Convair CV-990 (for Simple Wings!)

Auto Credit Based on vonhubert's Realistic Convair CV-880 Swissair

UPD 11.02.23
Correction to a previous version, updated SP_Extra mod version, remade nav and landing lights, corrected minor mistakes

For some reason SimpleWings mod is working fine for me even on latest SP version. I Suggest you reinstall it and try loading this plane (as it makes a plane fly soooo much more realistic), while i prepare a version without simplewings. Please write me a comment whether you were able to download, load and play this plane with simplewings mod...

A version without SimpleWings mod is here:
Convair CV-990 (now without Simple Wings!)

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 improprely used).

[PLEASE FIND A MANUAL HERE]

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.

    @Sense2 well, worth trying... it might be powerful enough
    Yet if you have an option to play on PC, it would definitely be better. Apart from the parts count, all the controls are on the switches and buttons in the cocpit. It takes ~ 20-25 clicks to power it up and get ready to fly) might be difficult on a phone screen)

    @PlaneFlightX Thanks a lot for your review)
    About download - That was mine SPExtra old version to cause problems. i've updated from 1.0 to 1.1 and reuploded the plane a couple days ago. Parts names for SPExtra has changed to SP_Plus prefix with 1.1, thats why it lacked parts before,
    I will upload a 2-engine fantasy version this or next evenening, i think. Though only for simplewings yet (it is really difficult to fine tune it with stock wings and the plane is modified with t-tail and engines in the back)

    @Sense2 as far as i know, they can not( It's because Apple and Google treat moda as a kind of uncontrollable imported code, that can include viriuses.
    I've made a no-mod version anyway. Unfortunately, it is still too heavy and barely works on most cellphones
    no mods

    This plane is incredible, great work!

    @PlaneFlightX Wow, i knew i'm not the only one for whom it works)

    Weird about SP Extra, may be i use an older version... Though these are only Landing and Nab lights (i prefer them from the mode as they are really illuminating the invironment, unlike stock ones).

    I'll take a look and probably load an update, i have corrected some minor mistakes anyway

    Well I tried to download it and it says I'm missing some parts from SP Extra, despite me having the latest version installed.

    I also tested your version of SimpleWings, it works fine.

    @ApplePies84 Potentially yes, i'm trying to fine tune it to fly nice without simplewings now, and other mods are purely cosmetic, but will it ran smooth? 1,7 K parts) My old but somewhat formerly powerful laptop kinda strugles already) and i'm not sure i'd be able to delete more parts. I will try

    @AlbertanPlaneMaker nope, 1.12.128.0
    I would have no cockpit parts on older version
    And it also works on experimental build in steam
