improved ground handling


The Avro 694 Lincoln is a British heavy bomber, designed as an upgrade of the Avro 683 Lancaster. Used by the RAF, RAAF, and the Fuerza Aerea Argentina, the Lincoln was licence built by Government Aircraft Factories in Australia, fitted with Australian built Merlin 102s. The RAAF operated the Mk.30 and Mk.31 in the Heavy Bomber, to replace the Lancaster, and in Maritime Patrol. The Mk.31 was a modification of the Mk.30, lengtnhening the nose by 6'6" (1.98m) to allow for observers to have a view undisturbed by exhaust and propwash.


Controls and flying notes

  • AG1 for Bomb doors
  • AG2 to unlock tailwheel steering
  • Camera 1 for bombardier, as nose is ridiculously long

    • Advanced targeting mod is recommended, and bombardier camera will see the bomb reticle for all expected attitudes of anti-ship bombing.

    @Avro683Lancaster if you put a camera on the turret it helps alot, even if it can only pivot. Check out my Ar-77 i posted a while ago to see what i mean

    I prefer more freedom, as it allows for better aiming, although I don’t often fly with AI aircraft on, and im not good at aiming anyway. @TheOwlAce

    @Avro683Lancaster i just go for the one degree of movement, in the dogfight mod is works fine against enemy plays so i just keep doing it.

    It would be possible, although one of the reasons I didn’t is because control allocation is a challenge sometimes, and the turret would either have to share a control input or be restricted by one degree of freedom. I could make another aircraft, such as a Hudson, and give that a turret instead. @TheOwlAce
