@QingyuZhou If you're not too far in, would you like me to send you the most advanced version? It has the roll-controlling spoilers, auto-reversers, and better overall performance.
@zhengzejian2270 I don't either, but I managed to get it transformed to a 757 wing for a new updated 757 I'm doing. This wing actually came from my 757-200 in the first place.
@CarterTheTurtle One more quick question, do you want the aircraft to have retractable airstairs like the 737(I think it's a good idea but might add 20-30 parts). I can still keep it under 600.
@MrPorg137 I made the M600 on a different computer. I finished it this summer, at which time I had a work computer that was at least twice as powerful as my current school-issued laptop. I'm in boarding school 800 miles from home right now, and I don't have access to any other computers. My current computer has a maximum (20fps) part count of about 8-900, even with all drag calculations turned off. I wish the designers made the option for the entire plane to be one model, which would take away crashes, but would run wayyyyyy faster.
@CarterTheTurtle Thank you for the positive feedback! I will check out your channel! The model numbers that are available are the M900 and the M400. Which sounds better to you? (the M400 is currently an aircraft with almost the same dimensions that never got published, maybe I should just brand this as the M400. (I actually have the M100 all the way to the M800 already, I just don't have the computer power required to finish them.)) IT does take quite a bit of time but it is worth it when you get it right! M700 link- never finished
@CarterTheTurtle Alright! I have a 727 in the making and a really old one on my profile, but I also have a DC-10/MD-11 in the making as well.
.
So far, your aircraft is almost done, the nose I already had made last week, the wings were modified from the m300, and it has nice engines with spinning fans. All that's left is the interior. Because 1-2-1 would use an extra "slot" 1seat-1aisle-2seat-1aisle-1seat (total 6 slots of width) the company chose to go with the roomier and more economical 2-2, which only has 5 slots, keeping the airplane slimmer, lighter, and lowering the drag. So far, the airplane has 309 parts with no interior.
@CarterTheTurtle I'm drawing up plans with my engineers now. We should have a rough sketch of the aircraft in a week or two. I do have one more question, however. Is there a certain seating arrangement you'd like? How many seats in a row? The less seats in a row, the longer the aircraft will be. For example, if you'd like 5 seats in a row, 10 rows. For 4, 13 rows. If you'd like 3, 17 rows. We could even go to 2, with 25 rows. 50 seats 1 row
@CarterTheTurtle I can do that for you, I just need to know some specifics.
1. two engines, right?
2. How many seats?
3. What kind of range (theoretical)
4. Anything else?
5. T-tail or conventional?
6. Around 400-500 parts?
@JohnnyBoythePilot unfortunately, I'm quite sure that the landing gear cannot be locked in a specific orientation. However, the landing gear can be always retracted above a specific airspeed. I would recommend the code
.
clamp01(clamp01((TAS)+(-134.112))+clamp01(LandingGear))
.
In my new airliner with automatic landing gear, the gear comes down by itself when the airplane is below 500 meters and below 85m/s (191mph). The gear can be put down at any time with the Activate8 command. I would really recommend making the landing gear automatic, as well as flaps, rudder slip correction, and autothrottle. My code is a little bit sloppy, but it works.
.
(clamp01(Activate8))X(clamp01((clamp01(AltitudeAgl+(-500)))+(clamp01((GS)+(-85)))))
.
Activate 8 is usually on, so the first half of the code is generally always 1. The second half of the code is the clamp01 of Altitude (where output is always 1 above 500 meters and 1 above 85 m/s. Therefore, because of this "or" statement, the plane always has it's landing gear out when below 500m AGL and 191mph (landing speed for my airplane). When the entire code=1, the landing gear is up.
.
The website wouldn't let me write the asterisks for multiplying, so please change the X's into asterisks. Feel free to use my code and adjust the numbers for your own airplane!
Quick hint guys:
If you're using a windows computer and can't get some input to work, try pasting it into notepad++. It tells you which parentheses attach to what and is very helpful when you don't know if your groupings are correct.
@CRJ900Pilot That's going to be super hard but I bet I could minus the heading hold. It wouldn't work for airport like bandit and yeager though that have drop-offs at the end.
@enzoBoeing757 It's probably an issue with your plane. Make sure it is exactly the same weight and drag on each side. An easy way to fix this is to add weights on one side.
You can use triangle math (sine, cosine, tangent) and the Pythagorean stuff to find the exact angles and lengths of the fuselage blocks. For example, if you have a fuselage block that has a run of 5 and a length of three, you can find that the length from the base to the top is 4.
Thankfully, the rise and run are in the same units as length and width. Use a triangle angle calculator online and then put those angle numbers into fine tuner to make the flaps and wing perfectly aligned.
@SnoWFLakE0s I'm new to this. I'm looking to have an input that is triggerable above 45 mph and turns off (locks off)when the GS is 45 mph or below. I'd like that input to be bound to brake, and have an AG of 3. How would I be able to do this?
I forgot to mention this before-
The wing is 10 degrees turned to the right to simplify the building process. Once it is finished, it will be rotated back straight.
@Armyguy1534 thanks! I should have known that lol
@QingyuZhou Alright, I'll have it to you today.
@XAircraftManufacturer sure! Thanks for the compliment!

@QingyuZhou Okay! Please tag me when it's done!
@QingyuZhou Go ahead, just credit. I want to see what my master builder role model can do with my creation lol
@Giantwhale Alright, I'll think about it, but I probably don't have the computer power for full interiors at the moment.
@CarterTheTurtle still coming along
@VChart HERE
Wow, I can't believe you found this plane, it's almost 2 years old!
@CarterTheTurtle Going well, Working on the interior now, as well as a separate 747-200
@CarterTheTurtle Okay!
@CarterTheTurtle One more quick question, do you want the aircraft to have retractable airstairs like the 737(I think it's a good idea but might add 20-30 parts). I can still keep it under 600.
@CarterTheTurtle sure, I guess you'll be the tester of the final product.
@CarterTheTurtle sure!

@CarterTheTurtle You're welcome! Thanks for giving me and my company a chance to help you!
@MrPorg137 Thank you!
@CRJ900Pilot Thank you! It took about 4.5 hours so far. @CarterTheTurtle Alright, sure!
@CarterTheTurtle Alright. it'll be the M400. Of course you will get serial number 0001 and a special registration, probably N-M4CTT

@CarterTheTurtle alright. 4 per row.

@jamesPLANESii oops i forgot about mobile players
@SledDriver This is really cool! How do you get the "coordinates" or the exact numbers? By trial and error, or by some kind of math?
Also, if you aren't too busy, would you mind coming back to my autoland airliner? Please make sure to read the comment that I sent on there.
@owenliu The mods still work in 1.9. All of them.

@LiquidGalaxy By any chance was it This One
@Plane66373637 Is there, by any chance, a tutorial on these simpler alternatives to funky trees? I don't understand the trees either.
@SnoWFLakE0s I'm new to this. I'm looking to have an input that is triggerable above 45 mph and turns off (locks off)when the GS is 45 mph or below. I'd like that input to be bound to brake, and have an AG of 3. How would I be able to do this?
@Giantwhale Alright. I will try to, but my computer cannot run this plane right now.
Update: 201 parts, vortex generators installed.
@airbusa380 there we go exactly 1000
I forgot to mention this before-
The wing is 10 degrees turned to the right to simplify the building process. Once it is finished, it will be rotated back straight.
@DuckPak Thank you!
@DuckPak yup. My current computer runs this at 1 fps.
@klm747klm747 Flew for about a thousand miles. Nothing happened.
