A stock tiltrotor VTOL.
(physics settings: High)
Useful for picking up crashed pilots in harsh terrain.
(Or for commando raids)
Start engines with AG 5.
Slider 1 to tilt engines.
Slider 2 Flaps.
Throttle gently up to above 15% for take-off.
For a nice clean transition to horizontal flight get some horizontal speed before gently tilting engines and throttling up.
Don’t throttle in full horizontal speed from 100% down to less than 50% at once, be a little gentle or it will blow up the rotors.
For landing:
Gradually decrease speed. Once below 100m/s tilt engines up and set throttle to about 15%. You can make a sharp turn to bleed off speed.
Reduce throttle between 15% to 10% for a steady controllable descent. These numbers are without cargo.
For best control try to keep your passengers centered.

@sacr3dbac0n0 thanks! I use the control surfaces of the rotor blades to control thrust. The left rotor blades use slider 3 and the right rotor blades use slider 4. The vizzy program basically tells slider 3 to increase control surface deflection and slider 4 to decrease control surface deflection when rolling (or the other way around). If you tilt the engines up on the runway engines off and open the sliders on screen and give some control inputs you can easily check what moves what.
The rest of the vizzy stuff is just translating the 0 to 1 from throttle slider to -1 to 1 for maximum control surface deflection, and disabling the vertical flight controls when tilting the engines horizontally.With thanks to @TritonAerospace for introducing me to some Vizzy basics.

Wow. This is hands down the best helicopter I've seen on this site. Elegantly simple, but effective. It's always nice to see authors that don't cop out and use gyros. One question though. I don't see any mechanism or collective to control roll, how did you do it with the Vizzy program?

@FunkPunk Yeah, I did notice the control surfaces on the blades. Very clever.
