Heinkel He 177 Greif 1.3 by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.3!
My take on theGerman long distance bomber Heinkel He 177 Greif (Griffin).

It's an approximation and in no way a 1:1 replica.

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.

It carries an updated more realistic payload of 12 250 kg 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/Invert steering: Bomb bay doors.
Fire action 1/Num 1 (pilot's seat): Drop bombs.*
L/Headlights: Fire in engine one.
K/Hazard light: Fire in engine two.

- 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.

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.

*Bombs are timed and it takes about 3 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!
