FLYING INSTRUCTIONS AT END!

UnstableOrbit Airways, in partnership with Boeing, is proud to announce the revival of a classic historical passenger aircraft: the B-314 Clipper!. The B-314 is a large flying boat capable of transoceanic flights that was first produced in the 1930s. The new line has improved speed and stability, while sacrificing none of the luxuries of the original design. Enjoy an affordable, relaxing flight with amenities not seen since the demise of the great transoceanic passenger liners so many decades ago, including private cabins, ample cargo space, and gourmet meals! Tickets start at just $175/person for overnight destinations! Book your vacation today!

FLYING INSTRUCTIONS:
---First off, this is a flying boat. It does NOT have wheeled landing gear, so water touchdowns only!
---Secondly, this is a complex aircraft to fly, so inexperienced pilots may encounter some difficulties during operation.
---Third, and most importantly, THIS AIRCRAFT FEATURES VARIABLE PITCH PROPELLERS! Anyone who does not understand how to operate these will NOT be able to successfully fly this aircraft!

Controls:
group 1-4 = toggle engines 1-4 on/off
vtol slider = propeller blade pitch control. slider up: forward/more pitch; slider down: reverse/less pitch

Tested only on maximum settings on PC. Use with different settings at your own risk.

    Awesome man. I love the variable pitch prop planes. Fun to see what you can get them to do.
