v2 version: - TAXI MODE issue resolved.
************** YKS-7 ****************
The script of YKS was designed to make it as realistic as possible while taking into account the restrictions imposed by SL (space limited , non- analog controls , etc ...) .
Textures are modifiable, create your own YKS-7 !!
Optimised for less than 2.20 meters high avatars.
The pack includes:
- 1 YKS -7
- 1 YKS -7 not scripted
- 1HUD to wear from the inventory
- 1 HUD assistance changing textures
- 1 fuel pump (animated with the plane)
- 1 air pump
- 1 oil pump
- 2 barrels of oil
- 1 engine test bench
This aircraft and its accessories have been fully constructed by bunnys Fride. No copying or piracy of 3D object is used in their manufacture. Like all =TBM= products, they were made from drawings , photos , videos and other documents for bringing more realism possible , within the constraints of their use in SL .
=====FEATURES:=====
- Realistic flight
- Modifiable (parts & textures)
- Fuel system
- HUD (instruments + camera system + control buttons)
- Animated pilot (when sitting & unsitting)
- HUD textures (to apply your texture easily)
- Orders by "chat"
- Accessories
=====THROTTLE=====
Use the PgUp or PgDown keys on your keyboard to adjust your speed :
- Brake : The brake is engaged
- Taxi : minimum speed to move the airplane . The turning radius is very short for precise maneuvers.
- 10% to 100% of engine power
The control keys can be used step by step or maintained.
=====TAKEOFF=====
Hold down throttle's key to 100% power .
The minimum take-off power is 70%.
The minimum distance to takeoff is 48 meters to add some realism .
Reduce the throttle after takeoff , especially when crossing sims to reduce the effect of "lag" .
=====LANDING=====
Reduce power to 40% to start your approach.
Reduce to 30% for the descent and adjust your path.
The motor speed depends on your landing approach speed . Reduce to 20% from time to time if necessary.
Reduce to 20 % before hitting the ground and pitch so that the plane has nose slightly in the air.
Drive at 10% , go by taxi mode when you are close to your destination.
Brake to stop the plane.
As in RL , this aircraft should not sting to land. Always horizontal and slightly nose before touching the ground.
=====BEHAVIOR IN FLIGHT=====
The dihedral wings of YKS ( V-shaped very flared ) requires the aircraft to put in neutral position ( wings level ) when you release the aileron . The script of this model SL respects this RL reaction according to the speed. More aircraft is slower, more the neutral return will be fast. Beyond 50% of engine power this reaction is canceled, it will allow you to possibly some acrobatics. The trajectory will be more tense.
=====CAMERAS=====
HUD offers four modes of different views .
- 1 normal view. The camera is positioned behind the aircraft
- 1 rear adjustable view. It is possible to zoom in / out and switch to mouselook
- One panoramic view. The camera continues the aircraft with a little delay which sometimes allows you to do the trick. Can zoom and unzoom
- 1 Remote Control view . The camera freezes and focus on your plane as if you flied away . It is possible to position the camera before choosing this view ( AltGr key on the keyboard )
=====FUEL=====
The "fuel " button on the HUD controls the activation of the system of consumption. When lit the tank level down faster or slower depending on engine speed. When the tank is empty the engine stops and the plane descends gliding .
A control by local chat can be used to remove a certain amount of fuel from the tank to reduce the autonomy.
-When the button"fuel " is turned off, the tank is always full .
=====HUD FOR TEXTURES=====
We offer free download of the original textures containing maps , the clipping paths and shadows of each part of the aircraft. So you can create your own textures and import them into SL.
The HUD allows you to quickly find the textured parts of the aircraft and allows especially to retexturize your aircraft without need to use the editor. This saves you the tedious search for parts with multiple textures or when multiple rooms using a single texture. There are more than 50 surface texturing on the aircraft. This HUD will place the textures in the right place for you.
- Wear the HUD or place it on the ground and expand it .
- Place a YKS on the ground
1 click on each text line on the HUD gives during 3 seconds a light blue color on the corresponding part of the YKS .
To change a texture on the aircraft drag a texture from your inventory to the HUD, on the text line of the part you want to edit.

Ver el artículo en Second Life Ver vídeo »An incredible airplane by the quality, refined details and an immersive flight.
I am passionate about aviation, but my preference are the helicopters. About airplanes, I prefer the small, powered by propellers and that has a certain historical charm. Definitely, I do not like the noisy jets and large modern aircrafts. I believe that aviation in Second Life is made of small aircrafts flying at low altitude and speed to enjoy the scenery.
This beautiful airplane surprised me! Starting with the amazing quality of the textures and the delicate finish and careful of the pilot animations. Yes, I apreciate a lot the quality of the design in Second Life, because it is my real life profession. The HUD used to apply custom textures is very practical and greatly simplifies the work to customize your airplane. I have to say again: the textures of the YKS-7 are very, very refined and well finished. Congratulation to the designer.
The TBM YKS-7 is also quite responsive, presents surrounding sounds and has an efficient and very elegant HUD. The immersion is total. When you take off, you lose your breath. Tip: when flying, use the camera in panoramic view mode and surprise yourself with beautiful aerial shots.
This small airplane is very faithful to the real model and has a special charm that will appeal to everyone who like to spend hours and hours flying without worries. The package also brings numerous accessories and items to make your aviation environment.
I know there are many, many airplanes in Second Life, for all tastes, sizes, pockets and objectives. But if you enjoy flying as in good times, this aircraft is for you, because it is historically accurate, has a professional design and a honest flight script that works fine. It does what you expect about a vintage small airplane.
What can I say more? Buy and go be happy.
Love at First Flight
First flight from SLTG to SLHN was flawless. This plane is a Sim crossing CHAMP! I did notice the gap between the fuselage and the cabin, but I can live with that no problem!
Amazing plane
This is by far one the best looking planes I have seen in sl. it's amazing how good it looks.
Very Nice!
Great flight model, cool animations, perfect refueling system, realystic interior. Thanks for a great job!
Pretty, but has some issues
The plane is gorgeous and deserving of 5 starts, but you almost -have- to take off from a prim runway. For some reason, taking off from plain ground causes it to not register you are in the air, so you get stuck in "taxi mode" so you cant use the ailerons. It seems to work fine if you take off from a prim or other object-based surface. So if you buy this, make sure you have a runway to take off from. Just a flat parcel of land seems to bug it out. (even just an invisible prim over the ground will do the trick I'm sure)
very smooth and nice
this plane is well worth the buy and price its very well scripted sounds good and sim crossing dont affect it at all it crosses sim borders like theres none there well done plane the interior is beautiful
