Quick Answers
Vehicles FAQ
What is Ackermann steering in Plane Crazy?
Ackermann steering angles the tie rod behind the front pivot toward the rear center so the inside wheel turns sharper than the outside wheel on bends. Read the guide
Why do trains derail on corners in Plane Crazy?
Trains derail if they lack downward horizontal cylinders hugging the inside rails or if bogies are welded rigidly instead of pivoting on unpowered motors. Read the guide
Why do custom piston engines lock up in Plane Crazy?
Leaving the legacy physics mode toggle switched on locks the crank assembly, requiring builders to turn legacy mode off for the stroke to cycle. Read the guide
