Auto Credit Based on GuyAerospace's XV-10B Vulture

The Hill Tech V-10B Vulture is a long-range, multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing and short takeoff and landing capabilities. Powered by two 5,000 hp DSC Labs EM-220s, it has a top speed of ~160m/s and a sizeable troop capacity.

CRUCIAL NOTES FOR OPERATION OF HILL TECH V-10B VULTURE:
• When taking off, Never set throttle above 40% with nacelles tilted~85°
• NEVER SET THROTTLE TO 100% IF NACELLES ARE NOT 0°
• For landing, slowly tilt nacelles to 90° @ 40-35% throttle
• When landing, when AGL~ 10m, increase throttle to 36-40% for a softer landing, always be prepared to set throttle between 35-40% when landing
• When nacelles are 45°, throttle should be below 45%
•after take off, for horizontal flight, when you are high enough increase throttle and tilt nacelles to 0° slowly
•Use flaps (slider 2) for landing and take off, when nacelles are 90°
•Trim (slider 4) should be used only when nacelles are >30° and should slowly be increased/decreased until the nose is at the desired position.
•A vertical acceleration of over -5 and a surface velocity of over 10 m/s may result in damage to landing gear and/or craft
•When landing vertically, lock heading is not suggested as it may not control the craft as well as you would like it to
(Note that if you switch to an astronaut or crew that is not in a seat, and the craft is not in its VTOL configuration, the rotor will stop spinning and the craft will crash if control is not re-established
Also when filling seats, start from the seat closest to the center of mass and then fill both sides equally. Filling the red seats will offset the COM making vertical takeoff more complicated)

    @Jlyx1512 Hey I'd love that! It'd be amazing to have a limiter instead of user having to memorize how to pilot the V-10 :))

    this seems like a cool concept
    If you'd like i could add some vizzy to limit the user (as to not breach your given instructions)
    Maybe, just maybe, i could even get auto pilot to work while vtol
