FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS:
Thrust vectoring mode is on by default, though you can switch back to using control surfaces by pressing AG1. The laser weapon onboard can be activated by AG2, the auxiliary gyroscope can be activated by AG3 (Please refer to "LASER INSTRUCTIONS" for a more detailed guide). Landing assist gyro can be activated by AG4. To arm the 2 aams onboard, press AG5 while having targeting mode in Air to Air. This plane is capable of preforming PSM, so any sort of flight instability is BY DESIGN, if you wish to not enter a stall while in a turn, either switch off thrust vectoring or lower throttle.

LASER INSTRUCTIONS:
This aircraft carries an onboard, self aiming, ball turret, laser system. Now, due to some limitations in Funky Tree (and my incompetence in coding and math), the turret isn't 100% self aiming. To successfully hit a target, first activate the laser system by AG2, then level your plane by activating the auxiliary gyroscope by AG3. Note that this gyroscope is not completely necessary but it improves accuracy by a lot. Lastly, use yaw control to face the general direction of the target, the laser turret will do the rest.

Some important things to note about the laser system is that: 1. It will freak out whenever you face due north or south. 2. The aiming system completely breaks if an enemy is behind you. 3. The aiming system completely breaks if your wings are not level (error margin of about -5 deg to 5 deg in pitch and/or roll) or upside down. 4. The turret has limited depression angle so it is advised that you stay below the target.

ps. I have no idea why it's off centered in the designer, sooo
