@Sinnacraft don't forget to give credit, also there are a lot of parameters you will need to tweak to specifically tune it to your aircraft. For example the number 6.1 is the altitude compensation mechanic, change it to zero and see how far your plane is below the required altitude in meters, then change that number to it.
@XAircraftManufacturer Don't look at the code, it's not that bad this time though.
@Crj900Pilot so you can see what I'm working on for the new airliners.
@SavageMan Hi!
I have a bit of an embarrassing problem. I am building a 747-400 (trying to make a full hollow interior) but I'm not sure how to do the nose section. The entire airplane is supposed to have seats in it, so I cannot use regular fuselages to create it. If I cannot make a full interior, I will have to just post the version with no interior. You told me that you were working on a nose yourself, so that's why I am contacting you now. If you could just look at my creation and give a few tips on completing it, I would really appreciate it.
@SavageMan Yes, I got you. You want three positions, you need just three simple functions.
clamp01((VTOL < 0) / 3) + clamp01((VTOL < -0.5) / 3) + clamp01((VTOL < -0.99) / 3)
That way, when VTOL is under 0, 1/3 of max is given. When under -0.5, another third is given. When all the way at the bottom, the last third is given.
@CRJ900Pilot Thank you!
Basically, the plane know which runway you are using by figuring out which way you are traveling. If your rate(Latitude) is positive, you are heading between 271 and 89 degrees. If negative, your heading is between 91 and 269. Therefore if your rate is positive, you will be heading north and landing on runway 36. The code then calculates the touchdown point of runway 36, and aligns the imaginary ILS line to be a 1/15 slope from that position. because the airport is not at sea level, I made the line 71 meters higher.
Next step is to make it automatically work with Yeager too (But because the airport is not perfectly aligned with the compass, it will be a lot harder).
Well you see, I only run the finished 757 at 5 FPS, I built each component individually and then assemble them on an i5 1060 PC. For example, the components that I build are:
One wing
Fuselage
Cockpit in three parts
Then I assemble these together, test flight dynamics, and I’m done! @PlaneFlightX
Just full cockpit consisting of main panel, overhead panel, and center console, @CenturyAerospace .
Yup @PlaneFlightX
I am using an intel Celeron N2940 and integrated graphics. 4GB DDR3. @UtsuhoReiuji
@SierraX Thank you!
@REW Thanks! I used some inspiration from your 747 wings, and I knew that there had to be some way to make the wings taper properly and still look very smooth. I made the bottom of the wing mostly flat so the landing gear retraction would actually go INTO the wing (and sit flush with it), and not just clip through some fuselage blocks. It took three tries, but I'm happy now! P.S. The engines are 118 parts each.
@MrSilverWolf Thank you for the feedback! I was looking towards a 767 (since I already have the cockpit done), but those are good suggestions! I haven't seen a really good 767 or 747 on the site (yes, there are ones with high part count but unrealistic cockpits)
@lianken I like the 757-200 so much because it sits high, has tons of extra power, sounds amazing, is not too big or too small, and just looks great.
The 737 I'm not into so much, but it is still an amazing plane. Could use some more ground clearance and extra engine power.
@MasterAvicenna Pw2000 is nice, I sat right next to them on a delta 757 last year and they made me smile uncontrollably. JT8D sounds just about as good, probably better though.
@HorizonWXR
@HorizonOfficial
This plane is absolutely great. These high quality, 1000+ part airliners are what I like to see on SP. Very good job. Maybe consider adding full interior next time?
@PlaneFlightX Thank you for the feedback! I will be redoing a lot of the funky trees control system (which will take hours) but I will be able to get most cockpit instruments working (already did artificial horizon, trim indicator, light switches, etc.) You might have seen that I have designed an autoland system for this aircraft.
@TheSavageManZ maybe you can ask a mod to change the first picture to be the cockpit, that might help. Who knows, upvotes aren't everything though. Besides, you only need 35 to make the front page, and then your upvotes will skyrocket.
@GenrichTitov should be easily possible to build the SP site into SP with Mods, so airplanes open automatically and you can upvote and comment from within the designer.
@Zoowarp Thank you! I never noticed how similar the 757 and A320 noses are until I made this. (And I still think your profile pic looks like Saturn lol)
@CRJ900Pilot @EpicPigster1 Thank you! I'm not sure what livery it will be, but I will most likely do Delta, Cargojet (that's what flies into my airport), and make some more if I make the RB211 version. Cargojet flies RB211s.
@Sinnacraft I'm actually replicating a single aircraft, N827MH, as closely as possible and those are the engines it uses.
+1@UltraLight Sure! I have made one that gets within .5 degrees, I'll share it tomorrow if I finish optimizing it!

@SyntheticL I'm a high school senior lol
+1@NormalPioneer If you check the code out, it's not actually that complicated.
@PoyuToyu Thank you!
+1@Star737 That was the intention!
+1There is a new way using the smooth tool. You can use actual panels now and use rise to set the angles correctly. Edit the length too.

Btw I just built a new computer for this airplane, i7-2600 16GB DDR3, GTX 1660 6GB @PlaneFlightX Which i7 do you have?
