Auto Credit Based on Rohan's Bomber Challenge

The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" was a strategic bomber operated solely by the USAF from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 was the largest mass-produced piston engine aircraft ever made. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built and was the first true intercontinental strategic bomber.

First, sorry that's it's enormous, but I thought it fitting for this beast of a bomber.

Group 1 VTOL retracts landing gear
Group 2 VTOL closes landing gear door
Group 3 VTOL opens bomb bay doors
Groups 4-5 drops bombs

Make sure you're level or even in a shallow dive before dropping bombs.

    @geebers It flies great on my Surface but I think the size and physics settings are definitely the limiting factors.

    @rohan, If you take the VOTL nozzles off the props and just put a few on the fuselage instead you should have better luck, the size will still limit you though.

    Well, you definitely made the size spot on! I don't mind that it's massive since I pref realism. I can easily tell what plane it is, not to mention the name... The prop/jet combo was done great, the real question is: Can I actually fly this plane?

    I like the design. But my favorite things are the moving parts. They are amazing! I just wish it was mobile friendly becuase it breaks becuase I can't go high physics.

    No it's just that I find it unfair... Read my comment on it on his luxury yacht and I'll see what I mean

    @Zing2000 Don't even worry, can't get over competitive in this game or it all falls apart.

    Damn, that looks amazing with the push props. Also looks spot on to the original.

    @Zing2000 Hey Zing, been playing around more with your boat and loving it. Made some tweaks to the nozzles but drives nice.
