Oleg & Co,
thx for the update !
the aircraft look great. good to see more groups of AI flying missions together
one minor question: how tall is the average pilot in BoB ? the hurricane pilots look a bit smaller then the average pilot would have been in ww2, with loads of headroom clearance (which was only the case for short pilots in hurricanes afaik). this might be a minor issue
BUT for the 109, either the pilots are VERY small or we have a a proportion issue again with the aircraft (unlikely since luthier said aircraft were modeled to the milimeter).
BUT we know an average sized male pilot in 1940 was cramped sitting in the 109 cockpit, with his head almost touching, or even touching, the canopy (see earlier video posted on this forum a few weeks ago, showing modern youtube video of a pilot for an english tv show sitting in, and comparing, the amount of room and access to controls the brittish/german pilots had).
historically the germans pilots were VERY cramped in the 109 with little room (unless the pilot was "jockey sized"), yet they seem to have loads of room in the current 109 BoB cockpits
