CFS2 Gotha G.Vb Grossflugzeug night-bomber, 1918.
The ultimate development Gotha G.V series built by the Gothaer Waggonfabrik A.G. The new "Stossfahgestell" twin-wheels fitted ahead of the main wheels prevented nose-overs on difficult landings, and the new biplane tail allowed single-engined flight in a straight line, even making slow turns in the opposite direction possible.
It was powered by 2 high-compression, throttle gated, 6-cyl Mercedes D.IVa engines, altitude rated at 267 Hp at 1300 metres. Maximum speed was 135 kph, with a payload of 500 kg, although its improved structure allowed overloads.
Textures are by Martin Klein, and five liveries are provided: Go.G.Vb unit 935/18 in dark irregular night-lozenge , as worn by the AEG at the Canadian Aircraft Museum.
Go.G.Vb unit 917/18 in dark irregular daytime-lozenge pattern, plus an alternative with grey under surfaces.
Go.G.Vb unit 733/17 in conspicuous irregular daytime irregular, plus an alternative with grey under surfaces.
Custom photo-realistic panel by Kevin Driver, authentic custom Gotha G.V gauge set by Martin Klein, as well as other custom gauges by others. A bomb aimer´s panel is also included, with instructions in the Readme text and screenshots. Dp files with 5 different flight plans with help from Michael Lang (Ravenna).
