VL49 Tarantula [De-militarized] - Update
This will not be updated a lot, however it will have a lot of times where you will need to read the updates every-time [b] BEFORE [/b] you fly the Tarantula every day you decide to fly it until a week has passed. That gives me time to do troubleshooting and fix even more issues right after the update has released until a week has passed- where I will not fix anything else until the next update.
Authors' Notes
This is already a big enough project for me to handle, so expect limitations from me to work on it.
That means there are a few issues I do not have time to fix. State them in the comments and it might encourage me to further fix the issues.
I will update the description from time, to time, as I cannot do it all at the moment.
There will also be a few flight issues that I will [b] not [/b] fix. I have spent hours already just on that singular area of the VTOL.
I also did not expect this build to be as massive, as it is.
I have spent well over 100 hours on this build, so I'm nearly tired of it but I will gladly do my best to respond to anyone who comments.
How do I enjoy the VL49?
-Subscribe to the VL49
-Ensure Infinite Fuel is OFF. Infinite Electricity can be enabled but is not recommended.
-Ensure vehicle damage is OFF during take-off (If you are in a hangar, VL49 can be a bit wonky on the controls, so I personally recommend turning off damage until you are [b] outside [/b] of the hangar so the propellers cannot be damaged or any-other part of the aircraft.
-Spawn the VL49
-Go to and open the left entrance door.
-Walk to the doors located in the very front of the Cargo Bay.
-Once in the cockpit, you can enable the systems you would like on the slanted panels.
-Turn the NERV Engines and NERV Fuel Pumps [b] ON [/b]
-For cruising around in [b] Helicopter [/b] Mode, set the [i] NERV Engine 1-4 RPS Set [/i] to [b] 15 [/b] RPS. For lifting heavier objects, I strongly advise you increase the engine throttle. [b] The engines will require your patience to spoil up. [/b]
-For [b] plane [/b] mode, please increase the [i] NERV Engine 1-4 RPS Set [/i] to [b] 19 [/b] RPS.
-For cruising in [b] plane [/b] mode, please increase the [i] NERV Engine 1-4 RPS Set [/i] to [b] 25RPS[/b]. [b] Do not go higher in RPS as it [u] will [/u] cause gyro instability. [/b]
[u] The engines will overheat over an extended period of time. Meaning you should be cautious of all the engine temperatures. If the engines get too hot, please lower the throttle [b] or [/b] find a place to land safely. [/u]
I know the gyro does not keep the VL49 as stable as it should. I cannot fix that and I will not as I would have to replace the entire gyro or do a lot of modifications to the current one. The VL49 weighs over 25,000kg, making the gyro's work incredibly difficult because of the inertia from every movement the VL49 makes.
With that said- Enjoy

Notice
I do [b] not [/b] mind you using my controllers in your builds. However, if it is a workshop controller, please state their workshop page / link in the description. I will also add the workshop controllers I used for the VL49 in the description soon. I [b] do [/b] mind you reposting my VL49 for credit, so please do not repost my creation unless I explicitly allow you to further do so.
