Gotha GV - WW1 Bomber

Inspired by Rise of Flight, I made this Gotha G.V, a German bomber from World War 1. It has night camouflage and it comes with 2 auto cannons and 3 bombs. I've implemented AI, so as soon as you spawn the plane a balloon will be released in front of the main seat. To get in the air, you should get to the middle of the plane and use the spin block controller (T for forward) to get the engine driven propellors up and running. It would be wise to face your chair while doing this, because the AI will get the plane to pitch and you will be likely to fall out of the plane. Get in your chair when the propellors are running at 100%. You are now ready to take over from the AI. Notice that when you've selected all weapons, the rear gun might be facing forward, shooting you in the back when aiming in front of you. The bombs are fairly simple, because 3 parts are explosives and the front part is a magnet. I find them to be reasonably effective.

In my Character Sheet in Buffs, I use 10 points for Sky Captain. I made the plane using this amount of points in that buff, so i recommend to get at least 10 points in that buff. I haven't tried 0 points, but I guess the plane will be more difficult or even impossible to fly. Anyway, with the 10 points in Sky Captain, the plane is stable and good to go. If you want to configure the Aerial AI: the AI Mainframe is somewhere in the left part of the fuselage, just right of the lower left wing.

Have fun flying and editing!

NOTE: The in-game Gotha is too big in proportion to the player's body. It's weapons and it's propellors are unrealistic. With this Gotha I tried to build a more historically accurate plane. And this plane is cheaper too.
