G17 Glider Plane (With a Tow Plane)

105 PhantomK250  2.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BMilan's CG-4A Waco Glider (with C-47 glider tug)

The G17 Glider Plane was a B-25 Mitchell I borrowed from another creation -> https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/hoGyGV/B-25J-Mitchell.
I removed the Engines, ball turret tweaked some thing here and there like adding seats where the airborne division would be sitting. ( this "G17 glider" is fictional btw)
I used another creation which is auto-credited already.

Basically the Tow-Plane Drags the glider plane into the air where the Plane releases the glider plane and that plane glides into wherever carrying troops.

AG1- Activate Tow-Plane Engine and controls (also opens the bay where troops leave from but ignore that)
AG2- Releases Tow Plane
AG3- Unlocks rear turret (cam-controlled)

Enjoy! this was super fun to make and couldn't make it without the help of the 2 other creations.
