RSD Argentavis Heavy Gunship
Introducing the Argentavis Heavy Gunship; Rising Storm Dynamics’ first VTOL attack craft. Featuring a medium-high fidelity cockpit, the Argentavis is equipped with a multitude of features, excelling at combat and multi-role rescue missions. The aircraft is also equipped with a built in smart system that alters how it flies in accordance with how the pilot is using it. Fast and agile, the Argentavis is an ideal aircraft for any rescue or combat mission.
- The Argentavis is well armed, featuring a forward minigun, two duel barrel flak cannons and four ballistic rockets.
- Equipped with VTOL as well as STOL, takeoffs are a breeze, no need to worry about short runways or small landing spaces.
- Unfolding tow boom enables towing of the craft on runways or carriers.
- Medium-high fidelity cockpit has just enough features for every occasion but still comfortable and easy to learn.
- Smart-system built into the aircraft maintains control of flight as well as auto pilot; switching between modes based on how the user is flying.
- Featuring two main doors and a floor hatch, theres no shortage of entrances (or exits) on the vehicle.
- Two unfolding cranes adorn the ceilings, one with a magnet and the other with a harness. Both have anti-jam technology, preventing the main doors from closing on the crane.
- Half glass, half virtual cockpit design lets sunlight in but also allows the pilot to switch to map or wing view.
- Extending fuel hose on top of craft allows refueling without having to land.
- Two equipment lockers feature parachutes and diving gear.
- VTOL jets and secondary jets are on separate controls, ensuring a stable hovercraft or aircraft experience.
- On-board parachutes can be deployed to save the aircraft in the event of an emergency.
- Hover engine over-clocker for fast take offs.
- Self-check system for height hold ensures the Argantavis is flying at the set altitude properly.

Secondly, if you find the smart-flight computer to be overbearing and invasive in flight mode, turning OFF "enable in-flight gyros" will silence the computer.
