Heinkel He 177 Greif 1.2 by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.2!
It's now fully made of oak and some aluminium instead of mainly foam, some oak and some aluminium. It flies decently enough, but rolling is of course an issue.
I also remade the 20mm gun barrels.

My take on theGerman long distance bomber Heinkel 177 Greif (Griffin).
It's an approximation and in no way a 1:1 replica.
I wanted to differentiate the front and aft auto-cannons from the regular machine guns so used the bigger gun. Sadly they take a lot of space in an already small fuselage, so the auto-cannons are a bit wonky clipping through other parts but they work reasonably well. The front facing machine gun in the canopy I moved to the side to get it to work better without clipping issues. The seating arrangement is also a bit off in some instances since Bob is a big not so bendy boy, but it has a crew of six.

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/Invert steering: Bomb bay doors.
Fire action 1/Num 1 (pilot's seat): Drop bombs.*

NEW!
L/Headlights: Fire in engine one.
K/Hazard light: Fire in engine two.
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.

Front machine gun: controlled from Navigator's seat next to the pilot with Alt+arrow keys or Alt+mouse. Camera 1.
Front auto-cannon in gondola: Controlled from seat in gondola with Alt+arrow keys or Alt+mouse. Fire with Fire action 1/Num 1. Camera 2.
Rear facing machine gun in gondola: Controlled from seat in gondola with Alt+arrow keys or Alt+mouse. Fire with Fire action 2/Num 2. Camera 3.
Remote controlled top twin machinge guns: Controlled from the seat under the cupola with Alt+arrow keys or Alt+mouse. Fire with Fire action 1/Num 1. Camera 4.
Top aft machine gun: Controlled from seat in turret with Alt+arrow keys or Alt+mouse. Fire with Fire action 1/Num 1.
Rear auto-cannon: Controlled from rear seat with Alt+arrow keys or Alt+mouse. Fire with Fire action 1/Num 1. Camera 5.

*Bombs are timed and it takes about 4 seconds to drop all. A green button will light up while they are dropping, and a green light will light up in cockpit when they've all been dropped and it's safe to close the bomb bay doors.

Feel free to edit as you choose, but if you re-upoad it please acknowledge the original creation and creator!
