Strange noice in fuel injectors

Post by Ark »

There is a strange noise if you press I key (fuel injectors) more than 2 times. If you press I once and you keep pressing it everything is ok buy if you stop pressing it and you press it again to quickly that strange noise appears until you stop pressing it. The first it I have noticed it that was in 1.72. Test it with and without custom sounds

Do you mean a pulsing noise, like the injectors cycling between low and full power?

I get that too, but *I think* there may be a little bug there.
When it happens you actually go faster as it appears the injectors are doing a double injection and thus increasing speed even more. The effect can be seen on the star/dust streaks on the viewscreens.
I haven't actually measured the supposed speed increase or the effect it has on fuel consumption.
