EAC T-I Talon (Prop Racer Challenge)

Auto Credit Based on WzNick's [Challenge] Le Rallye du Ciel Grand Prix

I used a minimal amount of XML, only really used for stylistic freedom and things that require it (such as the gear)

Some things to be aware of:

The VTOL slider is for prop pitch, if you go below 0 you will lose all airspeed and fast

The props like to overspeed if you use throttle over 70% for an extended period of time

Takeoff is a little bit finicky but it's fine past that. I recommend keeping the trim slider to around 0.2


I do not expect to win, I mainly just wanted to make a turboprop

Also, Sparda is the team name (I totally didn't just steal it from DMC)

    @WzNick I honestly forgot how unintelligent SP AI is, thank you

    I guess I'll just modify the engines to max out at 0.7 instead of 1

    @SchmooveBrain I ain't piloting it, the ai does, and it likes to go 100% (read challenge description)

    @WzNick yeah, it works best if you keep it at 70% throttle with VTOL at 25%, that gives the max efficiency in the prop pitch and the possible speed. Highest I got was around 250 while flying straight
