UD-4L Cheyane v1.0

165 LAVpanda  8.8 years ago

The UD-4L Cheyane, a.k.a. Colonial Marines drop ship from Aliens. I have been working on this craft for well over a week, and it has been a real challenge. It still needs some tweeks to get it where I want it performance wise, so expect a rework of this once I fix what I need to. Some basics on how to operate the UD-4L: disable group 8 first before flying. To open the front missile bays, group 1 and VTOL all the way up. To open the rear rocket pods, activate group 2 first and then 3 once 2 is at least 3/4 the way open. To use the main flight engines activate group 7. This craft is by no means going to win a speed and agility race, but it is a beast!

Check out the v1.1 that I posted, it is a bit more controllable in VTOL flight.
