AIRBUS A330-900NEO BY KARTOFFELKUCHEN

OVERVIEW

This mod adds the Airbus A330-900 Neo into the game. Included are 3 liveries which can be chosen via the right-click part menu: White (default), Black, Airbus. You can adapt the body, the vertical stabilizer and the wing (left & right). You will find a (currently non-interactive) modelled 3D cockpit as well as a portion of the cabin. To reduce performance impact, the maximum passenger load has been set to 30 (+2 pilots). 
The plane has an operational range of about 2100km when fully fueled (default) or fuel for about 3h at a cruising altitude of 3500-4500m at a speed of 220m/s. Usual Takeoff speed is at 80m/s, landing speed is about 120-110m/s (fully fueled).
You will also find custom sounds for the Trent 7000 engine as well as gear deploy & retraction sounds.

The plane has been configured for a stock game installation with flight characteristics based on a comparable stock-part aircraft. 


INSTALLATION

Copy contents of the "GameData" folder into your "KSPmain/GameData" folder
Copy the craft file from "Ships/SPH" into your "KSPmain/Ships/SPH" folder


KNOWN ISSUES

- Too hard landings can break a wing off, so be careful.
- Sometimes, after timewarping, the gears clip inside the fuselage a tiny bit. To fix this, enable "unbreakable joints" cheat, then go to "set position" cheat and set the height to 15m and keep "ease in" enabled to make the plane slowly sink to the ground. Afterwards, you can disable all cheats again.
- Flaps don't have an impact on aircraft performance, only visual
