Happy Holidays everyone,
I've just released another update, with a bunch of new parts!
Clutches
These attach two axles together, one with a fixed attachment, the other with a rotary bearing. The clutch can be engaged / disengaged with a key press, which will smoothly lock / unlock the rotary bearing.
Clutch Gears
These are a type of spur gear that attach to an axle with a rotary bearing only. Similar to regular clutches, they can be engaged / disengaged from the axle they're attached to.
Brakes
Wheels already have built in brakes that you can optionally enable, but these separate brake parts allow you to brake an axle without needing to use a wheel. The brakes attach to an axle with a rotary bearing, and to the part you want to brake against (e.g. a beam) with a fixed attachment.
Angle Sensor
You can attach an axle to this sensor, and link a display to it. It'll show the axle's current relative angle, RPM, etc.
There are a few other tweaks and improvements too, here are the release notes:-
- New parts:-
- Angle sensor.
- Clutches x3 and x4.
- Clutch gears x1 to x3.
- 32T and 48T Hi & Lo bevel gears.
- Disk brakes x3 and x4.
- Added brake calipers to wheel brakes.
- Added setting to speed / altitude sensor to use imperial units.
- Parts and materials are now listed in order in UI.
- Bug fixes.
