Future Developments

Potential new parts / mechanics:

More Wheels

• Dual-wheel styled 'truck' tires. Perhaps both single and dual wheel-collider variants.
• Pre-rigged solid-axle suspension setup
  • Uses two wheel colliders, one for each side.
  • Uses constraints to align the axle to the current layout of the wheels

Landing Legs

• Single, dual, and quad landing-leg sets
  • Multiple variants.
  • All scalable
  • Dual varieties are for VTOL landing of horizontal rocket stacks (legs protrude 'sideways' from the rocket when in vertical orientation)
  • Quad varieties are for standard vertical landing, intended to be stack mounted to the bottom of a fuel tank inbetween the tank and the engine.
    • Will include both the ability to alter the scale, and the 'diameter' placement of the models.

ICE engine parts and ICE motor model

• Essentially these are APUs that put out EC based on their size. Consume LF + (O or IntakeAir) (dual-mode).
• Add a secondary motor-simulation-model that uses output curves appropriate for a combustion engine, usable/enabled when one of the ICE-APUs are present on the craft.

Hovercraft / Ground-Effect flyers

• Set of fan/turbine/rotors intended for use for hover-craft.
• Will include 'ground effect' mechanics -- whenever the engine is within a certain distance of the ground (based on its size and base power), it will gain 'bonus' power output based on this distance, to simulate ground-effect feedback.
• Potential set of hovercraft skirt parts.
  • Possibly with some sort of inflate/deflate/compress mechanics or rigging.
  • Might use custom plugin to drive animation based on distance from ground and presence of motors and their state.
  • How to keep skirt pieces in synch with each other?

Rotary aircraft parts

• Set(s) of primary rotor blades with both thrust and torque output.
  • Scalable. Same rotor sets can be used for both primary and secondary rotors.
  • Allow for co-axial counter-rotating setups to neutralize rotor torque output.
  • Full collective pitch simulation? --
  • Method to link output on both main and secondary rotors for a synchronized rotor setup (e.g. shaft-driven tail rotor)

Standard aircraft propellers

• Uhh, yeah, pretty much what the title says
• But also some will have additional built-in features, such as changing of orientation / rotating - for either thrust vectoring, or use in hybrids (e.g. osprey)
• Scalable

Folding Wings

• Stowable, foldable, deployable, scalable.
