Have you thought about making it a true flying wing? (No hidden vertical stabilizer)
I know SP doesn't really like that but it might be possible with FT stabilization
@OwO Sort of? A leading-edge flap looks like a standard control surface (i.e. F-16, F/A-18) while a slat creates a gap between itself and the wing (i.e. F-14, A-4).
The terms are often used interchangeably though.

@idiotace5000 The inputs for your rotators being Funky means that it will allow you to type your own FT code into the input, which is the menu you are seeing.
The inputs should be Turret1Elev and Turret1Hdg.
@MinXie I don't see why it wouldn't work for mobile. I would try looking at the turrets on my B-26 and reverse engineering them. I could also help if it still doesn't work.
@MinXie Turret1Range disables the turret if a target is outside its range, so make sure you set it up how you need it. The way it is here is also set up to not track targets outside 2.5 km, so it could also be that.
It's pretty hard to say what could be going on without seeing the craft
@JustMiko I'm not sure how you're getting that error since none of the FT here uses a variable named TargetLatitude. However, I do know that error means that somewhere in your variables tab, your FT is using the variable TargetLatitude, but that variable hasn't been created.
I'm really surprised I haven't seen someone plug a controller into their computer to try this track yet. Granted, I'm not sure how much time you would gain with precise throttle control with SP physics.
That being said, this is an awesome run. You were definitely driving on the limit

Aren't the tickets crazy expensive?

Congrats man!
+1You've improved a ton.
SP is just not realistic
We dont have heatseekers at all
@TheSonOfThunder Yo that's not bad
+1Maintenance and fuel will easily make that way more expensive though
When did you change your name?

@OwO The 747 has Krüger flaps which are different from slats and leading edge flaps
Things it can't do

It's hard to say without seeing the craft, but you can try:
- Decrease the deflection of your elevators.
- Use flat bottom wings with increased liftScale and move your COM forward (This works usually, but will make your flight model unrealistic)
- Fly by wire control system
