-Use the cockpit image to find the buttons!
-Locate and press the Master Switch (Battery and hydraulics)
-Activate fuel pumps 1 - 4
-Its recommended to activate "Sync to Throttle 1"
-Activate engine ignitions 1 - 4 and up the throttle to 0.1
-The engines should be spinning a bit, now you are ready to get this in the air (turn of ignition)
-Deactivate parking brakes
-Locate the Flaps and put them down
-Taxi if necessary (Throttle 0.1 - 0.25)
-Throttle up and hold S
-Once in the air you should activate "Transmitter power" (activates coms and radio operator's radio)

Copilot: Shares WASD and ARROW control with the Pilot, you can't deactivate this

Has a map and can send headings for heading hold - first the navigator sets a heading and sends it, the Copilot can accept or decline the heading, if accepted it will activate and the plane will set course for that heading, if you want to turn off the heading hold the navigator has a button and the Copilot can HOLD down the "accept" and "decline" buttons - this will cancel heading hold

All stations have coms - you toggle PPT and then when you talk it is heard within the entire plane, The Pilot and Copilot have interphone (pilot) and intercom (copilot), theese need to be first activated then "push to talk"

He has a panel that controls how many bombs to drop and the interval between them (seconds) then he just presses "drop bomb series" after the bomb bay opens to drop, if you want to drop 1 bomb just set that in the amount of bombs to be dropped and press the drop bomb series button. He also has a Bombsight that can be adjusted with the keypad to be accurate, you can zoom in and out with the arrows.

There are 3 bomb payloads in the blueprint - 500lb 12x, 1000lb 6x, 2000lb 2x. They can be placed in the B17 using the selection grid. Line it up with the reference images!!! The bombs themselves have more / more powerful warheads depending on the bomb (the bigger the bomb the better the boom)


First go to the editor and find the selection grid at the top right of your screen (its the second one from the left)
When youre in the selection grid a menu should open up at the left, at the bottom of it there is an option to "Load content" press it. Now you navigate to the workshop section and find one of the 3 different bomb loadouts. Once chosen click it and now it should automatically be placed in the correct position, then press "Paste" at the top of the selection grid menu on the left. (Hope this helps)

His radio is pretty simple - audio recieving / sending, signal strenght, PPT and frequency.


explained in the navigator section



ALL gunners are camera controlled and SPACE to fire

it will be in a position facing down, once you get in the control handle it will pull down a bit, now you can press 1 and 2 to aim more up or down, if you get out it will automatically reset to its down position

-Press "6" to turn off the override button
-Press "1" to turn off the "Lock in back or down position" button
-Press "2" to activate the turret (let you use mouse to aim)
-Press "4" to activate HUD (you can actually press E on the top or bottom half of the HUD to adjust brightness)
-Space to fire

How to exit:
-Press "2"
-Press "3"
-Make sure override is off and use the arrows to turn the turret towards the back (it should lock)
-Tilt the turret down using the arrows
