my god this looks good cant wait to see how it turns out

I would very much appreciate seeing this further developed and added to

we need more mods like this to be honest

Check the Discussions tab above for a fix for the VTOL hangar audio bug, and also for a bug reports section. If you encounter any bugs, please put them in the bug reports discussion. I'm not someone helping to maintain the mod--only support the community around it.

don't worry people YOU CAN FLY DOWN BY PRESSING ALT by default. this mod is awesome by the way, and i personally enjoy a dual UAC10 build. thanks for the great mod and i hope to see more.

annnnd it wont go down :(

just downloaded... hope it goes well for me!

also cant fly down

Yo making tanks playable too might be cool

I hope and pray this succeeds

cant wait to see this work! any dice on makeing tanks playable?

PLEASE UPDATE WITH YAML

Update when?
Also recommend making it YAML compatible

please fix enemy vtols from just going up and getting stuck

Is there a way to go down? I keep getting flung into the sky and its quite frustrating to avoid ascending to orbit.

Can't get any VTOL variants to spawn or show up. Not in Mech Delivery, Not in Instant Action, Or any save.
Is there a specific chassis code I'm not aware of or install requirements?

hey, not sure if it's an issue with the mods I have, but the audio for when the VTOL is hovering is stuck on loop.

I can hear it in my hangar, contract screen, deployment screen, in mission, and on the main menu.

Tried reloading saves, but it's still there.

the third person cam is broken

@Goblinslayer69

No, ai will only fly vertically upward. This can sometimes bug missions if you do not kill the vtol fast enough because it will fly to the stratosphere

can ai pilot these?

swapped all the ac/2's for burst ac/2s and added a light rifle in the nose gun. Became death.

(any chance of a Laser version. id love to be beam drone.)

i can get it to stop going u and i want using left alt

Seems like equiping LRM + Artemis IV breaks the thing and it gets buggy as hell

i had a blast playing VTOLWarrior with this xD was a bit tricky to learn to control. but having aim assist enabled helped alot to hit stuff . please keep working on this ,and hopefully we could see more playable vehicles like this.

Loving this so far, I hope this continues to be worked on and hopefully we can repaint it at some point with different patterns and faction colors.

Is this still being worked on?

Update: Missiles work with LRM5 only. I've tried other configs and they don't work. Just use LRM5s and strike from a distance. Good hunting to all!

Guns work, but missile hardpoints don't register at all. Overall, I like flying, but it is quite difficult. Make sure to center body over legs a lot to keep directional flight possible. Thanks and keep it up.

Can you make the NPC lancemates able to fly these instead of being stuck on the ground? Also, make the paint job more customizable. Awesome mod with LOTS of potential!

i wanna love this girl since im a pilot but this thing is so fast and it dosent yaw quick enough. plus ai just goes up

Finally, some nice fucking VTOL gameplay.

Overall, despite being in early Alpha, mod is great.

This thing + a missle boat lance

fun and worked well some note
hard to aim ballistics and not very compatible with advanced zoom
and missiles don't show / operable

what is alt normally bound to? is there a way to go down on hotas

ayo elemental next??? coop with these two?

pretty good but the igor does seem to have some issue recognizing weapons in the missile slots
they wont appear visually or as an option to fire in game though you can still change their weapon groups in the menu

If the gravy modifier didn't change anything, then it's likely not the variable that's changed the outcome.

At this point, I think it's just an unfortunate, yet tolerable, side-effect brought about by the necessary witchcraft needed to code/simulate "flying"

Not the TTAI mod, but I am using the XenoAI - AI Balancer 2.0 mod from the Nexus. Just realized the version I picked is three years old so I'm kicking myself for that realization. I can try the TTAI mod and/ or the 2024 ver of XenoAI balancer.

Knight Siegfried, are you running TTAI mod?

That mod adjusts gravity by 50% which may have unintended effects on whatever modifier this person is using. But Yea I run this mod with TTAI at the same time... and with larger engines I was going very fast and can confirm what Knight is saying.

Might be a code limitation however, and this is how he made this witchcraft work

Further testing this mod out and I still love it but I have some questions that I can't tell are intentional or bugs.

1. Overheating the VTOL will cause the ship to sink and crash into the ground, resulting in a game over.

2. The ship is stupidly fast, even with cheap 100 engine, the ship can literally go mach 8. Even with first person mode and throttle decay on, this does make accurate shots and hovering very difficult, especially when the lowest speed I can reach is 250kmh.

3. Third person does put the camera somewhere far below the rendered map floor, I can understand this because of the sheer black magic involved.

4. I don't know if this is caused by other mods but ballistic recoil is uber strong in the VTOL. Even machine guns kick like mules

Lastly, will there be, by any chance of a energy hardpointed VTOL?

I thought I was prepared but nope. I didn't expect to have the experience to have an Ariel dogfight with other helis listening to the DOOM OST within MW5.

Fucking brilliant mod, 10/10 would red baron the shit out of the enemy again.

Could you potentially upload this mod to other sources? I am currently dealing with a workshop bug that keeps me from downloading mods.

Made a Dual Sniper Cannon Igor... it's actually very viable, but OP. However, it's only OP due to dropping sniper cannon AOE on top of them.

Being able to use a 060 engine is kind of busted. Idk if engines were fixed, but if they were, it would dramatically limit silly builds

Works with YAML, Coyote Mod and like ~60 others :D

Does this work with YAML? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

YAML

dose this work YMAL

Is the map supposed to suddenly invert into the sky and be upsid down when you try to go into third person view?

When you say may need other mods to access do you mean that in can appear normally in markets?

is this the first flying mech?
