Introduction
The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, commonly referred to as the L-1011 (pronounced "El-ten-eleven") or TriStar, is an American medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner built by the Lockheed Corporation. It was the third wide-body airliner to enter commercial operations, after the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The airliner has a seating capacity of up to 400 passengers and a range of over 4,000 nautical miles (7,410 km). Its trijet configuration has three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines with one engine under each wing, along with a third engine center-mounted with an S-duct air inlet embedded in the tail and the upper fuselage. The aircraft has an autoland capability, an automated descent control system, and available lower deck galley and lounge facilities.
Between 1968 and 1984, Lockheed manufactured a total of 250 TriStars, assembled at the Lockheed plant located at the Palmdale Regional Airport in southern California north of Los Angeles. After L-1011 production ended, Lockheed withdrew from the commercial aircraft business due to its below-target sales.

@Dann810 You're right about the all-flying tail, which you did do very well. However, there is still a trim system for the all-flying tail. I can help with some FT if you like for your next plane. If I had to pick two most important things, it would be reverse thrust in the air and landing gear retraction on the ground. You can fix the reverse thrust in the air by using a
*clamp01(AltitudeAgl (Lessthansign) 10)and fix the ground gear retraction using a*clamp01(AltitudeAgl (greaterthansign) 10).@Dann810
Pros:
1. Good visual model, you got the 757'esque nose perfect
2. Suspension acts really nicely.
3. Pretty realistic acceleration and braking for the weight.
4. Flaps are realistic.
5. Low speed performance is good.
Cons:
1. Nose gear steering shouldn't need a lock, and it doesn't have quite enough traction for turning.
2. Outer wing spoilers should also act as speedbrakes. Click Here
3. Takeoff run distance isn't quite enough.
4. There's no Elevator Trim.
5. No overspeed flap load relief, which was a important feature Lockheed added (along with autoland).
6. Landing gear clips through gear doors at higher G loads.
7. Spoilers 2,3,6, and 7 stand straight up when turning and at max spoiler deployment.
8. Reverse Thrust can be used in air, Landing gear can be retracted on the ground.
Put deltas livery on it
这飞机真不错
This is… AWESOME, better than the other L1011’s and also like I said in the the previous post when you introduced this a year ago, please add a Saudi livery version or maybe livery’s of the other operators of this plane and also a cockpit to be more realistic. Anyways, THANKS, very awesome plane!!!
I have been waiting for a good tristar on the website, thank you
I have three words to say to you.
beautiful
Finally, what a masterpiece!
This is amazing. i love this, especially because my ipad can run it. keep up the good work.
Potato phone version please
@klm747klm747 The problems about spoilers and some more complicated functions are the most of which I concerned about. Actually I'm not a good funky trees builder, so I was doing those stuffs manually as good as I can. Maybe I will take more times in the future for the funky trees system hehe.
About the trim system, some articals on the internet says that the L-1011 uses the all-flying tail system (which nearly takes after the horizontal stabilizers on the F-16) instead of the trimmable tail. But due to the lack of information of those, I just make it as suitable for the aircraft as I can.
Anyway, thanks for the compliment! That's a really helpful review to me!
this is amazing
@1918 @Hectord27 @RedWasNotTheImposter @Chaka thanks guys!
@Dann810 thanks!
When the world needed him the most, he returned.
Flown in those more than once. Smooth ride
that suspension is perfect
Nice
@TheKraken3 thanks a lot!
@klm747klm747 hope it's good enough haha
@elevatormann lol I didn't know that, thanks a lot!
crashes realistically, 10/10
Get ready for a long review.... Coming soon
@Dann810 I haven't played SP in so long dude, great build though
@Dann810 Okay then. Have a nice day. ;)
@Boeing777x Not really. I was about to plan for some smaller builds due to lack of time recently. Maybe one of them will come in further future.
And also, have you thought about doing a double decker, like the A380, or the 1990s Boeing NLA concepts? Or perhaps even a much bigger triple decker?
