A.37 Airliner (Refit)
The A.37 Airliner is a fictional jet passenger aircraft, that would have been commissioned in 1971. FUN FACT this plane, up until I began to assemble the primary wings, was meant / modeled to be a replica of the Constellation, however, my imagination kicked in and I got carried away. She's still beautiful, exceptionally stable, and maintains realistic speed and control.
AG 1 – right engine 1
AG 2 – right engine 2
AG 3 – left engine 2
AG 4 – left engine 1
AG 5 – landing gear lights and break-assist systems (reverse thrust and speed breaks from break input only)
AG 6 – navigation lights
AG 7 – fuselage cabin lights
For take-off, landing lights should be activated, enabling reverse thrust and the primary engines to taxi on the ground. Set flaps to down 100% (VTOL) and trim to down 50%. Rotate at 190mph.
Autopilot will only be effective with manual trim input; trim set to down 50% or just less than that seems to be the perfect configuration, with minor adjustment as needed.
During landing, set primary flaps to full down, engine power to no less than 25%, full pitch, and using trim to stabilize angle and descent
