wheres the long sunderland

this is so cool

nvm, i didnt realize it was automatic

I might just be blind, but i cant seem to find a button to unfold the wings

was very happy to see the museum pic at the end, went there this year and you dont quite understand how giant this aircraft is until you realise you're about as tall as one landing gear

and im subed

its not in the workbench

i cant spawn it

Cut the fuel pump off and feather the props, it takes a while to spool down as the last of the gas after the pump goes through the engines. No infinite gas or power on all my builds. Hope you enjoy

it can't turn off engines and taxi issues? dose it require no inf electric and inf fuel?

Resolved, hose connector on the pylons. If your flying it till it runs out of gas, then fair enough.

how do i refuel the fuel tanks, i dont see a port for it anywhere

Not wrong, catalina is awesome, seen it flying. Maybe on the books

Thank you for making this! Now to find an rnzaf Catalina too!

LESS GOOO

Thank, there was a leak in the tank... Resolved 👍

unable to fill water tanks

Power on, fuel pumps on, hold each starter 3 seconds, throttle up, your off. 👍

how to start

I've got a replica of the the Mark 24 FIDO which was the first airborne homing torpedo. I've been meaning to post it on the workshop. Its the smallest homing torpedo I could make and is as true to size as the original and will hit submerged targets with 90% success rate.

If i can get a 1x1 torpedo that somehow tracks, It'll eat you sub for subway, it may have bombs but it used depth charges regularly, Yeah gota fix that back turret, thought it was clamped.

Finally a good recreation of one of my favourite planes of all time.
HELL YEAH!

Rear turret should be clamped to avoid glitching within itself and rendering it useless. great built however

They can never take out my U-boat! I use my 20mm on it and its crew begs for mercy.

why do people keep calling this a "plane". its actually a flying boat, you can tell by the title.

I was building a similar plane but yours is way nicer and everything I wanted! Well done!

this plane near 1940-1946 drop deepth charges above u boat to destroy him when he is underwater or surfaced. nice bulid

for shall they not grow old

wait... not being a hater but isn't a flying boat a plane... its good tho i subed

I'll take a look. I sent you a friend invite

Fixed a few more issues, and she is what she is.

what a weird boat

Much better. However you missed several dials in the lower decks, the engine cutoff issue is still there. tether the engine cutoff to the pumps. there needs to be an idle setting for the throttle at zero not a shutdown.

The main battery switch in the cockpit is still inoperable.

The aux Generator is still unable to overcome the battery drain issue. Maybe have a breaker wall or something to isolate areas.

I know I'm being critical but Its the little things that make a good build great :)

YES this is my favourite plane of all time thank you!!!!!!

I've been working on a Mk. 24 mine which was a WWII acoustic homing torpedo. Also the Mk.13 aerial torpedo by bubblehead blake is one of the best. I use it for my Grumman avenger.

P.S. waiting for a PBM Mariner ;)

If anyone knows of a 1x1 guided or homing Torpedo method, please let me know this beast really needs one!

Updated Generator & some dials rope anchors etc..., and added a recovery probe to the large winch (Was WIP on a ROV for the winch with a video feed , but controls were finicky) let me know if the ROV has more interest than the recovery probe. if steering in the water, use the rudder & main throttle as water motors on pontoons work under 5m altitude instead of active engines as also prop pitch will adjust to decrease power to the turning side automagicly if props are running.
Thanks for the feed back Flackhappy well detailed, hope everyone enjoys.

I will Rectify

Several observations I have found:

*an inoperable winch
* several dials and indicator lights are unlabeled with needs to be addressed.
* The electrical distribution room needs clear instruction, Like add a paint block with instructions on it because I have no idea what's going on in there
* The small engine needs the intake vented to the outside or it will suck all the air out of the compartment. Same goes for the bilge pump,
*Make the reverse pitch a button or switch.
*Add bilge pumps to each compartment since you have the doors set to close automatically.
* the main power switch in the cockpit doesn't work. You need to make a true power shutoff to prevent battery drain. I have no idea what is draining the batteries so fast but it needs to be addressed
*Revamp the aux generator as it doesn't have the power to charge due to the voltage drain.
*Have the engines turn off via the switch rather than the throttle. it makes it more user friendly and allows more control during taxiing

Rope anchors need to be added so you can tie up to a dock. See attached picture

You've got a great build, you just need to add some small fixes

i wonder what will happen if i make it stormy

its kind of hard to takeoff from water but its still good

ive been looking for one of these planes thank you for making it

Cheers, it's alot of fun takes off on a dime.

Amazing plane

thanks

Added some FCS for stability, let me know how it goes, shes a heave beast anyway and should handle like an old analogue cable pulley system... Also she has a pretty cool stall warning system and falls out of the sky at 40-45 knots based on air pressure over wings.

Please put a roll stab on

Always been a fan of the short sunderland, glad there is finally a workshop creation that does it justice.
