Description
For version 1.3!

My take on the iconic De Havilland Mosquito.

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

Flight characteristics updated to work better in 1.3. Speed loss when using control surfaces is sadly still huge and can/will apparently not be fixed so watch your speed when turning/manoeuvring.

Rear wheel can now be retractable as it should be without causing ground spinning.

This is the "Tsetse" version designed to hunt German submarines and it's main armament is a 6pdr/57mm fully automatic anti-tank gun under the nose. The 4 machineguns were used for self defense and for aiming the main gun.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brakes.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
Fire action/Num 1: Machineguns.
Fire action 2/Num 2: 6 pdr automatic cannon. **
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.

* I'm not happy with a couple of areas of the plane, especially the transition from nose to cockpit, but this is what I have the skill, energy and patience to deliver right now. So...

** The 6 pdr cannon only carried 25 rounds so it's reduced to max 4 round bursts to somewhat simulate this.

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

Have fun!

So the Workshop works about as well as the in-game physics for me right now and is refusing to publish my updated vehicles even though it claims it does and changes dates, text pics etc but NOT the vehicle itself. I've updated all my Mosquitos to repsond a bit more realistically to the stick but one again the changes just won't go through. Did Flupppi program the Workshop to be FPS dependent too somehow?!?!

Since I messed up my version 1.2 Mosquitos* to only be spawnable in 1.3 I might as well release them officially as 1.3.

* I may have "clean" version 1.2 versions at home locally on my PC (on the road and on my laptop ATM) so hopefully I can restore the 1.2 versions next week.
