SBP-4 Pelican

799 NavalCG  3.1 years ago

Simple seaplane. Vtol for flaps. Basic controls. Gunner is an experimental VR only gun (that doesn’t work sadly, sorry, I don’t have a VR to test). I forgot to make the cannons multi role, sorry for the re-upload

    @AndrewGarrison thanks for informing me! I’ll take those to note. During Takeoff I had to pull up with full throttle (the basic throttle part) and flaps (the lever part) when I tested it. Again, thanks!

    This is a good build, but I did notice some issues in VR. The airplane is very hard for me to take off on low physics. If I don't hit the throttle immediately on entering the level, the plane will rock back and flip over. If I hit the throttle too aggressively then it will nose dive. If I can keep it level, then I can get up to speed, but I have to retract the gear to take off. The gunner doesn't rotate in VR unfortunately. I do really enjoy it while in the air, but it's just a little too difficult to take off for me to curate as is. If you make a new build, tag me in the post and I'll check it out for curation.
