Jet Flight Simulator

An attempt to make a Realistic Principia Jet flight Simulator

UPDATE 1 : stabilizer removed for a more predictable flight, along with some tweaks

UPDATE 2 : added back the stabilizer and Tweaked the flight model some more, when trust vector down to fly straight, altitude wouldn't be reduced as fast

UPDATE 3 : added runway Lights and props, the runway now have a length limit, so it is important to use the thrust vectoring (thruster up/down) and flaps to take off or you will crash, Tweaked the flight model a bit also

Controls are

On Left :
Z - throttle control (with thrust % indicator)
V - brake engage and release
X - thrust vector up and down (control all the way down, thruster aims straight rest position , control 1/4 way up thruster aims down to lower front of Jet, control all the way up thruster aims up to raise front of the Jet)

On Right :
Circle controller - control flap up / down
C - lower / raise landing gear (Shown as L on the indicator)
F - start engine
Top Slider - open / close cockpit hatch

Taking Off :
Close Hatch, Start Engine, Raise flaps, raise thruster, release brake, throttle 100% , when in air, straighten flaps , straighten thruster and can reduce throttle to about 80%

Landing :
Lower flaps, reduce throttle to about 40-50% keep thruster straight, if descending too fast increase the throttle to about 60-70% close to landing and when the rear wheels touch down lower throttle fully to 10%, wait till speed is lowered a bit (seen on the Speedometer) then apply the brake, if descending to slow aim thruster down to dive, careful not to dive to close to landing



Note: beeping is Landing Gear reminder
Observe the fuel gauge
try not to crash!
