Description
Zhukovsky's КОМТА Prototype (1:1 Scale)

After WW1, Russian heavy bomber Sikorsky Ilya Muromets, developed back in 1913, became obsolete for military requirements. In 1921 КОМТА (Commission for Heavy Aircraft) developed a successor heavy bomber. High drag triplane wings and underperforming Fiat A.12 engines didn't provide enough power for the KOMTA. It could only reach 130 km/h top speed at 600 m altitude, while its predecessor Ilya Muromets had the same speed at 2800-4000m altitude. It was also the first aircraft built in USSR.

I converted it to civilian transport, reconnaissance and firefighter airplane for Stormworks.


DESCRIPTION & FEATURES
KOMTA is easy to takeoff, fly and land triplane capable of transporting 12 people including pilot. It can refill its water tanks by flying very low over water. It has camera for reconnaissance, bed and functional sink. It also have parachutes and arctic gear, heater and a couple interesting features such as hand cranking engine starter.


PILOT'S MANUAL
1. Left & Right Magnetos ON
2. Left & Right Fuel Pumps ON
3. Parking Brake ON
4. Throttle to 20-25%
5. Open side hatches and crank start both engines
6. Back in to pilot's seat, turn OFF Parking Brake
7. Takeoff

Cigarrette_Man,
A game update in the past broke that. Try to fix it by yourself if it is fixable, because currently I have no time to fix.

Fly over water and press "fly close to water" hotkey. Then extend the hose and start the pump to fill the water tanks.

yeah i found out the hard way, haha

@ChocoHalk,
Flying close to water is dangerous and I'd not advise leaving it ON before going bed. There's a lever on the pilot's left to adjust how close you want to fly above water.

i love this plane but when i put on fly close to water and i went in the bed the thing plummeted into the water and i just charged the battery, its still a really good plane and i really like it
