Symmetrical turbojet engine flame out


Recommended Posts

I am wondering if anybody has managed to replicate this phenomenon when using 2 or more turbojet engines where the engines would flame out symmetrically, i.e. both engines would output the same thrust when deprived of air. (All stock parts).

I managed to get this one plane to do it but I have no idea how I managed it. As you can see, the intake air required is about 9 times more than provided, but both engines are still giving out the same thrust with maximum throttle.

Whenever I try to create a new plane from scratch, I can never replicate this phenomenon. I can maybe retain full throttle on the new plane until I have 90% of the air required before going into a flat spin. Unlike this particular plane which can retain full throttle until 10% of air required.

I assume it is something to do with the construction but I cannot pinpoint exactly how to replicate this.

Recent thread about how intake air is allocated.

I think you fortuitously placed your engines and intakes in such a way that the engines have an equal number of intakes between them in the .craft description. Did you build an entire wing/jet engine/intake assembly and then duplicate it using symmetry?

I guess I must've done something right by accident. Looks like that thread has the answers. Gotta love the quirks of KSP. Cheers!
