DISCLAIMER
This is a fictional build, but I heavily inspired myself on the hovercraft racers from the video game series WipEout (especially WipEout HD Fury) which is a racing game series for the PlayStation 1-4 and for the Nintendo 64. The hovercraft I took most of my design references from is the FEISAR FX-350/400 (image below).
HISTORY
Sorry but I am too lazy to write the history but here you got some WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore WipEout lore.
SCREENSHOTS
CONTROLS
Throttle: Throttle (duh)
Yaw right: Right Airbrake
Yaw left: Left Airbrake
Brake: Both Airbrakes
Pitch: nothing
Roll right: Steer Right
Roll left: Steer Left
AG1: Boost/Afterburner
AG2: Weapons System
When you fly at high speeds, especially with afterburner on, do not steer to aggressive or the hovercraft might spin like a beyblade. You can easily stop the spinning by steering against the rotation but it’s a bit bothering because you lose most of the speed.
The hovercraft handles quite good but it needs a lot of space to change directions because it drifts like a Toyota Corolla tofu delivery car.
Top speed without afterburner: ca. 780kph/484,67mph
Top speed with afterburner: ca. 1050kph/652,4398mph
(mph is cringe change my mind)

Yeah it’s quite underrated sadly @AriVex
That is awesome! not every day you run into a WipEout fan!
me and my dad 2 days ago betted £5 best of 3 on wipeout 2048 remastered (wipeout omega edition) i won by 1 second. Wipeout is a very good game and if you havent played it i highly recommend getting it
@DJ2keroni I will do such, I'm currently rebuilding my whizzing arrow that I built years ago cuz I realized the creation I was so proud of is actually dog doodoo, but if it's helping with hovering and stability, I'm your guy
I‘m building an Icaras racer at the Moment, the mechanics ar finished (another player built the base for me bc the „flight performance“ of this thing is just too bad. I really like your FEISAR btw. If you want more dm me on discord: DJkekkeroni#3388 @Mixx
Finally someone who's hover mechanics rival even mine
Thank you, im working on a new one at the moment with much better handling and a new design @Zanedavid
YES WHY HAVEN’T I SEEN THIS YET, I love these a lot nice work
Oh okay @RandomUser09
@DJ2keroni request sent.
@DJ2keroni Ima not murican I live somewhere around Asia.
Hello Murican buddy @RandomUser09
@DJ2keroni hello German buddy
You don’t have to, but if you want to contact me on discord: DJkekkeroni#3388. There aren’t many WipEout/Ag racing fans on SP, especially not that good ones as you. Really, your talent is too big to be left behind. @MidnightSun
Bro, pleasedont stop, I love the design of your creations. I also have about 2,500 hours in this game but I think I will never really stop playing it. It’s just the perfect game imo @MidnightSun
@DJ2keroni well, i'm very dissatisfied with this game and am constantly trying to stop playing it. 3000 hours is not a joke anymore.
so sometimes i go deleting a lot of shit that i made.
my ag racers were also victim of that.
but here are some things i made:

I said: „Hanz, an Angelsachsian (English guy), get the big Panzefraust! @RandomUser09
@DJ2keroni Was? Ich habe es nicht verstanden
Hanz, ein Angelsachse! Getze big Panzerfaust! @RandomUser09
Hällo
You cant Lie to me , thats the Cosmic Dolphin from F-zero GX
Thank you. Why don’t you upload your Planes? I would really like to fly them @MidnightSun
good way to make it float. even if it's a little rough at times.
i suggest adding sidewards thrusters that use angle of slip to negate any drift and give it more grip. i always did that on mine and it works out great.
just remember that the AngleOfSlip value is bugged at speeds below 1.
so use (AngleOfSlip/[some number. can be between 20 and 200 for all i know. depends on the engine] *clamp01(TAS > 3))
hope you don't mind me using this lift engine.
Nice
