Auto Credit Based on WalrusAircraft's The Red Baron

I really love Walrus Aircraft's Red Baron Fokker D.III triplane, but the one thing that really bugged me about it and many other bi- and triplanes was that the propellers on the front don't spin on their own. They just hang limply like decorative things, betraying the aircraft's hidden internal jet engine. So, I added some stuff. I added VTOL nozzles to the propeller to make it spin like a proper propeller and a military-esque cart to the side to house the VTOL engine and some extra fuel. Press one to detatch the cart. Then throttle up to 7% to move the cart. When it is out of the way, press one again to turn off the cart's engine to save fuel. Throttle up to 100 to fly. Walrus Aircraft's original description and instructions read:"No introduction is needed for this this famous flyer. Hands on the controls when you first take off since it has a lot of lift and is quite agile. Good luck and good hunting!" I added with the prop function a boost and a brake. Push the VTOL slider forward to boost and pull back for brake. Forward=Faster, Backward=Brake. Got it? Good. Good luck and good hunting!
