Fictional weaponized osprey: Has fuselage-mounted unguided rockets, a 50mm chin cannon, a belly-mounted retractable mini-gun, downward-firing air to surface missiles, and a working FLIR that allows full use of weapons (guns and A-S missiles) in straight and level flight.
Basic model is based on the MV-22 OSPREY, for basic flight instructions, view description of that aircraft.
Weapons instructions:
Group 1: Activates synchronized rotation/elevation FLIR and chin cannon.
Group 2: extends/retracts belly-mounted mini-gun (use elevator trim: up = extend, down = retract) deactivate group 2 once belly gun is in desired position.
Group 3: activates rotation/elevation of belly gun, synchronized with FLIR and chin cannon.
Group 7: deactivates ailerons.
*Disable groups 7 and 8 before using FLIR rotation/elevation to engage targets.
*Ensure belly gun is extended prior to launching missiles!
*Best firing platform is with nacelles rotated halfway up, airspeed approx. 100kts. Counter pitch with trim when aiming FLIR.

Agreed haha. It’s hard to be accurate. Sometimes I just keep the belly gun extended and use the nose of the aircraft to acquire ground targets and use missiles. I like the FLIR and having the main cockpit inside it gives it Some cool abilities, but it also off centers the views so much that it looks weird from the chase or orbit cams when it flies.
Just that it’s kinda hard to fly..
Awesome!
