1) Occasional bugs where the main campaign select screen is not shown, you will need to click Back and then choose the campaign parent (such as Quick Flight).

Steam Workshop Scenarios do not show the first time. You will need to select "Custom Campaigns", then go back to the vehicle select screen, and select the Mirage and which point any workshop missions.

To play the available campaigns and scenarios go to Steam Workshop after loading the mod and selecting your pilot, select either:

1) Select the pilot, then select the Mirage 2000 from the vehicle list.

2) Multiplayer you need to download a compatible Mirage multiplayer mission.

Latest update

You can now create new multiplayer and single player campaigns (not scenarios) missions in the editor for the Mirage (mod needs to be loaded before you can create them or play them)

Now includes the french missiles pack by default, as well as two new MICA missiles (IR and RF)

Now includes the AGM-65E2/L, laser guided Maverick missile. The advantages of a laser guided munition for successful kills with a direct hit capability from any angle and speed that the Maverick offers.

Thanks go out to the following for either help, new code, code I have ripped off or just simply ideas and shit talking:

C137, Temperz, kano, Baan, Cheese, Marsh, nebriv, Ketkev

Description:

The Mirage 2000C-X is a new aircraft to be flown in single player or multiplayer missions on the latest stable release of VTOL-VR. The Mirage is based off the 2000C because I like the old school analogue aesthetic.

It has more modern radar systems, with longer range detection and lock ons, air to ground radar (not the same as the chopper), and has its own fully tested against reality flight model.

Notes:

A youtube tutorial will be uploaded on how to startup and fly this baby. Link:

https://youtu.be/e8s4cQvEiIs

Yes the model is not completely mine, its partly mine, and partly purchased, the cockpit is almost completely mine. If this bothers you I would go and pee into the wind, or I can add you to the steam user ban list

Known Bugs: i) Nav Map bugs out occasionally STILL ii) I have seen the odd multiplayer client crash, however new code and release should improve things

If you have any to report please use the bugs reporting tool on the site, if you ask in the discord chances are I will miss it completely. Report here and I can keep track of all bugs and release updates.

Custom Sounds

Replaces RWR, Betty and AI voicelines!

By THE_GREAT_OVERLORD_OF_ALL_CHEESE

In folder 3daljjpl

This mod allows you to add/change the voice lines/sound effects in the game. This mod replaces the old custom wingmen, ATC, AWACS and betty mods by combining them into one.

In order for this mod to work, you will need to download voice/sound packs and add them to your game.

This mod can replace the sounds for:

Wingmen
ATC
AWACS
Betty, RWR and other similar systems

Wingmen need to be enabled in the settings menu.

Compatible with multiplayer!

Creating voice packs

The structure of a voice pack is very simple and easy to modify. The root folder of the voice pack contains a .txt file. This contains the voice pack's name and lets the mod know where to look when loading sounds.

Each voice pack folder contains a bunch of subfolders, it loads the .wav files in the subfolders to replace the sounds in the game. The subfolders must have the correct names in order to replace the sounds, the .wav files can be named anything.

Please use these example voice packs as a reference when creating your own voice packs:

Custom Weapons Base

It's Not Not BD Armory

By DankuwOs

In folder xivnzzkv

Based on Temperz87's NotBDArmory, backwards compatible

A new mod for loading all of your custom weapons utilizing new functions added by Baha. Does not include any weapons by itself.

Big thanks to Temperz87 for creating NBDA in the first place.

↓ MOD CREATORS READ THIS ↓

When creating assets, please use this template manifest.json. Old style still works but if your mod depends on a dll the new one should automatically load it.

Media Controls

Links MP3 stream buttons with external media player. Spotify, Itunes,Windows Media Player etc

By .Marsh.Mello.

In folder vtzgco5u

Media Controls give you the ability to link your in cockpit buttons to the window media buttons on your keyboard.

If the application would respond to the media buttons on your keyboard, this mod will work. Just launch the program in the background and when you load the mod and start using the buttons it should work fine.

Contributions

@jakecraige for adding support for the volume knob to control just the music player in !1 update 2.0.0

@thegreatoverlordofallcheese for adding chrome and edge into the list of supported multi media applications in !2

Danku Dynamics Armory

Requires Custom Weapon Base

ITS LOADED BY CWB, YOU DO NOT LOAD IT YOURSELF.

A blatant rip off of Not BD Armory. A blatant rip off of BD Armory. A blatant rip off of your mother.

Has loads of baller munitions and attachments. Like floaties, swing wings, thrust reversers, funky missiles, suicidal missiles that love circles, observant missiles that love circles, horny missiles that have 12 children who are also suicidal, a fucking orbital laser, head tracked missiles, head tracked missiles with a gun on it, and you can attach like 14 GAU-8's on your jet.

It's still very WIP at the moment and some things may have been broken by the 1.5 update,

Swing Wing FAQ (V0.1)

I can't see the F/A-26 with swing wings in the aircraft list:

Correct, the swing wing is an add on for the F/A-26, you will need to equip it before the mission starts using the equipment terminal.

