Red Reign

822 Crdguy  5.3 years ago

A plane I made about a year ago now that I forgot to upload.

Red Reign is a very odd kind of cargo plane. Continuing on from my previous "Mobile Turret" designs, the Red Reign's fuselage expands out into a turret platform. It can even do this in the air without breaking. Weaponry not pictured (though slightly crude, I tried to make it look good).
Otherwise, Red Reign is probably one of my best planes to fly. Handles well with good top speed. It also features a top-mounted gatling gun turret that can be used to defend the plane.

CONTROLS:

1 + VTOL - Activate weapons bay doors. Slide up to open out the plane to reveal its hidden payload, and slide back to close it again.
2 - Control hidden weapons. Only activate this group when the weapons bay is open. Use VTOL and the Trim sliders to aim - VTOL controls azimuth and trim controls elevation. Group 2 will also activate the weapons in the weapons bay.
3 - Unused
4 - Detach missiles. Mostly an unnecessary group. In order to actually fire the missiles you will need to activate Group 2 as well.
5 - Unused
6 - Unused
7 - Unlock control of the top turret. Use VTOL and Trim to aim.

CAMERAS:

1 - Turret view. Use this when you are using the weapons bay for better aim.
2 - Alternate turret view. You may want to switch between cameras to be able to see your target better.
