Even the addition of a new P-38 variant would allow for a possible remap?
We plan an earlier version of the P38, including cockpit.
Remapping is a difficult question. While mirrored things are awfull, it makes sense on larger planes. We probably could remap it, but it would also decrease the resolution, as more things had to be on the same space.
BTW: new P-40 models will have non-mirrored mapping finally.

Question 2; Is there any chance that the 'draw bubble' can be extended or made to 'bleed/fade' into view so that the popcorn landscape can be reduced?
I doubt, 'bleed/fade' is possible with the engine limitations. Enlarging the range maybe. But I think, currently it mostly depends on visibility range per object. After all, it may have a bad effect on FPS.