Equipping Item

How do I use the swing wings:

The wings should start in the "Auto" position, this means they will automatically choose the best angle for your current airspeed.

Sweep in Cockpit

Can I change the Angle manually:

Yes you can, grab the Wing sweep lever (the yellow lever to the right of the throttle grip), press the "counter measure" button once to change into manual mode. While in this mode the lever dictates the sweep of your wings, forwards means extended and backwards means retracted or "full sweep".

Manually changing the angle

AirTraffic Rewrite!

By THE_GREAT_OVERLORD_OF_ALL_CHEESE

In folder r4j4svlp

#Note for old Air Traffic users: The mod no longer spawns aircraft. You need to create a mission with AI aircraft spawned in.

In folder 4cxjh2oz

#Some neat features

###Third MFD: Increase your situational awareness by having a whole-ass third MFD!

###Air to Sea Radar: There's two new buttons on the radar page! The "SEA" button toggles into the sea radar and changes the scan line to orange. The "GPS-S" buttons creates a GPS point on the currently locked sea target. If the sea target is moving, it will set the GPS point further ahead of the target in order to increase the chances of the AGM-89 to hit it.

###Jettison Knob: Similar to the jettison knob in the F-45, you're able to quickly decide when and what to jettison.

###Master mode buttons: A triad of buttons that selects or deselects weapons depending on what situation you find yourself in. With the added benefit of deselecting pylons that are empty

ALL: Selects all of your weapons
AIR: Selects air to air weapons
GND: Selects air to ground weapons

###Damage MMFD page: A new MMFD page that displays the current health of major components

###Dampened flight controls when refueling Flipping the refuel port switch reduces the joystick sensitivity and decreases the engine spool rate in order to make the daunting task of aerial refueling a little more bearable ###Mod Settings: Switch MMFDs: If enabled, switches the position of the left and right mini MFDs

###Works with official multiplayer!

Thanks to Danku for testing the mod when I was too lazy. May he forever be a funkmaster

your favorite little piglet has returned back to the market better than ever. After months of being busy and getting distracted I finally made a few requested changes

Tips for using it in combat

use the TGP's PIP mode for guns, rockets, and bombs

if the PIP mode doesn't work, or you can't bring a TGP, use the top of the dash as a marker for bombs. Put your target about an inch below the dash

And just because I really like it

Babies first Hog!

Crumman F 14B Tomcat

Only in the Navy

By DankuwOs

In folder 7si7kyfo

#This is a FLYING AIRCRAFT CARRIER (LITERALLY), changing the name would make anybody updating the mod have 2 differently named versions, and also wouldn't be funny.

#The long awaited legend has arrived.

####Two seater carrier capable aircraft, featuring a unique flight model, revolutionary cockpit, new gameplay elements, and entirely badass.

The Crumman F-14B Tomcat is not in any way affiliated or referencing real world organizations or aircraft. Similarities are purely coincidental.

Cockpit(s)

The aircraft contains two cockpits for you and only you to switch between, the first cockpit contains everything you need to steer and fly your Tomcat. That being a steering wheel, a big throttle lever thing thats hard to reach, and the rest of your standard F/A-26B style cockpit.

You might be wondering "Why does this boat need all that engine" and that's because that thang do be flying. Hit the flight mode button located to the right of the steering wheel to switch to the usual stick and throttle you're used to. When taking off from the ocean the water sometimes gets a little in the way, we've developed a super secret cant tell you technology to solve that. Hit the takeoff mode whatever thing to the left of the steering wheel ish to raise your boat a little more over the water and recieve less drag, then just pull up and fly.

The second cockpit can be switched to via the switch seat button located just to the right of the base of the steering wheel i think maybe, that will then move you down to the epic cockpit. This one gives you a TSD with all of the normal stuffs but also a new custom page for controlling your units. The UCS (Unit Control System) gives you a top down view of your aircraft showing the locations of all the equipped units and their status. There is also two elevators you can select to move up and down for any aircraft that have landed on you. To enable each weapon you need Master Arm on. You can toggle each weapon to be armed individually by pressing them and hitting the toggle arm button in the bottom left. You can also force them to fire on a specific target by selecting a target on the TSD, EOTS, or maybe something else idk, and clicking the fire button in the bottom right.

Weapons

The aircraft has a good few weapons. An M230 Gunny gun, Phalanx CIWS, Mk 29 Launcher firing RIM-162 ESSMs, a UCAV Launcher launching MQ-101s that are manufactured on boat infinitely and speedy through epic secret manufacturing technology, GLSDB Launcher firing GPS glide bombs or something idk, and an ASM launcher firing some anti ship missiles or something i dont remember im kinda giving up on writing this..

The UCAV Launcher and GLSDB Launcher may require you to wait for them to get into position first before firing.

##Satisfied Customer Reviews

** Syrillic**: "wtf man, you made me get so excited for this shit. It probably took longer to make this mod than it would to make an actual f14 mod. Go fuck yourself"
Mwiadro: "Come on man? You really had to do us like that?"
el_alixo: "ummm.. you are an aircraft carrier"
Zuulomyx: "Whenever I launch the new F-14 mod I get put into the bridge of a supercarrier instead of the plane. It just seems kinda mean."
nuggi nugget: "Is it just me who downloaded a f14 tomcat mod and it was an aircraft carrier instead?"
Danku: "What? Not Grumman F-14B Tomcat?! What is this? Some kind of April Fools 2023?"

