Auto Credit Based on MrSilverWolf's A-425NG (Skywolf Research)
With the new “funky trees” it is now possible to make a working MCAS for aircraft, as demonstrated here on the A-425. If below 115mph above 1,500FT the plane will automatically try to pitch down to regain airspeed.
(This is a experiment, so it may not work the greatest, just uploading as a proof of concept)
Instructions:
AG 1 and 2 for engine 1
AG 3 and 4 for engine 2
AG 5 for landing lights and to activate reversers (hold brake)
AG 6 for lights
AG 8 for beacon
VTOL down for flaps
Other versions of the A-425

@AnimalGlint2000 well the MCAS was just one very small part of the issue on that, the bigger issue with the max isn’t the max but where it’s being operated, by who and who is flying it
In the case of the max, that issue was actually fixable in like 2 ways, but it wasn’t trained on even though its a known issue, and the fact those airlines essentially stuck student pilots up there in the right seat, between both first officers on those two flights, they didn’t have more than 500 hours between them, they each had something like 200 or 300 hours. The captains while they did have a few thousand hours each, still not enough for a captain on a 737, very long story short
It’s lack of crew training, poor hour requirements in other countries that allow for people with only 200 hours to fly something like a 737, and airlines not doing proper training on their airplanes
@ACEPILOT109 I can say I never got the operators manual on how to funky trees. I did figure out it can't be inserted in any person
@MrSilverWolf I have an idea for your next build could you make the An-22 using your turboprop engines that would be awesome
@Raptor787 thanks!
@mrSiverWolf I like this turboprop a lot l like how you used the anti stall
@TheMitsuboshiBoi read the pinned message please
PLEAZE NOT MCAS
EVERYONE ABORT ABORT GET OUT OF HERE
I need to get into funky trees
Works very well
@DPSAircraft ok, thanks!
Ok@MrSilverWolf
@Kweed10 well it’s a set of 3 rotors, so if you can find them you could probably pull them out and use them
@Hedero thanks!
This looks very similar to the P-3 Orion. I like it!@MrSilverWolf
@MrSilverWolf Would you be able to give me the rotors?
@Kweed10 oy byat I forgot to mention, I didn’t actually make the rotors for the gear doors, someone a year ago let me use the set of rotors for the gear doors, idk if something like that is possible with funky trees or not
Can you help me program the landing gear doors on some of my upcoming planes? I LOVE the landing gear doors on this plane :)
@AnimalGlint2000 no problem!
@AnimalGlint2000 it goes off of speed when above 1,500ft
@AnimalGlint2000 IRL MCAS works by going off of the angle of attack I believe then if its too high and senses a stall, it automatically moves the stabilizer to pitch the plane down so you don’t have it locked a high altitude stall like on Air France 447
WOW this is a really good concept ask Boeing if they want to have it
@BnanaX that is there for visuals and sound, doesn’t actually move the plane, the actual engines are hidden inside the engine cowling
@AnimalGlint2000 it should be good for a few hours of flying, more than 4 hours I would assume
@User1022359808 ah ok awesome, thanks! I was wondering if you could separate it out and when I got help with getting the rotor set up like that I forgot to ask about that
I see angle of attack is also in there, maybe that would have been a better option to go with rather than speed...
