Dassault Mercure 100
I chose this plane to carry me to 10K! Thank you all for the support.
I think it is one of my best replicas, next to my Airbus A380. I tried to keep the part count down because I was making it on a 10 year old laptop that has worse specs than most Android phones, so I am pretty confident that it's mobile friendly. ALSO, it has thrust reversers, but I suggest you not use them because they are the first reverser I ever made and they are a bit dodgy. But if you want to use it, under this text will be a little tutorial. ALSO ALSO, I tried to replicate the real fuel capacity, so, in theory, you should have about 2-3 hours of flight time at full throttle (ye that's how short the range was)
Thanks to Thederpingmemes for helping me with stabilizing the plane and improving the initial flight profile.
VTOL - Flaps
AG1 - Thrust reversers
AG8 - Toggle lights (landing lights also toggle with gear)
How to use reversers:
After landing, press 1 and throttle to max. If everything works out, you should stop super fast and potentionaly start going backwards. HOWEVER, because of the nature of SP, you can't really use them, because as soon as you press brakes it will set throttle to 0, so it is only really usable if you have a joystick with a dedicated throttle, which I do and it's amazing.
The Dassault Mercure 100 was a failed airliner developed by the french Dassault Aviation, known for their Falcon bussiness jets and jet fighters like the Mirage 2000. It was designed to compete with Boeing 737, however, unlike it's american competitor, it was more tuned for short high capacity routes which seemed to be a completely untapped market. Sadly for the Mercure, it turned out that the market was untapped for many reasons, so the production was ended due to lack of orders after making only 12 aircraft. The only real operator of the Mercure was french Air Inter, later merged with Air France.

Dassault? Nah.
The salt? Yup.
In fact it has been a fail beacuse he came out during the first oil shock and the airlines were ruined
Awesome!
I understand @DerekSP
Thank you very much@DerekSP
@Thederpingmemes oh sorry, you were in the original description but I messed it up when adding images :( you're there now
We’res my credit for the wings?
Nvm(I would like it tho)@DerekSP
Great obscure aircraft, love the unsuccessful aircraft they should be represented more!
@Ichko @Fluffiboo thanks for the upvotes
@Liquidfox @Mostly @QingyuZhou thanks!
@dootdootbananabus thank you! it's stuck at 9992 so it will overshoot 10K after some time, so I won't be able to screenshot it :D
@DerekSP 10k at last,for you
@DerekSP np
@Carsong1017 @DemonSniper8 thank you
I usually believe less detail is more, except in the case of TSAD, and this plane proves my point! Great looking without being too busy!
@EpicPigster1 thanks
@Solarisaircraft thanks for the upvote. I like this plane too, I hope to see the surviving one at Speyer museum so i can add it to my Google Photos Gallery :D
I LOVE this plane IRL. French planes are always cool, and this one has a cool cabin. It's also really rare for an airliner.
