how do i get this thing turned and on the runway

Cannot Taxi the plane for the life of me

finally made it in the air
the second i played with pitch it lost its engines and plummited to the ground
couldnt damn save it
broken

and i started all engines

intresting but probably the worst bomber to start up.
the startup takes incredibly long
automatic shooting, recoil to powerful and shifts me
one damn engine started when i went full throttle and of course, my line up was ruined.

broken

hi i love ur bombers can u make more?

the only bad thing about this plane is that the turrets automaticly shoot at the enemy but the wing or the tail might get in the way damaging urself

Nose left hatch look for button, & tail rear right, same as in real life.

how to enter the plane bro

MATTEL ELECTRONICS PRESENTS: B-17 BAWMBER!

I've not had any issues and this is my go to bomber. I just don't know what the map table in the nose is for.

Where is the booster?

Could it be the wind? Can anyone please confirm if they also are having issues on startup, I've tested with no problems but need a second verification, thanks in advance

HE HAS MADE THE HOLY GRAIL OF BOMBERS!

omg LISTEN UR B17 IS BROKEN I DID WHAT U SAID AND IT BLEW UP

All 4 fuel pumps on and all 4 engines running use arrows to turn tail wheel not a&d, parking brake off... Are all engines the same power /rps? Let me know how you go and I'll review.

hey whenever i start my engines all that happens is i spin in a circle and then crash. cant't even get to the runway

Whats the lower map table for and how does it work?

Another great build but some things need fixing:
Some buttons and dials missing labels.

One suggestion is adding a medium water tank and using that for the fire suppression system as the current one doesn't have enough water to put out an engine fire

Still overheats a bit and its a fine line between cooling and not stalling

Not sure the reason for the hoses but switch it to pipes for increased performance. It's a shame that we don't have an oxygen system in game because that would be awesome.

The GPS AP is sometimes wonky, Maybe have the alt hold and GPS Ap on seperate systems

There are several other things but better to show you.

Its a stable ship, drops warheads on foreheads perfectly everytime and in a multiplayer setting it works excellent in defending against attacking fighters.

:D

Ok it had some issues with Air fuel ratio's and default start up just updated this to rev 2, just some basics. remember that the throttle is hidden by characters arm and is also controlled by up down keys. It will run hot after take off so increase prop pitch to keep heat down. leme know how it goes

i managed to keep her airborn at a 20mph headwind. tho anything les id still have trouble keeping her airborne. however if i enable auropilot with the manual input for alt itll stay that level

Hmmm maybe the weather? Haven't had any other complaints, I'll look into it.

dunno if this is just me but the elevators dont work and she will climb but then shell start to fall again because i cant pull the elevators up far enough

where do i spawn it
every time i do it just spins

sure why not! There aren't so many crafts like this, With your skills it will be a blast!

Hmmm quite a piece of art. The fortress is massive, it wouldn't fit in a hanger, the fighter craft maybe?

I have one wild suggestion...

I'm quite sure there is a fire suppression system on my Bombers to feather and use the radiator water to put out an engine fire, as jumping out in flight wasn't to real to repair an engine... But hey it is a game so made it possible . As the radiator water is hot, it would still put out a fire and subsequently leave the engine with no coolant as a penalty it will overheat if repaired, a decision the pilot must make. Glad you enjoy it. One of the most iconic aircraft of all time. Will do another soon, due to popularity. Any suggestions, I'm open.👍

Hold to start feels better tho!
I just look at it from singleplayer repair mid-flight perspective

It does! these are really just minor irritations compared to the whole build!
Also an idea.
Is too add some sort of timed or automatic engine starter like on your B25.
when one of your engines is damaged, it won't work obviously, so you have to get out, repair it, get back into the cockpit and turn it on manually. The whole process can take alot of time and sometimes lead to unfortunate consequences. But with this feature you just can just press a button, repair it, and it would start automaticaly!

Yes auto bomb is finicky agreed. No deliberately no right wing exit, but can jump over the body from the left wing.
Could do with better bombs, and pilot seat exits you forward mostl, she's been a good girl mostly as many projects since this one I've tried to improve on some of the base issues, try the B25 for instance. I hope the overall experience out weighs the negatives.

there appears to be no entrance on the right wing
(also I'm really new to the game)

-also automatic bombing system works poorly
-and getting out of cockpit can be sometimes hard
(note, It's only my opinion and my expirience

I feel like it's just perfect the way it is, so it would be nice to make a separate save with a revamped version and leave this as legacy.
Now, changes:
-Maybe increase a bomb load
-Redo the cage in bomb bay (sometimes it's really hard to get through it)
-Add more C4
(I'll make a few runs on the plane again to see if something is going to catch my eye)

I hope it helped, may revamp this beast soon any requests?

Thank you! From the bottom of my heart!

Tip on takeoff lower prop pitch to below 0.1 ish gives to higher rpm =more power but hotter running temp

This bomber is the GOAT of solo gaming. working automatic defense system, bombing system, autopilot. Tried to fight is with Your stuka, got smoked. 10/10
Taking off can be a bit frustrating tho. Artic runway is way longer and open, therefore easier to take off, but other airports are almost impossible without touching anything unwanted during takeoff.

know what take my points too you deserve it

Cheers RIS, your welcome!

Awesome job! It looks so damn incredible! Take my award, you deserve it!!

yep

Yip your right on the mony I'd call it an early G 👍 chin turret.

yo this looks to be a b-17G if i am correct could you clarify it

Ugh I wish! They target inside 400m so they can do some damage, tip... Take off set autopilot as it will loiter, then jump into a bf109 or a fw190 and see how it goes... Make sure turrets are armed.

do the turrets compensate

REPAIRED - Engines should now function correctly & startup added to description.

Space DLC gave the engines some issues, with gasses cooling and pumps. I will revise, as hopefully the devs were sorting. Hopefully they just need a relief valve.
