Tupolev Tu-124 1960s regional jet 1.1
Updated with intakes and parachutes from Beta 1.5
Updated version of my Tu-124 regional liner - the first turbofan liner in the world. It looks like 3:4 scale model of Tu-104, however was significantly newer technologically, employed more electronics, turbofan engines, double slotted flaps, spoilers, adjustable stabiliser. I actually like it for being more or less modern aircraft with cool look due to oldschool wing-root mounted engines.
With Beta 1,5 made really good looking engines and chute.
Also made goodlooking cokpit glass and 2 cameras - inside pilot and navigator cockpits, modified the fuselage form around engines and intakes, shortened the wings to proper wingspan (previous model used Tu-134 wing which has additional 2 m sections on the ends) and made some cosmetic changest to wing tips and empenage. Additionally modified landing gear mechanics.
Controlls:
G - Landing gear;
Stabilizer (pitch adjustment) is adjustable with trim slider. normally about 1/4 up in level flight, but depends on speed, altitude and thrust.
AG1 - Landing parachute
AG2 - Flaps; (0% = Flaps retracted, 100% DOWN = Flaps deployed)
AG3 - Spoilers (= Airbrakes, 100% UP = Deployed, 0% = Retracted, i added a compensating mechanism to the stabiliser, but still tends to pitch up the plane a bit, use on approach with partial deployment or after touch down with full deployment)
AG4 - Left engine
AG5 - Right engine
AG6 - Landing lights;
AG7 - Nav. Lights;
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when active - steers to the limit, when deactivated - steers 5 degrees, deactivate on takeoffs and landing, activate for ground maneuvers only)
Take off procedure - Trim 1/2 up, flaps 1/2 down, full thrust
Landing procedure - Full flaps, trim ~ 60% up, 60% thrust with full flaps. Be careful with spoilers on landing, they pitch up the plane (surprisingly, that was an issue in real life, more modern planes compensate that automatically with stabilizer adjustment)
Said to be working on mobile devices. From my experince - almost a sldeshow on a phone, somewhat playable at Samsung Tab.

@Owenbuilder Sorry, its hardly possible, too many parts, including moving parts in flaps, landing gear and so on. It is however currently somewhat playable on powerful mobile devices.
Mobile friendly plz
@BaconEggs was not playing for 2 months, kind of missed its already not beta)
'Beta'?
