Introducing our first VTOL!
It's also very low part count and fully vanilla, so anyone can run it ^w^
This aircraft can take off from any place and reach 100m/s in less than 30 seconds.
It can also reach a surprising velocity of Mach 1.5 at 6kms of altitude and with full throttle.
To save fuel, the engines are efficently fabricated and also made without afterburner.
If you go to an altitude of 20-25kms at max throttle, you could possibly make 2 trips around Droo, now that's epic!
Thanks for reading, here's the action group list:
1: Toggle VTOL mode.
2: Toggle all lights.
3: Landing Gear

@NoIDontWanna What's your problem? Try to go to settings and set physics to high or medium, I think that it doesn't work well on low physics, and you need to activate AG1 before using VTOL mode.
For me it works, it's just a bit hard to do a VTOL take off, maybe will post a video later so it's easier to understand ^w^

@AstronautPlanes alright, I thought I just pressed vtol. Thx for the info!

@supercraftyjj It doesn't have automatic VTOL yet, I'm still dealing with depression and random stuff, so I'm somewhat offline in SR2, still here's the flight path I use to take off (manually!)
Press AG1, slider 1 to 100%, then max throttle and stage, get to 100 meters agl, I do 30 meters but it's more risky, after that, set slider 1 back to 0% and go horizontally, adter reaching more than 80m/s, you can press off AG1 and fly normally.

@Zyvx Thanks! Surprisingly this took me less time to build than the XT10 or the Atacama plane, just because I re-used the fuselaje.

@AstronautPlanes - i can make it shortly, i havent done unlisted yet, but i see where to choose unlisted on the upload page...how do i get it to you?

@SmurfResearchX Thanks for that, do you have a unlisted post so I can check it out?

@AstronautPlanes - im not familiar with discord, but it took off great...i just changed the orientation to rotate with the engines, so it recognizes prograde/retrograde during vtol, and landing it is just like a moon lander(a vizzy landing will probably work) - it flies exactly the same other than that - if i upload it, do you want to check it out? and then i will take it down after you download

@SmurfResearchX What's your VTOL take off path?
btw, if you need help you can talk to me on Discord -

another awesome plane - i was flying it, and cant help from adjusting things(all vanilla)..might help with automated landing/takeoff. if you would like to check it out, reply and i can upload it back (i havent done private upload yet, just might need help doing that right)
