Ju-52/3m SE-ADR Aerotransport by Uncle T

My take on the Junkers Ju-52/3m nicknamed Tante Ju - "Aunt Ju" by the Germans.

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

The Junkers Ju-52 transport aircraft was designed in the early 1930's and was used as a civilian passenger and transport plane, in the Spanish civil war by the nationalists, and by the Germans all through WW2 for passenger/troop/staff/cargo transport, as an air ambulance, and for transporting paratroopers to their drop areas.
Between 1939 and 1944, 2,804 Ju-52s were delivered to the Luftwaffe, and although the design was outdated already at the beginning of the war the production of Ju-52s continued until around the summer of 1944.
Various Junkers Ju-52s continued in military and civilian use following World War II.

This civilian floatplane version SE-ADR carries 11 passengers in relative comfort for the ABA, Aktiebolaget Aerotransport based in Stockholm, Sweden. The plane was built in 1932 with serial 4017, and was earlier registered as SE-ADK. It's cockpit section is preserved in the Arlanda Aerospace Museum. The company existed between 1924 and 1948 when it was merged into SAS.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrows: Pitch.
Left/Down arrows: Roll.
B/Beacon: Water take-off boosters. *

Front and back door opened with buttons on doors.

* The severe drag of the water makes it impossible to impossible to take off with just the regular engines and propellers.
So to start from the water surface follow these steps:
- Start engines and rev up to max revs.
- As soon as the plane starts moving press B to engage boosters to gain more speed and to counter the downward force of the dragging floats.
- Maximum pitch up.
- As soon as you take off turn off boosters since they burn through fuel very quickly at 1000%.
- You can actually take off without the propellers but it breaks the immersion a bit. :)

Landing on water is... possible at low speeds but the plane will often flip over on its nose and then maybe slowly fall back to its correct position again.
