Description
My take on the Grumman TBF Avenger / General Motors TBM Avenger torpedo bomber.
It's an approximation and definitely not a 1:1 replica.
It's a bit rough around the edges in places and some areas are what they are; take it or leave it I guess. :)

Top speed is too high but as always the extra motor strength is needed for turning without losing all speed.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
A/D: Ground steering and yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
Hold X/Invert steering: Bomb bay doors.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Forward machine guns.
Fire action 2/Num 2: Release torpedo.*
Fire action 8/Num8: Deploy landing hook.
Auxiliary/Page Up-Page Down: Fold wings.**

Turret uses Alt controls.
Up/Down arrow/Mouse: Aim up/Down.
Left/Right arrow/Mouse: Aim side to side.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire.

Rear Machine gun uses Alt controls from bomber's seat just in front of it.
Up/Down arrow/Mouse: Aim up/Down.
Left/Right arrow/Mouse: Aim side to side.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire.
Camera 1 for sight.

Camera 2: Bomber's sight.
Camera 3: Torpedo view.

*To launch torpedo go as low (<8 metres) and slow (200-300kph) as you dare and pull up ever so slightly, or it might explode on impact with the ground. The torpedo engine doesn't start until it's "in the water"/on the ground.

** The wings didn't actually fold like this but were rotated and then folded back along the fuselage, but sadly using double actuators (one to rotate and one to fold) makes the wings very floppy in the game and is not a viable solution, so this solution will have to do.

Feel free to edit, but if you re-upload please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

He has changed a lot of the code quite drastically in the different versions, physics models, key inputs etc so there are huge differences in how the vehicles will react in the different version sadly. I only use 1.1.2 so all my vehicles are tuned to work as well as I can make them work in the current version. Sorry I can't help you.

i have a question
why do planes not work correctly in experimental or legacy
Mean Green  [author] 15 May, 2022 @ 7:04am 
No they don't work in Legay or properly in the new beta, sorry.

it doesnt work in legacy sadly

Hopefully I fixed the possible shaking by avoiding the landing gear actuator to go into the wing as much.

when you find out these are the regular version of brick rigs and your pc is to laggy for 1.0 and you play on legacy :(

Please let me know it you are having trouble with severe shaking and I will remove the foldable wings.
