F-42 Shortnose

7,741 InsertNameHere01  3.0 years ago

I will keep this short, as always.

Its far from perfect, and its not much, but its honest work!

Cockpit is self explanatory (50% similar to A-19's cockpit, with some changes)
I've also added a little "Note" With Checks to do if you are uncertain how to keep safe inside that beast.

Warning, this is my FIRST proper VTOL/TVC project, so expect bugs or unstable fuselage.

Quick Startup list for those that want to know first-hand from the creator!

1.Engage Parking Brake
2.Check power panel (Right Hand Side, Lower)
3.Check Fuel (Left Center, Middle)
4.Check Master Caution (Front, High) to unlock Engine Check systems
5.Proceed with Engine Checks (Left Center, Middle) and look for blue light
6.Check VTOL Unit (Left Side, Lower) via Lever
7.Check Flaps and Tailerons
8.Uncage TC

!Optional! Check Cockpit Note (Front Center, Middle) for a second verification

9.Close Canopy (Right Hand Side, Lower)
10.Apply Throttle (Idle %)
11.Check Engine RPM (Left Hand Side, Lower) and disengage Parking Brake
12.Taxi And Enjoy

I do not know if I will keep this project tree active, or end it here and draw the line onto a new one and new fuselage.
Per request, I've also attached the stock version of the engine system which you can find HERE

    @BellKitsu As per request, I've attached the stock engine base (which you can easily modify differently than F-42's modification) for self use. Enjoy!
