SkyWolf 485A 'Caribou'

Mod MrSilverWolf  3.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on MrSilverWolf's SkyWolf 485A 'Caribou'

Instructions:
Activation Groups 1 through 3 for lights
Activation Group 4 for oil dip sticks
Activation Group 5 for windshield wipers
Activation Group 6 for the heater in the nose (it only shows exhaust from a pipe under the nose)
Activation Group 7 for de ice boots (hard to see)
Activation Group 8 off for control lock on tail, parking brake and AG8 on for beacon
VTOL down for flaps


Rotate: IAS, 95mph (82knots, 152kph)
Landing speed, IAS,100mph (86knots,160kph) to 110mph (95knots, 177kph) fully configured, and depending on the angle of the approach that should be 35% to 50% power. 40% to 45% power and pitch to keep 100 to 110mph works best)

Enough fuel to start a fueling company empire, or for 4 hours of flying

Warnings:
Going past IAS 404mph (351knots, 650kph) will result in the yeeting of the tail due to going past the never exceed speed

With the latest update, engines may explode at random at any point in flight
If it becomes a continuous problem, the fix should be disabling the collisions on the prop hub and prop, if the problem still occurs, please let me know and I’ll take a closer look into “prop”erly fixing it


Other versions:
Mobile friendlier version
481 (shortened fuselage)
481TC (shortened fuselage, turbine conversion)
485C “Super Caribou” (beta)

    Amazing work! It so hard to pick a favorite aspect, so I'll just list a few. The paint chips are very unique; they add a good sense of age and use. The gear sequencing is very cool, I like how it stutters, for a lack of a better word. Also the tail separating mechanism is wonderful, it gives a further sense of realism. Bravo!

    @NITROSHARK nice! Yeah I wanted something a little more cheery colored for the airline, Aruba airlines fit that pretty well I think

    @FoxBoy78 that’s because KPH is different from MPH, it should come off at 650KPH
