BLENHEIM COCKPIT LAYOUT
The Blenheim IV as depicted in CLOD has an unusual arrangement with the Boost gauges. I have only ever seen this particular layout in a single image it is NOT NORMAL. There is a hole in the left hand side of the front instrument panel. This is in fact where the Port Engine Boost gauge should be. See attached jpg. To fix the issue move the present Port Boost gauge up into the hole. Then move the current Starboard Boost gauge to where the Port gauge at present is. then put in a blanking plate where the moved Starboard gauge was. I have attached a screen shot from CLOD with the corrections added. In addition I have included a jpg from the Blenheim MKIV pilots notes indicating the usual arrangement. See jpg below that illustrates the error and the suggested fix.





Posted on Bugtracker as Bug 416 but the image links dont work over there.

Good catch IvanK. It's been this way since release and i never noticed it, despite all my fumbling and investigating with the Blenheim a few months ago

Probably our cockpit is modeled after a restored museum piece and that's how this gauge placement error slipped in (actually, our Blenheims are based on the Canadian Bolingbroke versions, could also be a factor).

In any case, i'm all for it getting fixed. It should make the gauges easier to read too.
