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.

A 1×1 monitor is also avaiable https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974451528.

• Automatic starters
• Automated RPS Control
• Dynamic Air/Fuel ratio
• Can handle sudden changes in air intake pressure
• Temperature safety throttle decrease
• Lightning and EMP safety mode*
• Option for generator mode while at idle RPS
• Optimal for any type of vehicle [Air/Sea/Land]
• Fully configurable

*Lightning and EMP safety prevents the engine to shut down while loosing electricity. This only works if your engine doesn’t rely on electric pumps (use impeller pumps) and will keep your vehicle running only if you are not using electric clutches (use modular engine clutches).

• 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.

• 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".
