Vickers Viking VC1

The Vickers VC.1 Viking was an airliner derived from the wellington bomber. It was further developed into a jet transport aircraft and also military transports such as the Vickers Valetta and Varisty. It first flew in 1946 and saw service up until 1954, serving both the military in multiple countries but also Airlines Globally. 163 were produced in total before being retired and only 2 surviving examples are here today.


Welcome for my second piston engine release! My version of the Vickers viking is approximately 1:1 as best you can do in Stormworks with a custom cabin and cockpit. I have also included a basic autopilot for heading and altitude and also my Basic navigation computer, first introduced in my Boeing 247 (Found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3020148100 ) and can be used for ILS approaches. The guide for use is as follows:

Basic nav guide:
1) Decide your target point (preferrably on a centre line at the runway end) and the heading
2) In Keypad A add your target heading and then hit the bottom right button on the screen. This will display your target for a brief time.
3) Now use keypad A and B to add the X and Y accordingly.
4) It is now set up! To get it into ILS mode, hit the Top left button, this will add a glide slope and localiser bar for your use.

The engines run using ZE Modular engine controller (Found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2416132817&searchtext=ZE+Modular ) and has a range of over 1000km. The Rudder will auto balance during turns to assist in keeping a sensible turning circle. This aircraft does also have flaps which makes it slightly floaty so take care.


The cockpit is almost a "Standard" one for me, everything is labelled and self explanatory, the engines will start at the flick of a switch.

I hope you all enjoy my 4th project, 2nd as of recently. Feedback is very much welcome! But for now safe flying and happy stormworksing!
