Description
AW-120J
Overview
This is my vtol adaptation of the AC-130J gunship. The Gunship is a tilt rotor design allowing for much better maneuverability as well as take off and landing capabilities. The Gunship features 1) Heavy AutoCannon, 1) Rotoray AutoCannon, 1) Battle Cannon, 21) Small Warheads. Fuel tank Capacity up to 10,000L (Diesel). Complete auto pilot systems, automatic flares and more.
The Design
The Design is loosely based off an ac-130J ghostrider's weapons package, while trying to maintain a much smaller footprint, the twin tail is inspired by the bombers of the past a modern take on a "flying fortress". While the rest of the plane takes on a near future aesthetic, with it's Tilting Contra-rotating propellers the airplane becomes much more capable and maneuverable.



Operation
The plane has a lot going on, but it is not that hard. Most of the controls are as simple as possible, and the plane knows how to function regardless of the rotors tilt with no inputs. The plane will fly quite nicely and with a steady had you really do not need the gyro on, but it never hurts. The plane can take of runway style or in VTOL mode regardless of packaging. The landing gear work automatically. A target input can be inputted and the plane will rotate at a press of a button around the target.
Startup
  1. Check Breaker (spawns on)
  2. Turn on Avionics key (overhead)
  3. Press Engine 1 starter and hold until.
    A green indicator will light when the engine is running correctly.
  4. Press Engine 2 starter and hold until.
    A green indicator will light when the engine is running correctly.
  5. Once both green lights are On, the hand brake may be released with Button 1
  6. A/D will rotate the gear for steering when on the ground.
  7. Turn on Lights (overhead)
  8. UP/DOWN is collective

Auto Pilot System
  1. Make sure to input X, and Y, into the keyboard panel.
  2. Set a desired Altitude on central keypad (100-200 recommended for ocean level targets)
  3. On center console there is an Auto Pilot ON/OFF button and Switch.
    The button will make the plane follow standard Auto Pilot Proceedures.
    The Switch that is labeled "AUTO ROTATE AROUND TARGET" will rotate the gunship's sights around the specified GPS coordinates.
  4. Altitude hold is controlled with a switch in the center of the dash board.
  5. Next to Altitude hold there is also a Gyro Stabilizer that may be toggled.



Weapon Systems
The Weapon Systems has an operator that can be found between the guns and the cockpit. The Guns also have a SAFTEY, the saftey can be turned off once the plance is 15m above the ground, and the pilot has armed the guns. The saftey can also be over ridden by the weapons operator.
  • Rotary Auto Cannon
  • Heavy Auto Cannon
  • Battle Cannon
All three weapons are fired with the weapons operator and can be switched. It is recommended that UNLIMITED AMMO is turned ON but NOT REQUIRED. The Battle Cannon will reload with unlimited ammo on using the 2 button in the weapons operator seat. The plane is fitted with plenty of ammo if you want to be realistic, but this may need more crew for optimization.
The Auto Pilot has a switch that will Automatically rotate the plane around your GPS target.
The Pilot has a screen directly left that shows the side view of the airplane so the guns can be targeted manually, as well as showing the pilot if there are any targets in the circle.
