USS Independence Plane Launcher

90 Aldzor  9.2 years ago

This plane/ship is obtained by a modification to the "USS Indipendence" ship created by NachoMan, that permit her to fly and to launch an airplane (as you can see the plane ist the "Vertigo" a pre-fabbricated plane of the game) both from water and from air. Before starting to say how this plane/ship work you should know that the "USS Indipendence Plane Launcher" can leave both from land and from water. Activate the group 1 to turn on the two Blasto VTOL engines of the ship, activate the group 4 to turn on the Blasto VTOL of the plane (I suggest to do it even if you don't want to launch the plane because in this way the plane/ship will have more power). Activate the group 2 to activate the rotation of the backside VTOL Nozzles, activate the group 4 to activate the rotation of the frontal VTOL Nozzles, activate the group 5 to activate the rotation of the plane's VTOL Nozzles, activate the group 6 to detach the plane. TO TAKE OFF activate the groups 1 and 4; then activate the group 2 and place the VTOL controller between the higer notch and the one below (depending on the situation you should move the VTOL controller, after this operation de-acivate the group 2; then activate the group 5 and place the VTOL controller at the higher notch; at this point de-activate the group 5; then activate the group 3 and place the VTOL controller between the lower notch and the one over it, during the air navigation do not de-activate the group 3 because it will help you to control the plane/ship. While you are in the water place all the VTOL controller at the higher notch. To turn left and right with the ship when you are in the sky to turn in the direction you want to go turn in the opposite one.
