The name says it all pretty much... just a massive airliner with so much fuel. cabin window arrangement is inspired from Airbus A380 and Boeing 747, the rest I just went for it. Haven't calculated out passenger capacity, but at the thickest point in the fuselage, a row would be fitted with 12 seats. She's a heavy bird, and is designed to roll rather slowly.
Additional fine-tuning will happen a little later.
AG 1 - Turbine fans start-up / hazard lights
AG 2 - Thrust ignition
AG 3 - Taxi lights (I had a lot of fun with these)
AG 4 - Navigation / anti-collision lights
AG 5 - Take-off lights
AG 6 - Reverse thruster
AG 7 - Airbrakes
Landing lights activate with landing gear extended
Best approach to control her is thru the joystick mode / option
Take-off at 330mph, flaps (VTOL) at 1/4 down
For landing, engines to 60% and flaps to 3/4 down, set trim to full down, applying a bit of pitch input to maintain descent and angle. She doesn't land as forgivingly as some of my other airliners so treat her gentle.

@Sergio666 thank you so much for the upvote and the spotlight! Much appreciated :)
@fleia262 That is still very huge. I’m looking forward to seeing this bird regardless. 😊
@Boeing777x i imagine the rebuild will probably be between 2,500 and 3,500...
Okay the original version of the Skycity carried 3,654 passengers, so how many passengers will the remake carry?
@fleia262 Ooooh! Now that will be tons of fun to see! A full on remake of the Skycity! 😁
@Boeing777x Now that I got my scaling in check, a life-like triple decker would be fun, yes... might be a top-to-bottom remake of the Skycity cuz I love the look of it, like what I did to my 400
And I think this plane could carry between 950-1400 passengers because of the size it’s at.
Woah. That is one huge plane you got there. Definitely looks more massive than the triple decker A.47 Skycity. And speaking of which, do you plan on eventually doing another plane with 3 decks or even another with 4 decks? Just a yes or no question. 😉
