Kriger Cruiser K25 Flying Boat

The Flying Boats are back! What was once a war time essential aircraft is now a very valuable asset in the world of Stormworks. Kriger's very own K25 known as the Cruiser is a quad engine sea plane able to carry people and cargo over great distances at great speed. She is not a novice's aircraft but her very modern cockpit makes her relatively easy to fly.

Included is a video showing a creative mode land-based takeoff as well as visit around the aircraft, water landing and water takeoff. This aircraft has no tilting engines yet it is still able to perform a water takeoff.

• Wingspan: 31m
  
• Length: 26m
  
• 4 Water-Cooled Medium Engines
  
• 11000L of fuel
  
• Cruising speed of 135knots
  
• Range of 128km at cruising speed
  
• Max speed of 165knots
  
• Crew: 3 (Pilot, Co-Pilot, Flight Engineer)
  
• Passengers: 11 sitting
  
• A lot of cargo space
  
• Galley
  
• Lavatory
  
• 4 position flaps
  
• Water takeoff mode (consists of rudders and electrical motors powering propellers pushing the plane up)
  
• VHF Radio
  
• Differential thrust mode for turning the plane in the water
  
• Fire bottles on all 4 engines

• Top hatch with glass dome: 4 fuel valves
  
• Avionics, Control Surfaces, Magnetos
  
• Throttle at 12%
  
• Top hatch with glass dome: EG1,2,3,4 Starters
  
• Flaps down
  
• Throttle at 20%
  
• Propeller Pitch to Max
  
• Nav Lights
  
• Throttle at 100%, pitch up
  
• Raise flaps
  
• Climb to desired altitude
  
• Ease back on the throttle until speed of 135knots
  
• Gyro and / or alt hold
  
• Optionnal: Cowl flaps when taking off and landing

Note: along with the screenshots I've included a video of me showing off the aircraft and doing a water takeoff. If you're having trouble taking off from the water, watch the video.

• Top hatch with glass dome: 4 fuel valves
  
• Avionics, Control Surfaces, Magnetos
  
• Throttle at 12%
  
• Top hatch with glass dome: EG1,2,3,4 Starters
  
• Throttle at 20%
  
• Nav Lights
  
• Set desired altitude to 400m
  
• Enable Alt Hold
  
• Water Takeoff Mode (keyboard shortcut: 1)
  
• Throttle at 100%, pitch up
  
• Propeller pitch to max to gain speed then back down and to max again until lift up
  
• Disable Water Takeoff Mode
  
• Climb to desired altitude
  
• Ease back on the throttle until speed of 135knots
  
• Gyro
  
• Optionnal: Cowl flaps when taking off and landing

• With engines running, on the water and Prop pitch at zero, use Emergency EG Shutoff for EG2 and 3 (inboards)
  
• Enable Differential Thrust Mode, Throttle up and use rudders to move around

I'll be updating the Cruiser with "beaching gear" in order to properly do a land takeoff then ditch the takeoff gear sort of like the real flying boats (even though they don't use it for takeoff)
