I am working on the A350, which will take a while. In the meantime, as I have nothing worthwhile to show you guys, I have started to fix problems in my existing builds.

---

This plane came out with a lot of technical problems. The pitot tubes were floating, and the wheels explode. I have fixed all the major and minor problems I have came across during subsequent testing, and this plane should be more enjoyable to fly now. This version also includes part smoothing added in 1.10, as well as (maybe) some funky tree and landing gear updates which I might have forgotten. There are also airplane variants in the works, so also expect them soon.

The RJ230-300

This is the first model in my fictional RJ230 series. I have been working on it for the past two months. It is a large regional/small narrow-body airliner that seats up to 185 passengers in a high-density, one class configuration or 152 passengers in a conventional two-class configuration.

Features:

• Fully functional flaps and landing gear
• custom wings
• Exterior details such as doors, windows, APU, pitot tubes, and probes
• Large 3m tall winglets for reduced drag and wake turbulence, allowing greater fuel efficiency and increased range

ENJOY!

I have worked very hard on this. If you like the plane, please consider giving an upvote, spotlight, or follow. I hope this does not count as "begging", but instead a sincere request.

If this plane gets 200 downloads I will make a mobile version for the worst of potatoes out there
