Description:

This is a microcontroller that can run any modular engine, as long as you provide a air connection, fuel connection and a sufficient exhaust output.

Features
  • Automatic starters
  • Automated RPS Control
  • Dynamic Air/Fuel ratio
  • Can handle sudden changes in air intake pressure
  • Temperature safety throttle decrease
  • Option for generator mode while at idle RPS
  • Optimal for any type of vehicle [Air/Sea/Land]
  • Fully configurable
Installation
  • Connect all the logic nodes.
  • Open the properties panel and change the cylinder count.
  • If you have generator mode enabled, after the modular clutch you need other 2 conventional clutches, one going to your drivetrain and the other going to a generator. In this case also provide a constant 1 number to the modular clutch.
  • Enjoy.
Usage
  • Turn on with a toggle button or a key switch
  • Operate with a throttle lever set 0 – 1

Tips
  • 3×3 size modular engines are usually best even considered their volume and weight.
  • Cooling is very hard to achieve, I suggest using impeller pumps powered by the engine itself.
  • Make sure coolant is flowing into A port of the cooling manifold and not flowing the other way around.
  • Have the same amount of fuel and air manifolds.
  • Make sure you have enough exhaust manifolds so that even when running at full power the cylinders display "100% exhaust".
