Would it be possible to increase the pop-up distance of ground objects?
I always found the sudden pop-up of objects annoying.

Another thing that could be corrected easily is the location of oil smoke for La7: it appears exactly there where the La5 radiator would be. Problem is that La5 and La7 cannot share common location for the smoke effect since the La7 had its radiator located far behind under the fuselage and not directly under the Ash82 engine as is now.

Hi Team Daidalos

Would it be possible to look into the gunsight possition on the P47-D10 and P47-D22? It is quite apparent that this is set much too low. The sight glass is mostly filled with engine cowling and the virtual pilot drops his head possition down as he moves his head forward to look through the gunsight. There is no way to use full sight deflection!

No pilot would go into combat with his sight setup like it is in the razor back P47's. If I was a CO and my P47s were delivered in this condition I would order the crew chiefs to make new sight brackets before I cleared these aircraft to fly!

The sight needs to be moved up so at minimum the bottom of the sight glass clears the top of the engine cowl. Obviously the location of the pilot's head possition will need to change too when he looks through the sight.

While we are at it the early razor back P51's could use the same sort of loving.

Cheers and thanks in advance.

Didn't realize the P-51B/C were so wrongly modelled. So add the gunsight to the wings and we'll get that bird sorted out!

Since we are discussing new cockpits for the P-47's.....Is it possible to add the M or N variants for 4.13 or is that crossing into "Northrop Grumman territory?"

+1 for P-47N. But "M" isnt too important I think. A "C" would be much better.

Bingo... but years ago we did manage to get Oleg to give us the P-47D high boost model which is closer to the P-47M in performance.

Just for the record, Republic Aircraft was never part of the N-G portfolio. It got bought out by Fairchild, which then merged with Dornier and then went bankrupt. It then got bought by a investment company which sold off the pieces to an Israeli company.

So, it's probably safe for TD to proceed with reworking the P-47 cockpits.
