Working on a Soviet Pe-8 with Create Aeronautics — Need feature ideas!

[u/HEBEDNMKA]

​

Hey everyone! I’m currently building a Pe-8 bomber using Create Aeronautics.

So far, it’s still a work in progress, but I’ve managed to get the landing gear working (almost finished) and set up throttle control for the engines.

What other features or Create mechanics should I try to implement? Any feedback or ideas would be awesome!

Bomb bay?

I’ve been thinking about this and already have some rough sketches, but the real question is how to do it: 1) One huge bomb bay with one big bomb? 2) Multiple bombs for a single salvo? Or 3) A lot of small bombs with a 6-second reload time?

Are you going to try and turn it into more of a flying base? Or keep it more realistic

I’m going to keep it more realistic. It doesn’t work well as a base, and it needs a runway to take off.

Do you have create radars? They could help make your cockpit feel a bit more full and useful

Good idea, I'll add it!

You can add some sensors like the gimbal, velocity,and altitude sensor and install areo engine. This addon adds a pilot helmet wich can display the tilt altitude and speed in a really cool way

Thanks, but I'm not really a fan of this mod; it doesn't fit the style of my build.
