Bacon's Airbus E-Fan 4.0 Overhaul

Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's E-Fan Electric Aircraft

This is an overhauled version of BaconAircraft's replica of the Airbus E-Fan 4.0, a 4-seat, twin prop, electric powered, lightweight aircraft developed in Munich, Germany that will probably hit the market during the next 2 years.

Modifications:
- new highly modded engines that stop when you put throttle down and look more like the real ones, also sounding closer to real electric props
- less braketorque for finer speed adjustments during taxiing and more realistic handling
- cockpit glass added
- full set of exterior lights added
- fixed/reduced some clipping of the cockpit panels
- small fixes on parts that were mirrored incorrectly or were off-center
- bound flaps to an AG, so you can control pitch trim independently with the flaps deactivated
- changed the POV cams around, so you get into pilot view first, also made them straight, so your view doesn't look weird when rotating it

Controls:

AG1: turn on all lights
AG2: activate flaps
Trim-slider: pitch trim and flaps
+ standard throttle, roll, pitch and yaw controls
propeller pitch is on automatic for convenience

Speeds:

Vmax low altitude: ~165 MPH
Vmax 10000 ft: ~185 MPH
takeoff speed: 130 MPH
climb speed: 135-140 MPH
stall speed (full flaps and full pitch trim up): 75 MPH
reference landing speed (full flaps and full pitch trim up): 100 MPH

    @denialofservice BaconAircrafts made it, I just overhauled it. It needs so many parts, because it is a very smooth and streamlined design. Also the fan ducts need a lot of parts, as we don't have hull parts. Getting this amount of fidelity to run on low performance devices is nearly impossible, with my Pilatus PC-12NG beeing an exception, as I could upscale many parts of the fuselage to make them cover a larger area.

    Going to sleep now, if anyone else has issues with the props, please put a comment and tell me about it, then I'll look into it later, though I can't reproduce that glitch myself.

    @TTHHSSSS It doesn't have an exhaust, it doesn't need any fuel at all (just one gallon so there is fuel available, but it takes forever to use it). And also it sounds pretty much like an E-Fan. :D

    It's coming to my mind that the T1000 might actually be an E-Fan in SP, as it doesn't have an engine or atleast space for an engine like the T2000 and T3000, also it doesn't have a conventional piston or jet engine sound, rather a buzzing sound like an electric engine.

    @Razr You would have to do the balancing with the floats all over again when you add more stuff to it.
