I was scrolling through google this morning and saw a photoshopped A300, so I thought the perfectly logical thing to do was make it fly in SimplePlanes. So I did. It won’t take off, but it can land from an approach and fly pretty well in general. Well, here you go: the Airbus A3!

nice
i made it fly but it looks like a stubby MD-80
Thanks!
The problem isn't the weight distribution though, the center of thrust is too low, forcing the plane up. If I remove weight from the back, it'll also pitch down farther than trim will be able to correct.
Nice plane. You can get it to take off if you adjust the fuel load. Reduce the load in the back section to keep the tail from dropping, then reduce the front two sections to adjust the trim. Front to back 60%/60%/50% will get you off the ground with a slight pitch down.
