Drishboo2 Jul 17, 2024 @ 9:24am 
total design flaw but otherwise its awesome and the flaw is no heaters bc i froze to death

Really good, i use in meir and added container capabilities, lets just say i can now airdrop drill containers and come back later for profit :] (Really good work!!!)

For anybody struggling with the "When i winch myself up i fall through the hatch" issue, the button setup is very straight forward so me, a noob at making stuff, was able to just move the button so i could press it and not fall through, If anybody want to you just have to hook the data to the "Door winch" and somthing else data node and connect the buttons electricity to the door and the battery, once i did this and tinkerd a little this little thing is amazing

wait it is electric XD

where refuel

same thing @Aiwha

LOVE this thing. One minor problem I have though is if I want to winch rescue people solo, there's no way for me to easily close the floordoor when I'm in the harness. If I get out of the harness, I fall straight through the open hole. :(
Thelolcommander Feb 14, 2023 @ 5:33am 
how do u refuel it?
hamster Sep 24, 2022 @ 1:32am 
i dont get it but i love it
resident eeper Aug 24, 2022 @ 12:57pm 
One more thing I have been thinking about. I love the design of the vehicle - could you make a more expensive version for later on in the campaign? I would love to keep using this beyond the first batch of missions
resident eeper Aug 23, 2022 @ 5:43pm 
Legitimately the best vehicle for the start of Career mode. The autopilot lets you relax while flying the 34587531287635 km to the destination, It has great capacity, Beds so you can sleep while in the air or landed.

The only con I can believe i found is the flipping when moving down. Dont know why it does that, but I can live with that. Also sometimes the lases sensor dosent work and it hits a wall but that is rare so

9.5/10, best vehicle at a great price

HOW!? WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS!? IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE DUCTED FANS YET IT SOMEHOW STILL FLIES
Flopping Jul 22, 2022 @ 1:56pm 
This thing is the best for starting out in career
Lbebe Jul 10, 2022 @ 3:06pm 
hey man can u help me out on a project cuz i don't now how to do those glitch thingy and the radio thingy if u can help me out send friend request pls

so im trying to make " Veronica " from iron man so i need a compact way to let it be in the sky and launch gps missiles equipped with radar missiles for ground target and if possible air targets too, and the person would be able to set target from a small compact car equipped with the monitor and gps location.

@el burro It's been a while but I remember it having an automatic altitude hold in manual flight mode when you let go of the controls. Under autopilot the altitude cannot be changed in flight

@Pumped sorry about the wheel glitch, it was made in the early days before the wheel glitch was widely used so servers didn't have rules against it. I have made a non-glitch starter vehicle here:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2500067165

@RealityChip I think it has to do with physics detail level in the settings, but I am not totally sure. In any case I recommend using the craft in my reply to Pumped as that one has no glitch and has more features

@Shadow this guy is pretty old so unfortunately I am not gonna update it, an antenna with composite hooked into the flight control microcontroller could do acomplish the remote control feature.
XHU 524 - OFSET 5 Feb 15, 2022 @ 10:26am 
is there an attitude hold and what dos the key pad on the left do?
PumpedGamer92 Jan 25, 2022 @ 11:34pm 
its cool but in a server i found out it uses wheel and gen glitch witch almost got me banned just a tip please state that in the description plz
bug molester Jan 8, 2022 @ 10:33am 
Hey jerryfanfan, whenever I spawn it in in career mode, it keeps tilting forward and backward bc the engines are overcorrecting, is there any fix for this? I tried it without any addons and it still happened.
ZeTurtle Jan 2, 2022 @ 6:15pm 
Is there any way to add the remote control to this for when you get launched off while climbing out of the cabin
Ray Nov 10, 2021 @ 6:21pm 
I love this vehcicle it is so good and awesome please keep making more!!!:steamthumbsup:
MoneyMan Oct 30, 2021 @ 3:54am 
I love this build its so great for beginners I just love it so much thank you for this build jerryfanfan!
3ric2hew Aug 16, 2021 @ 3:28am 
can u make it go faster, its fast but i wanna go faster
VOD Jul 9, 2021 @ 10:10pm 
i love this its so good that i use it for general travel if at all possibly i would love for you to make more stuff with the wheel thing u used in this it would be awsome
emma Jun 21, 2021 @ 8:22am 
is there a way to see all of your creations?
Pop`s Jun 11, 2021 @ 8:39pm 
Ive not been able to use the radio to get it to come to me, it just goes to 0,0 x/y,,,,, BUT ive had weeks of fun doing missions, its a fantastic creation, defo one of my favourites
Gaming for Dumies May 24, 2021 @ 10:18am 
super good little vtol. great for MP and just small rescue missions
jerryfanfan  [author] May 21, 2021 @ 8:22pm 
sorry for the late reply it is still working for me, try turning the engines on and off.
flozo the example for how this is built is in one of the links.
ME6A PL1ER May 8, 2021 @ 3:17pm 
HOW THE HECK DID YOU MAKE THIS
MJY Mar 14, 2021 @ 4:12pm 
not sure if the last update broke it, but i could not lift off in the career mode
MJY Mar 11, 2021 @ 12:19pm 
a winch in the middle would of been so nice with 3 attachements, maybe not strong enough to use it to use it as a small crane, as my hovercraft flip and had to rescue it
jerryfanfan  [author] Mar 8, 2021 @ 7:13pm 
Sup sup, glad you guys like it.

