#READ THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPTIMAL FLIGHT

ORNITHOPTER

Ornithopters, also commonly referred to as Thopters, were the most common small transport vessels in the Imperium. They are very versatile and are mostly operated in planetary atmospheres. Their uses varied from human transport between cities and continents to light cargo transport across long distances.

Thopters were often used for military purposes and equipped with weaponry. Usually these weapons were lasguns, but they could also carry small missiles and repeating maula pistols. With the exception of the planet Arrakis, and for heavier cargo transportation, most ornithopters were equipped with shields.

ISTRUCTIONS

For the craft to work properly, you must:
- Set physics update frequency to ultra.
- The less FPS spike reduction the more the total lift/thrust generated but the more performance is required.
- FPS count has to be smooth enough or the physics simulation won't work as intended.

    @PlanetFloof AG4 + throttle(slowly increase or it can clip to ground). frame rate and physics quality can also affect flight. Do tell if you still can't

    How do you get it to go up? it never produces enough thrust for me

    I believe thopters are a separate, smaller craft, right?
