📋 About This Mod
!!!HAS TO BE INSTALLED ON BOTH SERVERS AND CLIENTS!!!
Need something with more comfort than the rough-edged gyrocopter? The MD-500 should suit you perfectly!
Has same storage as the gyro, but can carry a total of 4 people.
High fuel consumption, but holds quite a bit.
Has a wide search light.
Does fly a bit odd. Doesn't have any roll to it, so it can be tricky lining up landings just right.
"W" is lift, "A" and "D" turn it, "S" makes it fall quicker, "C" rotates the nose down and "Space" rotates the nose up.
