you will need glitches to reach rps that high though. it's what the
flywheel-gearbox loops on either side of the cockpit is for.
you also need to limit the water flow to the jets with variable valves, or it will use up all the water instantly.

Codename_Jaguar, it worksby spinning the jets so fast that they produce thrust without using any water. well, it's technically still using water, just so little that stormworks doesn't bother counting it.

Hey man, genuinely how does this fluid jet system work because I'm trying something similar for one of my spacecraft builds but I just cannot find anything online as to how it actually produces thrust

how do i make the VTOL turn on i was pressing 2 like the game said

@Vya3x The main version will probably take another year at least. There is a lot of LUA that has to be made by Den's friend who is at college if I remember and it takes a while to program so much. There are also issues with the game updates causing things to function wrong or not at all. So with the in game issues and real life, it takes a while.

When do you think the main version of the taipan will release Den?

Welcome back Den!

wilso85, you can upload your modules, but not the entire Taipan

I would absolutely love to make custom modules and I would give you credit ofc.

@Den Shamanoff, can I make custom module for this and repuload this?

yo man, I really want to get into making space crafts akin to those from elite dangerous, start citizen, the expanse, etc and I would really love to know how you made these things fly the way they do. Any chance you could give me any tips?
I'd be insanely grateful

Sure, go ahead

@Den Shamanoff, I was wondering if I could use your Vec3 and physics sensor rotation code in a creation of mine, I will give credit on the WS page and in the MC ofc.

Considering how adamant the devs are to make the game not stable, i guess i can expect gta 6 before the full package lol

Tikvaaa, use the newest version from the workshop, if it won’t work try to sign out and sign in again. GL

hmm, it works for me...

yea i tried that, it didnt do nth tho. it was on by default and turning it off didnt work, turning it off and on didnt work...it wont takeoff

Look at the start key for a while, it will open and you can fly just as normal when you press it.

i stopped playing stormworks awhile back and now im back and when i spawn this thing theres no way of making it leave the ground. i have no memory of how to use it but the description makes it seem like its just prefired up when it spawns, but im just sitting on the ground and none of the keys are doing anything.

@TheMeatBeater (weird name) Den and his team are taking a break from creating until the game is stable and also, I dont know if you know this, they do have lives that can get busy.

Hate to say it, but it's been almost a year since this released, can we get a progress update on the full ship?

Very good creation but the most amazing thing for me is how well the artificial horizon works.

i somehow am hovering on the seabed

we gotta have armed one

Oh, if that is the case then I wish him the best of luck in the future and hope all goes well for him.

Well Actually Den might quit stormworks since new updates theres always new annoying bugs

We do not know. Den has a lot on his plate in the real world right now so it will take a while.

when will the armed military version will be out

For some reason the water jets just started up when I was in the air.
I was like 100m up.

He is working on it.

can u make it work in space?

What vehicle?

whats that vehicle that is behind you

you can hold the locked button for a couple seconds, then it opens and you can press it

How do you start this thing/ unlock start button

It's all about the Pegasus controller. It can be applied to any omnidirectional engines such as water jets, propellers, fans, water jets. And in the case of water jets, you can save fuel by shooting several water molecules at near-light speed. And until the latest update these were the quietest and most invisible engines - pure Sci-Fi ;)

how is this thing actually powered??? i know it's using fluid jets but those spin up to INSANE rps like what the heck??? what kind of sorcery is happening here

up to you

Oh, not disputing it flies, but the water thing is a deal breaker for me and constitutes 100% broken. I had my own shop, a star wars A wing that is now also broken because of it.

Btw you need to adapt the taipen to use the astro sensor to be able to operate in space.

I will admit the flight dynamics are the best I've seen to date

Don’t be a drama queen, 100% XD
The flight system is now working perfectly again. The only inconvenience that appeared after the last update is unnecessary visualization of water. But this is purely cosmetic, Taipan still flies better than anything in the Workshop. Maybe in time the developers will remove this "beauty"

100% broken now with the new update. Water trails everywhere

Ok. Thanks for telling me this.

Because it's Stormworks XD
However, on a more serious note, we can't constantly rework our crafts and address every issue caused by the developers every week. I anticipate there will be many more updates ahead, as a majority of the new mechanics aren't functioning as intended. Therefore, we've made the decision to take a break until the developers stabilize the game. I can't accurately predict how long this hiatus will last; it could be a month, or possibly longer.
So, we'll catch up with you all later, folks!

It's so weird, and i don't know why is it

Why is water spilling out of the Taipan??

It will, need more time

i'm aware about cruise mode and the various other modes as i fly both craft regularly.
i was curious about how the craft would manoeuvre in space (i'm not even sure how it does it in atmo, i heard something about water jets?)

If Decoupled mode is on in space, will it conserve fuel?

read about Cruise Mode in the description

how do you plan on having it be able to travel in space and to the moon under its own power?
does autopilot fit into the philosophy of Taipan as a whole or is this purely a hand-fly only type of craft? i'm interested
