Peacekeeper

26.9k Sunnyskies  8.3 years ago

Peacekeeper is a short-range rapid-response VTOL/STOL multi-modal tiltrotor fitted for use as a police vehicle. It is lightly armed with only a .50 cal triple-barrel minigun with attached spotlight.

Top speed in level flight is about 250 mph. Takeoff hover is about 45% throttle. The craft is fitted with 3-axis RCNs for easy hovering flight.

AG1 unlocks and locks the rotor tilt, which is controlled with the VTOL-slider.
AG2 unlocks and locks the gun, which is controlled with VTOL-slider and trim.
It is possible to independently aim the gun while hovering, but care must be taken not to let the gun or its bullets to collide with the rest of the plane.
As always, RCNs are turned off and on with AG8.

Trim aggressively in level flight, as the plane is nose heavy at full tilt. You can lighten on the tilt to level the plane, but you will lose some speed doing so. There is a major tendency to roll right when moving forward, and no amount of mirroring has been able to fix this.

IMPORTANT: The props are modded. Don't touch them in the editor, or they will lose power.

    @Sunnyskies @Stellarcrazyargonaut Still... that is a bit heavy for "lightly armed"

    @Stellarcrazyargonaut Well considering most modern fighter jets are armed with 20mm cannons, .50 cal is kinda small in comparison.

    lol
    "It is lightly armed with only a .50 cal triple-barrel minigun"
    .50 cal can...
    destroy an engine
    kill a person easily in one shot
    so 6,000 .50 cal rounds per minute...
    huh
    "lightly armed"
    lol jk

    @Sunnyskies seems like that was it. It doesn't blow up on highest setting for me either.

    Aggressive tilting of the rotors destroys the engines the rotation speed may be a little too fast. I like that the gun can be aimed in dependently. Good work.
