Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress

8,281 12ocketguy  6.9 years ago

Here it is. The B-17G FLYING FORTRESS

I have put so much time and effort into this build. I hope you do enjoy this plane as much as I have. This plane is very stable from my testing. As well the cockpit is a makeshift bombsite. (It's not accurate). Also there are cameras at each turret and gun spot.

If you have any questions, comments, or constructive criticism, I would love to hear it.

INSTRUCTIONS
AG 1 Top turret.
AG 2 Chin turret.
AG 3 Ball turret.
AG 4 Rear Guns.
AG 5 Waist Guns
AG 6 Landing lights.
Thanks and enjoy.

    @hellcatz yes the waist guns work. Press AG 5 and VTOL slider. I mess up the description. The waist guns move in an up and down motion.

    @hellcatz also the radio operator and the cheek guns in front are not supposed to work. I didn't want to add the the part count. Its all ready big. Those positions to me are the least used guns so I didn't make them rotate.

    @hellcatz they all worked when I uploaded it. Try redownloading the plane. I made sure everything worked before I uploaded it. Make sure you follow the instructions. Press the AG groups and use the VTOL slider for the movement of the turrets.

    @GINGER01 so I'm guessing you love ww2 airplanes if so ww2 is my favorite of all conflicts due to the tank and the aircraft and since that it was also the greatest war ever fought
