One of my Warplanes - Italian Navy Search & Rescue
The Italians enjoyed the luxury of the Mediterranean - Sun kissed islands pockmarked around Italy created a natural affinity for Seaplane manufacturing. The CANT Z501 was a product of this, and despite their meagre defences, were successful rescue aircraft that picked up anybody their crews could find, irregardless of nation.
P I L O T S - N O T E S
Full working turret and working flares
ACT 1 - Fire flares for spotting any downed pilots you see swimming around in the Mediterranean.
ACT 8 - Completely deactivates all control surfaces on the aircraft, so you can switch to the gunner turret control
ACT 2 - Gunner turret control. (cam 2) Don't shoot too low. As well as pitch/roll aiming control, the turret is mounted on a circular railing that can be rotated using VTOL.
This Italian girl is hard to fly - Water takeoff, Trim down full, throttle to 50%, then 100% once good speed achieved. Pull pitch hard and after a moment it will takeoff.
During flying, recommended trim should be 80% down but you need to trim as you see fit. Avoid pitching down hard - This plane wasn't designed for that, you'll get a mouthful of seawater.

nice
i’d download an MBR-2 i download tons of your planes anyway@Weaverfish
This replica is superb!!! Great job, highly recommend!
@ReischetzFokke I was thinking of an Il-2 with antishipping cannons, I just wish I could figure out other fun antishipping weapons. I feel like I've developed on everything this game has to offer.
Maybe a Il2 with both antishipping cannons and a single torpedo :0
@ReischetzFokke I could do an Il-2. That's a great idea, thanks! Let me do some research.
@ReischetzFokke I want each aircraft to be unique, why would anyone download a mbr 2 after I've created this seaplane already, same goes for the po-2 and the swordfish I made.
I need to find a russian naval-use aircraft that represents something I've not created before, that has a mission or special weaponry that makes it unique.
super cool
Yeah man. @ReischetzFokke I would have done your request for an aichi d3 but I wanted the Japanese naval specialist to be a big complicated torpedo bomber, so gonna try the g3m
