Boing Stratebomber

46.0k rfostoria  3.1 years ago

Originally an icon of the Cold War, the Stratebomber has proved to be too versatile to retire, remaining in active service to this day with a planned service life decades into the future. Powered by eight Blasto J50 turbojet engines, the Stratebomber is armed with 9 Boom 50 bombs and a couple of cruise missles, too.

    It's actually the Boeing B-52H Stratofortress not the Boing Stratrbomber

    @rfostoria Totally understandable. Without VR it's very difficult to know how to size things correctly. I'm going through a few recent designs tonight and giving feedback as I try them in VR.

    If you make a new model, you will need to make a new post, unfortunately.

    @AndrewGarrison Oh ok, I don't have a VR setup so I was sort of guessing with the dimensions. Do you mean the floor and seat need to be lower?

    Edit- Ok yeah, I see what you mean. If I update it, is there a way to edit the post with the new model, or does that require re-posting?

    Really fun bomber. I tried this out in VR and my only feedback is the cockpit is a little too shallow which makes the seat very high. The seat of the chair is about even with my navel. Other than that I like it.
