Nexus Valitio VTOL Strike Ship

30.5k CookingWithCinderBlocks  4.8 years ago

This is my very first working VTOL aircraft, so there may be some issues. Just letting you know ahead of time. Enjoy!

History:

Nexus industries decided that is was time to try out making a VTOL themselves when the Angel VTOL was released. After the release of the Valitio they were manufactured in bulk. But after a few missions, it was proven that the Angel VTOL had the best chance of success. Due to many (12,340) Valitios in storage, Nexus decided to re-purpose the aircraft for blitz attacks and scouting.
Even thought the Valitio wasn't as successful as the company planed them to be, they are still used and still have a fighting chance. Though some flaws put the crew in danger, like not having any counter measures for missile protection and other seeking weapons.

Controls:

Angle Jets: VTOL to adjust jet angle.
Main jet: Action 1 to activate.
Landing gear/Rocket pods: Trim to adjust landing gear and rocket pod angle.
Gyro and Angle Jets: Action 8 to turn off gyroscope, but turns off any input for the angle jets, example: so if you turn off the plan, but Action 8 if off, then the angle jets will still run.

Warning:

Pay attention to the angle of the jets, if the arrows are pointing backwards, then the plane can go into a infinite spin, until something else interferes.
