Made a version that may be mobile friendly) at least it uses no modes) cant help the parts count though)))
Unfortunately without Simple Wings and Jet Engine mods by MOPCKOE_DNISHE, i was not able to trim flight specs, flaps, fuel consumption and top speed as it was in the first modded version (
I really recommend trying SimpleWings version, it still actually works for some players, at least if you do not add modded parts in designer:
You can find a version without SimpleWings here
Features a full autopilot with automatic landing capability + complex electric, hydraulic, engine management and fuel tank control system (which shifts a center of gravity if improperly used).
Please note - TRIM is inverted, it's made so on trim slider on the right of the screen Up meant pull the plane Up and trim slider Down = pull Down
P.s. yeah, i've started this plane 6 years ago)))) though there are only a few pieces left from a first model...
P.P.S. If someone needs an autopilot and autoland for their planes - feel free to contact. My code is a mess and it might be difficult to copy it from this plane, but i will be happy to adapt it to your creation myself.

@UnfairchildFH227 HM, weird. i'll check in teh evening
Idk why but when i download this modless ver. It said that it requires mods lol
@Dimkal Thanks a lot!
Yet at least 50% credit goes to @PlaneFlightX, mine would not work without his code for vertical axis autopilot. My previous attempt at altitude code was unsuccessful, plane was jerking up and down. Only the horizontal part, autothrottle and autoland code is completely mine. And judging by his videos, he might soon release a new version of a code based on PID controller function. It wont be necessary more functional, but at least it will need less code. I tried this too, but again, wasn't able to tune PID coefficients correctly.
BTW, if you play on PC - i totally recommend fully modded version, with SimpleWings and SP_Extra. It flies a lot more realistic and i was able to tune it much better. SimpleWings actually still works for many players, at least if you do not add a part from parts list in designer.
Convair CV-990 (for Simple Wings!)
p.s. I will soon release another complex plane - Tu-126. Though i'm not yet sure whether to include autoland capability there. CV-990 never actually had it in reality, but it is at least somewhat advanced and automated, definitely less so regarding tu-95-114-126-142 family...
Possibly, the best autopilot system in the game! I really admire the effort you did in order to make all the autopilot system functional. I expect so much from you!
@AlbertanPlaneMaker well, may be a bit later. it seems like it doesn't work correctly with FT) sorting it out)
@AlbertanPlaneMaker Hi! I've found that SPExtra was updated and all parts schanged name from XPExtra_ to SPPlus, thats why it lacked parts. New version works better as all parts now accept funkytrees input, i will reupload a plane with new mod in an hour
@SemedianIndustries well i did not promise it would be really mobile friendly) i just did my best to get close... Guess it is still not really convenient to click dosens of tiny switches on a cellphone. I think it takes around 25 clicks to start it up and get ready to take off)))
@asteroidbook345 @Spenzerointernational I stand corrected
@SemedianIndustries i ran it quite well
@SemedianIndustries Well it can run on a mobile device, maybe not well
"Mobile friendly" is 900 parts or less m8
@teddyone02 i'm afraid it would be dificult to delete cockpit, all main features like autopilot, autothrottle, autoland, fuel and engine management are operated by switches( it wont even start engines without them( kinda i can return it to simple controls, i think it will still be like 1200 parts (judging by older versions), just without all the main fun
@AlbertanPlaneMaker it wont be difficult to delete only the SP_Extra, will upload tommorow
how much parts is the cockpit, ill remove it and try playing with it on my phone and see if it handles it
@vonhubert ill probably play with it if i got a new phone, not anytime soon but i like it
@teddyone02 afraid so... cant delete much though, most parts probably go to cockpit controls and wing structure.
oh god its gonna kill my phone
@AlbertanPlaneMaker Hi, i've made a total no mod version. Can make a version only without SP_Extra if you like. Should i make it with simple wings (better flying) or not? Does it work on your pc still?
@teddyone02 @ApplePies84 @AliceShimada - i've made a version without mods
