Yeah I just checked and the only one not updated is the original Night Bomber. Workshop is having one of those days again...
Glad you like it. >(

Yea, it shows me the right one :) Keep Up with building more aircraft like this!

No worries. Not sure what version of the plane the Workshop is showing right now since it once again refuses to push through updates, but the lastest version keeps the engine running at low revs but you have a take-off boost to get off the ground/water. If that has been actually updated...

Oh I get it, Thank you my friend :)

I have updated the plane with a fix so it can take off (read description) and keep the engine on on low revs but once again the Workshop is ridiculously slow with pushing through the update vehicle even though the description has changed. Hopefully it will happen within a few hours.

It's not a system that I like but it's the only way to make the plane able to actually take off with the weird water physics and broken aerodynamics.

The engine starts up again once your speed gets low enough.

As I write in the description:
To make the plane be able to take off from the water it needs an engine strong enough to pull it from the water with no help from aerodynamic lift (since there currently is none under 100 kph) and literally just brute force from the propellers. This makes the plane take off more like a rocket out of the water with almost no run-up needed, so be careful. This also makes the top speed 600+ kph which is ridiculous for a plane like this, so I had to add an engine cut-off at about 240 kph.
So it's working as it's supposed to.

Hey Mean, I have to let you know that there is a problem in this PO-2 build, sometime when I drop all of my bombs, my engine just quit's... like when you press the turn on/off button :/ Can you fix it please?

This one takes off from water! Landing however...
