Spectre Jumbo II

3,163 Potkuri  4.8 years ago

The Spectre Jumbo II is the latest incarnation in my series of the Spectre aerial gunships. This version includes full interior for both the flight deck and the crew quarters.

The plane was created on mobile so no fancy xml wizardry or the like here, sorry. It’s all organic in that sense. Please take your time to get familiar with the controls to avoid hurting yourself. The ”laser” cannons are from someone else back in the days when there was no bullet spread in SP.

The plane has two independent turrets, one on top of the plane and one inside the weapons bay. The former is intended to be used with aerial targets (both airborne and on the ground) and the latter can be lowered below the plane hull during flight to maximise the targeting angles in all directions (no more shooting yourself in the foot with those rockets).

Operating instructions:

Throttle: takeoff @100%, aerial operations and landing @30-50%.

AG1 - Enable flight controls (roll/pitch). Do this before takeoff. Make sure AG2 is deactivated.

AG8 - landing gear (enabled by default).
AG8/VTOL up - raise landing gear. Do this before enabling AG2 to avoid rolling unintentionally.

AG2 - Enable targeting and autopilot. Deactivate AG1!
AG2/VTOL up/down - autopilot roll.
AG2/TRIM up/down - autopilot pitch. Trim down some to maintain slow level flight @30% throttle.

AG6 - weapons bay door control.
AG6/VTOL down - open weapons bay.

AG3 - A/G turret boom control.
AG3/VTOL down - lower the boom. Make sure the weapon bay doors are open before lowering the boom.

AG4 - A/G turret control.
AG4 roll/pitch - Control the A/G turret. Make sure AG1 is disabled, AG2 is enabled and that the plane is in a stable flight state. There’s a camera view for the A/G turret.

AG5 - A/A turret control.
AG5 roll/pitch - Control the A/A turret. Make sure AG1 is disabled, AG2 is enabled and that the plane is in a stable flight state. There’s a camera view for the A/A turret.

Yeah, I agree it’s a bit complicated but I’m confident you’ll be blasting enemy planes and tanks in no time. Please let me know of any problems and suggestions. Have fun!
