Description
For version 1.3
My version of the iconic B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.
It's an approximation, definitely not a 1:1 replica. This is quite an early build of mine so yes I'm aware of the many rough spots. :)

It now carries a more realistic payload of 16 500 lb bombs.

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.

Alt + PgUp-PgDn/Auxiliary: 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 2-3 seconds for all to release. A green light in the cockpit indicates when they have all been released.
Also since this is BR things released by detonators do not always just fall straight down and sometimes the momentum imbued by the detonator makes the bomb fly any which way and they occasionally get stuck in the wall. There's nothing I can do about that since it's sadly a "feature" of the game.

Do not land with ball turret pointing down!

Have fun!

The Pe-2 is on my list and one of the 3 or 4 planes I'm choosing between to build next, so it's coming. I'll focus on getting the rest of my planes fixed for 1.3 first though which will likely take another week or two.

can you make the Petlyakov Pe-2/Pe-8?

The Douglas B-18 or the Saab B-18? :D
I can add the Douglas B-18 to the list but I have over 50 planes on there already so there's no telling when I'll get around to it.
