the egine over heats too much

My engine caught on fire then exploded

will we get a remake of the chopper? i think it broke again because the fire. I am new to stormworks and i dont know if i just suck or what but i cant get any engines too cool on my creations. anyone know whats up?

I have been using the Gatty with no issues for a week or so, but since this morning it catches fire on its bottom short after taking off...

Does this heli have advanced vehicles enabled?

XD

Good news! Im just stupid!

Oh and the small battery wasn't plugged into the battery charge dial.

Its uh, not starting. Hopefully Im just not doing something right.

This is nuts. I tried various configurations of radiators and heat sinks. No luck. Then I build a small container with a water-fluid-spawner, an inlet and outlet and now the engine stays cool. Stormworks physics is funky!
The Gatty works for now, but I expect that she'll break again once SW patches up the fluid dynamics.
The main issue with this helicopter is that I built everything to be small - there's no unused space in the back of the heli, and therefore the options are somewhat limited. Let's see how long she'll fly in this configuration and if a future update breaks her again I will probably just re-design her from scratch.

As always, please let me know if it works for you and let me know if you run into any issues!

maybe replace the engine, and make sure there is fluid inside the heatsink,

I put in two of those, replacing the heat sink. No luck, engine still ran too hot.

I think you just need a radiator.

@Moon Truther thanks for letting me know! The latest SW update made things more complicated... I tried to resolve this issue by adding coolers and further limiting the RPM of the engine, but no luck so far. Does anyone have a good idea how to make the Gatty work again?

It catches on fire all the time.

Great, I made it！

Yeah, I caught it mid update i think.

@Lego_Teh_Eggo try again, I just updated it!

Ignore my previous comment. I think steam was just having issues.

@野良ねこ it is more time consuming than it should be, but I think it makes you creation stand out on the workshop. You need to use steamcmd, find all the relevant IDs, write a script...
For anyone else who wants to put images in the description: upload your pictures somewhere (I use imgur.com) and get the "direct link". In your description use [img]<direct link to the image>[/img]

Vitus! What happened to your sweet ship?

Oh I figured out myself, thank you! Love your creation!

And... how to add picture in the main paragraph, like you did in MSV Post.
Thanks.

Thank you. That is sooooo helpful!

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1672829189 look at this guide and u will understand how this works

How do you add picture into the vehicle description?

F for our friend @Darth Donkey Donut who seem to be having a stroke :D

eeeeEeeeEEEEeeeEeeeeEeEEeeeeeee

sadly none that i've found so far. im currently working on getting a few bugged saves plus some logs and some veicles that are more likely to freeze. then im gonna submit a bug report

@x170doom aaaah yes, that seem to happen more and more frequently to me. Is there a remedy for when you get stuck, other than restarting the game?

yeah. stormworks seems to be switching physics off on some vehicles. don't know why yet bu make sure you don't touch the vehicle when it freezes. you can tell since boats won't rock. if you touch a frozen vehicle it will cause you to freeze as well (controll inputs are ignored) seems to be more frequent with larger vehicles

@Krizzy WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING AT ME?

I think this is a SW bug I ran into a couple of times as well. Just reload the helicopter, it should work fine the second time.

IT DOESNT MOVE
