H-487 Harriers, Attack Helicopter

Description
Hi hi hi :)))))))

I built this. A multigrid, two-seat helicopter.

Runs on electricity, and uses atmospheric thrusters. The rotors are animated and can be toggled with the engine. You can find this on the pilot seat toolbar 2-9. You get to see the rotor blades speeding up XD. The cockpit hatch can be opened from the sides. It can also toggle using toolbar 2-8 for the pilot, or toolbar 1-9 if you are in the gunner seat. The Gatling turret under the nose is controlled using turret block, so you know the drill. Other than that, there are 4 autocannons and 4 rocket launchers.

!!! Remember to manually align the turret back to the forward position for landing !!!. Otherwise, it will poke the ground.

This helicopter was actually not that hard to design since there is no oxygen supply or fuel systems etc. There are only downward thrusters so the flying is somewhat similar to a real helicopter. You tilt in the direction you want to go. This is controlled by a script.

See below to find the link for more information. But basically, there are 3 flight modes available in the pilot seat toolbar options. 1st is the normal mode, this will drastically tilt the aircraft for better acceleration. 2nd is the aiming mode, this stops the script from automatically tilting the aircraft. 3rd is the landing mode, this limits the tilt angle of the helicopter.

Aight, enjoy then.

Thanks. Couldn't find anything on Google about needing to sub to the scripts listed in the mod, so I thought I should ask.

no, scripts are written in the computer blocks in the blueprint.

Stupid question I have due to my inexperience: Do I have to subscribe to the script mods?

@TRAV. Just wanted to give you a shout out for fixing the cockpit canopy so quickly. 10/10 design all around. This is honestly my favorite attack helicopter so far. I demand more lol.
