"Boundless Dynamics, formerly known as Bahamuto Dynamics, is the official developer and publisher of VTOL VR. It is managed by developer Paolo Encarnación, also known as BahamutoD."

The game "VTOL Vr" launched on (filler) with 3 aircraft alliable, now with 6 total.

Aircraft

Av-42C "Kestrel"

Not exactly based off any aircraft, The Kestrel is a VTOL (Vertical Take off and landing) Aircraft capable of carrying up to 8 people.

Strategy

The AV-42C's VTOL capability means that it flourishes in the field of air-to-ground combat. It is capable of equipping a Myriad of Missile and Bombs across its pylons, allowing it to fill a wide variety of ground-based combat roles. In horizontal flight, the AV-42C functions well as a strike aircraft; it can launch missiles at and drop bombs on targets at high speeds before going back around to make further passes. In vertical flight, however, it becomes a formidable asset in close air support tactics; its stabilized vertical flight allows it to make clean strafing runs against ground targets while maintaining a strong positional advantage against threats such as MANPADS units on the ground. The biggest drawback of the AV-42C is that it remains somewhat vulnerable to hostile interceptor aircraft. As far as maneuverability goes, VTOL aircraft generally aren't very nimble in the skies, so one should be extra careful in the presence of enemies with radar-guided missiles available. Additionally, unlike aircraft like the F/A-26B, the AV-42C has no onboard radar and can only equip heat-seeking missiles, making it a nonviable option for engaging hostile aircraft in an offensive posture.

Transport

The AV-42C is uniquely able to load up and transport up to 8 allied infantry units at a time. There is a switch in the right side of the AV-42C's cockpit for controlling the side doors for the passenger compartment. Passenger transport is facilitated through objectives and triggers in the Mission Editor. To receive passengers, the AV-42C must be landed and have its doors open. From there, passengers will load into the AV-42C and can be transported to other destinations and let out the same way they would be let in. Each soldier loaded into the AV-42C adds 90kg of mass to the aircraft while loaded.

F-26B "Wasp"

Based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, and the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle

F-45A "Stealth Fighter"

No given nickname from Boundless Dynamics, the F-45A can carry 32 different objects (not at the same time)

For the main gun the F-45A can carry the GAU-22 Redemer. The Redemer is a four barreled, 25mm Gatling autocannon.

DLC

AH-94 "Dragonfly"

Based off the Boeing AH-64 Apache, the AH-94 is the best CAS in Vtol VR with an experienced pilot. The AH-94 contains 8 Hardpoints. The AH-64 was Vtol VR's dedicated attack helicopter designed chiefly for air-to-ground combat. It was released on January 6, 2022, as VTOL VR's first DLC. The AH-94 is known for its high maneuverability and responsiveness, allowing it to fill many close-range air support roles on the battlefield.

Cockpit

The AH-94 has a tandem cockpit design, with a pilot's seat in the rear and a co-pilot/gunner seat in the front. Both seats allow for the complete operation of the flight controls and weapons systems. Only one crew member can have control of the flight controls at a time, with a designation light displaying who is in control. In singleplayer, it is possible to switch seats to fly from either position. The copilot in singleplayer is present only for decoration and has no actual in-game functionality.

Controls

In Multiplayer games, up to two pilots can fly a single AH-94, allowing aircraft functions to be delegated between the two players at will. In the copilot's seat, the TEDAC (TADS Electronic Display And Control) is located in between the two MFDs, allowing for easier interaction with the TADS (Target Acquisition and Designation Sight) or other manually-operated targeting systems.
