Incompatibilities:
Currently incompatible with Aerodynamic Physics. This is due to a bug that keen introduced in the latest update (22/04/28). When you fire a projectile while your grid is moving faster than the projectile speed, you run into the projectile, causing a CTD.
If you use Aerodynamics, the calculation for max trajectory is:
The greater of speed limits between small grid and large grid + Vanilla range - 100
The entire range is capped at vanilla range + 1400m
Example Scenario:
Gatling Ammunition max trajectory is 800m. Small grid speed is set to 150m/s, Large grid set to 100m/s. Your max range for Gatling will be:
150m + 800 - 100 = 850m</pre> Example 2
Gatling Ammunition max trajectory is 800m. Small grid speed is set to 2000m/s, Large grid set to 100m/s. Your max range for Gatling will be:
1500 + 800 - 100 = 2200m</pre>
