AV-23 Barracuda VTOL Gunship ( No Mods ) ( DLC Req )

Description
Gunship On Station

The AV-23 Barracuda is a United Sol Federation twin turbo-shaft, VTOL, single operator, light, fast attack, gunship that was designed as an anti-armor weapons platform. The Barracuda was built directly by the United Sol Federations Weapons Division as part of its Advanced Attack Aircraft program to replace older helicopter style weapons systems. This Aircraft is designed around attacking ground armor units at stand-off ranges or close in with fast sweeping attacks.

Notes
===========

* Scripts are used and needed ( WHAM, LAMP ) for the missiles and ( Vector Thrust ) for flight.
* There are projectors to re-arm each missile. They Become active once a missile is fired.
* The custom nose turret can be A.I or pilot controlled.
* The landing gear extends/retracts automatically when close to the ground. If landing somewhere elevated use control on toolbar page 3.
* I recommend using the ( Topdown ) targeting option for the missiles
* The +Thrust option on toolbar page 1 has 3 settings ( gears if you've used the vector thrust script ) this moves from a more vertical thrust to a more horizontal thrust
* Missile controls are on toolbar page 2
* When Landing: thrust, lights, antenna will turn off when the magnetic plates are locked.

I cant find any issue with it without more info......So a few things to note

This build does not have downward thrust, pressing the downward thrust key and letting gravity do its thing is how it descends. That and kinda flying like a plane when at high speeds.

A few things to check which will cause issues

1) Make sure you have the required dlc ( needs Sci-fi atmo and flat atmo thrusters )
2) Make sure you have scripts enabled in world settings
3) If pasting in survival, it wont fly until you put uranium ingots in it.

Yeahh, can confirm, this thing does not fly in any atmos planet, including the standard earthlike. Not enough downward thrust I think.
