195 Hyperman12  8.6 years ago

Similar to the harrier, the F-315 is a VTOL (though landing requires great skill) fighter in it's early developement stages. Will be improved in later versions. Controls and startup: Disactivate 8 and push VTOL forward then power up to 2 for taxiing. Reactivate 8 and bring VTOL to center. Power full and gain 200-300 ft of altitude. Retract gear now .Push VTOL to first notch and gain speed until 150 mph. VTOL all the way up and fly normally. Landing: Extend gear. VTOL full back and reduce speed to 150 mph. Move VTOL up one notch until about stationary. Reduce thrust slowly and center VTOL until landed. THIS VERSION IS UNARMED DUE TO C.O.M. MOVING WHEN WEAPONS ARE FIRED. DO NOT ADD WEAPONS!
