But the 25000 body force is not enough to lift it.


What can i use to lift it, and then keep it at a speed of 25k SPS?

You could also use a VehicleSeat to decrease/increase the velocity.

The body velocity worked great.

There's a difference between BodyVelocity and BodyForce, BodyVelocity moves no matter how big the object easy while BodyForce moves objects depending on how big they are.

Sort of.

Think of BodyVelocity as a smart BodyForce, where the force is only applied if the object needs to accelerate.

Smart BodyForce? Lolno. Velocity is how fast the object goes.

Velocity means speed


Force means strength and speed combined.

Yes, but things can't accelerate unless a force is applied to them, and they can't achieve the correct velocity unless they are accelerated to that velocity.

Try this out:
Put a 1x1x1 cube in your place, put a BodyVelocity in it with a y speed of 10 and a y maxForce of 200. You'll see it slowly accelerate to 10 studs per second.
