Needs a GuroCockpit mod!

I came upon a weird phenomenae with gyrococpit and a big flexible airplane))) So press 4 (AG 4) to activate a patented Turbulence Simulator and enjoy)


Controls:
Has completely functional Flaps, Landing gear, Nav. Lights, Aileron trim and two cockpit cameras. It is a 1:1 scale and weight . It flies quite realistically.

Controls:

G - Landing gear;

AG1 - reserved for a nonexisting thrust reverser
AG2 + VTOL slider - Flaps; (0% = Flaps retracted, 100% DOWN = Flaps deployed)
AG3 + VTOL slider - Spoilers (= Airbrakes, 100% UP = Deployed, 0% = Retracted, i added a compensating mechanism to the stabiliser, but still tends to pitch up the plane a bit, use on approach with partial deployment (pitch compensator works between 0 and 1/2 UP, above that it pitches down to push plane to the runway) or after touch down with full deployment)
AG4 - Aileron trim (VTOL Up- roll left, Down - right) + Supposed Autopilot
AG5 - Engines
AG6 - Landing lights;
AG7 - Nav. Lights;
AG8 - Ground steering (sensitivity adjustment, when AG8 deactiveted - steers to the limit, when activated - steers 5 degrees) Positions - AG8 - ON on Take off/Landing, AG8 OFF for the ground movements

Take off procedure - Trim 1/2 up, flaps 1/2 down, full thrust , Rotate at about 145 MPH
Landing procedure - Full flaps, trim ~ 70% up, 55% thrust with full flaps at approach, 40% near the runway, approach speed 200 mph, over the runway drop thrust to 25%, deploy spoilers (AG3+ VTOL UP) if needed after touchdown. If bounced up, do not pitch down, just let it drop gently, nose down touch can be fatal).
Ascending - 90% thrust, trim ~15% UP.
Level flight - 75% thrust, trim ~15% UP.

    @LoganS its because part of a description was copied from a previous plane, where the word looking was exactly on the brake point "read more" - "read less"
