New Harrier Jet for 1.05

[Redshift OTF]

Here it is, an updated version for 1.05. This is a very capable and destructive ground attack aircraft!

I decided to use Wheesley engines for this version as they don't have any engine wash and that allows me to hide them inside the craft and mount the rear ones in a more realistic fashion. It also means there is no jet wash to capsize any carriers you wish to land on. I decided against Juno's as they seem too weak and I can't rotate them stock anyway. Here's a quick video of its destructive power:

Stock version = 97 parts and 20.1 tons

BD Armoury version = 119 parts and 21.6 tons

Hotkeys

1) Toggle rear engines

2) Toggle VTOL engines

3) Toggle reverse mode for rear engines

9) Toggle ladder

0) Toggle cockpit light

The VTOL engine thrust is quite powerful as I wanted the jet to be able to carry heavy BD Armoury loads if needed and I would recommend not exceeding +/- vertical speed of 25 m/s or the aerodynamics of the plane will overwhelm the jets SAS. Hover throttle is about 1 click below 2/3rds. To transition from full horizontal flight to horizontal landing I would recommend flying low to the ground, setting throttle to 2/3rds, press hotkeys 2 and 3 to activate VTOL engines and thrust reverse and engage gear and air brakes. When your speed drops to 20 m/s press hotkeys 1 and 3 and land as desired. This is demonstrated in the video. The jet also rolls a bit when yawing at high speed due to the jets high COM but it is easy to compensate for.
