Description
FOR VERSION 1.3!
My version of the Focke Wulf Fw 190 A-5/U14.

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

This is the torpedo bomber version and it's armed with 2 13 mm machine guns under the cowling, 2 synchronised 20 mm automatic cannons in the wing roots, 2 20 mm automatic cannons in the wings, and an LTF 5b torpedo.
Since the bigger gun I use for 20 mm cannons are so big I put all 4 in the nose and the machine guns in the wings (I use double machine guns to simulate the power of the 13 mm/.51 machine guns) so you get all the firepower just from different places.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
K/Hazard Light: Sight illumination.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns and cannons.
Fire action 2/Num 2: Torpedo. *

* To fire the torpedo fly low (under 10 meters) and slow (under 220 kph), nose up slightly (important since the torpedo is pointing down which makes sense IRL but not int the game) and release. It usually works. It burns for about 60 seconds and sefl destructs after 75 seconds. It's highle erratic on release and in the water and i tends to be very inaccurate but's it the best I can do I'm afraid.

NOTE!!!
For some reason having a symmetrical and centered torpedo attached to the plane makes it veer off quite extremely, usually to the left but not always, when taking off. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it but nope! So thank you Fluppi Physics (TM) for that "feature"!

I messed up a bit early in the build so the proportions are a bit off but once I discovered it I was already 15+ hours into the build so it'll have to do. :)

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

Have fun!

I'm glad you like my builds. This one I'm not super happy with since I mad an error early on and didn't catch it until I'd built too much to have the energy to redo it (the proportions are a bit off). But at least it flies and shoots and drops torpedoes reasonably well. :)

this guy never fails any of his creations. im impressed. all your creations goes for a 10/10.

I'll mainly be continuing to update my old planes to 1.3 the next couple of weeks but once that is done I'll get back to building some more new ones.

Thanks My2Scents, I'm glad you like my stuff. I just think most poeple are interested in cars, trucks, tanks and moderna planes, so my WW2 planes just have a smaller audience that is interested. But that's fine, I build these planes bc I wan to play with them. :)

I love it when you post! It amazes me that your not extremely popular, you definitely should be!!!!!

Oh jb asked you a question about the variants, check it out and let me know.
Mean Green  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 3:40pm 
Hehe maybe. :)

Maybe when ''Modding support'' comes (It got pushed back again) maybe we will see a person make better ''Physics.''

Trying to update this to 1.3 nearly broke me and I was very close to chucking my PC out the window and following after it myself. Right now I'm so sick of the weird unpredictable inconsistent physics in the game, a system in which two identical planes behave radically differently even thoug they are literal clones of each other, and one torpedo does not work at all, but THE EXACT SAME TORPEDO FROM ANOTHER PLANE DOES!
I managed to get it working ok-ish bith the flight characteristics of the plane and the behaviour of the torpredo, but as always in this game, especially regarding the torpedo, working ok-ish mean working as intended 60-70 % of the time and the rest of the time it just goes insane in one way or another.
