Description
For version 1.2
It flies... Well it flies. Straight and pitch up and down is no problem, rolling and turning... yeah e-mail Fluppi about that. (Don't, I'm just sick of the sh*tty fluid dynamics for big planes).

My version of the iconic B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.
It's an approximation, definitely not a 1:1 replica.
Top speed is a bit high but the power is needed for turning.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down Arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right Arrow: Roll.
X/Disable Steering: Landing gear.
Hold X/ Reverse Steering: Open/Close bomb bay doors.
Num1/Fire Action 1: Drop bombs.
(Removed air-brakes since they were not a thing.)

Alt + PgUp-PgDn/Auxiliary (without Alt): Fire in engine one.
B/Beacon: Fire in engine two.
L/Headlights: Fire in engine three.
K/Hazard light: Fire in engine four.
I can't stop the engines since the plane won't fly with lopsided engines but you get a lot of smoke and some flames (as in orange smoke) for RP purposes.

W/A/S/D + Fire Action 1: Control machine guns from corresponding seat.
Camera 1: Bomb sight.
Camera 2: Front turret.
Camera 3: Ball turret. (Centre "blind" seat controls it.)
Camera4: Rear turret.

Notes!
Bombs are dropped with delays so it takes 3-4 seconds for all to release.
Do not land with ball turret pointing down!

It's set up to be used with Alt + Throttle (change it to whatever you want) and then set Input Channel on engine to 255.

Here's the one I'm using in all my planes. Feel free to use it. :)

You build a variable throttle from an actuator connected to the throttle key and a proximity sensor connected to the engine throttle.

hey, how do u make the throttle hold? in other planes the throttle just stops after you press it, but in this one it doesnt stop and keep holding. I really wanna know

For now its good work hard and keep it up.

I know this looks quite sh*te and I will build a new version some day, but right now I'm a bit lacking in motivation and energy for several different reasons including but not limited to the utterly broken aerodynamics in the game.
