NA B-25J-1 Mitchell

6,256 90corvette  8.3 years ago

Finally got around to building my absolute favorite plane, the North American B-25. Flying it is very easy, just trim down once you get underway to keep the nose level. Pilot controlled guns are activated with AG1, and the guns that would be gunner-controlled are AG2. If you are night flying, wingtip lights and landing lights are AG3 and AG4 respectively.

As a side note, I understand that the guns on the 'cheek' are rotated outwards. This was done to prevent some weird magic that caused the guns to shoot the front off. On the bright side, this gives you a nice shotgun-esque spread of bullets if you are into that.

Edit: If the natural metal finish isn't cutting it for you, try changing the first paint slot to a flat olive drab or dark green, it really helps the nose framing bits by contrasting them against the glass.

    @Fuunguy666 Well I just got that same message when I tried to download it on my phone, but then oddly enough it continued through and then let me fly the plane.

    The "weird magic" is in fact bullet spread. You can set it to "0" via XML in order to achieve greater accuracy.

    @ChiChiWerx Hey thanks. I believe at some point I did attempt to put the gun spread down to zero (or some very miniscule number), but the self-inflicted shooting still happened, even with a bit of rotation outward. I don't know, I'll probably still go back sometime and try and fix it, thanks though.
