INTRO
This is originally a mod I made for myself. I've worked on this since 2016 on and off, I've been digging through the game files and other mods to see how they worked, to create my own gunship mod. I kinda made things complicated with the control combinations. I'm not a programmer, the gunship might still have some bugs that I have to iron-out and the code might not be the most optimized. Though I'm happy how things turned out.

I'd like to share it with everyone, this is the first mod that I ever published. I hope you all enjoy! ^w^

INFORMATION
The FLCN-11 is a twin-turboshaft attack gunship with a skids-type landing gear which can form as a platform, while it can be operated by a single pilot it has a tandem cockpit that can support a gunner, it has extra seats in the back that can support 6 passengers. The gunship features a nose-mounted chain-gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage and mounted with a spotlight. It's armed with Bomb/Decoy hatch below the cockpit exterior.

The FLCN-11 have stabilizing wings that has four hardpoints mounted on wing pylons, carrying a Cannon Launcher Hybrid and a Powerful Railgun. It features an Auto-Hover/Landing, Zero-G/Liquid-Sensor systems, Gravity Field Magnet capable of carrying heavy cargo. The FLCN-11 has a large amount of systems redundancy to improve combat suitability such as Auto-Flare and Attack Drone deployment.

FEATURES

​

Pilot Seat: Controls the movement, utilities & weapon by default.
Gunner Seat: Can control the weapons when toggled to.
Passenger Seats: Can hold up to 6 passengers.
Landing Rails: It acts as a platform which you can stand on.
Dynamic-Wings: The wings will always stay horizontal, you can grapple/rope into it to get up. TIP:Attach your hook in the middle of the wing. If you're grappling down, hit the top of the wing then swing down. (Sadly hook won't stick when gunship is moving.)
Sealed Hull: Protects the people inside the gunship from hazards. The gunship can operate in zero-g and will float on liquid.
Auto-Hove/Land System: The Pilot and Gunner can leave, the gunship it will hover by itself. If there’s no crew present inside for 120 seconds, the system will hover-down the gunship vertically, if it detects solid ground(Ignores platforms), zero-g or liquid the engines will shutdown and drones are deployed for defence.
Zero-G/Liquid Sensor: The gunship has a built-in sensor that detects if the ship is in zero-g or liquid, it will automatically turns off the thrusters accordingly to the movement or when it comes in contact with liquid. If the gunship is submerged in liquid it will automatically shut down its engines.
Alarm: Trigger when the gunship is damage or critical, flares are auto-deployed when gunship gets damaged.

Miscellaneous:
-Pilot/Gunner headgear when you ride the gunship.
-Shells will be ejected.
-Shooting the Railgun recoil will push the gunship back a little.
-It has its own atmosphere/zero-g engine, startup & shutdown sounds.
-The gunship will wobble by its own in mid-air. It will not wobble if the gunship is touching the ground or if it's in zero-g.
-The gunship will try to tilt accordingly to the shape of ground below it.
-If 50% of the gunship mass goes under water, the engines will automatically shutdown.
-Thrusters will turn off if it's submerge in any liquid.
-Idle thrusters will turn off if you enter zero-g and certain thrusters will only work accordingly where you move the gunship.
- If auto-landing finishes, siren, headlights will turn off and the door hatch will close and gun rotation will reset. drones will be activated for gunship defense.
- Fixed on potential exploit where you can fire the machine gun through walls. I made some condition that if there's blocks in front of the gunship you won't able to shoot the turret. if the blocks are in the rear and nothing in front of the gunship then you can still shoot.
- Bomb hatch now closes when all projectiles are ejected.
- Gunship will still wobble when its very close to the ground and will only stop when its touching the ground.
- Landing gear won't deploy on slopes, can be activated and will form as a break. it will double the railgun rpm when deployed.
- Door hatch and gravity field will automatically close when in zero-g.

Known Bugs:
-Sounds vanishes and auto-land timer won't start if the gunship is off screen.
-Dynamic-Wings can derail stuff and can push movable objects. Projectiles can't pass through the wing. (Not necessarily a bug since this is needed for hooks to grab on it.)
-When [DRH] is active the Penguins or small NPCs will float when pulled. Sometimes it can also flung NPCs around.
