Auto Credit Based on FeiWu's [CLOSED] Airliner Challenge

this is a simple airliner that i made for the airliner challenge. its got 4 cameras, 1-2 are in the cabin and 3-4 are pilot and copilot cameras. for lights ag1-5, ag1 nav lights, ag2-3 for cockpit lights, ag5 interior lights. its got 4 6000hp engines that can get this up to around 400mph( tip use small inputs for the control surfaces). this plane was a giant pain to build and im really glad to get it out, but i think the final product was well worth it. and im going to be trying out an image gallery below i hope it works ( first time trying it) yes it worked!
For takeoff:
1.set max power and make sure ag8 is activated ( for gyro, turn it off and see why I needed the gyro)
2. Wait until at around 350mph and pull up easy
3. Your off the ground but let it gain more speed and make sure trim is set to max So it doesn't nose dive right away.
Landing:
1. Set throttle to around 50% and aim for the runway with gear down ( duh)
2. Make sure your fairly level so it doesn't smack the ground to hard. Once your over the runway and about 5feet off the ground cut throttle and brake (it will take awhile so fair warning). Then when you've stoped add around 2-3% power and use yaw to move the nose wheel.
WARNING IF YOU TURN OFF THE GYRO ( AG8) YOU WILL CRASH.
Fun details
Counter rotating props
Joysticks move in succession
Working throttle lever
Passenger lights and two cameras at seats

enjoy!!

    @Kernels Ok. I will change the form so it allows you to not fly it.

    @FeiWu I could download the bug part count one with my phone. It would either crash my game or it would make it slideshow simulator simpleplanes edition.

    @Kernels Also, you still have hope. People are voting on the winner. You can see the form here.

    @Kernels It is mainly the gyro. You just have too many engines, which make the plane nose heavy.

    @FeiWu yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa well I 30/120 is probably my worst performance in a challenge yet. I didn't know how to fix these issues and I was getting angry so yea this is pretty fair

    @Kernels

    Evaluation time.


    Bonus/Misc

    Gyro Penalty - -20


    Performance - 15/40

    Seriously, you still need FULL trim at 350mph with a GYRO? That is too fast for a turboprop of this kind to begin with.


    Innovation - 10/30

    You have custom cockpit, interior, and landing gear, but not much more.


    Design - 7/20

    The wide fuselage and sharp corners in the nose and tail is unrealistic as it would cause a lot of drag. The landing gear is too small. The engines are too overkill, with only a twin engine layout needed for a plane of this weight. The wing sweep is excessive and its placement causes problems. The props are also too close to both the fuselage and the adjacent engines.


    Livery - 3/5

    Why it it blue? It would burn in the sun. Also, you neglected to paint the engines.


    Description - 18/20

    You have a short tutorial and the controls.


    Total - 33/120

    Thank you for your participation. You will receive 2 upvotes.

    @Kernels you put the wings forward too much. Try moving it back a bit.

    @Kernels I also added a rule that deducts points for gyros. Would you like to change the plane so it wouldn’t need one? If so, just make a successor of this plane.

    @Kernels unfortunately I haven’t had any time to look at your plane yet. Sorry. I’ll try to find some time later today.

    @Mastermind1941 Sure.
    I think more detailed instructions on controls, and some short tutorials on critical flight phases (what to do on takeoff and landing etc). You can also add what makes your airliner stand out.

    @FeiWu can you clarify what you mean by lacking?
