AirCarrier Mk2

Auto Credit Based on Wolf64's AirCarrier Mk1

It's a major upgrade for the carrier itself. On the first version drones were the focus point of the design and the main plane had some rough parts waiting for a fix. I felt like its time for a face lift both in appearance and in mechanics so I repositioned the wings changed the tali, made the control surfaces more smooth etc. Also added some bombs for extra fun. Controls and Activation group remained the same.

Functions:
Group 8 : As this is a normally activated group it covers the main planes engines, hach of the cargobay, navlights and gearsupports.
Group 1: Drone consoles to reach starting position.
Group 2: Front Drones engine, lights, weaponary and wing folding mechanism.
Group 3: Release Front done.
Group 4: Same as Gr.1 on middle Drone.
Group 5: Release mid Drone.
Group 6 Rear Drone.
Group: 7 Rear Drone release.

Tipps: Use max angle to release drones and give time for the engines to spin up, otherwise chrashes are likely. Since landinggear operation can't be bount to groups the main plane gears, are supported on ground, so gear operation on drones wont affect the main craft. Gear supports are only useble at 0 mph. The main plane is amphibius. Always supervise group acrivation. It's easy to mix and destroy the whole thing. All Drone posess normal / orbit cameras and mechanical sights for guns.

    @FoxTech Thanks for the feedback. I could not recreate the problems on my machine, but will try to make it less resource consuming.

    It keeps crashing my 32 gig (fast) device and can't fly without a laggy explosion that crashes my game.

    @aloushi605 @destroyerP I'm trying to develop it to be more cpu friend but it's hard to check. (at least for me) Maybe the Predecessor will run a bit smoother. You should give it a try. The main plane is a bit uglier but has nearly the same characteristics as this one, except the bombs.
