Normal controls

  • AG1 for bomb bay doors
  • AG8 for landing and navigation lights + gyro
  • VTOL down for flaps
  • Cam2 for bomb sight (semi accurate @ 20,000ft) - ! MUST FLY LEVEL !
  • Cam1 for last bomb - inspired by War Thunder

Flight manual :

  • Takeoffs :

Throttle to 75%
VTOL (flaps) 50%

  • Level Flight :

Throttle 100%
@20,000ft = Trim ~60% (down)

  • Landings :

Throttle 30%
VTOL (flaps) 100%
(Keep the plane at ~10° for best landing)


Features :

  • Working bomb bay doors
  • Working bomb stream (fast bomb drop - 25bl bombs x 12)
  • Working turrets
  • Navigation + landing lights
  • Custom landing gear (@ front)
  • SEMI-accurate bomb sight @ 20,000ft
  • Kinda low part count (lower than my previous)
  • Matt (flat) finish to result in less lag
  • Final bomb tracking view
  • Power Yaw (brake pads on engine in event of failure)

Extra stuff :

• Note : S20v1 = Sight (bomb sight), 20,000ft, version 1.


The wings (tips) are a bit off simply because I couldn’t make an accurate and good looking wing tip - now for the REAL reason, It’s not a specific model but rather a general model :)
