Aerodynamics, weights and fuel volumes will be automatically updated when parts are modified.Ĭontrol surfaces can be customized and be bound to different inputs. Parts like engines, rotators, wheels and cannons are also highly customizable, and the player can change the size, power, controls, etc. Custom cockpit instrumentation can be created and made to display flight parameters. Moving parts, such as actuated doors, bomb bays, and custom landing gear can be created with the help of rotators and pistons. The game provides a scripting language called FunkyTrees (FT). An FT script takes player inputs and flight parameters as input, processes them via mathematical and logical functions, and its output is used to control a part, such as setting engine thrust. These can be used to create complex moving parts, autopilot-like features, and much more. Currently, adding FT functions to a craft requires save editing or mods. While building an aircraft, the player must balance lift, thrust, payload, fuel, etc.
They also must be sure the aircraft is stable and balanced, and that exhausting fuel will not change its center of mass so that the aircraft becomes unstable.