F45 Touchscreen Target Selection

Slew? More like ew

By Afroman

In folder 7klv3fg4

Allows you to select targets by pressing on them in the TSD. Great for quickly selecting targets or if you want to be ATC in multiplayer

Side note: Added a decimal place next to the altitude of the target, so 10,210 feet shows up as 10.2 rather than just 10. Should make it a bit easier for ATC

F16 Betty and RWR Pack

Bring the F-16's iconic Betty aural warning system and RWR into your jet.

By Quantify

In folder l22ntju7

This pack requires the Custom Betty mod loaded to function. Download it here: https://vtolvr-mods.com/mod/3daljjpl/

A sound pack for Cheese's Custom Betty Mod that replaces default voice sounds and RWR tones with the F-16's Betty. All tones are from the real aircraft.

RWR tones are as realistic as possible - some elements of the ALR-69 suite remain classified. In cases where there is no real-life sound available, I have used custom ones to suit the mod. There is no "shoot" or "pitbull" tone in the real F-16, so they are custom-made for this mod, spliced from other F-16 sounds.

S Cam Plus

@ me if there's any more modes you want

Todo:

Refactor
Add saving
Add pancake UI (like AI tweeks)
Make mouse pointer hiding optional
Refactor camera modes to run on fixed updates and interpolate in-between frames for consistent camera moves.

Auto Refuel

Too lazy to refuel? Have I got the mod for you!

By THE_GREAT_OVERLORD_OF_ALL_CHEESE

In folder dm4vwzc3

Are you too lazy to do air to air refuelling? Have I got the mod for you! Simply fly close to a fuel tanker of your choosing, and open the fuel port. Then a state of the art autopilot system will take control and automatically refuel for you! Simply close the refuelling port when you are done, and continue doing more of whatever it is you like to do in VTOL VR. (Obv make sure your fuel tanks are not full)

Custom Scenario Assets

Custom AI Units and static object for your scenarios!

By THE_GREAT_OVERLORD_OF_ALL_CHEESE

In folder 7ekcqp7f

##Allows you to load and save new static objects and custom units into the VTS files!

###Features:

-Makes it possible to add new custom static objects and custom units with mods!

Comes with:

-Placable aircraft carrier catapults and arrestors!

-A Brius!

###Scenario Creation Instructions:

Note: Uploading scenarios to the workshop has been disabled because if a user without this mod attempts to play the modified scenarios, their game will softlock.

Simply load the mod in the main menu, then enter the mission creator. All the assets are under "static objects", you can place them and they will be saved in the VTS file of the mission. If you upload them to the workshop, make sure to disclaimer them, and remind people that they will need to download this mod, and whatever other assets your mission requires.

###Asset bundle instructions: I will make a proper video tutorial for making the asset bundles, but for now, I will just have these text instructions. First step, make a prefab, the origin will be the part that touches the ground. Attach the VT Static Object or an AISpawn component to the prefab. Do not use spaces in the name of the prefab as it causes problems with the VTS system. I recommend prefixing the prefabs name with your username. Do this to avoid overlapping names, someone else might model the same thing as you. The prefab name is what is used to identify the object when saving and loading, so avoid changing it at all. Please remember to use unitys LoD system so that tiny details are not being rendered at all times. Next, create the asset bundle, you can find instructions online, or ask on the discord. Make sure the file extension is ".csa", this is how my mod knows that your file should be loaded as an asset bundle. Next, create a folder in your mods folder and place the .csa inside of it. When it works and you are happy with it, you can create the .json and upload to the modding website. When uploading assets, try and keep them in "themed" packs, or just upload them all as a pack of your assets under your name, rather than individual models. This will avoid users having to download large numbers of individual mods to play missions, which would make everything harder for everyone.

These instructions are probably not terribly helpful, so feel free to ask me for help on the discord!

Custom Nametag

X02S Wyvern Custom Aircraft

What the hell was that!

By Bovine74

In folder ryuh46ye

The X-02S Strike Wyvern is the strike aircraft from the Ace Combat series. It has a fully modeled exterior and interior done by the always amazing modeler Boris, and has its own flight model and configuration.

It has a forward swept wing configuration, with auto adjust wing tips when the auto button is switched on (left hand side of the cockpit, green means Auto Sweep is on). You can also set the wing sweep using the sweep switch to open or closed.

The X-02S Strike Wyvern can achieve turn rates in excess of 35 DPS, and has almost insane low speed stability. It is stable up to about 1.8 mach at low altitudes, and can reach upto around 3 mach at high altitude.

The Wyvern carries a bunch of the latest missiles, uses a TSD like the F45, and has very small RCS making it highly stealth capable. It has 11 Hardpoints though the no 11 is really reserved for the railgun which will be released later.

