Hi
While i was chilling and sniffing glu- I mean jet fuel, this thought hit me.
.
.
.
I've never made any VTOL with funky-tree didn't I?
Awww this is awful, VTOL would benefit so much from funky-tree code, I have been played around with funky-tree so much but VTOL never come across my mind.
This is it, I'll just make one.
But I'm too lazy to make VTOL from scratch so I just modded my old Instant Cobra Maneuver
And how to make a VTOL out of a 2 engine fighter?
Macross!!!!!!!!
.

This is what happened.
Features:
-3D thrust vectoring
-post-stall maneuvers and super-maneuverability.
-fly-by-funky-tree system
-Carrier operational
-VTOL
Controls:
-AG1: Stand up assist.
-AG2: Tail hook
-AG3: Transform!!!!!!
-AG4: Toggle smooth ride mode.(All this do is just tone down the control's sensitivity so less chance that the plane go into stall)
-AG5: Fire all missiles!!!!!!!!!!!
-trim to trim
Lets me explain a bit.
When you press AG3 the plane will transform to VTOL mode like in Macross, but it wont stand upright. This is what AG1 is for, it'll extend a piston from the nose to help the plane to stand.(Please retract it after)
Once you transform and stand completely, retract landing gear too.
If you transform at high speed the plane will tumble a bit due to thrust-vectoring force is not enough to compensate an aerodynamic force.
About 20% thrust is enough for hovering while fully loaded.
If you lose control just let go of the control and let fly-by-funky-tree system regain control for you.
And yes, you can do all sort of maneuvers yourself with a little bit of practice.
ENJOY!!!
Ps. This plane took inspiration from Japanese anime Macross which the plane transform to robot and fighting alien.
Ps.2 This thing may handle weird in VTOL mode because I just don't know much about VTOL, this is my 2nd VTOL and my first funky-tree VTOL after all.
Ps.3 This thing can't walk lol(I have 0 knowledge about how to make things walk)

@GuyFolk interesting i’ll look it up. Tbh i wonder what you can improve on my dhampir with the funky code
@ZeroErrorz Maybe it just coincidence idk but there always transforming mech once in a while. And why this is so stable? It's funky-tree code, check the code in rotator parts if you into this kind of stuff.
@BuiltBionixInd10 Can you make it walk? lol just saying.
yes
@GuyFolk am i stupid or people are starting to do macross after my stuff, maybe its just me lol, im new to mech mine are basicly quadcopter with legs lol.
Edit: WTF IS THAT HOW YOU MADE IT THAT STABLE, I WORKED MY ASS OFF BALANCING MINE AND ITS NEVER THAT SMOOTH REEEEEE
@lilgreen06 lol u right.
@OrangeCrush It just a VTOL inspire by this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAD7xT4PvMQ
@ZeroErrorz I'll check it out
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/LWW56N/Ampere-VXT-Q-Dhampir yo buddy
I bet it will be even cooler when you learn how to make it walk!
Cool
