YV6 - V/STOL

Description
This is a maneuverable jet that can also fly in VTOL & STOL mode, with a topspeed of 226 m/s or 440 KTS. Apart from being able to VTOL, it also have 2 internal weapon bays with space of 3x3x17, which is ideal for stealth or just a surprice attack. Inside the cockpit are luxurious displays and easy to read buttons as well as controls, and in case of an emergency, the jet also have an ejection seat.


How To Fly
Upon spawning you may notice it only spawns with internal missiles (R20A), but for external missiles or fuel tanks, they are needed to be placed manually, but are already made, so you just paste them in with selection tool and done.

In the seat you can read the seat controls [H], that also explains the seat buttons.
To start the engine, it's done by increasing the throttle lever by hand or by pressing [Up arrow/Collective].

To your right side at the front of all the buttons, there's the switch to "Release parking brakes", so you can start moving. Also to the right side are all the switches for light and to enable "MFD power" (The 2x2 monitor), as well as the button to arm the pylons, to enable firing the missiles or jettison the droptanks by [4] when selected.

When started it won't shutdown even with the throttle to 0, but that makes you have better control for taxing the jet, as you can steer by yaw, and if you keep pressing down [Down arrow/Collective] it will enable variable brakes to slow down, giving you a lot of ground control.

To shutdown the jet engine, you set the throttle to 0, and make sure you are not in VTOL nor STOL mode. Afterwards when you leave the seat, it will shutdown.



WPT AP
To use WPT AP (Waypoint auto-pilot), you go to the 2nd page on your MFD, which then shows the map. (On the map you can also see other vehicles who have the link 35 datalink, so if 2 YV6s are spawned, you can see eachother. You can also see YV5s.)
When pressing on the map, you will be placing waypoints, which you can place multiple of.
C will clear all the waypoints. N skips the next waypoint, and R removes the last placed waypoint.
Then to Activate AP, you do as written in [H] in seat, the buttons to start AP is by pressing [1]+[3]. If there are no waypoints or it finished the route, WPT AP disables by itself. Remember to activate Keep ALT manually.



Used Microcontrollers:
Plane Altitude Hold
Tajin's Fully configurable GPS Autopilot

Yeah, this is an old jet with a few issues now due to all the newer features that has come, so currently the only attachment that'll work are with the older pylons before the weapon DLC.
RAM6 has been updated to the hardpoint connectors, but I'm not currently planning to update this in the near future.

I'm currently working on a new V/STOL jet, in which the F35 is the main reference used.

How do I connect the RAM6? It has a different connector to the aircraft
I flew too far 29 Dec, 2021 @ 4:43am 
its really astonishing how this plane is still so great i really hope that this vehicle would be updated. But i am don't want to push you, you gave this to us after all and i don't want to be rude.
So Cheers have a nice day/holiday.

Can you update the jet to have hardpoint connectors?

Sorry for the late reply, I completely understand. Still by far the most capable fighter jets on the workshop!

The behaviour you're expecting is called banking - stormworks' physics engine doesn't really allow aircraft to bank, since the reason the aircraft are flying at all is the thrust of the engine. Lift force of wing blocks is not large enough compared to the drag to allow for it. It's also the reason to why aircraft don't glide in this game.

However, the banking effect can be simulated using hidden fins. The downside of this is that you lose a lot of speed, so that's why people don't do it on many creations, us included.

This is one of my fav jets, but I have one issue with it. This issue plagues many aircraft in stormworks and I'm not sure if it is a simple fix: you can't turn it by rolling. This makes doing any kind of turn a huge pain as you have to use the rudder (which doesn't work very well on any aircraft) or roll so the jet is sideways and then pitch up.

It already have aerial refueling, albeit not fully implementet. There's a fluid connector infront of the top beacon, which is connected to the fuel tank, but there isn't any logic to disconnect it from seat.

I'm not going to fix that, so you either have to be heroic and walk on the jet to disconnect once done, or have a random button or something which will do it.
It's actually not so hard to walk on the jet while flying straight and leveled, unless the aerial refueler plane changes heading and start slinging you around.

can u add ariel refueling