The EOTS is similar to the F45, with a longer range and easier lock on. However to compensate its lock on is harder to hold on target. The EOTS can be controlled on the joystick, and the joystick includes a button to make the EOTS the SOI when on the TSD, and a knob on the side that will increase or decrease the zoom, meaning you have better HOTAS.

The TCS can also be controlled by two knobs and a button on the throttle. If you have trouble locking on with the radar, then let go of the joystick and regrip (something is bugging the joystick selector).

Known Bugs:

1) Radar selection has a minor bug where sometimes you cant select without letting go of the joystick.

2) On landing it pulls slight to the left after you brake.

3) Includes some v basic custom scenarios, however to see them click on "Custom Scenarios", then go back, then go back again, then go next, then back and you should see them in the menu, yeah I dont know why either

4) No carrier catapult, you don't need it anyway, just take off at full throttle

5) Altitude autopilot can be wobbly

6) if you want to maintain level flight simply putting on your AP HDG should be enough, it tends to dip to the right

Hints:

This thing switches between swing and flat at about 300kts, at that point it will fly differently

if you are gooing Mach 2 and try to pull a 9g turn it will be unstable

Trying to pull 11g turns at 200 knots is not a good idea in real life, stick full AB on and you might recover, you might not

Thanks to: Boris (model) Kano (codeyboi and a shoulder to cry on)

SABRE Upgrades

SABRE Upgrade

By コテ

In folder nglllt5e

Adds in a new Engine Configuration for the FA26, F45, and T-55 engines. These Engines can be selected in the loadout configurator so if you want to switch back no need to uninstall anything. IMPORTANT This mod requires Custom Weapon Base. Do NOT load the SABRE Upgrades mod itself in game as it could cause issues(or do nothing), ONLY load the Custom Weapon Base Mod and it will load SABER on its own. The selection should show up under Hardpoint 19(FA26), Hardpoint 14(F45), and Hardpoint 12(T-55) .

Thanks to DankuwOs for making the Custom Weapons Base which you can find here: https://vtolvr-mods.com/mod/xivnzzkv/

Note Multiplayer Compatibility is questionable i haven't had any time to test it but if you run into anything just submit a bug report.

Tacview Data Logger

Record your VTOL VR flights for review in Tacview!

By nebriv

In folder ctvzwocs

VTOL VR Tacview Data Logger Mod

Hello and welcome to the VTOL VR Tacview Data Logger mod!

It's been long time in the making and a fairly significant undertaking for me. The Tacview data log allows players to record their flights in real time and save all enemy, allied and player vehicle flight data. The data log (in ACMI format) can then be opened within the Tacview software for review, tactical analysis and determination as to why exactly the carrier did not clear you to land!

Just a couple of notes to start off with. I'm not a game developer and I don't work in C#, so I may have taken some shortcuts. I'm well aware this mod is not as well optimized as it could and should be. On large maps with numerous actors this mod could introduce significant lag as it loops through and collects all the necessary data. Future iterations will be able to handle this a bit better.

Demos

Example flight (2v2) on Akutan

Example flight

Highlighting the various Tacview models

Showing off the various models

Fox 2! Showing off the flares and missile tracking

Fox 2!

Even supports bombing runs!

Pickle!

Rolling scissors with an ASF-33.

Rolling Scissors

So thats why I wasn't cleared for a conventional landing...

Whoops!

Usage

To use the mod simply install the mod, launch the game, and enable the mod. At the time of writing it is important that you enable the mod every time you start the game. Once you begin a flight scene the data logger will automatically begin recording, as of now there is no positive indication of the recording in flight.

Requirements

Tacview must be installed. I've been developing against the Advanced version, but I believe the starter version should work.
- https://www.tacview.net/product/about/en/
VTOLVR Modloader must be installed and functional.
- https://vtolvr-mods.com/
VTOL VR must be legitimately purchased and installed.
- https://vtolvr.bdynamicsstudio.com/

Downloading and Installing

This mod will be available for download on https://vtolvr-mods.com (Insert direct link when uploaded). I would recommend using the One-Click Install function to automatically download the mod.

Alternatively you can download the latest release here: https://github.com/nebriv/VTOLVR-TacviewLogger/releases/latest

If you are manually installing you need to place the downloaded zip file in your VTOL VR Game folder inside the VTOLVR_ModLoader\mods\ directory. The mod loader should automatically detect and unzip it for you once launched.

Running

To use the mod simply launch the game via the mod loader (open the mod loader and press play). Once in game, after you click start you should see a "Mods" button. Open the mods page, select the Tacview Data Logger and click load. You should be good to go! At the start of the first few missions (and on those of particular importance) I would recommend browsing to the TacViewDataLogs folder within the VTOL VR game folder, and making sure you see a new folder with today's date and time, in that folder should be the three files described below.

Data Structure

All flight recordings are stored in the VTOL VR Game Folder under TacViewDataLogs. Within this folder multiple folders with the datetime stamp of the flight will be created. Within this flight folder three files should be created.

datalog.acmi
- This is the primary datalog created for viewing in Tacview. With Tacview installed, you should simply be able to double click this and open it.
customHeightMapXML.txt
- This is custom XML used to display the exported heightmap. See the heightmap section below.
heightmap_MAPName.data
- This is the heightmap data. Copy this file into C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Custom. See Height Maps/Terrain for more details.

