A-22 Kraken

10.5k Xenotriver  2.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Xenotriver's Jet1

A first attempt at a VR compatible build. And a first build in a long time as well.

A little rough around the edges, definitely below the level of quality I'd myself expect from a 10k player but oh well.

The controls are as follows:
Ag-1: Canopy
Ag-2: Arms the inner/fuselage weapon pylons
Ag-3: Arms the outer/wing weapon pylons
Ag-4: Arms the gatling gun in the nose
Ag-5: Opens the drag chute (stock brakes are funky to say the least)
Ag-6: Jettisons weapons from all pylons
Ag-7: Radar
Ag-8: Navigation and formation lights

All accessible through the built-in cockpit through the use of switches and buttons. A simple HUD with a fixed aiming reticle, backlit gauges and labels, anything I managed before my motivation ran out while keeping it clean enough.

Some of you may have noticed, the cockpit is heavily based on the one from this build.
While I have put it together myself, I was planning on building a late-WW2 German fictional experimental aircraft, based on my never released coleopter. I just got carried away and kinda built a 4th-gen jet?

Since this is my first VR build, and I DO NOT own a VR headset, I would love it if someone could test this build and make sure it's not a headache to use.

    @DARZAVIATIONOFICIAL @WisconsinStatePolice @BeastHunter
    so umm I just found a little bug I missed. Basically the flight computer is inverted, so everything that uses the Heading expression is broken...

    How do I update the XML file?
