Bell V-280 Valor

300 CenturionKing  8.6 years ago

This is my attempt at making a realistic VTOL airplane. This is a futuristic osprey-like airplane with twin rotors on each side. It is very difficult to fly, and I couldn't manage a good vertical takeoff. The ony place that I could get it to fly was at the Yeager Airport Final Approach location. Even so, if you manage to get it to fly, instead of pulling down on the joystick to go up, push it up. Also, for better flying exoerience, I recommend keeping the VTOL slider mo oderately up. About 3/4 of the way should work less
