"The Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI was a four-engined German biplane strategic bomber of World War I, and the only Riesenflugzeug ("giant aircraft") design built in any quantity.[2]

The R.VI was the most numerous of the R-bombers built by Germany, and also among the earliest closed-cockpit military aircraft (the first being the Russian Sikorsky Ilya Muromets). The bomber was reputedly the largest wooden aircraft to be produced in any quantity during World War I, with only the Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII prototype bomber of 1918–1919 being larger, with the Staaken R.VI's wingspan of 42.2 m (138 ft) nearly equaling that of the World War II Boeing B-29 Superfortress, and somewhat less than the 48 m (157 ft) span of the Siemens-Schuckert R.VIII"

Three seats (Pilot and two gunners), two working gun turrets with two MGs each for defense and cameras

*The last couple of pics were taken before I added the wing rigging (x shapes)

Controls:

Turn on the engine with X (disable steering key) in altmode

Steering for roll

View Pitch for Pitch, Yaw for Yaw (use mouse or arrowkeys)

Middle mouse to drop bombs.

Turrets:

Altmode is just mouse control and mouse 1 to fire.


Bombs are now sequenced in dropping, so they drop over a longer distance and you can drop some rather than all at once
