrusters (<SlowdownFactor>3</SlowdownFactor> in the.sbc file).

I haven't modified your mod to test this hypothesis, but given that 9200x3=27650, I think it's a pretty reasonable bet.

are the not just fans?

holy canoli, congrats on having your mod integrated into the base game on Thursday!!! the teaser image is pretty obvious! Amazing!

@Skyblade - I will. Thanks a a ton!

@SIV sure just be sure to make the mod private/unlisted cheers

Hey Skyblade, thank you for making this. May I make a private reupload of this for a tiny private server? I am making sure everyone gets proper attribution, of course. Thank you!

@Perp i have just spawned the eathlike Respawn pod and it weighs 10,000kg which is less than a quarter of the weight of the grid you have so to be equivalent that would be 1 vanilla thruster and the vanilla thruster wont lift the weight.
i wanted the thrusters to be almost equivalent to vanilla thrusters in power ( the difference is that you can put 1x1 in more places as oppose to 3x1). you simply dont have enough thrust for the output of the thrusters try adding more.

@Perp, 12 1x1 thrusters is equivalent to 4 small atmo thrusters (35kN per 1x1 thruster SG and vanilla is 3x1 @ 96kN per thruster which is 32kN per 1x1 equivalent )
12 small block thrusters may not be enough to lift that mass. what planet are you on? are all 12 thrusters in one direction? i.e pointing down? If you have a blueprint you could send me it and ill take a look?
