Flying boat SR Vulture MkII 6.9

237k RamboJutter  6.2 years ago
Auto Credit Based on RamboJutter's Flying boat SR Vulture MkII 6.1

Amphibious version of the Vulture. Note: if taking off on water keep float down, if taking off on land retract float (centre of gravity changes). Ag1 to retract floats, Ag2 for flaps (useful for takeoffs and landings), Ag3 drops drop tanks, Ag4 turns on lights. A really nice flyer with lots of little features and hidden mechanisms to assist (i.e. front wheel oleo extends on takeoff, balance is adjusted by hidden pistons / weights as real aircraft do with fuel transfer etc.)

    Float is retracted flaps down and obviously gear as well. But i only managed to land it a view time since as soon as the front gear touches down it just obliterates itself lol

    @QuickNils are you doing it with ag1 and 2 deployed? Ie float retracted and flaps down? It works fine, obv if you can't fly and nose in it goes boom but even I can land it on a runway.

    @Tank6376 i wish water rudders worked with the physics of the game and then it would turn in the water.

    @Snape93 it's just sensitive on rudder, float needs to be retracted for land take off as well.