Logged Parameters

All active actors (vehicles and projectiles) within a scene are logged. The following parameters are generally all logged. Some ground and water vehicles may not contain all applicable data.

AOA
IAS
Altitude
AGL
Location
Callsign/Designation

Models

VTOL VR models can be added to Tacview via the following steps:

Copy the vtolvr.xml file to C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Database\Default Properties
Copy all the .obj files from the assets folder into C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Meshes

All VTOL VR models are properly of Boundless Dynamics, LLC. except the F-45 and F/A-26 Models created by F/A-26B on the VTOL VR Discord Channel.

Height Maps/Terrain

Height maps are generally generated and exported at the start of every mission. They will be located in the mission's datalog folder. You should see customHeightMapXML.txt and heightmap_MAPNAME.data. To use this heightmap in Tacview follow the below steps.

If you haven't done so, copy the CustomHeightmapList.xml file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview (beta)\Data\Terrain\Custom into C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Custom.
Copy the .data file to C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Custom.
Copy the contents of the customHeightMapXML.txt file (Except for "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>") into the new CustomHeightmapList.xml (C:\ProgramData\Tacview\Data\Terrain\Custom\CustomHeightmapList.xml) between the <CustomHeightmapList> nodes. Any XML parsing errors in this file will cause Tacview to not properly load the terrain.

Reporting Bugs

If you wish to report any bugs you can do so by creating a new Issue in this Github repository or you can contact me on the VTOL VR modding discord (@nebriv0001). When reporting bugs please include as much detail as possible including steps to reproduce. If possible please include your player.log file as well as your TacviewDataLogger data for the mission(s) in question.

Known Issues

Bullets "bounce" back and are reused when fired for a long time.

Planned Features

Additional performance optimizations.
Live streaming to a Tacview Client near you! I plan on adding functionality to enable live streaming of data.
Additional telemetry data.
Support for Explosions/Chaff/Shrapnel/Smoke.

F16C Fighting Falcon Viper Mod

She gonna bite

By Bovine74

In folder dq6vaeq3

It's back in all new form, the F-16C Viper custom aircraft mod. Now works with FA-26 basic missions, and you can create your own missions by loading the aircraft first and using the mission editor. Works with the official mp if you create scenarios containing the aircraft.

This aircraft has its own full flight model, instruments, as well as a DED that provides you with information on recently fired missiles.

It also comes with the new Nav Map from the Tejas/Wyvern as well as weapons appropriate to its loadouts.

There is no limiter on the speed btw, if you do above 1.2 Mach at sea level, or 1.4 at 5k it will become instable just like real life

Convair F106A

The Ultimate Interceptor

By sexgod420

In folder qkjxyl36

The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft of the United States Air Force from the 1960s through to the 1980s. Designed as the so-called "Ultimate Interceptor", it proved to be the last specialist interceptor in U.S. Air Force service to date.

This is an early version of a CSA unit.

Maximum speed: 1,325 kn (1,525 mph, 2,454 km/h) at 40,000 ft (12,192 m) Mach 2.3

Service ceiling: 57,000 ft (17,000 m)

F18 Betty and RWR Pack

"Flight controls, flight controls!" Bring the F/A-18's aural warning suite into your cockpit.

By Quantify

In folder 5nmnmehc

This pack requires the Custom Betty mod loaded to function. Download it here: https://vtolvr-mods.com/mod/3daljjpl/

A sound pack for Cheese's Custom Betty Mod that replaces default voice sounds and RWR tones with the F/A-18's Betty. All tones are from the real aircraft, custom-made by me.

The RWR suite is as accurate as possible, with a few extra additions for situational awareness. Various sounds are removed to emulate a realistic Hornet experience (e.g. chaff/flare.)

Saab JAS 39 C Gripen

🇸🇪 Swedish engineering at it's finest! 🇸🇪

By NotPolar

In folder 5evoxi7f

You might know Saab for their cars, but have you ever heard of their jets? The Saab JAS-39 series of light fighter jets were built for versatility and can perform a wide range of tasks such as reconnaissance, air-to-ground and air-to-air.

***NOW WORKS WITH VTOL VR v1.9.5+!*** Three pictures of plane

*Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Yes it is.*

Multiplayer compatibility is not yet confirmed but might work, please tell me if you try!

The model isn't made by me, but heavily edited and "fixed" in some areas. Interior buttons and MFDs are taken from BCAT.

Includes a custom Litening TGP and External fuel tank (3500L).

Not entirely bug-free.

*New cockpit model with improved colors, custom throttle, and interchangeable flags*

Enjoy the mod and submit feedback over on the VTOL VR Modding Discord @notpolak (Polak) or submit a bug report on here!

Known bugs:

- AIM-120 missiles are broken and will pitbull randomly, use the mod [Jank missiles](https://vtolvr-mods.com/mod/w2evplip/) to get working AIM-120s! - NAV page is a bit broken and the map might glitch out - G-limit is a bit low, for now turn the G limiter off when turns are needed. - Wobbling at high speeds due to flight assist.

