Exactly what um thinking

[Twi]

If you could somehow counteract the torque forces of the propeller, maybe by having another propeller spinning in the opposite direction, it might not spin out like that when you start going forwards?

It doesn't, because the propeller isn't connected to the fuselage like that. Um... how do I explain the physics of this... The rotor is spinning, but it's spinning because of the jets that are on the rotor, not because of anything attached to the fuselage. Since the torque to spin it doesn't come from the fuselage, the fuselage doesn't tend to spin in the opposite direction. Does that make sense?

Try actually angling the engines, instead of just having them sideways, so they provide some lift independent of the wings spinning.

Oh, I have enough lift, I feel. I might do it anyways, but more to see if I can use the gimbal to solve my lack of control.

Also, there seems to be a suspicious lack of struts.
I distrust anything that is not made of at least 20% strutmetal.

There are struts! Connecting the two fuselage sections.

As you may have noticed, it's not enough, it seems.

Then the fuselage should rotate in the same direction of the propeller, due to friction on the joint.

Left to its own devices, it would do so eventually. Fortunately, we have control surfaces and such.

6.20 was a bug fix patch, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

I'm disappointed that Resources won't be making it in the next update, but stability issues were probably more important. I'm a little surprised that they're making mod support such an integral part of early development, but it's still pretty awesome.

Mods make up a large part of the content out there right now. The modpack I'm using is so big it now takes long enough to load the game that I can watch two or three youtube videos before being able to play.

Control surface add drag and lift wich starts to affect the ship once a force big enough is supplied ( speed in this case ). But oh well its a game isnt it?

Holy crap. I hope you have enough RAM for all that stuff.

I really wish they would focus on redoing the aerodynamics, fuck the void its all about the atmo...

My 4gb is woefully inadequate.

Haven't they hired 2-3 of the major mod makers as full time developers as well? That might have something to do with the focus on mod support too.
