Some fine detail in those shots!

I'm getting more excited as every new detail of BoB gets released. Even with minor issues like the 'gun' camera, it shaping up to be one hell of a sim!

Cheers!

6. Oxygen supply.

Though the Oxygen regulator gages are visible on the instrument panel, the Oxygen lines are, for some strange reason, missing on this WIP screen of the Hurricane.

Rodolphe, you are such a nitpicker. That being said, I encourage you to keep doing it, because I would do exactly the same if I had such a vast knowledge of WWII aeroplane systems and details like you. Also, I'm 100% sure that when Oleg and co. get the first version out, you will be listened to, and the errors fixed. Thank you.

I've got a length of this, albeit repro, like the ones shown. Infact, all of these are repro, apart from maybe the legth of rubber-adapter.
I sent Oleg a lot of reference for RAF flight kit, which he's used. Some of these pictures I sent him! (although not these exact ones). great posting(s) thanks!

no nonsense, pointers verified by period photos.

bravo.

now lets see if the monkeys that bash on keyboards whilst screaming at the monitor can learn from your example?
