peer01 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The Zeppelin Staaken: a 4 engined biplane strategic German bomber with a 138 ft wing span (like a B-29). It had 4 direct driven engines in a tandem push-pull configuration. 2 mechanics were in flight seated between the engines in open niches (also animated in the virtual one), cut in the center of each nacelle. It needed a complicated 18-wheeled undercarriage. Each Staaken also needed a ground crew of 50 men. They did bomb London and Chelsea in the Uk and caused lots of damage in France and the Eastern front.

peer01 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Here's a YouTube movie with the Staaken and other types of Zeppelins "Giant / Riesen planes" . There are shots taken from the mechanics in the Nacelles, the 2 pilots and their bosses in the nose cabine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYotsvW4k1g [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBJim Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Excellent pics my old friend, and I am inspired to install one. I see that it was also available with pontoons, and can understand why you are so attracted to it. Happiness is FSX Steam and Windows 7 . :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 http://homepages.domicilium.com/peveril/hangar/planes/staaken.htm Here you can get it Jim! :) About that float one, the Staaken with floats crashed on it's second flight I believe. Not a great success....:pilot::rolleyes: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 What an impressive monstrosity Jan! I had never heard of this one before. You couldn't pay me enough to be a nacelle mechanic on one of those, especially in cold or foul weather. They must have been totally deaf after a short time in flight. Interesting quick change from landing gear to pontoons. Beautifully displayed as usual. :cool: :cool: :cool: :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalizzi Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Love this plane, not all that dissimilar to the Sikorsky Ilya Muromets, impressive set of shots too. All it needs is a VC, some gauges. :rolleyes: hmmmm. One can even fit a G1000 set :cool: And the link, too, will it work with FSX? Well done Jan.

peer01 Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Khalid., thanks! :) It works in my FSX acceleration, after I added the FSX Vickers Vimy panel. The VC works in FSX, but without gauges. Thanks very much Larry! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 The Farman is a remarkable plane, the same 4 push-pull engine configuration as the Zeppelin Staaken. Nice pic Gerard! :cool::cool::) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
