This is a better version of the frachtflugzeuge FF-983 that I released earlier

history

The frachtflugzeuge FF-983 is a cargo aircraft used by the german air force for military and humanitarian roles. The FF-983D variant adds glass to the cargo area, and some small improvements to flight.

controls

Normal flight controls
Ag1- rear door
Ag2- nose wheel
Ag3- lights
Ag4-7 engines

flight instructions (please read before using!)

takeoff procedures
1. Turn on ag7 to activate engines let the spool up, if you want to have some realism
2. Throttle up
3. Wait till around 200mph and pull up
4. Retract gear
5. Once it get to its top speed it will need barely any trim
landing procedures
Depending on height do as followed
1. Throttle down to around 40-50% as you would want to loose altitude, if you stay at 100% you'll gain a lot of airspeed, and is not as effective.
2. When your at around 1000 ft from the airport, and around 500ft above it slowly throttle all the way down
3. Stall speed is quite low for such a big aircraft, so you'll have alot of room to land.
4. Once you touch down make sure throttle is all the way down, and start to brake.
5. Activate nose wheel with ag2, and once stopped throttle up to 5-10% for taxi speed.
WARNING: When taxiing dont go over 25mph, when you do and you turn it throws the plane off balance. If you need to maneuver, do it in small increments at that speed. also let all the engines spool up before you put in any throttle.

sorry cabernet, i was having trouble uploading the images so sorry i cant have the images up.


builders note: this has been sitting in my unlisted for 17 days, i guess its finally time to upload it. its a mild variation from my previous one, the main difference is the glass in the cargo area, and an improved logo on the rear stabilizer which i think looks awesome! everything is basically the same as far as flight, so nothing special there. i think the rear stabilizer has changed slightly.

thanks to those who upvote, comment, and follow

    @FeatherWing I'm having trouble uploading the pictures, but here it is so you can test it. It's now over the 250 part limit, so it shouldn't loose anymore points than necessary.
