Super Caracal - Variant A

Description
Work Not in progress anymore.

Super Caracal - Variant B released here.

Super Caracal - Variant A (2020-2024)
Version without modules there.
Multi-role bi-rotor helicopter with thrust propulsion for fast rescue operations, crew, cargo and medium vehicule transportation.

Top Speed: 150 m/s - 290 knots - 540 km/h
Cruise speed: 90 m/s - 175 knots - 325 km/h
Fuel consumption at full speed: 27'000 L/100km
Range at full speed: 330 km (+125 km with Jet-A1 module)

Cargo bay size:
Width:5.75 m - Height: 3.25 m - Length: 9.00 m

The loading deck can connect to 1.0 ISO (11x11x29 and 11x11x15), AISO (11x11x27 and 11x11x13) and "old" ISO (9x9x12 and 9x9x24) containers.

Guide:
Start up
  • Switch on the main battery
  • Switch on avionics
  • Turn on the engine
  • Engage ignition booster for faster startup
  • When engine start up, engage rotor clutch
  • When the rotor RPS is in the green, increase the collective (check Collective dial above co-pilot seat) and you are ready to go

Thrust
The jet engine also generates thrust. Thrust can be increased/decreased to increase/decrease speed.
  • 1: Increase thrust
  • 2: Decrease thrust
Heli mode: Thrust < 50%
Fly it like an helicopter
  • A/D : Roll
  • W/S: Pitch
  • Left/Right: Yaw (to turn)
  • Up/Down: Collective
With thrust between 0% and 50%, turning using yaw allows easy curves as the Super Caracal reduces the lateral speed with "auto-roll".

Gyro mode: Thrust > 50%
Fly it like a plane
  • A/D : Roll (to turn)
  • W/S: Pitch
  • Left/Right: Yaw
  • Up/Down: Inoperent

Turbine Throttle
Increase or decrease Turbine throtlle with touchscreen. Turbine RPS has 7 positions. 3 is default. It increases and decreases turbine RPS, increasing and decreasing thrust (more speed in gyro mode) and allowing more weight load (in heli mode).
In heli mode, Turbine RPS position is clamped between 1 and 5.
Rotor RPS is locked at 60RPS for turbine position 3 to 7 and "free" for position 1 and 2.
For fast Rotor clutch engagement, engage then disengage and re-engage.

Modules
The Super Caracal comes with modules that can be loaded in the cargo bayby connecting it to the deck. The Jet-A1 module can refuel the main fuel tank.
  • Start with the module connector that is in the cargo bay tilted up (default position)
  • Turn on the module main swtich and 4 upper connectors
  • Hover above the module, be careful with the roof...not much space...
  • Open the bay hatch using upper panel switch
  • Use the deck to connect and raise the module (not the central hook)
  • Close the bay hatch using upper panel switch
  • Switch off the deck 4 connectors
  • The module should connect with the tracks if correctly aligned. It generally does and slide to the back of the cargo bay. If it does not connect to the tracks, try to reconnect/disconnect with the deck.
  • Go to the cargo bay
  • On the module, turn off 4 upper connectors and turn on the front connector
  • In the cargo bay, tilt the module connector
  • With the cargo bay cable, connect and pull the module so it connects to electric and fluid connectors
List of modules:

Features:
- GPS Autopilot with auto-stop at waypoint
- Altitude stabilisation system in all configurations & attitudes
- 2 Water canon controlled with camera
- Medical room with 4 med beds and 2 normal beds
- Front AUX fuel tank with pumps in/out
- Main battery and AUX battery for low-battery startup
- Ignition booster for faster engine startup and allowing startup with low battery
- Fuel hose, fuel can be pumped in and pumped out
- Electric cable connector in the cargo bay, the SC can recharge or be recharged from any external electric sources
- Battery booster doubling the recharge rate
- 3 illumination parachutes
- 1 module with 34'000 L Jet-A1 fuel (additional range at full speed: 125 km, 1.3× a trip to the arctic)

Hey, you managed to tickle my curiosity. I am now flying the SC to assess its current behaviours.
Ty for your feedback. I plan to release a 2024 update "soon". I keep the skeleton, i am thinking about updating all automatic systems, avionics and autopilot first.
See you soon it seems. ;)
Aetherwisp 28 Jun @ 12:09pm 
but these have definitely aged well at least for me
Aetherwisp 28 Jun @ 12:08pm 
tho stormworks did make a update to how pipes work so you may wanna do a full run over and make sure nothing is broken that I didn't notice
Aetherwisp 28 Jun @ 12:07pm 
the composite is the only broken thing to my knowledge
D_Bones  [author] 21 Jun @ 4:22am 
damn, all those composite signals will take time for my brain to get back into.
I am lol here...
D_Bones  [author] 21 Jun @ 4:21am 
or just, please update ? :)
D_Bones  [author] 21 Jun @ 4:13am
