AEW-14 Void Eye (VR)

11.6k ZooxTark  1.9 years ago

Void Eye is an early warning aircraft with a highly automatic pilot system

This plane looks huge, but in fact it is not as big as you imagine. It is just 25m in length and 32m in width. What is amazing about it, however, is that it has an advanced autopilot system. And that's why it takes all the activation groups to control the whole plane.

Something about the autopilot system

You can use the keypad in the cockpit to set the target altitude and heading angle for the plane. However, they won't be working until you enable AG5 and AG6. And if you don't activate the AG4, the function of lock heading and lock altitude can't be available.
The target altitude must be set between 200 and 15000 (because the plane cannot get to that height), and the target heading must be set between 0 and 360. If you set the heading angle to 360, it will be changed to 0 after you apply it.

Setting the altitude

The auto orient function doesn't use gyroscope, it uses the control surfaces on the plane. In this case, the plane may turn to an unexpected angle when the IAS is too low.

How to control:

AG1 Open doors
AG2 Active parachute
AG3 Enable high stability mode
AG4 Enable auto orient mode
AG5 Lock heading (AG4 required)
AG6 Lock Altitude (AG4 required)
AG7 Prevent crashing (AG4 required)
AG8 Lights
VTOL Control flaps

It took me a long time to develop this plane. It may not be perfect, but I did my best. If you like it, please give me an upvote. If you find a bug, please contact me.
