**Ilya Mourometz A Floatplane Alpha 1**

**Note** You must have the lastest FS-WWI Plane Pack Online Standard installed

Mace started this project and surprised the heck out of me when he said he wanted to do this bomber as a floatplane. Many people helped out in the making of this kite. I would like to thank Aladar for his Lewis gun, Wat32 for the skin, FlyXwire for providing me with the info and plans that were needed, and Recon3 for the engine models and textures.

To install: Extract to the Fighter Squadron\Media folder with the 'Use folder names' option checked.

Add this line to your keyboard.inp file:

cmdRotateDrum2 = Bounce JoystickButton1 (You may already have this line. If so dont add it)

Features:

-DM includes fuel leaks, respectable engine DM, minor control surface DM and damaged models.

-Moving control wheel, column and throttle.

-The ability to man the pilot, copilot, tail/waist gunners and bombadier positions.

-The ability to drop large bombs!!!

-Many more!

**NOTE** Do NOT go into a dive with this areoplane! She is very fragile... Also remember that this is no sports car. Early WWI planes must be handled with TLC. (Tender Loving Care) The climb rate is slow, especially with a bomb load so keep this in mind.

As this is a alpha there are still some things that need to be worked on/ironed out. If you notice any bugs please report them! And if you have any suggestions I would be most greatful to hear them. :)

Known Problems/things to be done: Wings bend foward when you stress dive. I dont know why the DOFs appear to be set up correctly. Skin is that of an Ilya V. A good set of missions. A new hi-res skin would really help me out! If you would like to make one, please e-mail me at ArgonV@AOL.com

Enjoy! And welcome to early WWI aviation. :)
