WARNING: You will need to use high physics settings for this aircraft!
Yeah so, sorry for such late posting, but here is one out of my two "silver special" aircraft! And it's a custom VTOL by my own company: D.A.C (Dynamic Aeronautical Cooperation).
The Comet Darner is D.A.C's first aircraft, and will be hoping to make more soon.
Note: You will NEED the VTOL gyro for any form of VTOL or VSTOL, as the aircraft is quite unstable.
Controls:
Ag1: VTOL gyro
Ag2: Anti-collision lights
Ag3: Navigation lights
Take-off speed: 180mph
Landing / touchdown speed: 165mph
VTOL guide:
Start off by turning on the VTOL gyro, This red button can be located at the top right of the dashboard or you can just turn on Ag1.
You will need over 70% throttle to lift off into the air.
Once you are ready, quickly move the vtol slider upwards to 45°, or halfway up.
When you get to around 150mph, push the vtol slider all the way up to 90°, and turn off the vtol gyro.
Have fun
VTOL landing
I would recommend you use reverse thrust when landing in vtol to slow yourself down, but don't go over 45° as you will start to fall out of the air.
77% throttle is your sweet spot for landing, as you won't come down too fast.
That's all, See ya!

I've now just realised that my showcase images haven't shown up lol
@Whaletail2012 np
@xXLouisPlayzXx Thx
@Whaletail2012 nonono it's completely fine! Things happen in life, hence why I upload weekly now. You can finish it whenever you feel like it. Please no rush ;)
@xXLouisPlayzXx Oh man...
I completely forgot about making aircraft! 😓
So much stuff has been happening lately that simpleplanes has been the last thing on my mind...
I'll finish it as soon as I can.
When's your next plane coming out?? No rush, just curious :))
@Sockdragger Good job on the improvements! I'm definitely going to try to incorporate the airbrakes into my next D.A.C aircraft
I posted a version where I changed the controls to VTOL neutral= nozzles straight back for forward flight, VTOL up= nozzles rotate from full back to full down and a little further to 39° forward for flying backwards/braking. You can find it HERE..feel.free.to lol at it and use what you find useful for your next build. You can even repost the aircraft wholesale as your own. You built most of it after all.
@Sockdragger Thanks for your ratings!
Oh I didn't realise! Whoops... 😅
I'd give it a 10 for looks. Also with some RCN nozzles to the front and the back, you can fly it without gyroscope.
@Whaletail2012 yeah.... It's ok I'll wait 😁
@xXLouisPlayzXx noooooo...
Oh man, sorry
@Whaletail2012 no I can't since I don't play on anything other than mobile 😭
@xXLouisPlayzXx Thanks! Are you going to be trying the simpleplanes 2 playtest?
Yo this is actually fire! I really like this design, keep up the good work!
