D77-TC 'Pelican' Dropship

5,349 FireDrake  4.0 years ago

This is my finalized (and slightly modded) version of the D77-TCI Pelican from the Halo universe. This craft can perform basic functions that the original version can perform.

Controls

AG-1 + VTOL up - Controls Altitude.

AG-2 - Closes/opens troop bay door.

AG-3 + Throttle - Controls main winglet engines.

AG-5 + Trim up/down - Controls pitch of winglets.

AG-6 + Trim up/down - Controls pitch of primary rear thrusters.

Roll - controls Roll and Yaw axis of the craft.

Pitch - (shockingly) controls Pitch axis of the craft.

Takeoff

Close troop bay door, activate Group 1, and put winglets and thruster pointing partially down. Put VTOL slider in between top and top-middle position and throttle to 50-75%. Once off the ground, activate group three and put throttle to 100%. Readjust thruster postition and watch your altimeter.

To land the Pelican do these steps over but inverse.

Gotta keep this short, so that's all for now. Enjoy!

    No problem! I like how simple it is while still being accurate.