Future features:

- MIRRORS! - New knobs and switches - Some general cleaning up in the cockpit

Custom Instrument Lights

For any vibe you want

By Afroman

In folder 53uyxagy

Makes the instrument and cockpit lights of all the aircraft glow whatever the heck you want. Works with the bleeding edge multiplayer mod too. Haven't tested it with the base multiplayer mod, but decent chance it will work for that too. For bleeding edge it definitely works as of version 2.4.7.

Contrails

Yep, those are contrails

By THE_GREAT_OVERLORD_OF_ALL_CHEESE

In folder 36e67qjc

Compatible with multiplayer!

Adds contrails to every engine above 5000m. I'm not quite sure the effect looks good enough, so tell me if you know how to make it look better!

TSD SAM Circle

Guesstimation at its finest

By Afroman

In folder leqsthoa

Shows estimated range of a SAM's radar based on your current radar cross section. Updates in real time as you lose external weaponry

Notes:

-The estimation is based on the F-45's starboard(right) radar cross section (a worst case scenario)

-Keep in mind, you are way more stealthy facing directly towards or away from the radar, so you can still enter the SAM circle without being detected

Cheeses AI Tweaks

Many small tweaks and improvements to the games AI!

By THE_GREAT_OVERLORD_OF_ALL_CHEESE

In folder qjz3scqr

Ever wished the AI seemed more human? This is the mod for you!

#Features:

####-Persistent Settings

Settings are saved between sessions of VTOL, so you only have to set them up once!

####-MP Compatible!

It works with the multiplayer mod!

####-Control Noise

This setting adds noise to the inputs of the AI. This makes them wobble around and make them look much more human. The intensity and frequency of the noise are adjustable so you can make the aircraft seems extremely drunk just for fun!

####-Wing Rocking

The AI aircraft will rock their wings on contact with the enemy to indicate they have seen them. I read Biggles once and I thought it was cool.

####-Drop Tanks

Normally the AI will only drop their fuel tanks when they are completely empty. However, you can customise it so that they will drop their fuel tanks on contact with the enemy, to give them the edge in the fight!

####-Enemy Ejector Seats

Adds ejector seats to all of the enemy aircraft that are manned. Now finally the ASF are safe as well! Also adds crew that bail out of the AWACS and refuel plane when they are destroyed!

####-Collisions

By default, you cannot collide with AI aircraft that are taxiing in VTOL. This setting allows you to change that! You can enable the collisions on the ground so that you can ram into other aircraft, or alternatively, you can disable collisions in the air, allowing you to fly through other AI.

####-RWR

Only specific allied aircraft in VTOL are equipped with RWR systems. This setting will give RWR to all the enemy aircraft and the allied aircraft that don't have it. This won't necessarily make the AI better at fighting, but it will increase their situational awareness of threats. This setting is disabled by default.

Edit: I have successfully cyberbullied Baha into making this stock on the public testing branch.

####-Evasive Manuevers for Large Aircraft

The KC-49 and E-4 are not normally allowed to notch and perform other evasive manoeuvres to avoid incoming missiles, this setting allows them to try. It's unlikely to actually save them from missiles due to the lack of countermeasures and the low manoeuvrability of the aircraft.

####-Googly Eyes

Yes

####-Inverted AI

This used to be its own mod, but it's now included in this mod. Quite simply: it makes all the fly AI inverted! Why? Why not!

MAGIC CARPET

Makes landing on the carrier easier

By Afroman

In folder r6e24mwf

(note: currently unavailable for the AV-42)

#Video tutorial Youtube video--> <--- click me!

#Text Tutorial (A little more in depth than the video) ##HUD Elements There are two new HUD elements.

-The Glide Slope Reference Line (G-REF): the G-REF is a line that is 3.5 degrees below the horizon and is enabled when you put the hook down.

-The Ship Relative Velocity Vector(SRVV): is a red velocity vector that is relative to the ship (meaning that wherever you point the vector on the ship, that's where the nose gear of your plane will land). The SRVV enables when MAGIC CARPET is enabled and you MUST request landing on the carrier that you wish to land on in order for the SRVV to activate

##Flight Control Laws -Throttle: The throttle no longer controls the engines. It only disables MAGIC CARPET when you go into afterburner

-Joystick: Controlling yaw and roll is the same as normal, however moving forward and aft on the joystick no longer controls pitch (pitch is automatically controlled and kept at 5 degrees above the horizon). Moving the stick forward and aft now moves your SRVV up and down, which makes glide slope corrections simpler to make

##Employment

Put the hook down to see the Glide Slope Reference Line (G-REF)
Important: Use the comms menu to request landing at the carrier you wish to land on. This is so the Ship Relative Velocity Vector (SRVV) knows which ship to use as a reference.
Enable MAGIC CARPET by pressing the pickle button (the button you use to switch weapons). MAGIC CARPET will only enable while your Master-Arm is off and your landing gear is down.
Move the stick forward or aft in order to align the G-REF a little bit below the carrier's OLS(the glide slope lights)
Once the G-REF is aligned, move the stick forward or aft in order to align the SRVV with the G-REF
After hitting the deck, go into afterburner or press the pickle button to disable MAGIC CARPET(TIP: Your SRVV should be a little bit ahead of the wires in order to catch them)

##Description This mod is based on the U.S Navy's MAGIC CARPET system for their F/A-18 super hornets. It aims to emulate the flight control laws in order to make it easier to land on the boat in the FA-26B and F-45.

