Junkers Ju 288G-2 Pre-release (final) teaser

9,445 vcharng  4.8 years ago

It's been a long, long time. But now, the plane is finally close to complete.

Just like many of you may have been familiar during the last month, this is a very special modification of the Ju 288 bomber, with a 280mm recoiless rifle mounted in the lower fuselage.

And now.... on to the new features:

Yes I managed to make fuel tank pressurization to work in simpleplanes.
Press and hold "LaunchCountermeasures" to pull the fuel pump.
Due to the nature of pingpong and smooth function, you only need to press and hold for 5 pumps, and the system will finish another 5. Usually 10 pumps is enough to start the plane.

If the ignition (AG8) is turned off, the pressure will naturally reduce over time.
Also, to make combat and racing challenges more feasible, the fuel pump will automatically pressurize if you are above 100 km/h. So for in-air spawns you will have engine power right away. (But if land afterwards you will have to re-pump it)

For the rear cabin, the Lorenz Beam navigation is complete. Now you can enjoy guidance to Avalanche airport, Wright Airport and Yeager Airport.
Note that Lorenz approach is only available from the south for Yeager, as the mountain north of Yeager airport requires extensive visual confirmation.

The C station gunner sight also gets a new lens, but the turret is mostly cosmetic, as I failed to find a way to make automatic turret and didn't have space for a reticle (the gunner aims via a periscope, with very limited space inside).

Also, the VNE (never exceed speed) from the earlier demonstrator is retained, but now moved to the tail.

Now, flying faster than 550 km/h (IAS) for too long will cause the tail to break away. I added a yaw factor so it will break asymmetrically.
(Also remember that the 380 km/h landing gear speed limit is still there, it won't cause the gear to break, but instead it would be stuck)

This is the final teaser, the plane will be uploaded in a few days.
T or upvote to be tagged on the completed plane.
Sorry for the very prolonged production and so many teasers.

    @jamesPLANESii Err... I think I said in my earlier teasers that T/upvotes means to be tagged on the next teaser (and in the case of final teasers like this one, tagged on the released plane).... this has been how I do teasers for quite a number of planes...
    Well if this is inappropriate I can stop that nonetheless.
