Jet Vtol Controller Fully-Tunable with 2 Vtol Types[6x4]

Description
REMINDER: THIS MICROCONTROLLER WILL CONTINUE GETTING UPDATED WHENEVER I FIND AND FIX ISSUES OR ADD NEW IMPROVEMENTS.
Please remember to like and add this to favorite so this mc can also help other people.
Minimum Block Requirements:
  1. 4x Rotary Jet Exhaust(1 each side)
  2. 1x Gyro(This provides you Hover Mode and Cruise Mode)
  3. 1 Jet Engine(Depending on how heavy your vtol will be but for starters I’d recommend just 1)
  4. Linear Sensor Facing Forward(Directional)
  5. Jet Vtol Controller
Recommended Block Requirements:
  1. 4x Rotary Jet Exhaust(1 each side)(Depending how heavy your vtol will be or how long)
  2. 2+ Horizontal Jet Exhaust(Depending how fast you want to go on plane mode)(But this will also help with the transitioning between vtol to plane mode.)
  3. 2x Gyro(This provides you Hover Mode, Plane Mode, and Cruise Mode)
  4. 1 Jet Engine(Depending on how heavy your vtol will be.)
  5. Linear Sensor Facing Forward(Directional)
  6. Jet Vtol Controller

Vtol Types
  • Forward/Backward Vtol Type - This type will act as if when you press W Keybind it will go forward same thing when you press S Keybind it will go backward. So it doesn't need to pitch at all when going fwd/bwd.
  • Heli Vtol Type - What the title says, it would act/fly like a helicopter. So meaning when you press W Keybind it would pitch down so you could start going forward. Same thing when you press S Keybind it would pitch up so it can start going backwards.
-The rest of the controls such as Yaw, Roll, and Up/Down are same. Just the W/S is the only difference on Vtol Mode. More about the controls in the next section.

Cruising Modes
  • Cruise Mode - This mode utilizes the 1st Gyro to be used on Vtol Mode and whenever this mode is activated, it will follow and hold the angle you have inputted to it through the Number Input in the MC itself. This will then make the Vtol Creation move horizontally whilst keeping the Vtol Controls intact and at a maneuverable cruising speed. This mode is commonly use for short cruising trips and will make walking possible at a stable speed pace while your Vtol is cruising forward.
  • Plane Mode - This mode utilizes the 2nd gyro to cruise even greater speeds, commonly used for long range trips. This does not keep Vtol Controls intact since exhaust will either be tilted fully or deactivated depending on the plane behavior.

Up and down dont work and it also doesnt level itself, i've been trying to copy the setup as it is on the example crafts but its just confusing

this works so great thank you! i've used many of your UNSC creations, i would be interested in covenant stuff too if thats on your agenda! (covenant stuff is hard as heck to make i've tried, but i have faith in you!)

where would i put the 2nd gyro
meloeh 3 Mar, 2023 @ 9:14am

I'm glad to hear that :)

Both MC and Vehicle worked, This Micro controller still works very well
Niceguygamer  [author] 27 Feb, 2023 @ 2:50am 
I'll continue the conversation at Discord.

I've figured out on the helicopter mode (plane mode still doesn't work unfortunately), Is there any way i could Import the 4 seat hotkey (1: gyro 2: Plane mode 3: Switch Vtol and 4: FWD/BWD into Instrumental panel? I've only seen Composite 2, 3, 4. Didn't find the one for Gyro on off

The mc is quite complicated to set up, so I completely understand the frustration. I mean it's better to be complicated than so simple to set up since most simple stuff lacks the flexibility to tune/have the right settings for your VTOL. Therefore leading to unforeseen problems, but once I get your xml, I'll tell you what's wrong so you can see what's up.

Hmm that's weird, last time I check the mc is working fine as I did my recent VTOL. Hold on, add me on discord and I will fix it for you. Then I'll tell you the issues that might have gone wrong in your setup. Niceguygamer#5431
