Basic VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing)

Ву ZillyMayte.

1 Glider Cockpit
4 Propulsion units (Fans)
4 Fuselage Parts:
- 1 Neck Segment
- 3 Body Segments
- 1 Tail Start Segment (1.5 length, shrink end to min, raise 3 clicks)
- 1 Tail End Segment (0.8 length, stretch end wide 2 clicks)
4 Rotation Joints
20 Solar Panels (for electric version)
2 Tail Wings (Best available)

Initial Build: Assemble the core structure (cockpit, fuselage segments, tail wings, propulsion, rotation joints) aiming to match the provided image as closely as possible.

Solar Panel Integration: Carefully place and rotate the 20 solar panels onto the aircraft structure, ensuring they are hidden from external view.
Control Setup: Assign preferred keys to the rotation joints (recommended: ‘S’ for left rotation, ‘W’ for right rotation).
Fine-Tuning: Adjust the position of the rotation joints so they are equidistant from the aircraft’s center of gravity.

Recommendation: Disable the ‘auto balance’ feature in the game’s options menu.
Takeoff (General): The game currently has issues with VTOL stability. Always angle propulsion slightly forward before takeoff to maintain camera control.
Light Takeoff: Set propulsion power to 10%-15%. Practice VTOL controls at this low power.
Max Takeoff: Rotate joints as needed and apply maximum power.
General Flying: Expect some wobbliness. To turn, roll the aircraft left or right and then adjust the propulsion angle to flatten the turn.
Landing:
- As you approach the landing area, rotate propulsion fully backward to act as brakes.
- Once speed is reduced, set power back to 10%-15%.
- Slowly decrease power further for a gentle touchdown.
