About the AF-55B

The AF-55B ‘Adelaide’ is the bomber variant of the Eastern Federation Navy AF-55, an airframe originally designed for maritime patrol. The original AF-55 went into service 1951, making the AF-55B the oldest aircraft flying in the Easter Federations line-up of aircraft. Due to its design from a bygone era, the ‘Adelaide’ is not an aircraft capable of outperforming any modern-day aircraft. The primary reason she’s still in service is simply the extremely low operating costs. Officially, the AF-55B is still designated as a bomber, however in practice these aircraft primarily are used to tactically airdrop small equipment (such as small watercraft). Even though this aircraft belongs to the navy, it is incapable of carrier operation; it needs a paved runway.


Note

There are some issues I have been unable to / unwilling to fix:
1. The landing gear shakes when you land after dropping any of the bombs.
2. The menu / left screen in the (pilot) cockpit isn't set up entirely correctly. Nothing is missing, but I forgot to take out some filler information.
3. The navigator seat really isn't that great; I remade the pilot controls, but I didn't feel like also redoing the navigator seat.
4. Also, there is no trim...

    @Walvis never said anything about 120 fps lmao
    It doesn’t get 120 fps but it runs smooth
    Although I can’t fast forward without some freeze framing happening

    @Vercezy 5000+ parts will deepfry anything but the top performing golden chips. I highly doubt your iPad can push 120fps when loading in a 5000+ creation lmao.

    @SkyBoogie1the1original The 1111 parts seems like a joke to me now (except if it did have a lot of drag enabled parts)

    @SkyBoogie1the1original not really, with 1050 I can still easily do 2000+ at high quality and playable fps

    @Neeguh By re-using the cockpit of this post, or by asking a moderator of the website to make your post a successor to this one after you have uploaded it to the website.
