RA80 MAX Cargo
Welcome to the RA80 Cargo. It's been a long time in the works, but she's finally in a place that I'm satisfied with.
Introduction:
This craft is designed to provide a simulator style experience from a seat in the cockpit. As a fly-by-wire craft, she boasts four interactive systems: Electric, Pneumatic, Hydraulic and Fuel. The applied/integrated systems are based exactly off of a Boeing 777-200 (hence the recognizable overhead console). These are developed with real-world logic and programming. I had to teach myself a lot about the specifics of the these systems, and will link the resources I used at the end of this (especially the electric). This craft is best experienced in VR, as it is designed for.
The Screens:
Four of the six electronic flight information displays (EFIDs) have different pages to cycle thru (based mostly off those of the B777) to more elaborately illustrate the craft's current state. All in all they're nothing spectacular, but I think they add a fun touch. The lower display (SEC) is where you will locate the various operation checklists, including preflight and engine start. The EICAS will also show alerts for, among other things, misconfigurations. The EICAS only cycles between itself and the Engine page.
Leveling:
One of my goals was to include three more screen pages, but found a limitation in VR with high part count and the complexity of each screen. At this point, this bird is very much approaching the limits of what a Meta Quest 2 can smoothly handle. Set graphics to the lower end for best experience.
Additionally, I had hopes of including an autopilot, but am stumped on developing the necessary matrices to accomplish this.
This is my first attempt at this level of realism, and some of the programming is rudimentary. The next build will focus on the nitty-gritty details, like AC load, duct pressure, and hopefully a totally functioning fuel-transfer system.
