Auto Credit Based on LonelySpaceGuy's PAL B777 Steerable

Boeing 777-300ER scale-looking widebody airliner with Interior and transparent cabin windows in Philippine Airlines (PAL) livery.

Re-upload with fully ground-steerable version of my B777 for gate to runway taxiing. Control surfaces are VERY SENSITIVE in flight. Use the control sticks mildly.

    @LonelySpaceGuy
    I'm not familiar with scaling consequences. but I follow simple rules when it comes to planes in the following order of importance:
    1. Self stability factor: CG slightly lower and in front of center of lift.
    2. Start simple and keep it simple unless complications are necessary for necessary functions (I saw dozens of lift vectors when i clicked show).
    3. I avoid tinker options as solutions because it usually leads to a problem that we can't find its source easily (like steering problem).

    I downloaded the previous one, it flies nice but yes no steering :)
    in general, it's a good machine, I've never built something that big (in part numbers)

    @crowxe oh thank you. The original versions of this plane flies very "stiff" and could not even steer on ground (you can look it up on my profile) - this stiffness during flight made me modify the control surface terribly (increased the scale). Only recently that I figured out how to solve the ground steering issue and when I did it subsequently made the plane become overly sensitive/controllable on flight due to the aforementioned scaling up of surface which I ended up not changing anymore.

    It look beautiful, I love the door mechanism too but it needs some calibration to fly smoothly, I had to pitch down to keep it from gaining altitude, also i feel it's a bit edgy, I can't explain in a simple way
