You need any ASGARD sender to use some features of this creation
Check out the ASGARD collection to find some builds and subassemblies

Initial Setup:
1.Choose the used frequency. 112 is standard and is the one frequency that must be supported by all ASGARD creations. ASGARD always uses two frequencies. The one you set and that value +1. The other one sets automatically so just make sure your frequencies are the same on all creations
2. If needed, fuel ASGARD and relocate it to an open location. ASGARD will always land facing north!
3. To easily move Asgard without towing, initiate Hover mode, and then “forward” mode. You can guide it on-foot from the front. Press confirm again to stop the hovering.
4. Create a waypoint on relatively flat land somewhere on the map. This will be ASGARD home point.
5. Enter the waypoint into the keypad and use the “Base Coords” function. Then, use the “Base return” function to send Asgard there

Automated rescue mode:
Asgard will automatically enter idle mode and wait for a rescue signal.
It will only react to a´signal if is in idle and not during flight
1. To call for rescue, use the separate workshop Radio upload on its own or paste it on your own creation.
You can also use other ASGARD creations like the Power RHIB https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1753729206 to test it
2. When activated, the radio will automatically signal the nearest ASGARD within 40KM.
4.Stay where you are. ASGARD will always use the coordinates send when the signal was activated
3. It will now fly to you. Enter the harness when it arrives and press 1 when all passengers are abord. ASGARD will now fly you to its home point and then resume idle status. (You can always use taxi mode during flight to have it drop you off at any location)

Taxi Mode:
1. Enter the harness on the rear of ASGARD, and enter your desired destination in the keypad.
2. Scroll to Taxi mode and confirm.
3.To change if ASGARD should wait or not toggle wait in menu screen 0. false means it will take of and head back to it´s parking coordinates as soon as everyone is out. Otherwise it will stay and wait until you press 1

Discovery Mode:
1. Set "Wait" to "false" in menu 0
2. Enter the coordinates the Drone should uncover and enter them in the keypad
3.Use taxi mode but do not enter. The drone will uncover the map for you

EMP safety features (aktivity indicated by the altitude being drawn in orange)
During or when a storm is about to happen ASGARD will
1.Fly at an higher altitude to be able to revover from multiple EMP´s even over land
2.Rotate the rotator about 8% faster to have it spinn down less and spin up faster
3.Climb first and then travel after EMP
All these features make it almost fail proof except for a very small window during landing

FAQ:
Can I use multiple to cover a larger are?
Yes you can. Only the closest ASGARD Drone will respond for any rescue operation

Can I use this in Multiplayer?
It can be used but sadly desyncing of the lua script is a major problem at the moment. We hope future updates fix this

Could you make the user interface look prettier?
I would love to. Unfortunately It is currently impossible due to the character limitation. Even with a minifier it uses close to the max characters

Can this be used in water?
No. ASGARD is currently unable to take off from water. We are trying to fix this currently.

ASGARD does not react when i press the button
1.Is the power switch on the sender turned on?
2.Are you within reach of an ASGARD drone?
3.Did you enter coordinates that are not 0,0? (For systems that require manual coordinate input)
4.Did you press the button twice? If so the currently active ASGARD will have shut down and stay shut down untill you reset it at the tail rotor. This is to prevent a crashed ASGARD to prevent rescue from another drone

If you have any further questions just ask them in the comments. I‘ll reply and add them here for others to read

You want to make your own creation with ASGARD support? Great!
Just use the ASGARD Sender subassembly and paste it into your ship, link either the ASGARD collection or the ASGARD Drone so people now what to use it with and comment in here or the collection with a link to your creation so i can check it out.
