Credits:

@kasachstanball - For basically making the original plane in the first place. I was pretty bored yesterday and decided to take the time to improve his original design to give him what he truly deserves - an even better looking plane than the ones he makes already.

(Background) Lore:

This commercial airliner was created by the Zeta Plane Manufacturer Company, being the first plane built by them. The plane saw service across airlines throughout the world, but its outdated designs from yesteryear have begun to show. In the light of this, Zeta contracted and started to collaborate with a small-scale private aircraft manufacturing company to create an improved and revised plane design.

After years of development, the Z-001 Plus+ was created. To differentiate it with its predecessor, it was fitted with new, more advanced engines capable of reaching 1100 kmh (683 mph). Along with that, its fuselage was expanded longer to fit more passengers, and its triple-tail slightly changed up for better aerodynamics. Winglets were also added to reduce drag, which enhances the performance of the airliner even more.

Controls:

AG1 - External Lights (I forgor to change colors in the wingtips so its both red without green....)
AG6 - Engine 1
AG7 - Engine 2

Flight Details:

  • Yeah so I was kinda bored studying my exam revision, so after I finished I basically spent the remaining time at home improving the design of the first plane of Kasachstanball. This is actually my first Airliner and the first plane I've built THATS NOT a part of my fictional alt history universe where Austria-Hungary becomes the Triune Monarchie. I also decided to use the same paint scheme from the original as to honor it and its creator, even tho having it fully white would've also looked good.

  • The roll rate is unrealistic but uhh I can't care to fix it, also there is no cockpit unfortunately lol. I couldn't find a good way to make a cockpit that satisfied my needs (Fuselage slicing is uhhhhh).

  • With this being my first airliner, I'd honestly say I'm pretty proud considering I wasn't planning on making an airliner till I made like at least 5 fighter jets. There are obviously things that I need to improve upon (Cockpit) and there are some things about the aircraft (lack of windows and no fuselage wings lol) that I need to consider about when working on new airliners (I'll probably continue making more jets first lmao)

Hope y'all enjoy flying this plane as much as I did haha! Enjoy! (AND THANKS to kasachstanball for giving me permission to improve his Zeta plane!)
