Here it is. The B-17G FLYING FORTRESS
I have put so much time and effort into this build. I hope you do enjoy this plane as much as I have. This plane is very stable from my testing. As well the cockpit is a makeshift bombsite. (It's not accurate). Also there are cameras at each turret and gun spot.
If you have any questions, comments, or constructive criticism, I would love to hear it.
INSTRUCTIONS
AG 1 Top turret.
AG 2 Chin turret.
AG 3 Ball turret.
AG 4 Rear Guns.
AG 5 Waist Guns
AG 6 Landing lights.
Thanks and enjoy.

Np @GINGER01
@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing thank you
I have finished testing this for the challenge, it lasted a full 9 seconds! Nice job!
Excellent!
@temporaryaccount thanks for the history!
@HYF12345 thanks. Enjoy.
@GINGER01 Well done!
@franticmatty It would be awesome to hear what you have to say about my creation.
@ThomasRoderick thanks. Enjoy.
Ok@GINGER01
@CRJ900Pilot well when your done I would love to see it.
I didn't do it, sorry. I am making my own, but I might use some of these parts@GINGER01
@MrSilverWolf @bajc0 that means a lot that you guys like it from a player like you guys.
@hellcatz yes the waist guns work. Press AG 5 and VTOL slider. I mess up the description. The waist guns move in an up and down motion.
@CRJ900Pilot one more thing. When you are done with adding to my B-17. Ping me a message so I can see it and test it out.
@hellcatz But do the waist gunners work?
@GINGER01 I suppose that's true.
@hellcatz also the radio operator and the cheek guns in front are not supposed to work. I didn't want to add the the part count. Its all ready big. Those positions to me are the least used guns so I didn't make them rotate.
@hellcatz they all worked when I uploaded it. Try redownloading the plane. I made sure everything worked before I uploaded it. Make sure you follow the instructions. Press the AG groups and use the VTOL slider for the movement of the turrets.
:( Dorsal/Ventral/waist/cheek/tail/navigator guns don't work. How could you? (great bomber btw i like it.)
Noicccce
@Skyfalcon thanks. Enjoy.
@GINGER01 so I'm guessing you love ww2 airplanes if so ww2 is my favorite of all conflicts due to the tank and the aircraft and since that it was also the greatest war ever fought
@KiloCharlie thanks. Enjoy.
This is one of the best B-17 Flying Fortress replicas I have seen on the site, well done!
