ColosSAR Vtol Capable 747 MK 27

ColosSAR Vtol capable 747.

The current pinnacle of my creations.

THIS IS A REFITTED VEHICLE.

You can find the original airframe here. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2195498245

As you can tell I have extensively refitted the original airframe.

I'm afraid I will not be able to quote all microcontrollers that have been used as I only know the ones I have added.

Unnecessary lengthy checklist. All creations have checklist these days.
Please find a link below to the ColosSAR Hand Book (Checklists And Emergency Procedures)

(I had to put it in a Office 365 file because it's too long.)

Currently Installed Systems

Roll Out Functionality.
This aircraft is equipped with a 'highly advanced' rollout system where it will slowly roll out of the hanger by itself.
"I thought you said that was a weird glitch with the braking system and a physics-based landing gear?"
"Ok yes it slowly slides around like it's on Ice even with the brakes fully applied. Why are you in here I'm recording?"
"I'm pretty sure false advertising is what you're doing...Like how you're not mentioning the unfinished autoland?"
"I will get horizontal autoland working now get out of here Ivan, go back to Norway."
"That's actually pretty good offer..."
"OUT!!"

(Autopilot master must be engaged to activate autopilot or search and rescue pattern. The autopilot can be OVERRIDDEN by any manual input to the controls.)

Autopilot Functionality
After inputting coordinates to the large keyboard YOU MUST PRESS SET on the small touchscreen to confirm destination. It is also capable of holding 3 different destinations at the same time. For example homebase number 1. Convenient medical facility number 2. Then the way point for any rescue mission as waypoint 3. (Every time the vehicle is reset all three way points will be reset.)

PLEASE NOTE Altitude hold is also functional. (Warning do not trust attitude to ascend large distances. [Over 200 m difference at a time.] As this may cause the aircraft to get stuck doing loops.) It is strongly advised that you climb to the required level then activate altitude hold within 200m of your target altitude. If you are within 200m of your target altitude you can entirely trust it to work as expected. It can safely descend to any altitude.

Also comes complete with a circling SAR pattern.

Illumination (10 Flare Controller https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2022267604)
9 press and hold individual illumination flares. The unit is complete with an automatic hatch at the very rear underside of the aircraft.
Both red and white interior lighting.
Anti-collision, navigation, logo/tail lights I believe are all correct.
Landing, taxi, and vertical spotlights or provide appropriate visibility when flying and landing at night.
In first person pilots and co-pilots can also make use of a night vision HUD overlay with additional artificial horizon.

Kite Array
The kite array can be used to lift and carry almost all ai vehicles but it was primarily installed to anchor the aircraft to the ground or ship in bad weather. (As it is a large aircraft the wind drift cancellation is not as effective as it has been on smaller aircraft.)

Enable vertical altitude hold and auto hover shutdown horizontal engines and allow the altitude holds to keep the aircraft at a low altitude and the mag all on the ground to stop it from drifting. I have found this is a useful way to stabilize small vessels in difficult maritime rescue conditions. (It being too windy.) If the vessel is in trouble near any description of land sometimes it is easier just to pick up the vessel. and put it on land to conduct the rescue.

Parachute Ballistics Computer (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2078172280)


General Systems Station

The general system station contains a variety of different readouts so the general systems operator can gauge the aircraft capability. This includes. A compact weather report, a general systems read out, ballistics computer read out.

Navigation Station (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1748031329)
A large map with generous zoom to allow navigation with in game map disabled. The general systems operator can use.
Flight Info Screen (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353192388)
Weather Widget (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1750290839)
1x1 Monitor Digital Clock with Temperature (UPDATE) (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2067998970)

180-90 Gimbaled Search Camera
A high magnification night vision equipped high stability search camera that is deployed just in front of the front landing gear. (If landing gear is deployed it will not interfere with operations of the front camera)

Radio Beacon Locator Station (RADAR Locator https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2247804848)
This advance beacon locator is able to locate a distress beacon within 4 km. This being combined with it's user-friendly map overlay and the aircrafts powerful onboard gimbal camera you can easily locate any vehicle in distress.

Compact On-board Computer (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2326637481)
It is equipped to transmit and receive video and audio signals simultaneously, weather report, backup navigation systems.

Autopilot Autoland COMING SOON (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2562145559)

Supply Pods

There are three kinds of supply pod fitted to the Colossus. Sometimes the pods don't connect at spawn. Just grab the magnet on the front and pull it up until it locks.

Wing pod 1 and 4 are firefighting supplies. (White Smoke)
Wing pod 2 and 3 are general rescue supplies. (Green Smoke)
There are BB 1-4 emergency supply pods are in the bombay but the weapons computer doesn't detect them though they can still be deployed. (Red Smoke)

The cockpit is colour-coded for ease of use.

Red, Critical systems.
Battery, APU, emergency batteries (This includes the horizontal throttle lever and horizontal engine starter start/stop.)

Orange, Vertical systems.
Virtual altitude hold, auto hover, lift throttle.

Blue, Components of The kite array.
Winch down, winch up, mag all, vehicle connectors.
