*Comes in wearing a complete Malay Eid outfit*
Wrong people. I was busy chatting with cousins and relatives!
@YNM, how's your Eid doing?

The rear part? Yes, I've thought about it. So far I have absolutely no idea how to implement it without breaking into a new bulkhead.
Well I've tried replicating the Omniview windows by putting two of the cockpits back-to-back and it fits. With the 'stock AP+' for sure.
Anyhow, why not give a fresher
manename styling of Airplane Plus? I suggest Airplane+. -
3/10 I live near the equator so I'm not sure which seasons are at the higher portion of both hemispheres.

Iya, Selamat Aidilfitri buat semua Muslimin dan Muslimat! Harap-harap belum terlambat.
Apa-apapun saya akan cuba buat mercun dalam KSP.
Kalian beraya di mana tahun ini? Saya di Sungai Buaya dan Sungai Besar, Selangor. Tak jauh dari rumah di Selangor juga.

"It's been a loooong-" *Music stops* time,
Not on this forum,
'Cause I was busy with Eid as well as (tl:dr) C:S

A living room in an average scenario of late-morning during the first day of Eid Ul-Fitr. You see people watching an Eid Special drama series, eating, chatting, kids playing around and people forgiving each other.
You then realize it's still Ramadhan, but you're aboard the Syawal Hype Train.

Sorry for the very long waiting, but here they are :
Test Pilot Review: @qzgy's Kramer K-150-100 Baltimore
Figures as Tested:

