Saunders-Roe Princess (Seaplane challenge)
Hah! I'm daft for not realizing I could share this after all from my phone! So here she is! Weighing in at 200,600lbs currently, you probably could give her more dead weight. Or less to achieve a more realistic flight model. Anyway Action groups 1-3 control the engines in pairs. Speaking of which,WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T PAUSE THE GAME WHILE THE BLADES ARE SPINNING!! This WILL cause the engines to explode, shifting the center of mass too far back for stable gliding. (Also mind the wing flex) I belive it does this because of the clipping of the engines in thier nacelles... So that out of the way, Action group 4 does nothing, action group 5 unlocks the flaps and lets you manipulate them. They do seem to lower the stall speed which is pretty cool. (To lower flaps move vtol slider UP). Finally, Action group 6 controls the float hinge. (To retract floatsmove slider ALL the way DOWN) These also provide some lift ;). The princess in real life was a complicated aircraft in systems, but docile and user-friendly in the air. I've tried to replicate this by making things a bit complicated to keep myself on my toes when flying her. Hope you enjoy!!
