CASA/IPTN CN-235 MPA

Hi Guys, this time, I made the maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) variant of the medium airlifter CN-235, jointly developed by CASA Spain and IPTN Indonesia. This CN-235 MPA is the other unit operated by the Indonesian Air Force 27th Medium Airlift Squadron. Probably not the best CN-235 online, but I tried my best to made it as simple as possible and mobile-friendly.

The CN-235 was originally a joint project between CASA Spain and IPTN Indonesia in the 1980s, to produce a medium regional commuter airliner, but can also function as a military transport plane. Joint development continues for the -10 and -100 version, before the two manufacturer part ways and made their own development from the -200 version on. Majority of the CN-235 in the world was produced in Spain, with Indonesia holding the right to produce and sell the type in Asia-Pacific, as well as African market.

The majority of CN-235 are operated as military transport, but it can also come in several versions such as civilian passenger/cargo transport, maritime patrol/surveillance aircraft (MPA/MSA), anti-submarine/anti-ship warfare (ASW), electronic and signal intelligence, medevac, coast guard, rain maker/fire fighting, search and rescue, and there are proposals to make a gunship variant as well. It is a multipurpose aircraft that can be fitted for a variety of missions.

GUIDE

A little trim adjustment can be done to maintain stable flight during cruising. You can maintain full 100% throttle during cruising as I put quite a lot of fuel in it so keeping a full thrust during flight is not a problem.
The aircraft also has a pretty impressive STOL capability. It can takeoff and land on short runways, even on dirt, grass, sand, or other unprepared airstrips. For better STOL performance during landing, I recommend to maintain a low speed during approach (about 170-190 mph, 8-12% throttle), cut the engine right on touchdown and slam on the brakes. You can use this aircraft to fly to remote regions in the map and land on any unprepared surfaces.
For those of you who plays on PC, I recommend to use mouse as joystick for better controls and smooth handlings. Hope you guys enjoy it!
