VR! VR! VR!

MY SILVER SPECIAL TO YOU GUYS

Cockpit credits in the notes.

Ah, so here it is. The project that took me a few weeks to do (it
was fun and also painful at the same time)

PROS

-Nice Continental “Red Meatball” design
-Registration of flight 603
-A semi-finished cockpit
-VR compatible
-Smooth

CONS

-Tail-mounted engine’s thrust reversers don’t work
-Interior controls are kinda funky
-The “CONTINENTAL” font is inaccurate, I just wanted mobile users to experience this beauty, too.

CONTROLS (Also in-game)
Ag1 - Arm Speed brakes (requires gear down)
Ag2-4 - Strobe/Landing/Cabin Lights
Ag5 - Open front left door (Requires not moving)
AG6 - Pushback
AG8 - Engines, Nav/Taxi/Beacon lights

De-activating 8 will cut power to all lights
optional: all forward 4 doors can open(just connect them to the Rotators)

Landing
Approach speed: 120-125 knots
VTOL(flaps): 100%
Trim: 25-50%
Gear: down
AG1: Activated(helps negate bouncy landings)

Cruise:
Cruise speed: mach.0.84(473 knots)-TAS
Max operating speed: Mach 0.88(507 knots) - TAS
optional:
No more than 250 knots below 10,000ft - IAS as per regulations

BLOWN OFF: Continental flight 603
Crew members:
Captain: 59-year-old Charles E. Hersche
F.O: 40-year-old Michael J. Provan
Flight Engineer: 39-year-old John K. Olsen

Flight
The aircraft began its take-off from Los Angeles International Airport at around 9:25 am. During the takeoff roll, the recapping tread of the number-two tire on the left main landing gear separated from the tire and the resulting overload caused that tire to blow out. That, in turn, imposed an overload on the number-one tire on the same axle, resulting in a second blowout almost immediately after the first blowout. Pieces of metal from the rims of the failed tires then damaged the number-five tire on the left main gear, causing it to also blow out.

Although Captain Hershe initiated the abort procedure at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph) below V1 speed, it became apparent the aircraft could not stop within the confines of the runway. This was the direct result of the partial loss of braking power following the failure of the three tires on the left main gear, and also because the runway was wet. The captain steered the aircraft to go off the end of the right half of the runway in an effort "to go beside the stanchions holding the runway lights", thus avoiding a collision with the approach light stanchions, which were positioned immediately beyond the end of the runway.? About 100 feet (30 m) beyond the end of the runway, the left main gear broke through the nonload-bearing pavement, which caused it to collapse rearward. Portions of the failed gear punctured fuel tanks in the left wing, immediately starting a fuel fire on the left side.

The aircraft slid to a stop about 664 feet (202 m) beyond the departure end of the runway. Because of the fire on the left side of the aircraft, all passengers evacuated on the right side. All four emergency evacuation slides on the right side of the aircraft were affected by the heat and failed at some point during the evacuation.? Flight 603's flight crew and an off-duty pilot worked quickly to guide passengers to alternate exits as the slides failed, actions later commended by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for saving lives and reducing the number of injuries.? Passengers who were still on board after the last slide failed were forced to either jump to the ground, or use a slide rope deployed from the first officer's cockpit window.

Of the 186 passengers and 14 crew on board, two passengers died due to burning and smoke inhalation. Moreover, 28 passengers and three crew members were seriously injured during the evacuation. Two of the seriously injured passengers died as a result of their injuries about three months later.

A large portion of the aircraft's left section was destroyed. The aircraft subsequently was written off as a hull loss. The accident represents the second fatal accident and fifth hull loss of a McDonnell Douglas DC-10.

Notes

-Building time: 3-4 weeks

-This is the first time actually making an interior, so I used most of
@waffle101’s Fedex Dc-10’s interior. So some of the controls might be a bit funky (not like FunkyTrees, just using “funky” as in “kinda weird.”)

-This is also the first time using multiple custom thumbnails, so it was hard. I only used the front and side blueprints because the top blueprint was very hard to do.

-It was so annoying that the accident aircraft was a -10 series, not a -30 series. The DC-10 feels so wrong without the center landing gear, but I had to remove it in order to make a replica of flight 603.

-The last time I recreated a livery out of one of GalacticAsia’s planes, the cheat line didn’t connect with the doors. So when anyone opened the door, the door went up and the cheat line was still connected to the line, so it looked like the doorway was bordered up. But I fixed that problem, so now with this, the cheat line pieces that are on the door, move with the door.
