EDITED!
Before the actuators where updated in 1.6(?) to make them less "floaty" this plane had minor issues with clipping actuators in the complex landing gear making the plane go bananas. This was usually easily fixed by a respawn or by operating the landing gear, but after the update to actuators they just freak out every time so I have had to completely rebuild and simplify the landing gear.
If you don't get the updated version try to unsub and resub, this forces Steam to DL the file again locally.

Apparently they first tried with 10 .30 cal machine guns using WW2 and Korean war ammo stocks but they were prone to jamming and produced to much smoke and gas and 10 of them still didn't provide the same amount of bullets 3 miniguns did so they switched as quickly as they managed to get new guns delivered.

Added a counterweight to starboard side to counter the weight of the guns and tweaked the ailerons to reduce the risk of the plane freaking out when turning shaeply at speeds below 235 kph. It seems to help a bit but make sure to keep speed over at least 220kph in your turn or the freaking out/going bananas can still happen.

Haha well the Spooky is from the mid 60's even, but the plane itself is a WW2 plane so it doesn't quite count. Just adding a few guns to an existing WW2 plane is a far cry from building planes form the 50's and onwards from scratch so I'm still going to be focusing on WW2. Sorry ;)

looks like we have entered the early 1950s

NOTE! Be careful with turning too tightly for too long. If speed goes below 230 kph while in a tight turn the plane just starts freaking out and starts flopping around like a fish on dry land and it's often impossible to recover - the plane just starts going off in all directions with no logic to it. I'm guessing the "dynamic aerodynamics" is playing us a prank yet again. You have been warned! :/
