Welcome Employee.


Introduction.

This Freighter is the modern incarnation of a tilt-rotor plane, and not only is your home away from (and at) home, designed to accommodate for long flights taking the stress, and skill out of flying. Your job in your new steed, is to deliver goods of course, remember your crane training? That will be vital for helping you collect and drop off your goods.

Remember your quota, follow Health and Safety Regulations at all times (especially the Lethal G-Force warning on your left window). Namely, Keep your speed below company standards, keep on your stabilisers (AG8 + Gear) and remember your VTOL training.

Remember, when entering Avalanche Territories, the Countermeasures can be activated with the under-desk button. Remain vigilant, and only drop off your cargo in SAFE places away from Danger.

Lastly, in dire situations only, remove stabilisers and increase throttle to the max to escape danger.


Your new ship includes

-Heads Up Display, to help with navigation, and with risk-prevention.
-A large living space, to furnish as you please, below 200kg of Decor

-A movable chair, because comfort is king
-A large cargo weight tolerance

-The ability to travel the world while working with the company!


Controls

-AG1, Warmup the ship. Required to fly
-AG1 + AG3 + VTOL, Enable Engine rotation
-AG1 + AG5 + Throttle, Enable Engine Power Alteration
-AG2, Cargo Bay opening + Enabled Crane controls (VTOL & TRIM)
-AG2 + AG6, Seat rotation to face Cargo bay window and VR crane controls
-AG4, Front lights on
-AG6, Cargo Crane Magnet Activation
-AG7, Cockpit Doors
-AG8, Stabilising Gyroscope
-Landing Gear, Extra Gyroscopic Stabilisation
-Countermeasures = Countermeasures


Recommended Flight start ups

AG1 + AG3 + AG5, for a start up (Keep AG8 + LandingGear ON)
26% to 30% for Gentle Vertical Take Off, Not sure entirely why it varies so drastically depending on where its taking off, but here we are

to maintain gentle/slow speed, increase VTOL a little and if needed, use roll and yaw for gentle turning, with pick/VTOL to alter speed and altitude.

FULL FLIGHT, start up in the same way, throttle to whatever percent you want above 40%, VTOL Starts at mid until at a reasonable altitude, then Slam VTOL to max, Deactivate AG8 and Landing gear, then fly it like a normal plane, reactivate AG8 and LandingGear if you want 'Autopilot' aka flying straight, and have VTOL slightly below Max.

The Stabilisers are weird if only AG8 and not LandingGear is active, I cant figure out why.


Side notes: its an fusion of a tilt-rotor/chinook/futuristic freighter, I tried to keep it grounded enough to be considered 'realistic' I know thats pretty hard to believe, but no sci-fi tech is really involved, the highest tech bits are probably the fact I made it land on its engines, which- fair enough, is a bit goofy, the hud doesnt say anything crazy new, it just has a neat little warmup
