@CRJ900Pilot Thank you!
Basically, the plane know which runway you are using by figuring out which way you are traveling. If your rate(Latitude) is positive, you are heading between 271 and 89 degrees. If negative, your heading is between 91 and 269. Therefore if your rate is positive, you will be heading north and landing on runway 36. The code then calculates the touchdown point of runway 36, and aligns the imaginary ILS line to be a 1/15 slope from that position. because the airport is not at sea level, I made the line 71 meters higher.
Next step is to make it automatically work with Yeager too (But because the airport is not perfectly aligned with the compass, it will be a lot harder).
@PlaneFlightX Cool!
@YourWife The finished plane will be tested on a different computer, but yes the wings run at 6 fps for one, 2 fps for two, and about 1 fps for wings and body (3072 parts)
Well you see, I only run the finished 757 at 5 FPS, I built each component individually and then assemble them on an i5 1060 PC. For example, the components that I build are:
One wing
Fuselage
Cockpit in three parts
Then I assemble these together, test flight dynamics, and I’m done! @PlaneFlightX
Just full cockpit consisting of main panel, overhead panel, and center console, @CenturyAerospace .
Yup @PlaneFlightX
I am using an intel Celeron N2940 and integrated graphics. 4GB DDR3. @UtsuhoReiuji
Just wanted to let anyone still interested know that the airplane is now 3000 parts... each wing is 840 and each landing gear is 117. The aircraft has no cockpit yet. However, the modeling is very accurate. The landing gear is perfectly timed, and sits in hollow bays. The fuselage is not detailed yet, only having windows. But the fuselage alone is 1024 parts.
I have spared no expense with this project. Finished craft will be over 5000 for sure. @SavageMan
@Galaxylechat the airplane with no cockpit is currently 3000 parts.
@UltraLight Good idea! Business class is actually in the hump though.
@NojusGindrenas I’ll consider, but I just did delta.
@avgeek101 People really don't do that. Look at my 757-200, there's only one successor and it's got 104 upvotes. And that one thing is just a reduced part count version.
@avgeek101 What's wrong with someone making successors?
@Gundamboy I will be using glass fuselage for the windows of the cockpit. There will be full cockpit interior.
@SavageMan Sure!
@avgeek101 Not based on any airline, I chose to make the PW4000 variant because I already had the PW2000 from my 757. It might be KLM.
@REW Yep, custom fan blades. They spin properly too. I'm working on the flaps right now, they have some weird physics because there are three rotators/pistons on each one.
@SavageMan The fuselage will most likely not be hollow, but there will definitely be a cockpit (kind of like on my 757)
@SierraX Thank you!
@REW Thanks! I used some inspiration from your 747 wings, and I knew that there had to be some way to make the wings taper properly and still look very smooth. I made the bottom of the wing mostly flat so the landing gear retraction would actually go INTO the wing (and sit flush with it), and not just clip through some fuselage blocks. It took three tries, but I'm happy now! P.S. The engines are 118 parts each.
I'm testing out a new wing method that combines the triangulation method and the regular wing-thickness wing method. The nose is not the final shape, it is subject to change when I make the hollow cockpit (with full panel, overhead, center console, etc.)
Good job. Congratulations on your feature. This plane has the detail that it needs. The livery and other small details (and the screenshots) are very good. Maybe next time add cockpit interior?
You're welcome for the engines blades and other small help!
(Can't believe we got two great airliners in one week!)
@REW Very good job on this. The smoothness of the fuselage, along with the wings and other minor details, are very good. One thing though, what about windows and doors?
Congrats again on being the owner of the best SP 787 ever!

@Gundamboy This will be a Boeing 747-400 with PW4000 engines. I may also make a 747-200 if this gets attention. The only thing is that it will require a whole new cockpit. I may just make the RB211 version afterwards.
@Gundamboy I bought my news SP gaming computer for $521. I already had a processor, a used I7 2600. Although it is an older generation, it is more than enough to run SP and GTA V. The only thing that I would not suggest doing is using a really old machine, DDR3 RAM is the highest I can go. I would suggest a $750 build if you are using all new components. the I3 9100F or I5 9600K are the best processors for the money. Here's a list I made
@FeiWu Thank you very much for the positive feedback! Your aircraft are very good as well! This airplane will be more detailed than the 757, because I just bought a new computer for SP. Going from a GTX 1060 to a 1650 Super.
@FeiWu I don't have any more commitment that the average person (I think). I just keep at a project until it is done. Also, this one will take a long time because it will be over 5,000 parts, making it the best 747 on the website. Full cockpit interior, perfect flight dynamics, ETC.

Seconds AGO
@AsteroidAsteroidTheBook Yes.
@Galaxylechat There are a lot of unneeded parts that are just decoration. Probably about 300-400.
@FusionFire Sure, just give credit. I am making an entire 747 by the way.
@Thebite12345678910 I'm planning on making it 7474 parts.
@FusionFire Yes. Look at the part count.
Thanks to everyone who is supporting me!

@CRJ900Pilot
I like 747s and this one looks nice @MobileMobileTheFriendly
I can do that after I finish the entire thing. About a month and a half. @Galaxylechat
Hey, I can upload the wings soon but I do want to say they are 840 each @Galaxylechat
Check out the last two pictures, I fixed it @SavageMan

@lianken Lol it's no worry at all, I think it's interesting! I can test it later today and give feedback.
Interesting.

@LastManStanding @tsampoy @BagelPlane Thanks for the positive feedback!
Release date- December 26
Part count so far- 1000
I'm testing out a new wing method that combines the triangulation method and the regular wing-thickness wing method. The nose is not the final shape, it is subject to change when I make the hollow cockpit (with full panel, overhead, center console, etc.)
@IHateAirbusA330 Nope, I had 1 FPS while running this on the laptop that I built it on.
@IHateAirbusA330 I built 90% of this on HD Graphics. I only tested and assembled the final product on a GTX 1060.
9/10, just because there's a bit on engine detail lacking (on the exhaust nozzle)
Good job
Thanks man, you saved me a lot of time!
@ParziParziTheVal Hi! I am making the 747! I will link you on the most recent model. I'm making good progress too!
@SavageMan I'll be glad to test and give detailed feedback for you, but I must say that you need to fix the engine exhausts. They're a bit too blocky.
Good job. Congratulations on your feature. This plane has the detail that it needs. The livery and other small details (and the screenshots) are very good. Maybe next time add cockpit interior?

@AABBA I would try to work with him, but I'd like this to be my own creation 100%. Also, he's pretty busy and must be tired after his 787.

Hey this is pretty good
@REW Thank you very much! You were the first person to inspire me to build airliners (with your 737-800).
@FeiWu Thank you very much for the positive feedback! Your aircraft are very good as well! This airplane will be more detailed than the 757, because I just bought a new computer for SP. Going from a GTX 1060 to a 1650 Super.
Very good! Your landing gear is especially well done.
@FeiWu I don't have any more commitment that the average person (I think). I just keep at a project until it is done. Also, this one will take a long time because it will be over 5,000 parts, making it the best 747 on the website. Full cockpit interior, perfect flight dynamics, ETC.
@FeiWu @ThePropellerIsAFan
Thank you! You will both be tagged on the final release in three months.
