What is wrong with this picture?

[Flying Pencil]

This is for Oleg and Team to decide what to do with it.
(SoW is still leaps and bounds ahead of other sims I have seen, well done!)

It's not nitpicking, its making a game/simulation good enough to last decades, not just years, and be THE standard for flight sim!
(I really do not like Mickysoft Flight Sim / CFM)

In last weeks update this image was posted:


This is the errors:
1. The oil cooler scoop, the red circle in above picture, is attached to the engine mount, not the airframe. See the cross section below. I have other images to confirm this mounting.


2. Propellers missing. Do17 use aluminum made VDM propellers.

3. Engine burning. Yes, a lot will argue about it, but there is simply no fuel for it to burn!
It WILL smoke like a pot house.

4. Missing control surfaces as "damage" (big gripe). I have looked at hundreds of war damaged aircraft, and it is extremely rare to ever seen a completely detached control surface. Most of time the surface will be in tatters or burned away, but part of is still holding on by the hinge!
(It is a simple, expedient way in games to show damage, but with the technology we have now, it should be eradicated).

5. It is hard to tell in the screen-shot, but I believe the bomb bay doors are mis-modeled (yeah, this one means nothing to an AI plane, but will when its player controlled!).


I know this is not high priority, but serious gamers do want the details done right.
