Description
Cheap and easy to build flying chair for survival.
Fly with only one engine.
Use helicopter style of movement assisted by script.
Use remote control to fly it.

Commands:
1) toggleMoveForward
2) togglePreciseMode
3) toggleGyroControl
4) toggleHoverMode

Script features:
1) Auto-hover:
-Set vertical speed to 0
-Control pitch and roll to decrease horizontal velocity and hover in place.
2) Limit pitch and roll to prevent turn over.
3) Limit pitch and roll assuming thrust/weight ratio. So on max allowed pitch or roll vehicle will have enough thrust to keep altitude.
4) On press movement key (WASD) vehicle lean towards this direction and start move
5) Control thrust to keep altitude. When pitch or roll are not 0 - script increase thrust assuming this angle to keep altitude.



I named if "Dullahan" because some bug rip off head of engineer that ride it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dullahan
The Dullahan (/ˈduːləˌhɑːn/) is a headless rider, usually on a black horse who carries his or her own head under one arm. Usually, the Dullahan is male, but there are some female versions. The mouth is usually in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. Its eyes are constantly moving about and can see across the countryside even during the darkest nights. The flesh of the head is said to have the color and consistency of moldy cheese. The Dullahan uses the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and its wagon is adorned with funeral objects (e.g., candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, the wagon's covering made from a worm-chewed pall or dried human skin). When the Dullahan stops riding, that is where a person is due to die. The Dullahan calls out the person's name, at which point the person immediately perishes.

The big problem was without hover mode on, and touching no keys, the thruster would produce full thrust, raising the ship into the atmosphere. It was possible to reach the ground with C, F, or Y, but the force required is unmanageable without damage.

After doing some more testing on my side, it appears to be the old bug with DS where ships drift upwards in gravity, as restarting the server fixed it. Unfortunately this happens often and there's no way to tell it will happen until already flying.

So not really your problem, but a command to force a slow landing would be very helpful.

In either case, thank you for your response.

You might expect that jetseat should shut down engines when you touch ground. But script dont know - are you going to land or have you touched ground accidentally.
If you need to shut down engines - press F to "exit" from remote control. Then press F to get out.

This is pretty cooll but how do you land? If you disable Hover you just float upwards forever - other modes fight you with 'c'

@andymcneil204 in this case miniguns will be useless. Script control pitch and roll to controll movement. Therefore most of the time miniguns will be aligned to horizon.

you could fit a gatling gun on this