- Cruising speed: 260 m/s, 936 km/h, Mach 0.75
- Cruising altitude: 3500m, 6 km
- Fuel burn rate: 0.08 kal/s
- Range: 2535 km, 1368.79 nmi
Review Notes:
Rumour by rumour, had it by had it, part by part, stages by stages, explosions by explosions, Kerbals by Kerbals, reverts by reverts and false names by false names. Finally I've (And Frontinco) been awarded the contract to review this so-called truly Slav'd plane. The Kramer Baltimore. Why Slav'd? because it seems to be based on a real-life, Soviet aircraft. Meet the Tupolev Tu-114 Rossiya.
Sidenote, medium regional jets are basically like Bombardier CRJs or Embraer ERJs, small regoinals are something like Bombardier Dash-8 or ATRs. Large ones are the one we knew; Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family.
Anyways we've applied the K-prefix on purpose since the model name doesn't seem right...
Introduction
All we read before, about the Baltimore, is mostly bad thoughts for its use as an airliner, but fun fact that the Tu-114 got almost the same problems.
With four turboprops rotating contra-rotating propellers and a single deck passenger cabin, yes, aviation enthusiasts can clearly say it's based on that Soviet-era plane.
Tupolev Tu-114 Rossiya
Kramer K-150-100 Baltimore
See the similarity?
That if one ignores the engine placement and the existence of the navigator (?)'s cockpit.
While the propeller mechanism is already complicated IRL, in-game, flying it is even more hairy.
Takeoff
The plane achieves V2min at 70 m/s, 10 m/s short of the limit, but still high. The plane also tends to dive with SAS off. That's also due to poor pitch response. But still, as you pull the yoke to the chest, it still speeds up, as long as you pull at 60 m/s.
The plane can take off from water as well, proving those rumors true. But with the combination of flaps and speeds above 100 m/s.
[Insert Recorder cover of the anthem]
Mid-Flight
A screenshot of the plane trying to level itself out. With MechJeb for life.
The plane tends to perform phugoid oscillations if using an autopilot, but less noticeable with SAS (Since it didn't maintain the plane's attitude and slowly lets a plane dive if one notices with other planes as well). This can only be prevented by disabling one of the Elevons, but that's not good when levelling out after a descent.
Even an elevator turn is slow enough. What about aileron banking then? (Well, don't get me wrong, I know aileron banking is slow AH in KSP)
Turning was a pain as well. The rather weak-but-useful yaw is seemingly only good for aligning up with the runway.
Quote"Aaaaaand he's gone Space Shuttle status"
SpoilerHe uses the phrase whenever a plane 'takes off' (Uses slew mode actually) vertically at high speeds). Like a space shuttle. But no SRBs and that big fat External Tank.
The plane can ascend quite vertically, but then stalls out.
"Engine #2, flameout" -Jebediah- "Sum Ting Wong" -Bill-
"Engine #1, #3, flameout" -Bill- "Three out. Mayday, mayday, mayday" -Jebediah-
"Wi Tu Low" -Bill-
"Ho Lee F**" -Jebediah- "AND BANG DING *Impact* OWWWW"
The aftermath.
After reverting. we've tried for the second time. This time, coincidentally, in between 180 - 185 m/s, which is the safe speed to do this 'Space Shuttle' maneuver, with a sideways gravity turn afterwards.
Yet another Space Shuttle status.
"Whenever your plane tips, level it out" -Me-
Here, I got the Wallpaper edition of this thing.
So Bill went into the passenger cabin, through a large space that could accommodate four toilets and a big galley when it supposed to be an emergency exit.
"Here we go again" -Bill-
"Ah"
"Much better"
"Almost there. If you move one seat back, you'll be fine to have your kids stare at the window. Or if you're half-deaf and/or your kid loves something literally wonderful such as the 'Contraprop', then have them at the front cabin", Bill said. Picture taken on ground.
The view from the inside is quite awful at the front of the plane until after the wing root. The back seats are, however, unobstructed.
Landing
"Ten-Kilo-Kilo-One-Five-Zero, is on final, runway Zero Niner"
"Ten-Kilo-Kilo-One-Five-Zero, going around. Wi Tu Low again"
The yawing sometimes even didn't act good enough for unprepared airstrips.
Approaching downwind of 09, turning from Crosswind Leg.
"We're too high, but seems safe. This thing has a high landing speed and descent rate! At below 60 however", Jebediah said in one of his literally last Air Traffic Control contact"
:oof:
The aftermath, yet again. Only the tail is left. Whoever got a parachute stuck on the tail got broken bones FTW.
And Jeb said the exact same thing I'd like to say. Pilots piloting the aircraft must fly at least 75m/s (270 km/h) or about 145 Knots (CRJ-700's is lower, at around 120 Knots IIRC from my FSX landings in the latter).
"We have new information now, also on the plane crash, KWVTV (Kerbinwide-vision Television) has just learned the name of the literally 'four' pilots who were onboard the flight, there are Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Low, Ho Lee F** and Bang Ding Ow. And the KTSA (Kerbin Transport Safety Administration) has confirmed, these are the names of the pilots onboard flight KSN-015 when it crashed, and we're working to determine whether in the cockpit there is actually two or four pilots"
Yep, we've crashed short of the runway.
We've also accidentally tested whether the plane can land on unprepared airstrips; in this case, a literally flat ground on Kerbin. Why accidental? Because the test pilots didn't realised they've ventured too far to the next land so they've tried landing it with no luck at the end. Yes. Crash.
And in one other landing, the plane landed nosegear-first, which is out of any protocol since planes are meant to flare nose-up before landingand not slamming the front wheel. Nonetheless, the plane survived it.
Taxiing
Part of the turning.
The plane can turn around without even touching the grass around the runway, which is good for smaller airports. However, smaller airports will also have slimmer runways, so...
Utility Tests
Unfortunately the plane didn't survive a 2-meter drop under Kerbin gravity. Which is bad news for passengers in case the pilots came from Ryanair.
Before the drop.
During impact.
Aftermath.
Hence, that's why the test pilots buttered every landing with this plane.

I think NF Aero has a vertical speed/hover control for their VTOL engines/lift fans. Is there any way to appropriate that or something similar?
The rotors have a option to toggle hover mode on or off so you can, well, hover. It's in the right-click Tweakables menu and you can toggle it inflight via an action group or just right-clicking it.
Or do you mean you'd like to have VTOL engines implemented into the mod?

3/10 Waiting for?
Anyways hopefully I'm not too late, my hypothetical Laythe base is at the equator, so both day & night is the same. As well as Iftar time compared to Indonesia.

1. Letting yourself as a MechJeb noob thst you left it do anything from launch to docking that you ran out of fuel to deorbit.
2. Forgot to launch a space station with a Kerbin return vehicle and left Jeb hopelessly chill at tye cupola of the station.
-
Yes. From your point-of-view.
A Malay proverb says "Sambil menyelam minum air (lit. Drinking a drink while diving)". Is the straw, cup and its lid watertight?