There actually is a cargo carrier that flies like this, made by somoen else ;)
MJY Mar 8, 2021 @ 12:43pm 
oh by the way, were missing a cargo carrier with this style of flying
MJY Mar 8, 2021 @ 12:38pm 
yes that is a amazing flying machine, handles so great u feel like its a cheat compared to some other vehicles lol, ty will use this, work so great that u could slap a star trek skin on it, wish there was one that was working
Josef Feb 23, 2021 @ 7:44pm 
This thing is awesome. It's like magic. Only challenge I've had is the occasional freakout when transitioning to forward flight in high-ish winds. Made some slight additions (I am an idiot when trying to find beacons) - I still don't get the "I don't need fuel forever" aspect of this, so will read your link. I imagine it is the magic tire in the back hatch, :) Agree about the side door, I've flipped it and burned to death futilely trying to jump out the (now) top hatch. Also, having fallen into an angry sea while trying to get back out of the harness, I will need probably to figure out how that is done correctly. Well done, and thanks for my go-to air vehicle.
jerryfanfan  [author] Feb 18, 2021 @ 5:04am 
Sorry for the late reply, in the microcontroller at the back called "Tilting Impulse Controls" or something. there should be a slider called "Horizontal Thrust Limit" or something, it would reduce both the maximum manual and autopiloting speed.

Also, there should be a "Horizontal Thrust Ratio" output in the autopilot micocontroller that is near the middle under the beds, put a clamp on this one would only reduce the autopilot speed.
Brotato Feb 11, 2021 @ 6:51am 
Yeah I always have them seated. After a bit at high speeds they start rubberbanding and that is when the game physics start freaking out. I am also going to fiddle with it to see if I can way to throttle the speed.
mcHAMR Feb 9, 2021 @ 8:50pm 
oh thank you for that there was a storm when i was flying
jerryfanfan  [author] Feb 9, 2021 @ 8:00pm 
@Bigmac will take a while for me to get around to it. A stop gap solution might be to put NPCs in seats, or is it still happening to seated NPCs?

@mcHAMR the propulsion can get destroyed in singleplayer from lightning strikes if it flies through the highest grade rainstorms, or due to multiplayer lag.
Brotato Feb 5, 2021 @ 4:29pm 
Hey so really happy to see this is still getting updated and improved, the rescue winch especially awesome. I was wondering if there can be a way to limit the speed of auto pilot? I ask because when transporting npc characters, high speeds run the risk of them glitching out and causing damage to themselves and everything around them. Flying manually at a slower speed doesn't have this issue. Sadly this seems to be a problem with the game engine, other creations I've seen this happen with as well.
mcHAMR Feb 3, 2021 @ 6:59pm 
i have another problem so the impuls engines just sorta explode mid flight when there are pasengers and i dont know why wether it is the game or the creation
SinisterDad Jan 28, 2021 @ 1:11am 
This. Is. Brilliant.
Evasive autopilot n'all, damn fine job.
jerryfanfan  [author] Jan 25, 2021 @ 2:52am 
@midas, does it fly super high before your modifications? ie, if you spawn a fresh vehicle from the workshop does it still go super high?
Knowing this would help me pinpoint the problem. Also if you upload your modified version I'll take a look and see if I can fix it.

@Chickenyed, not sure what is happening. Did you press the arrow buttons on the instrument panel to turn on the engines? I just did a test: https://youtu.be/ZRcZknQXbso
tS Jan 24, 2021 @ 1:10pm 
in the water it doesnt go out of it, it only goes out if i fly using horizontal thrust. i am using the arrow keys to try to go up
MoneyMan Jan 23, 2021 @ 7:28pm 
so:steamthumbsup: can you make a new feature that flips the shuttle please BC i flipped and im stuck or at least make a side door
Midas Jan 23, 2021 @ 12:36pm 
jerryfanfan i have spawned in the ship many times and it almost always goes up super high when i auto pilot it, i haven't really done any modifications except adding a waypoint preset system and parking break (i wanted to reset the hor speed lever to zero at first but i am a noob so i made it constant value 0 inbetween, as the buttons sometimes dont let you zero it easily, often a fraction 0.1/-0.1 left), but it was doing this before i did any modifications either
