Update, probably a final one. I've moved forward and shortened the landing gear and finally made it more or less compensate the pitch up effect from deploying spoilers. If you want - make some cosmetic changes, add the hammer and sickle, meanwhile i'll write the description and you'll upload it for public. Controls are like the previous ones
p.s. I will also send you a picture of tu-114 with dimensions.
Controls:
G - Landing gear;
AG1 + THRUST - Thrust reversers. Activate than INCREASE thrust, like on real aircraft). After slowing down to 20 mph put throttle to 0 than deativate AG1
AG2 + VTOL slider - Flaps; (0% = Flaps retracted, 50% DOWN = takeoff position 100% DOWN = landing position)
AG3 + VTOL slider - Spoilers (= Airbrakes, 100% UP = Deployed, 0% = Retracted, i added a compensating mechanism to the stabiliser, but it is not yet perfect
AG4 - Aileron trim (VTOL Up- roll left, Down - right). If AG 7 is active (directional autopilot) - it also activates a gyro roll controll with VTOL for gentle turns
AG5 - Engines. Had to add a control group because smoke emitters do not work otherwise. Wish devs add smoke to the engines themselves
AG6 - Landing. Lights;
AG7 - Ascend autopilot (Activate and set trim for ascend/descend. Can turn gently, than stabilizes
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when AG8 deactivated - steers to the limit, when activated - steers 5 degrees) Positions - AG8 - ON on Take off/Landing/In flight, AG8 OFF for the ground movements

@asteroidbook345 i have made an airbrake under the fuselage
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/uk1733/Tupolev-Tu-104d-3-0-28
all controls are the same
@asteroidbook345 I have also remembered a curious feature of tu-124, tu-134 and 104e - an under-fuselage airbrake/landing spoiler. The last production model of tu-104 (tu 104-E) and first 5 pre-production tu-134 (also called tu-124A) had it. A cool feature from 1950s-1960s. It was intended to aid flaps, but was controlled separately, and from what i've read, pilots tended to use it as an airbrake in conjunction with spoilers. as tu-104d-3 was in development in the same time as tu-104e and tu-134 - our plane was quite likely to have it. I'll make it later, and i think i'll bind it to spoilers controls, it might actually make it more controllable when deploying spoilers. Please tell me when you're finished with logos.
