UPDATE:
Now H4/UNICON compatible! (6 UNICON/H4 Slots)

What did I improve? Containers!

The plane can now hold containers and I made a checklist on how to load them further down. I can almost garuantee you that you won't be able to figure out how to do it yourself so please just read the checklist

I also...
- made it fit in and out of the hangar
- improved landing gear stability
- improved cockpit design and controls
- "fixed" the AP
- "fixed" the AH
- fixed some paint issues
- added Fire supression systems
- wrote some checklists because I was bored
- made it UNICON compatible


CHECKLISTS:


How to transport containers:

Technically this thing can carry 2 containers but you should also be carrying a vehicle with you
that can move the containers and for that vehicle I recommend the CCR4 by LORGS which can
be transported just like a second container. Here's the checklist:

1. Move your container/s right behind the cargo ramp
2. Open the ramp
3. Move the roof winch all the way back
4. Extend the container connection arms
5. Connect the container to the small roof winches via rope (one on each side)
6. Make sure the top and bottom connectors are on
7. Pull the container in through the small roof winches until it connects with the arms
8. Turn off the winches but leave them connected
9. Move the roof winch forward as far as possible (If the container gets stuck wiggle the ramp up and down until it moves again)
10. Turn on the floor connectors for container 1 (button labled "container 1 disconnect")
11. Retract the container connection arms
12. Pull the container until it connects to the floor using the small roof winches
13. Turn off the container roof connectors and remove the ropes from the winches

Container 1 succesfully connected! Here's how to connect the second one:

14. Ensure that the roof winch assembly can move freely and that the container roof connectors are off
15. Move the roof winch back again
16. Extend container connection arms
17. Connect the container to the small roof winches via rope
18. Make sure the top and bottom connectors are on
19. Pull the container in through the small roof winches until it connects with the arms
20. Turn off the winches but leave them connected
21. Move the roof winch forward until you get close to the first container.
22. Retract container connection arms
23. Turn on the floor connectors for container 2
24. Move the roof winch forward to just past the start of container 1
25. Pull the container until it connects to the floor using the small roof winches
26. Turn off the container roof connectors and remove the ropes from the winches



Container Unloading Checklist:

1. Disconnect all Containers
2. Lower Cargo Ramp
3. Make sure the container connectors are all off
4. Use winches to pull out the containers or...
4. ... push them out with the connection arms
(if they get stuck just try to move them back and forth until they get unstuck)
(if they get stuck on the ramp wiggle it around until they get unstuck)
5. Remove them from the back using a vehicle designed for moving containers (like the CCR4 by LORGS)
6. Move the roof winch all the way forward
7. Close the cargo ramp



Takeoff Checklist:

1. Ensure cargo is secured and ramp is closed
2. Turn on all 4 engines (and lights as required)
3. Wait for a few seconds until all are running
4. Throttle up to about 10 and taxi out of the hangar
5. Throttle down and apply brakes
6. Unfold the wings
7. Release Brakes and taxi until lined up with the runway
8. Slowly throttle up and take off
9. Retract landing gear



Landing Checklist:

1. Line up with the runway
2. Reduce throttle to about 22-ish (depending on the weight of the cargo)
3. Extend Landing gear
4. Cut throttle just before touchdown
5. Land
6. Apply brakes if needed
7. Once you come to a stop release brakes and taxi away from the runway using throttle of about 10




NON-NORMAL CHECKLISTS:



Landing Gear Collapsed:

1. Lower cargo ramp as far as possible
2. Physics detail: low
3. After the landing gear un-collapses check for damage



Engine Failure:

LAND ASAP
1. Disengage AP and AH
2. identify damaged engine and shut it down
3. DO NOT counter trim the yaw
4. Reduce throttle to about 40
5. Counter assymetric thrust by constantly switching between half yaw to the opposite side and no yaw input



Engine Fire:

1. Throttle down to 35
2. Turn on Engine Fire supression for that engine and if needed the engine next to it
3. If the engine is quickly extinguished check for fuel leaks and continue flight as normal
3. If the engine cannot be extinguished proceed with standard engine failure checklist and LAND ASAP



Cargo hold fire:

1. Try to extinguish the fire using handheld extinguishers
2. In ALL cases LAND ASAP
3. If fire can be extinguished check for damage after landing



I might add other cargo standards later but for now this is a WIP, also Frantic if you are reading this and have any problems with this being uploaded, let me know.
