Someone without CloD asked to see more screenies of bomber crew positions.

A collection of pics from inside a Heinkel:

Did you use the auto stabilisor? Mine doesnt engage no matter what I map it to...

[Avionsdeguerre]

Amazing ! :)

I use 'A' for autopilot before I go to the crew positions - it always engages for me.

Yes A-mazing! Is there a way to raise the pilots seat and look out of the hatch while flying/landing?

Hahah, with you on that one!

There is a key-map ability (to raise the pilots seat), but so far my attempts to do this in the Heinkel have met with failure. :(

Bob I played around with the bomber and was able to move between positions and shoot the guns but could not figure out the bombsight and open bomb doors what did you set to use them?

It's Ctrl-B to open the bomb-bay doors, and Shift-F1 to view the bomb sight (assuming you are already in the bomb-aimers position)

I haven't yet worked out how to operate the sight though - it's always at a weird angle.

p.s. The Heinkel has a bomb sight and mechanism, but it seems the Ju88 doesn't have that, and you are just meant to use it purely as a dive bomber.

Just switch to the co-pilot/gunner/observer position in the Ju88 and press the "loosen straps" key, you'll get the bombsight ;)

Aside though from the faults below, great feeling to being there. generally well done.

MG15 saddle drums are nicely done, blued metal feel to them. Its a pity they havent got the gunsight right though, for a gunners position and their claims of accuracy they need a simple cross hair, what they have given us is not what the gunner aimed through. Any picture of an MG15 would show the real sight. Some inventiveness creeping in here....as is:-

Also the flying clothing is all wrong. Isn't such basic stuff important. Helmets were a sandy colour or dark brown leather, not light grey. earphones on either were a very dark brown almost black, Goggles rubber a dark grey or darkish green brown. Luft tunics were a medium greyish blue, bit like RAF, not a light blue, thats italian ! The shoulder boards were usually just with gold pips or none on an all aluminium woven base edged in yellow or if NCO blue material edged in 1cm aluminium braid and yellow piping, the Ju88 pilot has a lesser seen motif. Parachute straps, they seem to have a wide olive one under a narrower buff one, they should be just buff. Why all these mistakes in such easily seen material . No doubt they will fix it but I dont understand the lack of research by them , the data is readily available on the internet.
e.g. look here http://www.luftwaffeairfieldre-enactmentgroup.org.uk/Uniforms___Equipment/FlyingEqpt/flyingeqpt.html for helmets and scroll down for parachutes.
and here http://www.rathbonemuseum.com/GERMANY/GERMain.html
as well as google Luftwaffe tunic and there are sites selling them, proving they are not light blue.

The spent cartridge pods were a very dark brown, later in the war they had grey ones. Also concertinal cloth bags of a light olive green colour were used, with a black clasp (like a handbag) along the base. see the first link.

Gunsight is the one in this thread, I say this as I know that is the MG15 sight ! http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4045354

As said though, that aside, nice cockpits

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of that black line on the right hand side middle of the screen?:confused:

Yes, after I made these screenies, I read somewhere on the forum how to get rid of them.

They are the visible part (a text prompt) of some left-over invisible text boxes.

If you hold down ALT and then left click on them, it should then make the text boxes appear. Once that happens, right click on the text boxes and select the close option.

This will then get rid of the black lines.
