@BaconAircraft thanks, that’s very helpful. The spoilers actually also have to go to 60° when the plane is on the ground, but I think I can figure out the code for that.
@PlaneFlightX thanks for the suggestion! If it doesn’t add too many parts, I’ll probably do that. (although it does add up to 44 fan blades) Also, the sound of the propeller is definitely a little out of place on a GE90.
@KendJello one way you could improve performance is by setting the “calculate drag” XML attribute to false on most parts. The performance cost won’t go down, but it should give the game an easier time with the physics simulation.
Amazing plane btw! Very few airliners have such a detailed cockpit and a beautiful livery/exterior as well.
@NaziParty Er… I haven’t touched it in a few months. The main thing that held it back from being released last summer was the artificial horizon. If I find a way to solve those problems and people seem to want the plane, I would consider working on it in the first half of this year.
@GalacticaAsia thanks for the advice and sorry for taking so long to reply. I originally had a similar setup to your A330 where the back was weighted to cause the tilt. I have since added a spring and piston per the advice of PlaneFlightX and it works pretty nicely. I’ll definitely be looking out for your control base method when you post it though. Sounds interesting!
Nice detailed aircraft. I appreciate that you took the time to make all the gear doors open to have the gear retract into an actual opening in the aircraft. (Most people don’t do this) The aircraft is a bit tricky to handle, but a little bit of XML could fix that. Overall, cool build!
@fleia262 here is the link to a pdf Boeing published. On page 20/21 there are ortho drawings of the -200 and -300. They helped me a lot with getting the basic shape of the aircraft, but you may need to find pictures of you want to have more detail. Also, this is the link if you want other Boeing models. I haven’t checked these, but they should have decent drawings. Hope this helps!
Cool! I actually just started making a 777-200 a couple of weeks ago. If you would like some blueprints for the basic shape, I’d be glad to give them to you.
Looks clean!

+1It’s nice to see a livery that doesn’t rely on text boxes. Great job!
+1Awesome job!
+1Interesting thumbnail…

+1Nice!
+1Nice to see a high-quality livery!
+1Cool, I had that too

+1@PlaneFlightX– Thanks, that works quite well! I should have known by now that your SWL-120 has a similar feature.

+1Hi @Vincent, could you please make this post a successor to this (https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/YbIuoU/Christmas-Challenge-OPEN) challenge? Thank you
+1Great build!
+1Great startup sequence! The cockpit is well detailed.
+1@PlaneFlightX,
+1If you have time, could you help?
2024? Veeery long term
+1gween is cool because twees are gween
+1@DARZAVIATIONOFICIAL Thank you! And congratulations to the other participants!
+1@PlaneFlightX
+1Thanks, that’s very helpful!
Cool! T
+1I wish you luck on the livery :)
T
+1Very Nice!
+1Oh no, not trig
+1First ship I’ve downloaded in a while and I can’t stop shooting the ai planes with the CIWS. Great build!
+1T
+1@FRIGGLES I’m about halfway there. The cockpit is mostly functional but I haven’t done the cabin yet. and the part count is at 400 already lol
+1Np
+1I also think you should do B,
+1perhaps Icewave?
Go to the XML of the parts in the landing gear and change “disableAircraftCollisions” to true
+1Noice
+1T
¡Gracias!
+1Awesome work with FT and variables! It’s also really fun to fly
+1@FRIGGLES, how do you do a custom engine startup? Is it a sequence of activation groups or something else?
+1@FRIGGLES Yea, that seems about right. It depends on how complex the cabin will be.
+1@Juno thank you so much!
+1?
+1@Apollo018362, what’s the deadline?
T! perhaps you could do the old PIA livery?
@Robomo119E Ofc, just make sure to credit GalacticaAsia since they built the plane
Makes the XWB look like a pencil jet. Nice landing gear too!
Nice. Love the tail art too!
