Description
FOR VERSION 1.2!
It's now fully made of oak and some aluminium instead of mainly foam, some oak and some aluminium and it flies pretty well albeit a little like an RC-plane.

My version of the iconic Junkers Ju-87 Stuka (Sturzkampfflugzeug/"dive bomber").

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This is the Kanonenvogel/"cannon bird" tank buster version which exchanged bombs for two 37 mm cannons in pods under the wings. It had extremely limited ammunition with only 12 rounds per gun so I made the rate of fire rather slow and it fires onlyup to a four round burst to simulate the low ammuniton capacity somewhat.

It's armed with two fixed forward machine guns, one rear machine gun controlled by the radio operator, and two 37 mm cannons under the wings.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
A/D: Ground steering/yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Air brakes.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns.
Fire action 2/Num 2: 37 mm cannons.
N/Siren: Siren. Sadly there is no good sound for the iconic Stuka siren (using the "closest" thing) so added this mostly as a joke.

Camera 1: Cockpit floor bomb sight window.

Rear machine gun uses Alt controls.
Arrow keys/Mouse: Control.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire.

Feel free to edit in any way you like, but if you re-upload publicly please acknowledge the original creation and the creator.

Have fun!

Dive bomber version uploaded. I actually managed to get it to work pretty ok in the end (but had to reconfigure it completely compared to this version), the bomb cradle mechanism has also been improved and the main bomb upgraded to 500 kg.

I might have managed to get the dive bomber version working. Will test properly tomorrow but 5am here now so night night. :D

Thanks :)

Seems like in Brick Rigs this Stuka can only fly if it has 350kg of cannons under its wings, without them it's a complete mess, with OR without bombs. 🙄

TBH I'm not hopeful though. This game is severly f*ed when it comes to aerodynamics, it's so broken it's not even funny.

Not sure when or even if I can get the actual dive bomber version to work. There is just too much "dynamic"/"random" stuff going on with lift and drag and weight and how they all affect each other in seemingly exponential ways. It's a mess and a half to say the least. Will keep working on it so fingers crossed.
