'Roc' mk1 Air Carrier (Advanced) [Outdated]

OUTDATED - SEE 'Roc" MkII

This is a re-upload of Krail's popular " 'Roc' mk1 Air Carrier " that has been greatly reworked to balance perfectly and operate in Advanced Mode instead of normal.

It features automatic hold altitude '2' key at helm or by pressing the toggle next to the helm.

Accelerating too quickly with the main thrusters will cause the carrier to pitch positive, this can be corrected by applying negative pitch control with the 'W' key.

The vehicle has approximately 250 minutes of flight time on its four jet fuel tanks.

Jet fuel, diesel fuel, and electrical power connections are available to vehicles in the hold.

Side harnesses can be lowered to rescue 8 people from the water at a time.

Warnings
=========================================================================

As the Air Carrier is designed for long sustained hover, covering vast distances can be draining on its eletrical reserves. Before flying a long distance with the carrier, engage manual generators (this will result in the generators always being on rather than only engaging when battery is below 75%) - this will consume more fuel but it has minimal impact.

Known Bugs
=========================================================================

Currently, Stormworks does not support speeds over 200 MPH. As this is the case, the flight throttle is limited and traveling over 200 MPH can cause rapid aggressive shaking and loss of control. Unfortunately this is for all vehicles and not just the air carrier.

Taking off quickly after startup can occasionally cause the air carrier to "jump" up and down as it works to stabalize its height. You can avoid this by holding the "down arrow key" for descending altitude during startup and then in burst engage the "up arrow key" for lift-off.
