....... or there's the Dornier DoX flying boat......

I think the Spruce Goose has

Just remember these won't have accurate flight dynamics or engine controls/instruments. The FS flight model can only handle a maximum of 4 engines. Mixed powerplants are not possible.

...mmm'''back in the 50s when I was a young guy there was the Bristol Brabazon...an amazing creation for it's time....14 feet more wingspan than a 747 and just 34 ft less than the new A380....almost forgoten now but it sure caused a stir back then.commoner

Ah the Brabazon or "big white elephant" as it was sometimes called. I saw it fly along the coast here once when I was but a lad. It was powered by 8 Bristol Centaurus 18-cylinder radial engines fitted in pairs & each driving one prop.

There was also the Saunders Roe Princess. A big flying boat developed around the same time with 10 Bristol Proteus engines working on the same principle as the Brabazon. Unfortunately the day of the flying boat was over. Several of these magnificent giants were cocooned at Calshot in the Solent for many years until they were eventually scrapped.
