1:1 scale Hughes H-4 Hercules – Survival! (spawned in 3 pieces)

This is a 1:1 replica of the (until recently) largest plane ever built, some artistic liberties were taken due to the games limitations.
Most of the parameters are taken from plans I found here https://www.drivearchive.co.uk/xplanes/goose.htm .

YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE WINGS TOO

I have made two variants of this plane, one that is a single piece (less developed) and the other one that is in 3 pieces (both wings and the fuselage), both variants use flywheel glitches to get enough torque to fly (sorry about that), but it still consumes fuel so its not an infinite generator sort of deal.

This variant can be used in survival, so even more stuff is deviating from the real deal, such as the anchor, ping pong table in the cargo bay, beds and other little things. It should be comfortable to use.

This is the 3 piece variant, so there is no workbench editing required!
But at the same time this makes the plane require an assembly

1. You will need a tug boat and a flying container loader for this.
My choice of vehicles:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2626934882 – Tug boat
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2519378873 – Container Loader

2. First spawn the fuselage and pull it out of the workbenches range.

3. Spawn either the left or the right wing.

4. Pull the wing close enough to the plane to attach the winches on top.
The medium winches are stacked on top of each-other, the bottom one matches with the rope anchor closer to the fuselage and the top one withe one farther out.
To winch in/out use the instrument panel placed next to the winches. (picture included)

5. After the electrical connectors jump into place go ahead and spawn the other wing.

6. Do the same as with the first wing and wait for them to even out.

7. Now you may notice that only 1 of the wings is actually completely attached in its place using the grippers – This is what the container loader is for, take it and attach it to the 4 el. connectors on the tip of the already in place wing, then simply pull up until the other wing snaps into place.

8. Each of the wings has an instrument panel on them, on both these panels enable gripper brakes and then then release electric connectors (in this order)
I would also recommend disabling the electric connectors on the fuselage using the same panel as used for the winches. (To prevent accidents while loading containers)

9. Now connect all the connectors next to the cargo bay on the top (a set of hoses and a set of el. cables on each side) without this the wings wont get any fuel and electricity. Make sure not to use the hose anchors without the buttons next to them, those are for pumping fuel in/out.

10. Now the plane should be ready for flight! Enjoy!

1. Connect up everything on the top
2. Set the propeller pitch lever to a bit above 10
3. Turn the "Pitch Propellers Up" on
4. Set the throttle to about 50
5. On your left hand side turn the starter on (and keep it like that as long as you want the engines running)
6. After this you simply enable the clutch (next to the starter) and take off
7. When in the air turn off the propeller pitch
8. Fly and enjoy! (Controls are normal plane ones WASD and left/right for the rudder)
PS: I would recommend flying at around 100 m/s (lowest fly speed is 30 and highest about 130 m/s)

If you have any suggestions or ideas I will gladly hear them

I have tested it on the Lost Latitude server and it did not lag, but before taking it onto a server you should probably ask the owner like I did 😀
