( No longer works due to update, reupload pending )The Burner

5,977 LimitedShelf568  6.8 years ago

Thanks to the recent gyro update, I was finally able to complete a working model of 'The Burner'. It is a high-speed, low-altitude hovercraft vehicle. To takeoff, first activate the gyros with 7, then the vtol thrusters with 1 and push VTOL all the way up. You can hover like this indefinetely with some adjustments. To fly, activate the offset thrusters with 2 and push the throttle up. Activate the main thruster with 3.

Tips:
It is relatively easy to fly, but will require adjustments in flight, particularly with roll, as this control has the most influence on maneuvers.
The lights in the cockpit tell you what engines are on.
Using all three controls together is the most effective way to pilot this craft.
It is easier to control at lower speeds.
This vehicle is best used in large flat areas.

Further Updates:
A weaponized version of this aircraft is coming soon.
