Thunderbolt-X2 Speedboat [545MPH - 877KMH]

There is an included targeting system, and a remote drone for scouting and additional targeting, this allows for a gunner to fire on the move,
or allow for very accurate long range attacks.


I have included an (untested) automated flare launcher, but AtG missile can be very effective, and I can't trust that it'll save you,
you are better off pulling an SR-71 and outrunning whatever is attempting to attack you.
There is an additional front facing window shield, it was meant as extra armor, but honestly is just there for fun.


It's not an amazing build, and was more of a challenge, and something to fill out the other side of the cabin,
it works well until you get a couple KM away from the craft and some logic stops working, and thus stopping your ability to aquire target info.
the flight systems work decently well, but there is one thing to note, descending while performing any other navigational input can flip the drone,
and drop it into Davy Jones's. -Fix attempted, further testing required


Operation is rather straightforward, simply enable power once inside (Located by the stairs towards the stern of the cabin),
then once in the left seat, you enable the engine, and set your desired RPS on the upper control Console, it will spool when you attempt to accelerate.
Unrestriced mode can be found downstair above the terminal inside the engine room, this allows for the full 200 RPS of the engine,
but has no observable benefit to speed or acceleration.
The TSD map is currently only available for drone tracking, but will be used as an additional targeting system with further updates.


There is a damage control cabinet downstairs, and equipment slots under the stairway,
and an additional shelf in the engine room for various items.
There are two pistols hidden in the craft, one inside the bedroom in one of the bed legs,
the other in the engine room to the bottom left of the terminal inside the bulkhead frame.
These allow for breaking the doors incase of power or sensor failure, or a quick grab gun in the worst case scenarios.


V-1.0:
Craft Released

V-1.1:
Minor drone update - logic simplified, made room for gps system, increased stability, fixed power drain, increased fuel.
Cosmetic changes, 4 bladed rotors added to keep up with increased fuel, added RPS dial at console.


-Investigate and fix instrument panel bool issue, as they seem unable to control and pass along bool values to other MCs.

-Reverse does not behaive correctly, and requires I revamp my instrument panels first. The craft will reverse,
but without being able to invert the output of the stability system, it will plunge the craft underwater.

-The fluid jet right deflectors have a rouge value of .005 on the right side, not entirely sure where it originates because the math seems to check out,
this does not seem to affect stability, but it is an undesired result and may cause unforseen issues if not adressed.

-Cruise control does not want to work, despite the logic seeming correct, this may be do to the intrument panel issue.
You can current combat this issue by holding Alt and setting your forward throttle trim.

-Rear yaw control fins were disabled to test the fluid jet deflectors, they either need to be removed, or re-implemented.

-Drone is in need of a revamp, as the logic is scattered and needlessly complex, including the aforemention collective issue,
this will include a gps waypoint system for easily controlling where it is, and simplifying the recovery process.
Additionally, I would like it to float, to aid recovery incase it does fall out of the sky. -Deemed infeasible.

-TSD needs RADAR integration, and ability to communicate both ways with AWACS.
I also desire to be able to use the touchscreen to select RADAR targets, and share them over network, or target them with the cannon.

-Fairlink integration

-workshop page improvements
