Steadfast Airlines: AP Dasher

27.9k SteadfastContracting  8.3 years ago

Well, I actually had a fun time making this. This was only my second time making a passenger plane. It's also my first time attempting any kind of livery. I think I'm going to start my own airliner company. It will be called Steadfast Airlines. I'll make a forum post about it a bit later.

HISTORY/BACKSTORY-
-The AP Dasher is the first creation of the new branch of Steadfast Industries; the Steadfast Airlines. Steadfast Airlines will (hopefully) specialize in make clean, sleek, and comfortable passenger planes/jets for the civilian world. This passenger liner can comfortably carry 32 passengers in 2 rows of 16 chairs; 2 chairs side by side and 4 crew members.

CONTROLS-
-TRIM to trim. I actually modded it so it wouldn't pitch when PITCH was used.
-VTOL to change the engine's vertical elevation.
-To turn on the runway use YAW.

INSTRUCTIONS-
-This is a pretty good STOL so to take off from the USS TINY or the USS BEAST, you can TRIM completely down and maybe VTOL up some. Start the engines and YAW to the right a bit so you don't hit the tower on the right. Be ready to adjust controls after leaving the deck.

FINAL NOTES-
-I had a fun time designing this and testing it. I hope you enjoy this too. There's a free model of the engines used in this that are free to use if you wish to.
