Flying Fortress MK6

With MK6 I managed to significantly reduce wind resistance, make it faster and way more stable to fly!

Controlls:
Thrust: SPACE+V,
Pitch: W+S,
Roll: A+D,
Landing gear: G,
Flaps: F,
Elevators: T,
Turrets: Q+E,
Access Stairs: B

For take off: Make sure stairs are up (B) and flaps (F) and elevators (T) are down. Go! (SPACE) Once in the air bring elevators back up (T) and retract landing gear (G). When up to speed you can bring the flaps up (F) to trim the plane out some. -


LORE:

Some say, it can't be true. A plane like this; Way too heavy, way too bulky, impossible! This thing could have never been build. They are wrong! Others say, it should have never been build! And they might have a point there... But it is real! It was build! And it actually flies! This is how it came about:

There was a prince among the royals of Pulau Mahkota. He was crazy! Nuts! Had coo-coo bananas bats in his belfry! And he was dreaming of a flying castle, a flying fortress of sorts. He wanted to rain pitch and sulfur on his enemies heads, not just from his castles walls, but from a flying machine. He spoke to his armaments minister and asked, if it was possible to build such wonderous contraption. The minister, not being quite right in the noggin himself, told the prince it was no problem at all.

The following months were busy with inventing, planning and building, and reinventing, replanning and rebuilding the Flying Fortress. Soon, the undertaking used up so much wood, the prince began deforesting the whole island. (And that' why there's hardly any trees on Pulau Mahkota left!) He used up all the green wood and all the brown wood. He even made tons of transparent wood, because the prince wanted to be able to see the baffled faces of his subjects when roaring over their heads.

After what felt like ages to the prince, the Flying Fortress was finally ready for it's maiden flight. The minister reassured the prince, that it was totally safe. Really! 100%! No problem whatsoever! They brought the machine to the Crossings' Bridge, supposedly the perfect spot for a first take off. The prince, thrilled of anticipation, entered the Flying Fortress. He pushed the throttle down, pulled the controll stick towards himself and soon the ground vanished from his sight. The nose of the contraption went up. And up. And so far up, it was actually going down again. The whole apparatus made a quick roll backwards and ruggedly hit the ground. The prince was not amused. Crawling out from under the crashed machine, he swiftly wiped the blood off his nose and immediately fired his minister. (He actually fired him this day! Out of a cannon! Right into the ocean! People think that's why the prince added so many cannons to the Flying Fortress - To remind everyone how easily they could get fired...) Thenceforth, the prince kept working on the machine all by himself.

It was hard! The idea of dropping pitch and sulfur from the contraption was soon discarded. The prince had managed to actually take off without crashing, but he could hardly keep the 4 tons heavy contraption stable in the air. No chance keeping a trajectory precise enough, to hit ground targets with missiles of any kind. Still, the prince was posessed by his crazy idea of the Flying Fortress and kept testing and improving and retesting and reimproving over and over again.

After luckily being snatched from the jaws of death several times, the prince was finally happy with the performance of his Flying Fortress. It isn't clear, if the flying contraption really was improved, or if the prince just got used to it's janky behavior. After all, practice makes perfect. Howsoever, he organized a great celebration and invited all the islands royals and all the islands peasants. He wanted everyone to finally see and admire his magnificent achievement! He wanted all those who had laughed about him, all those who had discounted his plans as a crazy idea, to stand in awe when he roared across their worthless heads!

The noise was almost unberable and the earth shook under everyones feet, as the prince took off. He flew several rounds around the castle, then suddenly dove down and swooshed through the court yard, as close to the ground as he possibly could. What felt to the prince like a perfectly elegant performance, looked very differently to the people of the island. To them it seemed like a weird, uncontrollable, demonic dance. At times it seemed the tail of the apparatus was overtaking it's nose, then again they couldn't tell if it was upright or on its head. All in all, it was a very disturbing sight.
When the prince had finally landed, he jumped out of his machine, a big grin on his reddened face. But the reaction of his audience wasn't as exuberant as he had hoped for. Some of his guests were already leaving. Most others just stared at him, half scared, half revulsive. The prince asked: "What's wrong with you? Wasn't that just amazing?"
After a long moment of silence, the princes' father, the king, finally said: "This monstrosity should have never been build!" Then he turned around and walked away, slowly shaking his head. The prince thought: Whatever! These fools have no idea what true grandiosity looks like!

Since then, no day has gone by without the prince roaring across the island in his Flying Fortress. Every day, the bookies take bets, if the prince will finally fall to his death today. But so far, those betting on "no", have always won...
