Description:

There is no teleport in career mode, so going places can take hours. This craft lets you reach anywhere on the map in 5 minutes or less.
Also featuring a 8500L jet fuel capacity and 5 meter landing accuracy to be immediately useful as a fuel trader.
It is compatible with the Starter Island Dock and can be spawned at the start of the game for crate hunting, fuel trading, and transporting you to distant bases.

Features

• Mach 2.5
• 8500L Jet Fuel Capacity, mostly for fuel trading
• 30L reserve that can not pump out to prevent being pumped empty
• ~1L/km, for maximum range of 8000km
• Costs $15,000

Operating Procedure

1. If spawning from the Starter Island Dock, spawn this Elevator Platform
2. Climb through the door and take the pilot’s seat
3. Press hotkey 1 to enter hover mode and move it out of the dock
4. Set destination waypoint on the map, should be relatively flat area without obstructions
5. Paste Waypoint GPS into keypad
6. Press the autopilot button and the capsule will take you there
7. If engines are still on when landed at the destination, press Hotkey 1 again to shut it off.

See This Video for a demo of this vehicle in action
*You can actually interact with the autopilot keypad and buttons from outside of the craft.
*Alternatively press Hotkey 1 to manually fly it around when autopilot is off.

Notes:

• Not waterproof and does not float
• If waypoint is set over water it will hover at sea level, allow you to swim in and out, but this is not safe in high wave conditions
• Recommend only trading jet fuel as other fluids could clog the fuel plumbing
• There is a Keep Active Block under the rear ramp that is colored yellow, if you remove it, recommend replacing it with a normal cube block to keep the weight balanced.
• Any personnel or animals on board must be seated during supersonic flight or risk death from collision or destabilizing the craft.
• Manually control during supersonic flight is highly discourage as it is quite unstable.
• If you notice flying over land causes your game to stutter, go into a workbench and click on a microcontroller called something like "VASIWJ", and reduce the Horizontal Flight RPS setting to make it go slower.
