A shameless reupload of my last plane with a halloween themed livery and a gun (!!)

Happy Halloween! :)

Regular plane controls + trim for flaps

VTOL:
0 = forward,
+.5 = up, (-.5 = down)
+1 or -1 = reverse

AG8 enables/disables the motors for thrust vectoring (except for yaw which is always activated)

This plane is also capable of decelerating very quickly using reverse thrust (vtol slider all the way up or all the way down)
or by using the air brakes (you can’t use reverse thrust and air brakes at the same time though)

Part of the reason that the vtol slider control is not completely intuitive is because I wanted AI to be able to fly it, which it could not if the vtol = 0 made the nozzles point up (which would seem like the obvious choice if I wanted forwards/backwards/up, as the positions for the nozzle). The weird vtol slider does have the added benefit of being able to point the VTOL nozzel down though. This allows some crazy midair post stall maneuvering.

Ideas for tricks to try can be found on the description of the original upload
