A-27 Apparition

Apparition is a private rescue craft with the ability to continue using modular engines to a depth of -60.

I'm calling the water jet reverse VTOL VSAR right now for vertical submersion and resurfacing.

Specs
- Top Speed of 210 m/s or 750 kph
- Top Range at 370km
- VTOL / VSAR / Plane / Helicopter capabilities
- Live system displays
- Airlocks
- Cargo / Rescue Capabilities
- Modular Engines with Jet engine boosters
- Airtight landing gear
- Autopilot with automatic transition when destination is reached (will stop and hover at destination)
- Underwater controls with anchoring ability to achieve depths up to -160m.
- Adjustable Speeds / altitude control.
- Swiss army equivalent of winch adapters for the rear winches.

Startup
- Enable the big cockpit display on the main console and follow instructions.
- Controls are as listed with Co-pilot controls always engaged as well.

Underwater / VSAR
- Shut Off air intakes
- Fill Airtanks
- Once in the water toggle VSAR
- Press down key to make your desent
- Vehicle caps out at -60 (now -45 after last couple updates) with engine operation (forward / backward and turning capabilities)

Further Underwater
- Anchor option will attach vehicle to ocean floor (up to -100m for a total of -160)
- Once anchors are attached press the down key again to pull vehicle to the ocean floor
- Control panel in the rear of the ship for some winch adjustments (to help level vehicle with uneven ocean floor)


Experimental S Drive (WARNING - Not winch friendly)
- In multiplayer winches lock into invisible airspace and slingshot the vehicle around.
- In singleplayer winches will wildly smack the vehicle causing minor damage until it hits something vital...
-Both can be prevented by dropping winch attachments before ripping a hole in reality.
- Engines do not like this and will overheat (Watch your temps / warnings)
- S Drive (Speed drive? is not utilizing some unknown Stormworks science just gearing with engines and I figured It needed a button to engage with a cool name)

Tips and Tricks
- Don't mess up!
- Up / Down VTOL takes a second to adjust (press up and give it a second when in close quarters)
- Base VTOL is under a lot of gearing and is not very powerful but is efficient. Rapid VTOL mode is the opposite with more sensitive controls.
*Fill air tanks when vehicle is off sitting on the water to avoid air tanks bugging out

Help
- I probably forgot something important :/
- This build took some time with numerous breaks and trying other project ideas.
- Let me know if you find any bugs or flaws that I can try and work out.
- Thanks!
