C-119 / Cabbie
This is a plane loosely based on Cabbie from the Planes movie, who was loosely based on a C-119 Flying Boxcar. Hence it is not exactly much like either. It’s basically 300 XML wedges flying in formation, please don’t @me lol. I’m not happy with a lot of details on the plane, there’s a lot I want to re-do but at this stage I have to call it finished because I don’t have the time to do anything else on it.
I tried to make the cockpit layout functionally similar to how I imagine a more modern version of the real thing would look, while acceding a lot of realism for ease of use and simplicity.
Max speed: 230 kts (1.8 hours, 700 km range)
Eco Cruise: 140 kts (~7 hours, 1800ish KM range)
Start up procedure checklist:

8) Engine RPS to 50%, or just whatever you want and firewall the master prop pitch
9) Pull up whenever

I hope you guys like it, and have fun flying it under bridges (it fits, I promise). Any questions just ask, and feel free to do whatever with it, IDC about credit or whatever.
The altitude hold will hold your current altitude if nothing is input in the number pad. Everything else should be pretty self explanatory.
