Description:
Info

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 .

Variants

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.

Workbench editing

This is the single piece variant, so you need to edit your workbench in order to spawn it. (how to – https://youtu.be/Q4JPLvvo6F0 ) (spawn in water)
This variant is meant for creative (still can carry 6 containers), the other one for survival. (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2629200397 – survival version)

How to use?

After spawning you are gonna want to 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

Take-off

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 didnt lag, but before taking it on a server you should probably ask the owner like I did 😀
