Hardy - Self preserving focused multi-use VTOL

Description
This is a modify version of the beloved Hallas (multipurpose water landing VTOL) by krimwand.

About this vehicle
Despite the overwhelming amount of the screen it has, or the fact that this VTOL can be use in transportation, sea/land rescue, logistic, fire fighting purposes etc... This VTOL is mainly focus on the capability of its self rescuing and self persevering aspect (explosive and missile attack not included, since there is no real means currently to prevent or recover from those situations). Now also with P.I.T.S.T.O.P Mid-Air Refueling Cargo .

Self Rescuing features including:

-Backup Jet Fuel Tank in case the main tank leak out.

-Secondary mini diesel fuel generator for when all battery die out. (May not be compatible with the new ECU, test pending)

-Manual Power Panel on the back of the pilot seat in case the monitor don't work.

-Recovery In Submerged Environment system (R.I.S.E) if the VTOL is flooded and sank.

-R.I.S.E battery set also act as a redundant set for the main battery.

x Flipped VTOL - currently no best solution, feel free to provide your idea towards that situation!

-Active Generator Monitoring will calculate and give you the maximum fuel efficiency.

-On board Arsenal(at the back of the seats).

-Mid Air Active Stabilizer, helps you to stay at exactly where you want even in the worst of storm. by Belisarius

-Flood lights

Future Plans:

-Remove unused system or parts

-Weapons?

-Redesign the interface of the whole cockpit

User guide
(more like a workaround)

-interior use sets of pump to drain, and despite the display engine and cockpit actually is one entire hull. Engine drain uses the trap door at the bottom, do not open it unless in air, at land or purposefully want to fill the engine with water.

Still a work in progress, Irregularly updated. Advice and comment welcome!

Feel free to re-modify and post your version of this vehicle, I only require you credit me if you start from this version of the VTOL.

Suggestions (terse b/c CharLimit):
1. Fantastic continuation to the Hallas! Love it!
2. Viewing Scope for forward camera, monitor resolution bad for 'Search' part of SaR.
3. Camera mode for attaching to container in first person
4. Underbed storages swapped to toggle buttons (or at least both a push button).
5. Interior lighting (might be broken?)
6. Used to float better? Also used to say very little fuel in it, so maybe I just couldn't fill it.
8. +1 for Autoland I see mentioned, esp. if not req. autopilot first
9. Bed for change time
10. Firehose label for [Space/Trigger]
11. Multi-Waypoint Autopilot (Zizo pretty good)
12. More buttons around doorframe to open side door

@PennywiseNibbles you should be able to use the backup fuel when you press the button at the right lower side of the cockpit, but i have to double check, the last time i use that system is like 4 updates ago.

Also does the backup fuel go to the jet generator engine or the rocket thrusters?, i got hole nailed into the generators fuel tank on the left rear and once i patched the hole i tried to use the reserve fuel to no avail

So you fill the cabin to about 25% water open the hatches around the vtol and it will sink in a few minutes

The Vtol is not design to go underwater, RISE is only use for when the vtol has a hull breach and sank into the sea, but if you wanna try simulating it, open the back door using the button below, and set the flood monitor to engine as on, it will make the port access under the vtol open and flood the lower half of the vtol, making the vtol sink, and remember to turn off the auxiliary Jet engine first! the main jet engine is water proof but the auxiliary set isnt.

Auto landing is a feature i wanna add too and see if there is a way to add hotkey to the rescuing platforms, but auto cannon might not be doable, its not that it dont have physical room to install it, but any extra feature requiring microcontroller is gonna make the vtol even more laggy, so i need to optimize the vtol's logics before adding anything else. Thanks for the advice!

how do you go underwater with this?

I love your vtol, plane, boat. This is really cool and not too sure how it maneuvers so well. I would like to ask for a couple addons if possible. One would be for the 2 winch life rafts you have. Is there a way to add number keys to raise and lower besides the switches. I find them very difficult to click on the button. Also besides the weapons you have in the ship, can you add laser guns or cannons on the craft with auto turrent and auto shoot? Another really cool feature would be for auto land with the autopilot. Adding those features would make this the perfect vtol ship out there. Other than that, you are very talented with your builds. I would love to see you build a space dlc with autopilot options as well.
