[PF] B-168 Skycastle

Link to Project Discord: https://discord.gg/pBA6x6jhpC



The B168 Skycastle was designed in 1940 as a need to replace the aging B110 twin engine bomber.
It took until mid 1941 for a design to be chosen and the final result took shape. They were first used in bombing runs on Japanese Airfields in Alaska. They were common sight as the war continued through the mid 40 and only replaced in 1947 as plane technology had completely outpaced the Skycastle´s abilities and any further use would have made them just suicide missions. They did see continued use in the Australian and Canadian Airforce as anti submarine planes and weather surveillance flights.

18. Then Disable all superchargers
    
19. remove breaks and throttle to 100%
    
20. the plane will start moving and catching air, wait until you reached about 200 kph until takeoff, when in the air reduce flaps gradually until you can fold them in entirely
    
21. Move Landing Gear in

DO NOT FLY UPSIDE DOWN
Fueltanks are not self sealing and once hit can quite quickly release fuel
Rear gun is known to get stuck

How to enable the map:
Look on the ingame map and set a waypoint on your EXACT location, then put the coordinates in the keyboard “coordinate placeholder”
Out of there you copy paste the individual X and Y coordinates into the small keypad and save them through the instrument buttons.
You then select a waypoint on your destination and repeat the process but this time save them as the target coordinates.

You can then enable map movement

This cannot be done mid-flight

The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.
