Description
The Redhawk VTOL Mk.I is my first attempt at creating a multi-role VTOL aircraft in the Coast Guard / rescue response series. Although it still requires some tweaking, it's currently fairly stable, easy to use and performs well for most rescue/delivery operations.

I started working on this in August 2020 but put it aside for months as I had no knowledge of how VTOLs work. Special thanks to Bumblemert for letting me use his avionics microprocessor!


UPDATED - 20th August 2021

- Added radar (center MFD).


Features

1. Quadruple jet engines.
2. Altitude hold & Autopilot.
3. Rear cargo space.
4. Retractable landing gear.
5. Various winches for towing, lifting & rescue harness.
6. Stabilized gimbal camera.
7. Adjustable searchlight.
8. Radio communications & touchscreen map.
9. Flares for countermeasure or area illumination.
10. Air to air refueling boom.
11. Fire hydrant for firefighting purposes.
12. Remote control for operating main & harness winches.
- Radio Channel : 7
- Open or close bottom hatch : 1
- Main winch control : W/S
- Harness winch control : U/D


Specifications

- Fuel : 36k liters (jet fuel)
- Top speed : 272 kph
- 2 crew, 12 passenger seats
- 2 medical beds


Instructions

Basic Flight

1. Switch on overhead Main Power & Engine Starter.
2. Switch on Auto Hover.
3. Wait till RPM reaches RDY mode on MFD.
4. Release Wheel Brakes and press W to exit hangar (Down key for braking).
5. Press Up to lift off or use Set Altitude.
6. Fly off into the sunset.

*WARNING*

a. Always take off and land vertically.
b. Autopilot will automatically engage airplane mode. Try to get some horizontal speed (+150kph) before switching on autopilot or entering plane mode.
c. Engine throttle default is set to 40 RPS and is more than sufficient for normal operations. 45+ RPS will cause the aircraft to vibrate.
d. Stabilized gimbal will not work while landed.


Aerial Refueling

1. Locate aerial tanker on map (marked as Jet Fuel Gantry) and fly towards it.
2. Set altitude to 296.5m (Vertically aligns with basket).
3. Extend refuel boom (overhead console) and set center MFD to Boomcam (for easier approach and alignment).
4. Tap (don't press) on 5 or 6 keys to increase or decrease throttle and get closer.
5. Once connected, set throttle to 33.40 to match speed (218.7 KPH).
6. Once fuel tank is full (34141 liters), release connector (overhead console) and continue mission.



Takes a few practices to connect but otherwise not that hard.

Please do not re-upload my creations under any circumstances. Making modifications to suite your own personal needs is fine but do not upload them to the workshop. It takes days, weeks and sometimes months to create a single ship or aircraft. Blatantly stealing someone else's work and uploading them as your own is NOT cool.

just find the fuel tanks and add a vent with a gas relief to each one, that would solve ur problem

plane rapidly begins to loose power and fall out of the sky once the fuel tank hits 52 percent. I cove this plane so much! Please fix!

Please make a part two a little bigger cargo hold in the back and right behind the ramp, Make it where you can put a cargo container or oil creates:steamhappy:

even with auto hover on, when trying to leave the hangar sometimes it just slams the rotors forward into the ground

Autopilot is weird now after new update

My first (and so far only) creation in this game was a somewhat decent replica of the V-22 Osprey, so when I saw this on one of MrNJersey's videos I immediately took notice.
I'm guessing you took inspiration from the Osprey, giving it a bit of a jumbo jet nose.
Very cool indeed.

this thing is STRONG it can lift another one of these and fly no problem, me and my friend use this for recovering sunken ships
