EAS-435E Pulsar

Auto Credit Based on EchoWhiskey11's EAS-435 RCN

Model Version: 4
Upgrades:
- Stability at lower speeds
- HUD View
- Landing Gear

Controls
Read All Notes, Still an unconventional Flight System

  • AG1: Main Flight Engine
  • AG2: VTOL/Hover Engine
  • AG3: Activate Weapons
    -AG4: Open Canopy
  • AG8: Disable RCN system (The little nozzle thing no one uses in builds)

Tuning: To access the engine and vector controls, Simply select the Panel above the Engine labelled ENGINE ACCESS, use the transform tool, select Connected Parts, and use the nudge feature to lift the engine up, I'd recommend by a value of 10, from there you can change anything you want, and when your done, simply lower it back into place. The Funky Trees coding is nothing crazy, but if you need help, just feel free to ask.

Note 1: This vehicle is a VTOL landing and Takeoff only. You must first go into a HOVER (AG2) at least 80% power in order to takeoff, and switch to FLIGHT mode (AG1) to fly forward. To land use Hover (AG2) at anything below 75% power. Remember to turn off AG2 once you are in FLIGHT mode (AG1).

Note 2: This vehicle does not use control surfaces to fly, you must have AG8 active, or some power to the engines in order to control Pitch, Yaw, and Roll, the flaps are for show. At below 500 knots, you can enter a post stall, and it is recommended to use 30% to 50% power to control the craft in a post stall.

Description
Type: Ship Launched Fighter
Crew: 1 Pilot
Weapons: 20 mm Multi-cannon, 4 Guardians, 3 Interceptors

Manufacturer: Avenel Flight

Overview:
The latest variation of the Pulsar enhances a lot of the characteristics of the old design, including a fully integrated 3D HUD system. While the original Pulsar was an interim design, with more advance fighters in the works, the "E" variant only makes this little fighter harder to replace.

Utilizing a standard 2x5 hardpoint, pilots who are familiar with modular weapon configurations can add a multitude of weapons. Standard configuration includes both Guardians, and Interceptors for both medium, and long range combat. To add to the versatility of the craft, two additional external hardpoints have been added to the underside, allowing for more munition to be carried.

Builders Notes
This little fighter is back, with some new upgrades. I still wanted something that was simple and straight forward, but at the same time sleek, and futuristic. I was able to fine tune the flapless RCN flight system even more to get some more agility out of this thing. This thing is 25% larger than the original design, so I could cram more stuff into the cockpit. Also I completely fixed the issue with it rolling for no reason. Turns out the landing gear was causing the issues.

    @Pyrrha thanks, I'm glad you like the build. I'm currently drafting a fighter that is supposed to replace it, but I'll be honest I got a little carried away with this new update. Thanks again,

    @KOZAK1178 Thanks, I hope you enjoy it. I made the base model white for the sake of if looking military, but paint it anyway you want, the first paint block lets you customize the ships accents, and the last one I think controls the lights.

    @Falco7 He (assuming it's a he given the name) is probably just taking a break for school or work. Simple Planes can be draining, and the community sometimes doesn't help.
