Auto Credit Based on Ravenblack's Alpine Aerial Truck (Flying truck)
A flying truck you say? Yes, yes I do say...
Select 1 to turn on the turbines, but make sure you've slid the VTOL all the way up first.... then watch her unfold and grow....
She's a little nose heavy, but far improved over the prototype. She's also quite light on the controls, so be gentle with your inputs...
On the ground, slide the VTOL back to the middle (not too far or BOOM!!!). Ground engine uses pitch as throttle (so you have forward and reverse), and steering is by yaw/rudder.
Have fun! She's a heck of a truck!

@WalrusAircraft Ah, now that's good to know! Cheers.
In the XML you can set VTOL to be -1 -1 or 1 1 to force one direction either way. @Ravenblack
@WalrusAircraft The other error is shutting VTOL under halfway, after doing a really good landing. Feeling happy to get it down and BOOM!
Lol, nice truck/airplane/beast of the sky! I made the mistake of VTOL down in the air and paid the price.
