Description
PBY-6A Catalina
Tip, don't pull up immediately after a ground takeoff, that is if you don't want to explode, along with only go max throttle for takeoff, level off around .75% throttle for cruise.

What is it? And what is it's history?

The "PB" Stands for Patrol Bomber, and the "Y" was the code assigned to the manufacturer, Consolidated Aircraft. The PBY started out as the XPBY-1 was the first prototype version of the Model 28 (Which was what all of the PBY series aircraft were modeled after, stopping at PBY-5A.) for the United States Navy, later on the PBY-1 Was the first Initial production variant. As time passed, other models such as the PBY-2/3/4 and PBY-5A, we finally get to the PBY-6A, which was still in use after World War 2, as operating vehicles such as fire bombers, recon aircraft, and public/private transportation.

How does it work?

The very first thing you want to turn on before operating this aircraft's engines, is the Radiators, which is located on the left panel from the Pilot Seat. Then on the Right panel of the Pilot Seat there are two Engine switches, turn them both on, your engines should be good, figure the rest out on your own.

What does it have?

The PBY-6A has a Radar installed above the cockpit, it can hold around 15 crew members.

Front Turret doesn't work due to space
Landing gear may get stuck due to speed or physic settings
Thank you

Game update probably broke it, like some other creations.

every time i load a save in this aircraft it spins around
CaptainHuggyFace 26 Dec, 2023 @ 2:52pm 
i think the water prop not being constantly on is the only problem
