@DragonAerotech Alright.
@TheOwlAce I haven't tried it yet, I just got off of the phone with my father. He's still in the hospital.
@DragonAerotech Did it work for you?
@TheOwlAce Oh! You should mention that in the description, thats quite useful!
@DragonAerotech Oh those, those are your bomb sights. Basically if you are going full speed and level, at 10,000 feet then it should be relatively accurate. If its off target then you can adjust it to your altitude and speed you desire.
@TheOwlAce I've been wondering this since the outset but - what are the protuberances at the side of the fuselage under and ahead of the cockpits?
@TheOwlAce Ahh so for nostalgia's sake! I haven't been playing SimplePlanes nearly as long so it just jumps out at me. However I can understand doing something the same way for the sake of nostalgia! ^_^
@DragonAerotech But I will likely fix that in a later version.
@DragonAerotech I just like the look of the cockpit and reminds me of the old days a year ago.
I've always liked the lines of this bomber but I'm curious as to why you still use multiple cockpits on the front when you can use a single small canopy and drop a slim nose cone down over it to give it a sleek looking wide windscreen without effecting visibility from the cockpit? I also learned from that nifty new B-17G that popped up recently, I think from TheMasterSoldier, that you can nudge bombs into the fuselage and drop them without pylons and activation groups - they just slip out of the fuselage when you push the button to fire weapon. I was in the process of putting together a demonstrator but then midway through noticed that your' bombs had activation groups on them as well as their pylons. Oh yeah, GREAT work on the new defensive armaments! The only thing I might say to improve it would be a nose gun fitted to a hinge too since approaching the bomber from any ventral or dorsal vectors in just about any position still leaves her vulnerable. Might want to do the same with the stinger gun and add a new gun to cover the tail from the ventral gondola. Even if you don't, still, great improvements - I like this bomber! :D
