Gear are tied to throttle and 1. Don't lower gear over 160mph. Nose gun vtol up 3 to reveal 2 to fire. Cargo door vtol down 6. Engines on 4, throttle controls the vtol engines and 4 vtol controls vtol nozzles as well as the throttle of the main tail engines. I haven't resolved it yawing left on rolling take off, but in the air it's fine. Vtol take off it tips forward. get nose up and slam vtol up rocket outta there!

742 WeirdheadedRedbeard@TheLatentImage Thank you. I'll try to streamline it at the same time.9.0 years ago

Mod TheLatentImageThis this as beast! Awesome look, and I like the mechanics of it too. I think that the yawning left or right has something go do with using wings as struts for landing gear. That horseshoe crab I did does the same thing. Good build man.9.0 years ago

742 WeirdheadedRedbeardDesigned as a lifting body, This space infantry transport is intended to bleed speed and get to the ground. With 100,000 lbs of thrust it isn't so much a lifting body as a can of whoop ass punching its way through the sky! It can change course dramatically. it can fly with the rear engines alone and add about 5% thrust from the vectored thrust nozzles to trim pitch. On landing cut throttle thrust and get below 160 mph to activate 1 and drop gear. Then deactivate 1 to lock gear. You will probably need to cut vtol slider thrust on the rear engines to slow down. Once gear are locked down, cut rear engines and glide in. with the rear engines cut you and hover with the vtol engines. I cut throttle to around 38% depending on remaining fuel. Once you get low the rest is up to you! I left 5 open to add a wing pylon mounted anything later in the cargo bay. Have fun and please let me know what you think! Ratings are always appreciated.9.0 years ago
