Skylark FRA-8127 - Fast Response VTOL Aircraft

描述
Yet another attempt at making the most versatile vehicle to complete missions. Helicopters can cover air land and sea pretty well, but moving fast from A to B can be challenge with only a top rotor. The solution: a tilt-rotor aircraft (similar to the iconic V-22 Osprey).

The controls can be a bit challenging since there are 2 flight modes, but they should be displayed in the interface. The main micro-controller also has a few auto-pilot options. In turn, these require some precautions. Mainly because of the use of PID's that may need resetting after long period of rest on uneven ground, as well as the turbine needing some time to increase or decrease it's RPS.
To be on the safe side, save often when learning to use the aircraft in case its behavior is not very clear yet.

To demonstrate the capabilities of this aircraft as well as the general workflow, a demo video is included on this page.

All Microcontrollers are of my own design.

Some features:
-In standard airplane flight: altitude and/or heading lock
-In VTOL: Auto-hover (with option for steady descent), XY lock
-Belly cam and light to assist in landings
-Floats on water with limited use of doors and hatches. Will not do well on too choppy waters and may flip over, prefer hover mode.
-2 medical beds, standard rescue, firefighting and repair equipment
-Significant passenger capacity
-Minimap with transponder locator

needs autopilot

any plans to add autopilot?

the landing gear shuts itself as soon as it spawns for me

does not fly, throttle isn't slaved to a key so you cant get it off the ground

Cant find light switch

-Side doors sometimes getting stuck: I have no idea why this is, I inspected the logic mutliple times, it sometimes behaves just right and sometimes not. I tried a few alternate combionations with toggles and pulses to no avail.
-Fuel efficiency: this is inherent to tilt rotor design. I'm not sure how the propeller's thrust and efficiency are modelled, but the props have to be somewhat small compared to the aircraft size (to be able to rotate around the wing without hitting the fuselage or the ground), meaning needing more blades or RPS to achieve the same lift which ultimately consumes more fuel.

Thank you all for your nice comments and feedback, I'll see which fixes I can implement.
Some things I can address already:
-I'm not sure adding a gyro will help? I prefer to rely on my own PID, the few times I used a gyro in helis did not pan out too well.
-You can move out of the hanger relatively easily just by going itno standard flight mode, releasing the landing gear handbrake, and giving 2 bars of throttle (thereabouts) to taxi at a slow pace.
-Unfortunately the landing gear are bit vulnerable to collapse, this is a problem I have with all planes unless they have fixed trains. Typical Stormworksn't. Be sure to run the Physics in High to reduce that risk. If that doesn't work, just rebuild the gear to be fixed, retracting them is mostly to imitate reality, but doesn't have a significant effect.

I love it, it's a really good craft, quite easy to learn how to fly this thing BUT:
1. Rear chasiss tend to "bend" backwards after landing and during taxi (I just swapped it with 5 blocks, the wheels and connected the Handbrake of all three wheels directly to the button of the handbrake)
2. Side doors sometimes won't close when sitting on controlling harness and pressing Space. Even buttons on the walls won't close it but eventually they close. What's the problem? I have no idea, but my suggestion it's the way how the game works (somehow)
3. Maaaaaaan this thing is HUNGRY for jet fuel, really really hungry

You made the home page! Well deserved!

@DeadPoolX its probably because it is not bound to a key on your keyboard yet. only hotkeys 1 through 6 are bound by default
