Handley Page Halifax

799 SirGareth  5.2 years ago

The Handley page Halifax was a heavy bomber during World War 2. It was the twin to the avro Lancaster but could not carry as much payload. This version has turrets that work great at shooting down enemy fighters.Press 1 to engage rear turret, and 2 for top. Make sure the plane is stable (ag 7 will stabilize it) and turn off 8 before using the turrets (8 is the wing controls). Use roll and pitch to control the turrets, and enter cameras 1 and 2 to use the aiming reticle- with practice I won 60% of my dogfights. Collisions are turned off the top guns so don’t worry about shooting your tail.3 turns on the front machine gun, it has no camera but you can use cockpit view. 4 will eject the pilots and parachute them down. 5 and vtol down will open the bomb bay, you can drop bombs one at a time or all at once with 6.Finally, when landing, don’t have your brakes on the moment you touch down. This can cause the plane to flip. Let it touch down then brake.Hope you enjoy this replica, I spared no expense in the features!
