CFS2 Erwin Welker BV238C. This huge aircraft made its first flight in April 1944 and was rather a flying ship than a boat, bigger than the BV-222, and was the heaviest aircraft of WWII. The Spruce Goose with eight engines was even much bigger but she was buildt at the end of the war and never did a real flight except a test taxiing with a short moment of being airborne. Only one BV-238 performed successful flights, the two other prototypes were never completed. The FS-model shows the heavy armed planned long range bomber version, which was never completed. It comes with two paint schemes: winter and green. The BV238 is a gentle giant. She takes off smoothly, even with full load. Cutting the engines, you enter a gentle descent with a pitch down nose attitude. Just push your joystick up and she lands quietly at the right angle. You can program the autopilot using an historical German flight director (you can only mark your direction, no altitude control). Special thanks to Erwin Welker and Maverickcfs2.

At the beginning as Atlantic liner between Hamburg and New York but soon after as modern cruise ship. Oil crisis and Dollar rate has made the crossings unrentable. From 1973 to 1974 she sailed under the name Hanseatic.
