Schematic by Idratherberailroadin, published on CreateMod.com. This page lists what it contains; download the file from the creator’s page.

so I built a b17 for Valkyrian skies a couple years ago and decided to change it to aeronautics. this build IS NOT survival friendly sorry, I'm new to this mod and has only played in creative mode. she flys well, the best cruising altitude is just above the clouds. the schematic for the bomb will come after this so you can reload the bomb. you could operate this with a crew of players and shoot down any one who comes close which would be fun. the only gunner's position that isn't there is the ball gunner on the bottom. this specific b17 was based on "Sweet and Lovely" I used my model for reference

HISTORY

the Boeing b17 "flying fortress" was developed in 1930 to be fast, efficient, and heavy, and to be used in the war during the time, and was the most produced bomber in history. here's its Wikipedia page if you want to know more --> Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress - Wikipedia

SETUP

spawn schematic in a flat area with nothing inside the schematic box

right click the creative thruster on the bottom with a wrench until it says no particles

find a place to take off, must be a couple hundred blocks of runway until she catches air

happy bombing!

CONTROLS

wasd: typical controls

hold shift: throttle

capps lock: landing gear

space bar: bomb bay doors

lever behind cockpit: cruise control (I have no idea if this lever still works)

extra stuff. when reloading the bomb, lock it in the air, open the bomb bay doors and hold the bomb in the bomb bay and lock it there, then close the bomb bay doors and unlock everything. the doors sometimes becom out of sync sometimes, just spawn in another one. she uses a thruster from create propulsion (the props weren't string enough)
