📋 About This Mod
This time, it should work as intended by the original author, Apples1489. That's because a REAL modder fixed what I could not lol! BIG SPECIAL thank you to KeithVsmith1977. I see him helping others in various comments all the time. He fixed this bad boy up. At this point , it should really just be he and Apples' mod, since KeithnVSmith1977 could have fixed the original regardless of what I did. So, in short, voila! You have flawlessly working VTOL engines again!
This mod re-uploads and fixes the Firefly VTOL Engines originally created by Apples1489, now maintained by KeithVsmith1977. It adds VTOL engines to the game, which the author believes should have been in the vanilla version. With 193 endorsements and 8,360 downloads, it's a popular ship part mod for builders.
