WWI Sopwith Camel

Check also out my other bigger and faster WW1 biplane: The https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1127904572!

This plane is made as an improvement over my first variable thrust plane. this time with controllable yaw and crossbows. the crossbows fire (if the plane goes somewhat straight) through the propellers, which is pretty cool. it also has a pretty nice looking cockpit. However, while my first biplane has an extraordinary short take of distance, this one needs a few meter to gain enough speed.
blockcount: 188.

After the Sinai dogfight arena map, some of you might have noted that the sopwith used there is slightly different that the one here. that one uses a 2 prop engine that is just as fast, but doesnt require the use of flying blocks and is much more block efficient.
- different engine, same properties
- went from 202 to 188 blocks (14 blocks lost)
- same speed and handling

- changed the engine from a dual prop to a tri-propeller engine. this makes the plane faster, reduces take-off time and reduces stalling.
- added a cool night-flight skin with historically accurate tail wing colors*
- angled the bottom wing to make it look more like the real sopwith camel
- changed some controls (see controls for the new ones)
- all at the cost of only 2! blocks (was previously 200)

Controls

Toggle engine: [1]
Pitch up/down: [DOWN] / [UP]
Roll left/right: [LEFT] / [RIGHT]
Yaw left/right: [F] / [H]
increase/decrease speed: [LSHIFT] / [LCTRL] or [T] / [G]
fire crossbows: [C]
cameras (first - third): [2] / [3]

*I've added them to the required items, but I must note that they are absolutely not necessary, the plane is initially designed as skinless, and will therefore still look good without. luckily the selected skins are overall very popular so you probably already have them in your collection!
