Crazy sudden creation from unfinished Tu-95)) 15 min build, 45 to make it fly at least somewhat controllable)
Controls
Warning! Turboprops are pitch controlled! Thrust controlls the propeller pitch with engine governor maintaining the engine RPM. This way it is on nk-12 turboprops from tu-95 and tu-114. Thus:
1) Below 20% thrust they essentially work as VERY powerful airbrakes. Never drop below 35% thrust inflight unless you need to drop speed fast.
2) optimal thrust for cruise flight - 70-75% at 28 000 ft.
3) optimal thrust for take off and low altitude - 90-100%
G - Landing gear;
AG2 + VTOL slider - Flaps; (dont ever set it to -100% - thats to much to trim. -25-40% is more then enough for take off or landing)
AG6 - Bomb bay
AG4 - Ascend autopilot (Activate and set trim for ascend/descend. Can turn gently, than stabilizes
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when AG8 deactivated - steers to the limit, when activated - steers 5 degrees) Positions - AG8 - ON on Take off/Landing/In flight, AG8 OFF for the ground movements
Approach with 50% flaps at 40% thrust, trim 90-100% UP. Near the runway - set exactly 32-33 thrust. Over the runway edge - 25-28 and touch down. Plane is real life heavy - so it is quite inertial.
Take off - flaps 1/4 down, trim 1/2 up, 100% thrust. Ascend at slow rate with 90-100% thrust. At higher altitude adjust thrust around 70-90%

@ShootsPlanes a new related plane is upcoming, it's been reworked. But it requires a new amasing fuselage mod
Textured Fuselage Block
@vonhubert the engine controls are a bit strange, but you should definetally improve this!
@ArabicboiYT well, the link is right above the comments section...

@vonhubert its been 8 months.
The smoke trail thing
@ArabicboiYT sorry, so late... what mod is missing?
Link to mod needed?
@vonhubert I was too lol
Always a pleasure to see something new from you.
Double ender bush plane
@XjayIndustrys i use an option of throttle governor in engine settings + Throttle controlls a pitch not engine throttle. You can actually make it reversable (though that means that on 0 throttle it will push the plane back). On my creation 0 throttle = 0 pitch angle (blades stay perpendicular to airflow) - that makes the plane decelerate very fast. I found the nice settings by trial and error. Try using my
@LuciferOfPoland Ok, it is officially a tailles aircraft, not a flying wing) anyway, i was just fooling around
but its not a flying wing REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
That’s hot
My gender is aeroplane so don’t ask questions
How did you get the props to reverse thrust? This would help so much with a Bush plane I’ve got going but I’d need the reverse thrust to be under 5% cause it’s already under powered. I know I can manually change the pitch but then I can’t find the right cruise
Looks pretty majestic!
