Description


DESCRIPTION
The Aerobus AH290 "Mage" is an advanced attack tiltjet/VTOL designed for CAS and Reconnaissance alongside the H285 "Miaraka". The AH290 provides a much more simpler flight control system over the H285 and acts as an improvement over what was realized of the H285's shortcomings. It's VTOL abilities provide it a high speed & reaction time, allowing it to respond to threats in a fast paced manner while still retaining a heavy payload capacity for its size.

The AH290 proved itself to be a valid and useful tool for the CAS role, however was noted for its heavy weak spots due to its exposed engines on either side. However tactics evolved to supplement this through firing from a long distance to prevent counterfire.

No idea, we didn't test NQ vehicles for compatibility with FM Weapons because NQ Vehicles are legacy vehicles and wouldn't receive any support or updates to make them compatible if they weren't.

With the move away from the Legacy weaponspack, are the Falkner-Muir weapons compatible with all the Newquay vehicles by default, or do modifications need to be made?

Thats the default refuelling tanker that flies about in game.

(Con't from below)

4. Rough stability when hovering. Acts as if it is balancing on a curb. Will never sit at perfectly 0 roll and flops back and forth between -2° and 2° OTHER than that, it is extremely stable!!! Makes using the integrated 25mm hull cannon very difficult, however it's better than nothing in a pinch.

5. It's affordable, light + fuel efficient, decent speed for what it is, pretty but low server impact, carrier capable, and can carry a decent loadout! Despite its current issues we have good success with it.

I will dive into its systems in the coming days and see if I can work out any of these issues. The only big ones are #2. We added recovery hooks (few ditches since it loses power as stated) and a repair torch for minor repairs.

Note for those looking to use this airframe in 2024:

1. great weapons platform if you use the Falkner-Muir systems. If I remember right I outfit my fleet with the RM-19 and IRM-20s. 4 hardpoints with x3 RM-19s (short-medium range all purpose radar missiles) OR 2 hardpoints with x3 RM-19s and 2 hardpoints with x2 IRM-20s (long range AAM, very maneuverable).

2. Major system issue we are troubleshooting: losing propulsion mid flight- seems to be happening during toggling vertical thrust, causing airframe to fall from sky. Also weird ghost in the system causing odd altitude adjustment behaviour- it just keeps rising up or lowering with just a tap on the arrow keys.

3. Landing gear unstable, causing wobble and ground strike. Might just be gear ratios. Unsure as I have yet to dive into it.

If your landing gear is weird turn your physics up

@Storm Blazer are you sure it's this vehicle?
