CONTROLS
For hovering T/O:
- Trim aircraft just above middle dash fwd and keep VTOL nacelles at the middle
- Slowly place throttle at 38%
- Hover rotorcraft at 100ft from ground and put nose down at 20-25 degrees to gain speed.
- At 70mph, slowly place throttle at 45% and move VTOL just above middle dash.
-Trim the aircraft carefully fwd so as to achieve level flight and/or positive climb of rate and move engine nacelles as desired.
- Retract the landing gear.

For Hover Landing:
-Decrease airspeed at 200-250mph and select a landing spot.
-Place Throttle at 33-35% for slow-to-normal descent or 30-32% for steep descent.
-Trim aircraft for level flight and move gradually VTOL at the middle and/or slightly below.
- Extend landing gear when airspeed is below 180mph.
-Keep the airspeed between 40-60mph and correct any heading slides with yaw inputs.
- As approaching the ground (70-80ft) increase throttle at 35-36% and hover aircraft above desired touchdown point. For touchdown, decrease slowly the throttle below 30% with the rotorcraft completely level. Slight forward move is permitted but slides, rolling motions or backward movement are forbidden.

CV-26S Nessus (sometimes referred as Pulser II) is an Operational and Structural Variant Upgrade (OSVU) of the CV-26M Pulser aircraft, specifically constructed for the Royal Krakabloan Air Force according to the Kingdom’s operational requests and in detailed co-operation with Harpia Defence Sysytems Co. Due to increased territorial water tension with the Wright Islands Confederation and in order to suppress the Bandit Revolution Movement, the Kingdom of Krakabloa was looking for a heavy transport aircraft capable of VTOL operation and adjustable to mission requirements. So, a decision was made to upgrade the existing fleet of 22 CV-26M to the –S variant and acquire some 12+4 extra –S variants for a new on-scene COIN Squadron. A USD 4.2bn contract was signed with the HDS Co. and works commenced immediately. This model is highly specialized for Land Attack/gunship, Deep Infiltration, COIN, Maritime Patrol, SIGINT/ELINT and CSAR missions. It is a military, tilt-rotor, heavy-lift, medium-sized rotorcraft capable of a large variety of missions. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. It is equipped with the:
- AN/APN-381 multimode navigation radar, consisting of precised navigation and air-to-ground modes including Monopulse Ground Mapping (MGM), Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS), high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Terrain Avoidance/Terrain Following (TA/TF), skin paint (for Station Keeping-SKE), maritime detection, weather/turbulence detection, wind shear alert, and ballistic wind measurement (for precision airdrop).
-AN/APY-10E multi-mission surface search radar able to provide high resolution radar images in both overland and water modes, including color weather, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), periscope detection, and navigation. ISAR mode is capable of both detecting, imaging and classifying surface targets at long range using a variety of ultra-high resolutions. Radar is located at the underside of the aircraft.
-AN/APQ-190 Thermal and E-M Tracking Sensor (TEM-TRA.S.) – a sensor assembly designed to search, acquire, and track ground and maritime thermal (UV/IR) and electro-magnetic (F,J,K,L,X,Y,Z bands) signals, located at positions up to 120 nautical miles. Radar-exported coordinates are used as a reference point to give the gunship’s weapons and navigation system a bearing and range to the desired target.
-AN/AAQ-86 Infrared Detecting Set (IDS) – long-wave infrared (LWIR) band Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) (mounted below the windshield)
-AN/ALR-99 – digital Radar warning receivers (RWR) scattered throughout the aircraft.
-AN/AAR-134 – UV/IR-based Missile Approach Warning and Avoidance System (MAWAS).
-AN/ALQ-196 Low-Band Jammer (LBJ) – low frequency DRFM jammer-based ECM.
-AN/AAQ-84 Aspis – laser-based Directional Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM)
-AN/ALE-47 Fully Automatic Countermeasure Dispensing System (CMDS) – chaff/flare dispenser.
-FLIR Star SAFIRE 380i-HD Electro-Optics and Thermal Imaging turret.
-Apache Arrowhead MkII Modernized Target Acquisition and Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) in a nose-mounted sensor suite for precise target acquisition and night vision enhancement systems. The thermographic camera on it can precisely locate low signal thermal sources.
-AN/AAR-258 – Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD) arranged to a probe, for Maritime Detection missions, located at the aft fuselage.
-AN/SLQ-74D active pinger ranging Sonic-Luminar Buoy (SLB) located inside the aircraft in special deploy platform (SDP) behind ramp-door for detecting naval and submarine targets.
-AN/SLQ-98B Airborne Detection and Monitoring Suite (ADMS), capable of detecting, monitoring, locking and transmitting target data through Link-16 and it is located between the side-doors in the fwd fuselage.
- Link-16 Tactical Data Link (TDL) for transferring the tactical picture in near-real time to Command and Control Centers and to friendly forces (both aircrafts and ships)
-3 x M61 Vulcan guns (2 side-mounted, 1 nose-mounted)
-Fuel boom system, located above windshield in fwd fuselage for in-flight refueling day and night.
-hoist mechanisms, searchlight, ramp-door, side-doors
-multiple ordinance for maritime and ground attack (gunship) and air-to-air self-protection during deploy.
Crew: Minimum three: pilot (P), co-pilot (CP), weapons systems officer (WSO) (plus loadmaster-LM for cargo missions, mission specialists-MS for SIGINT/ELINT and Maritime Patrol and Detection missions, pararescuemen-PJ for CSAR missions)
Capacity: 40 troops fully geared or 30 paratroops fully geared or 25 litters with 8 medical personnel.
Cargo compartment: width 3.0-4.75m X height 2.30m

C&C Roleplay Gameworld addition - @GoldenEagle @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

The Awwamy Royal Air Force signed a contract for 30+5 CV-26S Nessus aircrafts in September 2016 with deliveries commencing in the same month. The aircraft will be designated as CV-26A Saturamir (?????? - Conqueror) in the Awwamy inventory and it will equip 2 Heavy Lift Squadrons and 1 Special Ops Squadron. The Minister of Defence of the Kingdom, Crowned Prince Amin Al-Amir, anounced the intention of the Awwamy government to acquire more CV-26 in order to establish a Maritime Patrol Squadron and a dedicated CSAR Squadron for DIEX (Deep Infiltration and EXtraction) missions. The Awwamy Royal Air Force became the first operator of the aircraft in the C&C Roleplay gameworld and the Meme King Industries (MKI) signed a Memorandum of Co-operation as a Certified Maintenance Partner of the CV-26S Nessus rotorcraft.

--------------------------
After some practice you will be able to hover and perform many maneuvers and you will be able to accomplish many mission scenarios. Pay attention to yaw inputs and corrections and be smooth and positive in control every time. Please have in mind to keep the CG in current position for better stability and performance. Have fun and leave a comment if you have any question or any suggestions for improvement.

Upvote and many regards for the original craft and its creator Ahtzee. He provided a great aircraft body for me to start experimenting and keep upgrading my design.

    @AstleyIndustries I believe that every aircraft should have some basic info and why not a background story.
