*******************************************************************************

I took a rest for just two years.
It is the 33rd SF animation plastic model series work.
I finally challenged a super-difficult problem.
The person who knows might know this.
It is VTOL aircraft that appears in movie@"The Sixth Day" that Mr. Schwa starring.
It was a terrible transformation aircraft with the function of the helicopter and the jet plane perfectly.
I bent backward as soon as having seen.
This is terrible...Fantastic....Amazing !!!!
How many years passed by devising the structure and the transformation method by trying making to 3D in the head?
I traced to the method and attached finally.
I think that I was able to improve it though it is me.
You also must push" "/key by all means.
Oh........The wing flickers when transforming it into the helicopter with the flap downed.
This is not made easily even if not going.
Please the pardon.

This time, I challenged the flight dynamics again (no.........Three@times or........how many?).
Fiddle with the Air file and change Primary Avionics variously, and......
Uuuuuummmm..........................
After all, it doesn't go well.
Though the Roll control went well, but the Yaw control is.....
The airframe shakes right and left when the highspeed is put out.
Only the flap is downed and the airframe somersaults when Pitch is changed.
Does this manage will not become it?
When it is low-speed, though the flap control works well.
But the sudden braking hangs when the flap is downed at the highspeed.
How does this become it?
I do not understand this reason.
Does anyone explain this in Japanese?
Therefore, the flight dynamics is imperfect this time.
The person who doesn't like this is , Please change selfishly.

Aaaaa.....And....
The helicopter mode is related to the Airbrake (Spoiler - "/ " key) as previously stated.
The effect of the Airbrake(Spoiler) is set down 20%.
Therefore, the speed decreases in the helicopter mode.(Will it be natural?)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This aircraft is based on SF action movie "The 6th Day," in the 2000.
Arnold Schwarzenegger played the owner of a small aircraft rental company specializing in VTOL "Whispercraft," advanced helicopter-like vehicles whose blades could be "fixed" in flight to function as conventional wings.
Designed by the legendary conceptual artist Ron Cobb, the fictional "Whispercraft" were based on actual variable-wing VTOL concepts then under development by the U.S. government.

--------------------------------------------------
2. [ Specification ]

Unknown

[estimate value]
Length : 11.6m(38.05ft)
Width : Jet Mode 9.6m(31.49ft)
Helicopter Mode 11.9m(39.31ft)
Height : Jet Mode 2.85m(9.36ft)
Helicopter Mode 3.37m(11.08ft)

I made this based on the size of the pilot's model that I'm always using it.
Perhaps, I think that this is not wrong so much.

-------------------------------------------------
3. [ About the installation ]

The airframe must copy the \Whispercraft folder as it is in the Aircraft folder of FS2002 or FS2004.

\FS2002(FS2004)
-----\Aircraft
---------\Whispercraft

Please copy all files in the \gauges folder onto the gauge in the Gauges folder of FS2002 or FS2004.
A general gauge is saved for the gauge bundled this time.
The gauges of Kingair and Mooney Bravo, EXTRA-300, GPS are not bundled.
Please setup it by yourself.

-----------------------------------------------------------
4. [ About the operations ]

Shift+"E" = Canopy Open/Shut
(Shift+"E")+"2" = Cargo Bay Open/Shut

"/" = Transform Jet <----> Helicopter
(Rotor In/Out)
"F5"-"F8" = Wing swing in Jet mode

-----------------------------------------------------------
5. [ About free software ]

All aircraft that I made are free software.
The reprint and the repaint may go freely.
However, please defend the following conditions.

1.The change in contents of this file is prohibited.
(Please distribute it like the Zip file of the current state when distributing it. )
2.Please neither reverse-assembly nor never remodel(convert) it of the aircraft model.
3.Please don't bundle my airframe(MDL file) in the package of your works when you open the repaint to the public.
(Please open only the texture to the public. )
4.Don't use DXT format for making texture.
Please make it by the format that everyone can change.
It is necessary to be able to read and change with usual drawing software.
5.It is prohibited to bundle and to open a new panel to the public to my aircraft model.
(Please open only the panel to the public.
It is included in this file, and remodeling the panel that uses the panel background and the change in the panel background are prohibited. )
6.I maintain the copyright of the aircraft model and the panel background.
7.The copyright of the gauge belongs to the author.

---------------------------------------------------------
6. [ About the directions point in FS2004 and FSX]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9) and FSX(FS10).
However........!!
In FS2004.
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.

And........
In FSX.
Because gauges do not correspond to FSX, the gauges in the cockpit are not displayed.
Please you looks for a suitable gauges and setup Panel.cfg by yourself.
Sorry...............

*******************************************************************
Please Notice

I like military aircrafts. Especially, fighter!!
But, It is because the shape is unique and the manoeuverability is good.
I like aircraft that can freely fly in the big sky.
However............I hate war and combatting.
When I thinks the airframe that I made launches the bullet and the missile, I become scary.
Therefore, I'm prohibiting convert of my airframe for CFS.
If it is possible, I am wishing my airframe not to be used in CFS.
Though you might be said "Because it's simulation world"..........
Please..........Please.......
