MSA Cropduster MK. II (VR)
This is a reworked version of my previous upload. With the improvements and additions made, it should not only fly better, but also look better!
Additions:
- Added a drivetrain system to the wheels. Lost your propeller in a gun run? No problemo! If you can set down safely enough, you can drive away from the action. Try to go slowly as the plane loses control at high speeds and tends to catch air
- Added an extra switch to toggle between targeting modes
- Added a console to the left side of the cockpit which holds the secondary throttle and trim levers.
Changes:
- Made the cannons cooler. You’ll have to take care with aiming them as they now have actual recoil.
- Redesigned cockpit! While the rollbars are still there, the overall look and layout of the controls and dials is a bit better.
- Revamped the wings and control surfaces to work with the new sencondary engine system. This makes the plane less janky in the air and means less parts for your device to worry about.
- Slightly better paintjob and cannon body design
- Beefier prop engine to make taking off less labor intensive

The Cropduster is an indigenous modification of the standard Bush Plane, a beloved Cessna-esque budget plane used across the continental US. Produced almost entirely by the Midwestern Progress Coalition, the Cropduster is a patrol craft intended for use in reconnaissance, and in low-intensity firefights, as a light air support craft. This particular craft is fitted with twin 20mm autocannons and 6 improvised rockets, as well as emergency flares in the event that the plane is spiked by radar.
In reality, the Cropduster is an amateur mod of the stock Bush Plane, made by me as practice. This is technically the first plane I’ve ever made, and due to me not remembering much about CoF, CoM, or CoT, it feels a bit iffy in the air from time to time.
