@TheOwlAce Yep that's what this one basically turned into was a bubble canopy but it's an unconventional shape.

@DragonAerotech i was thinking about doing the same of even giving her a bubble canopy, but decided i liked the look of the original. May make one later just to experiment

@TheOwlAce Won't be long now, just need to stop procrastinating on the canopy framing. lol

@DragonAerotech ill have to check it out when you are done

@TheOwlAce Naw, wouldn't figure you'd post a new version for a detail like that. I now have nav light green and red in my standard "Finnish Colors Palette." I also added semi-gloss white. Somehow or other the license produced version wound up with a LOAD of extra drag, some 500 points. I increased the size of the wing gear to 1.1 its normal size so now it has a somewhat nose down attitude vs nose up. This helped with banging the prop blades on the strip on landing a lot. I had originally omitted the air brakes and would just throttle down and come in but she comes in too heavy that way. Thus I created some blocks that were 0.18 thick to snuggle down into the wing and was able to put air breaks on the top and bottom of those. That omitted the tendency for the old trio of airbreaks to pull the nose down. This made landing it probably as easy if not a bit easier to land than it's predecessor.
I wanted to go with a different sort of canopy look and so I made my own with a tiny little wedge canopy under it all. Still gives a good field of vision though you feel like a dwarf peering over the steering wheel a bit. I may yet peep inside and nudge it up a lil bit. lol
In addition to the one 20mm MG213C I uprated the other two guns to 13 mm MG131s and added one more in each wing. Fewer cannons than the Salamointi that it will be replacing but that MG213C more than makes up for the 20 mm HS.404 Hispano-Suiza cannons in terms of rate of fire/muzzle velocity and the MG131s throw out enough copper jacketed lead to make any pilot or bomber aircrewmans' butt to pucker up!
She's about 600 Lb heavier than this model and lacks a true landing light but she has a ventral light that illuminates the ground under the bird. That said she's got 403-405 gallons of fuel; It seems to jump around from when I load it one time or another. The same has been true of drag points. At times I wonder if these are abstracts in the game and not true fixed settings.

@TheOwlAce have you made any progress on the devil burd?

@DragonAerotech you could put drop tanks on her, and i know, i hadnt noticed till later aircraft that i had it wrong and didnt feel like posting a new fivhter just for that.

@TheOwlAce Hah! I didn't even see you made an improved variant already!! Finland's variant is well underway and will be smashing up Canadian and US aircraft soon. Due to her sheer small size I don't think she'll be able to fill the role of escort fighter for my yet to be posted bomber. She can keep up with her better than the VL Salamointi could and managed to give her a LITTLE bit more fuel through some tweeks here and there than the Salamointi but its still not enough to get her across the pond to defend the bombers attacking US and Canadian targets. I need to crunch the numbers on the DB605's fuel consumption rate to see how far from the target I am. If I had to guess I'd need at least twice what I've squeezed into this tiny bird. Good grief, when I land it - if it hits too hard it makes a heck of a boom! Oh, thought you should know, I did some research on nav lights. My friend, red is to port and green is to starboard~ I found an obscure mention that the Luftwaffe used blue as opposed to green for theirs, however walkarounds of surviving aircraft have disproven this - at least in the Bf-109.

@Liquidfox Thank you.

@SimpleFlow No, thats just retarded.

@TheOwlAce
Woah someone's mad

@SimpleFlow Why even say that? How about something about the plane?

@SimpleFlow Are you mentally ill?
