The Autopilot features work quite well overall, only thing I’d say is that the autothrottle is a bit confusing to use because if you change the manual throttle input it doesn’t work as well
Yeah, I understand now. The code should actually be very similar to the landing gear.
Here is the code I usually use for the gear: ceil(smooth(clamp01(LandingGear), 1 / x))
And for the doors: ceil(smooth(clamp01(LandingGear), 1 / y)) -
floor(smooth(clamp01(LandingGear), 1 / z))
So for the gear x is the time in seconds it will wait for the door to open on extension. y and z will add similar delays for the gear door on extension and retraction.
I think you’ve discovered the pain of the mirror tool… When you mirror any group of parts that’s supposed to move, you usually have to go back and check all the connections because the game will add all kinds of random connections that will prevent stuff from moving.
And also, making a manually controlled VTOL aircraft is quite hard, so I’d recommend adding a gyro to stabilize the plane while in VTOL mode

+1@929 yes, I take my own thumbnail photos
+1Cool!
+1Really fun to fly and does kulbits really well!
+1However, it’s a bit hard to land/taxi cause the steering variable is blank
Beautiful Trent 700s and the engine noise is really nice as well👍
+1@Rob119 thanks! Yeah, there are a lot of countries not represented in the builds on this site
+1The items the items the items the items can’t wait for the new the items islands!
+1This is amazing. This is one of those planes that I could fly for hours and never get bored. Fun startup sequence too!
+1Gotta try make windows like that sometime. looks pretty smooth

+1@jamesPLANESii I had the same problem when I first tried https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1585109/Button-Switch-Interaction-Types
+1Lovely!
+1Very Festive!
+1These things are nasty irl
+1Bro even made the eyes move 😂
+1I thought that thumbnail was the real thing! Great job

Cool project, hope you find this helpful
+1Nice! A lot of detail and functionality with few parts
+1Cool landing gear and well done it’s a really believable WWII design
+1Nice job! There’s so much stuff to check out for only 1300 parts
+1Nice! usually this kind of build is only possible with mods
+1awesome!
+1long boi
+1cool landing gear design
+1These old liveries are always nice to see!
+1rly nice replica!
+1These planes are an amazing rework! I can see the attention to detail like the wheel caps and door placement, gear bays, etc.
+1You should add this lol 😁
+1nice interior for the part count
+1@WinsWings @Trainzo Thanks!
+1wow, this is rly good for a bronze
+1This is awesome
+1yoooo that’s insane
+1T
It’s here!
+1@Apollo018362, what’s the deadline?
+1Nice touch that you decided to make all the shuttles! Also cool that you included details like the gear not being retractable and the air brake
+1Nicceee
+1Would you count a Shorts 360 as a stol plane?
+1@LM0418
+1Very detailed. Creative use of parts for the fan blades too!
+1Nice! adds a lot more life to the airport after dark
+1@Mal0ne phew! 😅 Don’t know if I’ll be able to run the high part version, but I’m excited nonetheless
+1Very detailed and pretty! Only thing is it guzzles fuel like there’s no tomorrow
+1Wowww! This is one of the most detailed GA aircraft I’ve ever seen!
+1This is my favorite dinosaur!! And it’s in SP! This is an amazing day!
+1Awesome
+1Nice build!
+1Also, I had no idea you could change the instruction text colors
This has got to be one of the best DC-8s out there! There aren’t many builds with such detailed liveries also
+1daaaaaaammmn
+1Holy Flaps! I love it.
