Crazy acceleration

Hey!

anyone know why sometimes in a new ship with a new thruser you use engine kill and it accelerates really realy fast?

and how to fix this wee problem,
thanks

Yep, the problem is that you've assigned multiple engines in goods.ini. When you assign more than 1 engine, engine kill will cause your ship to accelerate until you hit max speed. You don't need 2 engines, just assign one, and in shiparch.ini edit your max_exhaust_nozzles line to however many engines you had on it.

i added a new thruster (HpThruster02) to the cmp, will this have an effect,

Thanks ill look into the 2 engine thing.

@ Trail

Never come across thrusters, no matter how many you put on causing this problem, it's simply down to making sure as already stated that you only have 1 engine defined in GOODS.ini. Having said that, for an admin ship it's not a bad idea, saves using a speed mod and the more engines you mount, the faster you go using engine kill.

No, multiple Thrusters can do this too. Both of them act the same way- Max_force is being applied against the ship's Linear_Drag, and anything less than one (in this case, it'd be 0.5) causes problems with the FL physics engine. If you want multiple Thrusters... I have a solution coming in Toolkit 1.3.

I sit corrected

Can Linear Drag go above 1?

i changed it to 2 for one ship because i figured (common sense really) that it could be a problem with linear drag but i duno what line contributes to wards it.

I copy and pasted the code to adv. thruster and edit ed nick and speed i think.

meh!