Edge 540

Ha ha propeller go nyooooooom!

By Adrian

In folder uxbntkfq

[DISCLAIMER: THIS MOD IS NO LONGER IN DEVELOPMENT. THE CREATOR HAS TASKED ME TO UPLOAD THIS, ALONG WITH SOME OF THEIR OTHER MODS TO THE WEBSITE.]

If any help is needed, please contact Adrian_#6969 on discord, I'll do my best to assist you.

The newest mod of the 5, the Edge 540. The Edge 540 is a small, single seater race plane. Sadly this is the most unfinished mod of the 5, because everything was made by hand (other than the code) the model on this mod was the main focus as it was meant to be sold. So the functions are incredibly limited. The most painful part of this mod is that it was the easiest to make, because the cockpit and startup is 3 switches.

(SELECT THE FA-26B FROM THE AIRCRAFT SELECTION MENU OR THIS MOD WILL NOT WORK)

List of known bugs:

The plane is incredibly small, so it floats 20 ft off the ground

The throttle is hidden outside of the cockpit

90% of the cockpit is hidden outside of the walls

The propeller on the nose does not spin (this was beyond annoying in development)

The control surfaces do not move at all

Absolutely nothing has changed to the functionality, or flight model from the FA-26B

French Air Missile Pack

Header Image Have fun blowing stuff up, Freedom Missiles

By Bovine74

In folder 7iwdk4io

This is a pack of three French Missiles designed to be primarily used with the Mirage 2000C-X custom aircraft.

Matra 550m Magic II - Short range IR, air to air missile, similar to the AIM9-X, slightly less agile, but with a better initial speed burst.
Matra Super R530D - Semi Active Radar, similar to the AIM-7, you need to keep your target radar locked.
MBDA Meteor - Modern BVR missile, using ramjet technology this missile flies further and faster, utilising high end radar and maneuvering designs this missile is one of the deadliest you can buy.
GIAT 30 - The dual cannon of the Mirage, is a perfect choice for that dogfighting Mirage, it is specially designed for this
BAGU-3773 - A little fun missile, that is superfast and maneuverable, but has no explosive warhead and just makes a bonk noise on contact. Listen to the sound whilst watching SCAM for the ultimate Moulin Rouge experience.

Now work with all suitable aircraft including any custom aircraft. Internal Bay versions of the weapons have now been included for use in the f45.

Smoke and Mirrors

Convert the F/A-26B into an airshow demonstration aircraft.

By Hotshot

In folder kobuhssm

Smoke System

A smoke system that can be equipped to the gun slot.

A 200 liter smoke oil tank is installed in place of the gun. The oil is routed to a nozzle that sprays it into the left engine exhaust, where it burns to create the smoke.
Smoke is only visible when the left engine is running and the afterburner is not engaged. The extreme heat of the afterburner causes the oil to vaporize instantly.
Four different smoke colors are available (white, red, green, and blue).
The tank has enough capacity for 20 total minutes of use and can be reloaded.
The countermeasure controls are replaced with smoke controls.
- Use the smoke panel to arm/pressurize the system.
- Use the throttle forward thumb button (chaff/flare) to turn the system on, and the throttle aft thumb button (unused in the base game) to turn it off.

Additional Modifications

These modifications are always present, but can be individually disabled in the mod settings if desired.

Side Mirrors

Adds side mirrors so you can get a better look at your wingmen. The side mirrors are identical to the top mirror and can be folded away when not needed.

Stopwatch

Replaces the autopilot panel with a stopwatch. This is used by formation demonstration teams to time opposing passes, landing intervals, and other things.

Others?

None for now, but I have a few more ideas.

Multiplayer compatible. Thanks to Bertmern, Spring, Fenrir, cgann, Kazper, Snowy Blue, and Julian from Hawks & Talks Formation Group and FinnM and Indigo from VTOL VR White Diamonds aerobatic team for helping me test. Thanks to Temperz87 and DankuwOs for figuring out how to add custom weapons. Thanks to Baha for creating the game.

TriquetraInput 2

Updates to frdhog's original TriquetraInput mod.

By muskit

In folder b63xs5so

Updates over frdhog's TriquetraInput mod.

IMPORTANT: UNINSTALL THE ORIGINAL TriquetraInput FROM frdhog BEFORE RUNNING THIS MOD!

This mod allows DirectInput devices or the keyboard to control VR elements like the joystick, throttle, flaps, etc.

Bindings are saved in VTOL VR\SaveData\triquetrainput.xml. You may need to create the SaveData folder if your binds do not save.

Auto-running

Make sure this mod's "Load On Start Check" is set to true in "VTOL VR\VTOLVR_ModLoader\settings.json" (this is only until LOS is re-added to the modloader properly). If this mod isn't present in the json, check and uncheck the "Auto Update" checkbox in the launcher to refresh settings.json.

