Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress

I adapted this vehicle from my B307 stratoliner (although it was the other way around in real life). You can find the commercial version of this vehicle here

This is my version of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. It is a heavy bomber with 10 machine guns and about 30 small bombs. It was developed by Boeing and entered service in 1938. It was the 3rd most produced bomber in history with more than 12,000 build. It has 4 turbocharged radial engines producing 1,200 hp each.
The cruising speed is 245 KPH (293 irl), and the top speed is 308 KPH (462 irl)

Pretty easy to fly thanks to Ze airplane flight controller by uran_wind.

Also uses Ze modular engine controller

The cockpit is pretty intuitive, just make sure to turn on the avionics and the breaker before you do anything.

---

1. Turn on the main breaker in front of the throttle lever

2. Turn on the avionics switch on the main panel

3. Turn on the wheel brakes with the 1 key

4. Turn on the engines with their switches on the main panel

5. One the engines are idling at 4RPS and you are ready to take off, release the wheel brakes

6. Throttle up the engines and you can take off ( taxi speed is around 5-10%, runway take off is around 50%, and you can take off quickly at 100%).

7. Raise the landing gear once you are in the air

When cruising set the throttle to 75%, any higher and the engine temperatures can go too high and cause the overheat protection to automatically decrease their RPS

It's got good range and efficiency (6500L in each wing).

It is capable of flying on two engines at cruise throttle or even one of the inner engines at full throttle (not for extended periods of time due to overheat risk), although you probably won't need to do that it's some additional info

For some reason it doesn't work with infinite fuel turned on. I'm not sure why exactly, maybe something with the air/fuel ratio calculation gets upset or something. But it has a pretty good range so really you won't be needing it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Be careful when using the front left and right, and the rear machine guns. There are holes in the floor to make room for the handles and it's easy to fall out

Do not reload your save when the plane is moving faster than 70 KPH as this is the threshhold on the impact sensors and for some reason loading the game causes it to trigger. So don't save and reload while flying or your plane will explode

Enjoy and yell at me in the comments if I missed anything >.>
