VT56 Night Attack VTOL

VT56 Night Attack VTOL

My first workshop creation, this VTOL is a fairly capable all-purpose weapons platform with decent endurance and good versatility.

It comes equipped with 10 very agile laser-guided missiles. You can designate a laser point and fire them using the copilot seat.

Startup Procedure:

1. Run starter and enable avionics.
2. Increase throttle (60 RPS for normal flight. May increase to 100 and above in forward flight for extra speed, though it will be bouncy in hover mode.
3. Enable auto-hover.
4. Retract landing gear.

WASD controls VTOL flight mode, with left/right arrow for yaw and up/down for altitude control.
Flight mode toggle button switches to forward flight, ensure you have some forward speed and altitude if you attempt to transition midair. Off-center engines means you must trim out some pitch force, but it flies very well.
Drop tanks are not included in the fuel life timer calculation, but the button to drop them is on the center of the dashboard.

Notes: This VTOL is actually very good at recovering from even the craziest upsets. I have had it recover from going fully upside down several times before. With that said, due to its high-strung flight control, it does not take hits very well. Any major hit to the control module or engines will almost certainly take it into a death spiral. Beyond that, though, it flies very well. It is quite smooth and I am very pleased with the automatic flight control.
