@bumblebert the autopilot needs fixing

how do you load a container?

I know that you can defib them

@Getoofed0190 np, you can defib NPCs for a while after their heath bar is empty.

I've a VTOL container hauler in my workshop but yeah that's not a cargo aircraft. I'm making a Pelican-1 (Helldivers 2) variant for a while it will be released soon. After that maybe I can modernize some designs and add new versions for older aircrafts. Especially for this one.

@bumblemert Nevermind it because the NPCs were dead. It took me and my brother to figure it out. Thanks. Also, think you should make a cargo crate VTOL.

@Getoofed0190 that's a new one, not sure about it

Why can't I place NPCs in the seats or the harnesses

@resident the jets are too high, so the center of thrust is higher than the center of mass, which is around the middle of the fuselage, so the vtol tips down and crashes.


there's the physics nerd's explanation

I dont know what the ♥♥♥♥ that means but ok

@everyone Afterburner function has been removed. This is because it is impossible to align the center of thrust with the center of mass without drastically changing the design of the aircraft.

the afterurners make the aircraft pitch down into the ocean or spins it in a circle

@Vinitatore After space dlc things changed a lot. Now afterburners should be aligned with center of gravity otherwise activating them destabilises the flight controls. I've fixed the same issue in single engined Blue Hawker Gunship by adding some control surfaces. I'll also fix these big boys soon.

Going into afterburner mode while in plane mode causes it to spaz out and crash.

Another issue, that I think is only related to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stormworks engine, is that when going into the map it, or any other vehicle, freezes until you teleport away from it. I'm only adding this part because I'm trying to figure out if its a widely known glitch.

@Stormtrucker29 thank you so much man! I'd like to make more creations but it's very time consuming. I test drive/fly all of my creations a lot to make them almost perfect.

@MrMajor it may be a bug or something else with new updates mate, sorry for the late answer but I'll check it.

@PanzerKampfIceKreamWagen thank you mate, it's great to hear that it can be easily get modified for different scenarios.

I love this vtol. I think this was my was my first workshop think that I downloaded. And just gotta say good work dude.

P.S I love all of your creations they are all the best,

I was absolutely loving this aircraft till, for some reason or another, near the pipeline pumping station (alta addon) I was VTOL and it suddenly started olting like there was a wire tied onto it, holding it from going a certain direction.

I absolutely adore this series of aircraft. A pleasure to fly and so easy to adapt and outfit in different ways. I fly with a team of 3 other dudes and we have 4 different variants of this aircraft for different tasks because of how versatile this air-frame is. Cannot recommend enough

The autopilot Is different

@Citizen 246 glad to hear that you come back and appreciate both my old (v10 is really futureproof then) and recent vehicles mate. I really love to make functional vtol aircrafts and l'm really proud these new models, thank you! I'm focused on small vehicles nowadays but there will be new models coming this year. I know that game is constantly changing but there's nothing like stormworks out there and I still love this game.

@bumblemert I can only imagine. Every update comes with a chance of the laws of physics being changed in unannounced (or unintended) ways. In a round-about way, it's what brought me to the Warden. After returning to Stormworks and finding my usual helicraft turned into bricks, my save of your old V10 BH still worked like a champ. Made me wonder what else you'd made since then, and here we are.
I've made my peace with the lower particle count for now. I like the aesthetic design too much to change it, and have been making my usual personal adjustments to it. Even if it's got issues due to the last update, this'll be my mainstay for awhile. It may not be able to land in the water like the V10, but the design is worth that sacrifice in my opinion.

TL;DR: I'm glad you're still making things, despite how frustrating it may be.

I wonder if the issue is still present if you fold the engine fairing onto it using pivots, idk if it will help but its something to try, ill test latet today once im back at my pc

@Citizen 246 ahhh this game is killing me dude. I've fixed the issue by changing the engine design (now it looks a little bit ugly). I also lowered the jet exhaust because of a new bug caused by afterburners, where the center of gravity is lower than the center of thrust, which wasn’t a problem before.

@bumblemert It gets weirder, because it's a game bug(likely due in thanks to sledgehammer balancing). After troubleshooting this thing into the ground I figured out that the exhaust from the Afterburner is "catching" on the decorative fairing blocks on the outside of the afterburner cowl. If you scalp the top of the fairing the overlaps the Afterburner, and trim the left side down to where the fuel intake is on the right, the exhaust stops catching.

Anything between that mid-left side and the top will bring back the smoke signal. It's just bizarre that only the left Afterburner is claustrophobic. It'd make a bit more sense if it was both.

I have found it to be recurring problem in the game, I recommend just switching particles to reduced

it is an odd issue

@Citizen 246 I also cannot find the solution for this issue. Weird thing is only left engine makes this. If you find the problem can you please tell me?

Both this and the Heavy Gunship variant are now flying smoke bombs due to the exhaust. Unless I'm missing something painfully obvious.

beautiful interior design, this inspired me to start building lol

it has longer range tho

@Jim the Pilot no krimwand is the king. This is a ♥♥♥♥ vehicle.

would you say thisd is better than the k-1 rescue heli

I really like your craft, I would like the plane to switch to helicopter mode when it reaches the autopilot point

@Kosmonavt sure I can add that.

Pls add gps hold position

the way this thing moves is basically exactly the same as the Samson and scorpion move and operate so I would love to see it!

Could you attempt to recreate the AT-99 Scorpion Gunship from the first Avatar movie? As well as possibly the SA-2 Samson?

me will make it try to survive high wind and lighting

how do i start it

man u needa make more search and rescue vtols and maybe vtol gunships

Less sit and 1 medical bed is possible ? Nice work.

@RBerry435 it's not really auto, you have to push repair button once to start 10 seconds repairing process (it consumes so much electricity so I connected it to a timer). During that progress all missing propeller blades will be replaced, engines and rotor pivots will be repaired too. It is more like an emergency repair button and very useful in military operations but I kept the repairing system in this SAR model too in case of accidents or etc.

Mind as well ask, how does the autorepair system work? Does it adjust the rpm to counteract damages or

@Anvil check out my workshop page. There are 3 military vtol aircrafts there.

@RBerry435 yes original one don't have a refilling hose. New system is way more practical, glad you liked it. Blue Hawker V10 is my first VTOL creation so I was very unexperienced with the building mechanics and microcontrollers. This was also started as a very basic project but somehow become a little bit complicated with ramp, doors, winches, flight mods, advanced avionics, collision avoidance system, self repair, water cannon etc. I'll probably make more VTOL aircrafts, a small diesel powered career starter VTOL can me my next project.

yeah never figured about the high center of weight lmfao, i crashed it into the sawyer ocean and jets did a funny, i was originally complaining because i didn't realize the water refill bucket thing winches downwards, unlike the original which sits and refills instead of does it in the air. really efficient for rescues especially with the fast winch and the ability for the door to suck the winch in and close and then reopen, way better than the original version - not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it because of lack of waterproofing especially with how more efficient it is compared to the original version.

@RBerry435 sorry for your disappointment about waterproofing. It is not possible for this version to float because the center of weight is too high.

Is there a combat version of this?

and now im disappointed as the original verson is still better since it has water proofing

wasn't there a v1 for this? love this vtol design and excited it was finally reborn

Hey everyone, sorry to say that I won't be able to update these last creations soon. I'm studying on my phd thesis. After this June there will be more updates and new creations. Take care and fly safe.
