About

The Lykins 101 is The New Republic of SimpleLandia's first airliner. It entered the blueprint phase when SimpleLandia first became a nation. The Lykins 101 is a medium-range, jet, small, passenger airliner, used to fly between Wright and Yeager. Holding up to 8 passengers, with 2 crewmembers, this airliner also has a large cargo bay at the rear of plane, making it more of a multirole jet. Powered by two turbofans, this beauty can get up to >320 mph at max cruising speed. Also included are 200 flares on the wings, to protect it from enemy missiles.

The B variant is slightly different because it has two engines instead of one. It flies more stable and it is more efficient.

Also a Hall of Fame build in _Technion.


Features

  • custom SimpleLandian livery
  • interior
  • somewhat detailed cockpit
  • custom landing gear
  • opening cargo and passenger doors
  • bright lights
  • low takeoff speed and STOL
  • multiple cameras for passenger and pilot views
  • working yokes and stick
  • emergency flares

Notes

AG1: Open doors / main interior lights
AG2: Cargo bay door / cargo bay lights
AG3: Passenger lights
AG4: Passenger lights
AG5: Cockpit lights
AG7: Raise Trailing edges / enable gyroscope
AG8: Main aircraft lights
Needs a bit of up trim for level flight
The flares in the cockpit do not work, so don't panic when using the flares on the wings.


Caution

This project really tested my Ultra-Potato Edition Kindle Fire, so it was really difficult to work on at first (lag, super slow loading, slideshow, etc.). But then it worked really well, so it's not perfect, but it's what I wanted, so good luck!

    I made a freighter version of this with 2 passenger seats, but I can't upload it because I have to disable mods. (Not that it uses any mods.)

    It's fine, I realised it lands a lot better with gyroscope. Nice plane!

    I'm gonna give a full diagnosis to how this thing does
    Pros:

    Exterior lights are done right
    Livery is done well
    Full interior, even the cargo bay is there (Pretty much a combi)
    Very stable in-flight

    Cons:

    Doesn't turn to the right on taxi
    Landing gear bounces around and retracts too fast (realistically)
    I found that using throttle to trim was more effective (I don't use on-screen controls so the trim slider isn't there)
    Interior is either messy or too simple
    Cockpit view is just the wall
    Too many cameras to flip through
    Cockpit view is hard to fly with because your field of view is very small out of that little window
    As I said below, the plane realistically would blow apart at cruising altitude
    Doesn't glide, or doesn't have realistic drag

    Minor crap:

    Blinking lights in the cockpit serve no purpose
    Pitch control doesn't work with the built yoke
    Folding wingtips is a neat idea, but it's completely useless on a plane as small as this
    THERE'S NO GOSH DARN PARKING BRAKE
    No flaps, which, I guess isn't needed on a plane that stalls at around 100 or so
    Interior is painted like the outside, looks pretty weird

    That was the diagnosis, hopefully you can improve upon it.
