Project Boeing 747 Development Thread

Well, after adapting the code of my HR1 a little, the Boeing 985-121 Microfighter is now flying.

VS Code and G++ go brrrr...

This scene reminds me a bit of the TB-3 SPB "fighter carrier" from the old good immortal IL-2 Sturmovik, capable of carrying two Polikarpov I-16 fighters:

Anyway, nicely done! This Microfighter looks like it is not only exceeding the speed of sound, but also exceeding its era!

Modeling the Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter.
There are three models left to complete: the Boeing 747-8, Boeing 747-100 and the Virgin Orbit.

Well, I finally have an alpha/beta release ready so you can test it and tell me what you think, what I need to improve, and so on.

For now I have this and more:

Known bugs:

Thrust configuration is not realistic.

747-SOFIA sinks in the ground, press G two times to correct it.

Fuel configuration and ISP is not realistic.

Engines sounds are too loud and annoying.

TO-DO

Improve beacons.

Save/restore engines status from scenario file.

Fix ISP, fuel consumption and thrust configurations.

Make a mesh for the rear APU engine.

Etc.

You can find the test releases on my GitHub page.

Will you release a 2016 version too?

Will you release a 2016 version too?

I guess it should work in Orbiter 2016 too. Could you try it at Orbiter 2016? As far as I know the programming (the API, the SDK) is practically the same (correct me if I'm wrong).
