Discription:

This is a futuristic aircatdesign.
A lot of the implemented features are possible by heavy use of the funky trees input.
Thanks for the tutorial by SnoWFLakE0s.
The aircraft is powered by a futuristic "rotating detonating plasma engine", or something similar fancy.
The rotating plasma looks cool, best during the nighttime hours, and the speed of rotation varies by your throttle input.
It's equipped with all the weaponpower you need.
The smooth design took some effort to achive.
The flightcontrolinputs are limited by your curent speed.
The pitchmomentum due to different flightspeed is canceled out.
These combined features give you good flightbehavior within the speedrange.

weapons:
10 shortrange air to air
10 longrange air to air
10 air to ground
2 mainguns
3 autoaimguns

Controls:

All regular flightcontrols are untouched:
throttle
roll
pitch
fireguns
fireweapons
behave like you know and like it.

AG1
gives you control of the autuaimguns
the selected target is within the gunreticle
fire guns will destroy it
blue tracers mark the flightpath of the bullets
effective below 2 miles distance
very effective against airplanes
not as effective against groundvehicles
i couldn't fix it
maybe someone else can

AG2
gives you control of the 2 mainguns
fireing straight ahead
red tracers
nice "mandala-pattern" in the spreedbehavior

Funky Tree:

The engine:
it's a modified sin-function of time
visualized with beaconlights

flightcontrols:
every flightcontrol is multiplied with a factor related to your curent flightspeed

autoaimgun:

its combination of rotators
RollAngle
PitchAngle
Heading
TargetHeading
TargetElevation

Enjoy

    @MrCOPTY Thats true, but i avoided complicated trigonometric functions by using 5. The improved version includes bulletspeed and ratio of TargetHeading and TargetElevation. Much more acurate. Maybe i will figure out how to do it with two on my next build.
