Auto Credit Based on Wallaby's McDonnell Douglas MD-11F

My late Christmas present to you all! I completely remade my MD-11F from scratch, including accurate 1:1 size, suspension, MP friendly, mobile friendly, detail, and overall awesomeness!

History:

The MD-11 program was launched by McDonnell Douglas Aircraft corporation in the 1980's to fulfill the need for a more modern version of the DC-10. Changes include new winglets, a 40+foot stretch of the fuselage, a more modern cockpit, and better aerodynamics. The MD-11 was introduced in 1988. Boeing continued building the aircraft after the infamous McDonnell Douglas-Boeing merger up to 2000. After that, airlines began retiring their MD-11s as passenger carriers because the aircraft was both fuel inefficient and had slightly higher maintenance costs due to the placement of the third engine. Airlines preferred more efficient, lower cost twin jets over the tri-jets and the quad-jets. The last passenger MD-11 flight was flown by KLM on October 26, 2014, ending the 80 year relationship between KLM and Douglas corporation. KLM flew every Douglas aircraft type ever produced.

To date, the MD-11F only flies with cargo carriers, such as Lufthansa Cargo, FedEx, UPS, Martinair, etc.

What To Do?

Starting:

ACT2+Gear up to close gear doors. ACT5,6,7, for lights.

Takeoff:

VTOL down 1/4 way for flaps. ACT5,6,7 are lights. Throttle initially to about 15%, and then slowly increase the throttle to about 50%. Begin rotation at 140mph. After you leave the ground, ACT2+Gear down to open gear doors, ACT1+Gear up to raise gear, and ACT2 again to raise doors and hide the gear.

Landing:

Same thing, except flaps full, no less than 160mph with more than 70% fuel (throttle around 20%, varies with weight, height, and position), and gear sequence backwards. Land smoothly and apply brakes, along with ACT3 (reverse thrust) and ACT4 (speed brakes).

CONTROLS:

ACT1+LandingGear: Landing Gear
ACT2+LandingGear: Landing Gear doors
ACT3+Brake: Reverse Thrust
ACT4+Brake: Speed Brakes
ACT5: Landing Lights
ACT6: NAV Lights
ACT7: Beacon Lights

Trim: Trim
Roll: Roll
Pitch: YAAAAWWWW
Yaw: Yaw
VTOL: Flaps

    Apparently "_" sandwiching a letter does the same thing "*" does.
