Embraer C-390 Millennium

This is a medium multi-role jet powered military transport airplane produced by Embraer and only introduced as recently at 2019. It goes to say this plane comes with a lot of nice tech in real life including a glass cockpit. This is a relatively accurate representation of the real deal, complete with leading and trailing edge flaps, custom gears, interactive cockpit, opening doors front and back, cargo ramp with parachute configuration when moving, air deflectors for parachuting from the rear doors and reverse thrusters for slowing and reversing on the tarmac.

Credits
WNP78 for helping me with my first funky tree
PlanariaLab for the HUD, although I think I broke it when I scaled it down, it still looks effective

Instructions
Set flaps with Activator 7 and open up the throttle. Setting Trim for pitch up is recommended. Retract Landing Gears and reset flaps.

If you’re wanting to drop some cargo inflight or want to go parachuting then open up that cargo bay with Activator 1 and the rear side doors with Activator 4. You shouldn’t be bothered by the wind thanks to the handy air deflectors.

Maximum speed at sea level is about 300mph and at 35000 feet you can reach an air speed of about 700mph. There’s plenty of fuel for those long hauls.

To land set flaps and reduce throttle. I find setting the trim to maximum pitch up and dropping to about 40% throttle maintains a nice air speed without losing too much altitude. Landed but can’t slow fast enough? Just keep braking, the air brakes and reverse thrusters have your back.

When you’re on the tarmac be sure to let your VIP passengers off in style through the front doors with Activator 3. Or if you prefer to walk down the ramp like some scene out of Armageddon then use Activator 1 while stationary and the ramp will come all the way down and extend for you (thanks WNP for the funky trees and giving me some support on my first one). There are even useful stabilisers to ensure the plane doesn’t tip backwards. If you find yourself stuck in a hanger without room to turn around, then spin up the reverse thrusts with VTOL up. Don’t worry about breaking any speed limits, you can’t go much over 5 m/s.

Other Information
So I was going to work more on this, maybe add some more features and details but I figured as this is my first build after a few years away from the game it would be good to get something out there and not idle too long. Therefore you might wonder why I didn’t associate some of the buttons in the cockpit to the moving parts, or load up the cargo space with a few humvees. I figure you, the user can take this away and adapt it to your mission of choice. This is a plane which technically has been 2 years in the making, in it’s inception it had a internal cockpit space but the rest of the plane was solid fuselage parts. Thanks to the recent updates to hollow fuselages, slicing and glass it can truly come to life.

    To fix the HUD you need to copy and paste the variables from the original HUD file into your new build.
