Overview: The D410 "Snipe" is a stealth attack helicopter. It features a faceted fuselage design, as well as a tailless dual-rotor configuration. This tailless configuration combined with the aircraft's maneuverability means that the aircraft requires a fly-by-wire input system to prevent excessive control outputs from being given, as well as keeping the aircraft on course during high-speed flight. The D410 has a weapon payload consisting of 16 Air-To-Surface missiles, 14 unguided rockets, and 2 auto-cannons.

NOTES

• The aircraft will automatically invert collective pitch while upside-down.
• The guns/rockets are angled downwards. Therefore, use the Targeting View while firing weapons for better accuracy.
• Banking the aircraft too steeply causes yaw control issues. Avoid exceeding ~60º bank angle.
• An AngleOfSlip limiter will activate automatically after 100mph (161kph, 87knots).
• To better simulate stealth, this command can be executed to change lock evasion probability: //Aircraft>AircraftScript.set_EvadeLockProbability (Single). This may run into issues if there are multiple aircraft loaded in-game, so manually typing and selecting the first Aircraft that appears in the command console might be a better option.
• The aircraft has a slight pitch-up tendency while carrying a full load. This is due to the extra weight of the Air-To-Surface missiles.
• The aircraft has a greater pitch-up tendency while flying at high speeds.
• I recommend using either Mouse or Joystick control for this aircraft.
• Giving the aircraft violent roll-oscillations can cause the aircraft to destabilize and become uncontrollable.