Changes from original mod

fix bug that spams all keyboard bindings when moving certain joystick axes.
fix mod breaking when a controller gets unplugged

Contributions Wanted!

I've fixed a couple things with this mod, but I won't be focusing a lot on further major expansions and fixes. If you know how to mod, please feel free to fork this mod and send pull requests to my repo; I'd be happy to take a look and potentially merge!

Please note, the textures may not be up to VR standards. I also DO NOT claim any models used in this pack as my own. All model rights go to their respective creators and/or trademark holders. Follow the links on each asset to see where I got them from.

Z-95 Headhunter (AI)

An older design, but still gets the job done. Armed with standard dual laser cannons.

A-Wing (AI)

Advanced fighter-interceptor. Armed with standard dual laser cannons.

Tie Fighter (AI)

Simple Imperial fighter. Armed with standard dual laser cannons.

Tie Interceptor (AI)

Advanced fighter-interceptor. Armed with 4 advanced laser cannons.

Victory-I Star Destroyer (WIP)

Half the size of an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer, but still packs a punch. Armed with 8 quad-barrel main batteries and 40 dual-barrel secondary guns.

Please note, the VSDI is very tough to destroy. There are 2 shield generators (non-functional), main reactor (bubble on bottom), a communications antenna, as well as 2 large and 2 small engines. All have their own health, but when destroyed, do not damage the main ship health. I am unsure how to allow the damage to carry over once destroyed.

Follow the development on Trello!

Currently Known Bugs:

Sometimes, loading in the hangar doesn't work.
Sometimes the AI just refuse to launch.
The VSD ALWAYS appears at 825m in the air. This is a fault in the game itself.

MaccyDs Snack Time Bobblehead

For when you really need a mid flight snack, why not take a Big Mac and Drink to go. Thanks to Gentl

By Bovine74

In folder o4inzdnz

Ever thought that you could do with a mid flight snack? Are you an AV42 pilot just banging tunes out, shuttling your guys back and forth like an Uber? Why not stop off at the McDonald's on the way and get yourself a burger, fries and drink and plop it on to your dashboard for later.

Great thanks to Gentle for the code and tutorial.

HAL Tejas CAT Implementation

Cats go meow, BCATs go vroom

By Bovine74

In folder pyt6ztpn

This is a flyable version of the HAL Tejas Indian Jet Fighter.

It was created as the starter example of the BCAT, Basic Custom Aircraft Template, its not the greatest model, the most exciting of aircraft or the most unusual.

However it is a good place to start implementing simple aircraft.

It also comes with some French missiles to show how to add custom missiles to custom aircraft. To enable these you need to install CWB and enable it.

The aircraft will eventually be released as a unitypackage alongside the source code. A youtube series will also follow showing how to convert this aircraft into another one.

Cortana Betty Voice Pack

Cortana as your Betty

By GrizzlyGlizzy

In folder pwjcap5v

This is a voice pack for the Custom Betty mod. You need to have that downloaded as well for this to work.

This is an A.I. synthesized voice of Cortana from Halo.

Auto GCAS

A band-aid fix for a surgery-problem.

By GentleLeviathan

In folder cuwwq5vp

Experimental Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System, designed to protect the pilot from G-LOC induced ground collisions.

Let go of the joystick to enable the system, or use the new automatic blackout detection feature to override your lifeless inputs!

Please note: This will not currently prevent CFIT or high-G control loss, only G-LOC-related collisions. Warranty void if engines tilted.

Bee Ultralight

Yeehaw! No pilot's liscence!

By tytugg

In folder 44nd4j2q

An ultralight plane for just flying around.

This plane has 1 loadout (Bazooka Charlie) for now, but it's not a combat aircraft. Have fun just flying around in freeflight. Try landing on helipads, whatever! ..I don't know if it flies realistically for an ultralight, but I fly RC planes and I think it feels pretty good.

Center stick mode recommended, you can change to centerstick using the MFD

FlatScreen 2

Without "VR" it's just VTOL.

By muskit

In folder mrz6pogi

An update/overhaul of frdhog's original FlatScreen mod.

MAKE SURE TO UNINSTALL THE ORIGINAL MOD BEFORE RUNNING THIS ONE!!!

Auto-running

To easily get into the game with FlatScreen, make this mod's "Load On Start Check" is set to true in "VTOL VR\VTOLVR_ModLoader\settings.json" (this is only until LOS is re-added to the modloader properly). If FlatScreen 2 isn't part of the list, check and uncheck the "Auto Update" checkbox in the launcher to refresh settings.json.

Changes from original mod

can initialize with VR active
new mouse controls
avatar body hidden to more easily see cockpit
HMCS and NVG now work properly
less likely to require camera resetting
certain options now save
various minor bug/QoL fixes

Controlling

Hold right mouse button to look around, or use TrackIR. Use left click to click buttons, flick levers and toggle doors. You can use the scroll wheel to turn knobs, move levers, and adjust throttle.

To fly with your joystick(s), use TriquetraInput 2.
