W-2 Skycharter (WIP)

Description
The W-2 Skycharter is a aircraft meant for light transport of either cargo or passengers. It is my first aircraft and is still very much a WIP and would appreciate any feedback, thanks.


-Working altitude hold function (big thanks to Leanier for helping me fix that), either enter a altitude on the keypad and push the ALT hold button on the bottom left, or if you push the ALT hold without a input in the keypad it will hold your current altitude
-Steer the plane on the ground using the brake hotkeys, I hope to find a better way to do it but for now use the brakes
-Multiple displays that read your speed, alt, bearing, fuel, and attitude indicator


To start:
Hold down the starter hotkey (1) add power and you are good to go

Microcontrollers used:

no, i just inspected the work in the editor and noticed that the left engine is not connected to the radiator

also you have a big fuel consumption because you don't have a gearbox, add it and set to the 3:1

The update looks great but it likes to point its nose down. Please remove weight from the front or add some to the back. Maybe make the landing gear retractable? It looks kind of derpy flying with big polls with wheels on them.

Hmm that's an issue I haven't encountered, did the engine blow up on you?

Some minor detail improvements that could be made (If anything I have said was insulting to you it was NOT intentional):
1: The interior is a little plane (see what I did there?) Consider adding a touch of color like a light gray. It does a lot more than you think it will.
2: Please add instructions on how to use the plane. I was a little confused at first.
3: You're using a compass sensor which needs to be flat. If you want the compass to be where it is now you need to use a compass ball.

I understand this is a WIP so you may already be considering some of these. It looks great so far. Keep up the good work.:steamhappy: :D

Never mind yes it does, but you have it hooked up to the landing lights. Unless this is intentional - please fix this.

The rear nav. light on the tail doesn't turn on when the nav. lights are on. Please fix this.
