CFS3 VTOL / STOL aircrafts?

Aah, finally proof that the aliens helped the Nazis!:biggrin-new:

This thing is cool! The screenshots do not do it justice.

Seeing it glide low across the countryside with it's shadow below on the ground looks just like something from a sci-fi movie. The cockpit view is a trip as well. The animated fan blades at various speeds really add to it's eerie-ness. Another great model.:ernaehrung004:
 
I was trying your latest VTOL/STOL physics and its outstanding! :ernaehrung004:
I can fly at very low altitude and low speed (50 mph), when some longer trip with the AIs they just looks like they hovering. also phantastic vertical power, if needs to be quickly higher altitude... yet all is achievable simply with keyboard!

ok, one new shot from a trip over german lake and forrest...

I'll keep playing with the flight model and hopefully I can squeeze a little more STOL out of it. Thanks for letting me take her out.:mixed-smiley-010:

In case you've never seen it.

oh, yeah :)

todays work was related to testing how would look the propeller spining blades when tagged as flaps. the flaps are very imporant for our Flugelrad STOL flight dynamics, so I wanted to make it visualy noticable.
ok, the flap-blade animation works fine, still there is a few things which with I am not happy at all, so I am not sure, if to implement it for the final release.

the two images below just presents flaps fully closed and fully open. note: its not the proper blade angle which it should be for our flying disc, it just presents 16 movable blades in action :)

a very first ingame footage of the early wip project stage leaked... :mixed-smiley-010:

note: taken with smartphone, sorry for the low quality video.

 
building some decent interiror... first blood - just very first gauge planting steps.

a better resolution image here.

:)

well, with FOO FIGHTERs flight model support we managed at christmass 2016 to make relatively easy maneuverable aircraft, able to hover over the terrain with a very very small speed and if needed, able to quickly change its altitude up or down, and/or speed up to cca 650 km/h.
now I have to finish the cockpit.

the CFS3 BMW Flugelrad just acts like a chopper/autogyro and so opens a new kind of combat actions ;)
 
news: repainted interiror a bit...
ok, a new image - just a small enemy factory visit, hovering speed cca 40mph... yeah (a larger image here) ;)

@sixstrings5859: will send to you some test version soon, stay on, mate ;)

Big dummy me !! I didn't know that the landing gear could be retracted !! The pictures gave it away. Can't believe i did not think of this:banghead::dizzy::toilet_claw:
 
it can be retracted, but no warning appears, no damage happen, if you forget this :)

the real flyig disc V-1 has no retractable gear, even not semi, nor any suspensions. the later version has...
Ive added some kind of such animation just because I am finding it cool.

a few weeks ago Ive watched a tv documentary (nazi secrets related) where are short CGI animations presenting the Praque-Kbely mystery flying disc. glad to see they made the disc as our BMW Flugelrad looks like ;)

unfortunatelly it is a czech language documentary, no subtittles, so nothing usable for most of SOH crew... anyway, YT link here. another Prague german flying disc documentary here.

A barrel of fun !! Awesome new skin. Truly something i never thought i'd see. Where did they hold the fuel needed ? Must of had a short range unless it could carry external tanks. Thanks for this wonder weapon . Regards,Scott
