Valkyrie V1

15 daehyun3555  18 hours ago

This is Valkyrie V1, a fictional hybrid aircraft inspired by the V-22 Osprey

It can fly in two different ways:
1. Hover and fly slowly like a helicopter
2. Fly fast like a normal airplane

The aircraft is designed to be easy to fly and easy to aim, even for beginners.

<Flight Modes>

[Helicopter Mode]
Used for hovering and slow attack
Best for aiming and ground targets

Hover throttle: 60–65%
Landing throttle: 50–55%, increase the throttle gradually as you approach ground level.

[Fixed Wing Mode]
Used for fast forward flight
Best for moving quickly between areas
When switching between modes, keep the controls calm for a moment.

[Cannon Control]
The 50 millimeter (50 mm) cannon is controlled by the cannon camera.

Aim Support OFF
- Camera direction = cannon direction
- Full manual aiming

Aim Support ON
- Aim Support helps aim at the target
- Moving your view around can still be used for small, fine adjustments
- Very helpful while hovering or flying slowly

(Aim Support does not take control away. It only helps keep the cannon stable.)

[Weapons and Targeting]
Weapon list and ammo count are shown on the cockpit display
Current weapon is marked with >
Target status, distance and direction are also displayed

[Instructions]
AG1 (Activation Group 1) — Fixed Wing Mode ON / OFF
AG7 (Activation Group 7) — Aim Support ON / OFF

[Cannon aiming]
Aim Support OFF — Camera aim (manual)
Aim Support ON — Auto aim + camera fine tuning

[Flight tips]
Hover: Throttle 60–65%
Landing: Throttle 50–55%

** Notes
Designed for stable, low-speed combat
Aim Support helps with aiming, but does not auto-fire
Smooth and gentle control gives the best accuracy

This is my first aircraft in SimplePlanes.
I built this aircraft while learning and playing with XML coding
Thanks for flying, and feedback is welcome!
