Cruise Speed @ 5km Alt.:.........................330km/h
Landing Speed Full Flaps + 1/4 Trim:.......172km/h
Stall Speed Full Flaps + Full Trim:.............150km/h
Estimated Range (20k L):.......................6,000km~
Fuel Eco. @ 410km/h 100% Throt:.........3.12L/km*
Fuel Eco. @ 330km/h 075% Throt:.........2.32L/km*
Fuel Eco. @ Ground Idle:........................0.10L/s

*Assuming 5km cruising altitude

Notes

This ATL-98C are one of the projects that have benefitted on the DC-8-32 project. Although majority of the FT were incorporated into this aircraft prior to the release of the DC-8-32 EA, it was also very crude with some FT running not as effective as the recent iterations being used on current projects. FT such as the Autopilot Trim and Startup sequence.

Speaking of the Startup Sequence, the pitch control of the propeller blades had to be set in manual since automatic pitching causes the plane to roll ahead due to how the throttle FT was coded, so on first iteration its a rather basic:
((Throttle / 2) - 0.05)
However, after reading about constant speed piston engines, the FT had to be revised three times until it can properly function:

clamp((smooth(Throttle, 1)), 0, 0.5) - 
clamp((PitchAngle / 90), 0, 0.4)

Before, I was planning to dress the Carvair in British United Air Ferries, but that would be too obvious, so instead I dressed this Carvair in a Canadian carrier prominent in the maritimes: Eastern Provincial Airways. Perhaps next time I'd make another Carvair in BUAF livery, who knows?

    If you have a question, just let me know. The car present on some of the photos are from my Top Gear Orbiter project some odd years ago.

    This plane is funny but cute at the same time it's like a baby Boeing 747 but in a weird shaped way I wonder how it carries cars I wonder how much it can carry and it was actually used back in the 1970s fun fact

    I’m happy you decided on this livery because I’m from Newfoundland and it’s the only Newfoundland related plane on here!
