Accurate model of Tupolev Tu-124 early 1960s regional jet. In fact, this was the first turbofan-equipped passenger jet in the world, and it's descendant, Tu -134 (same plane with stretched wings and fuselage, T-tail and rear mounted engines) is still in commercial use today. The model is slightly fictional yet: unlike the original, outboard spoilers double as spoilerons, as on more modern planes and wing is taken from my Tu-134B model - outer sections are about 2,5 m longer, such wings were only installed on later development of this plane - Tu-134 ... The plane is actually in 1:1 scale and weight, all the aerodynamic features work correctly and it flies more or less realistically (except for gliding, for unknown reason it is a lot shittier than it should be ).

Stabilizer (pitch adjustment) is adjustable with trim slider.

Mechanics work with VTOL slider.

AG1 - Landing gear; (100% UP = Gear Up, 0%= Gear Down)
AG2 - Flaps; (0% = Flaps retracted, 100% DOWN = Flaps deployed)
AG3 - Spoilers (= Airbrakes, 100% UP = Deployed, 0% = Retracted, tends to pitch up the plane, use on approach with partial deployment or after touch down with full deployment)
AG4 - Left engine
AG5 - Right engine
AG6 - Landing lights;
AG7 - Nav. Lights;
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when active - steers to the limit, when deactivated - steers 5 degrees, deactivate on takeoffs and landing, activate for ground maneuvers only)

Take off procedure - Trim 1/2 up, flaps 1/2 down, full thrust

Landing procedure - full flaps, trim 1/2 up, 65-70% thrust. Be careful with spoilers on landing, they pitch up the plane (surprisingly, that was an issue in real life, more modern planes compensate that automatically with stabilizer adjustment)

Said to be working on mobile devices. From my experince - almost a sldeshow. But i tried on samsung a3 cellphone) Probably may work on new ipads and so on.

    @ElysiumDarkness It's not so difficult to do. What controls you want to make less sensitive? Roll? Pitch? How much?

    It runs decent on mobile, but the controls are like old Ace Combat on PS2 touchy. If it's possible to make them a little less sensitive plz do so, if so, PLZ DO IT! That's all and HAPPY FLYING!

    @ChiChiWerx I've found a plugin that allows altering parts coordinates in game. Dull, but doable)

    How did you pull off the flight deck/cockpit? Haven't seen consistently good ones across the community, so how'd you do yours?
