Auto Credit Based on SledDriver's Aeolus

NOTE: Custom camera 1 is cockpit view.

At SledDriver Industries, we don't often make mistakes, but when we do we correct them quickly. The Aeolus was too beautiful an aircraft to send out unarmed; enter the Aeolus Mark II, even more beautiful and armed with a 20-shot BombCannon that can take out all seven ships, both bridges, and the Snowstone missile base, all in one mission. Other upgrades are a quiet cockpit for your auricular comfort, a high-visibility crosshair, and a toughened airframe that can withstand any amount of cannon fire, a substantial amount of flak and even some missile impacts.

CONTROLS

AG8 to toggle pitch sensitivity. Air-to-ground mode to arm BombCannon, 'fire' to fire.

    @22zxSnakeEyes Take a look at this build. That was made manually. You can see each segment because the difference in slope between any two segments is too large. I simply wrote a program to use segments thin enough (usually 0.25 units thick) to make smooth shapes. As to how I'm doing it, it just needs an understanding of how the frontScale, rearScale, and offset properties of fuselage blocks work. Try building a few creations in this style, like my earlier builds, and everything will become clear.

    Have not been with that company following F-22 contract acquisition. The Aerospace Corp, El Segungo, offered me a new job, I accepted. Was told to shut up about particulars. @SledDriver

    @Stingray Thanks. That's good to know, I didn't expect it to run well on tablets. How's life at Lockheed Martin?

    @BaconRoll Yeah, I made this literally a few minutes after I uploaded the first one, then kicked myself for uploading in a hurry.

    @DarthAbhinav You mean when you cut the engines by hitting 'Brake.' That's a side effect of the LaunchBoost technology. To avoid that happening, instead of cutting the engines, throttle down smoothly.
