You're right. My point was that a number of those gun stations can be reused.

Sperry Ball Turret, Martin Top Turret - B-17

Sperry Ball Turret, Martin Top Turret, Consolidated Tail Turret (as nose turret and tail turret) - B-24H.

For a proper H model we need to model a new A-6B for the tail a new Emerson A-15 front turret, new cockpit, and totally new bombardier station and update the top turret to an A-3D. If we keep it to an earlier block, we wont have to stagger and enclose the waist.

As for the ball in the waist, the ball retraction cylinder, torque retraction need to be redone.

For the external model, we would need to remove the bombardier low viewing windows, fix a few things here and there and update the skin texture itself.

So all in all:

New/Updated pit
New bombardier area
New waist (depending on the variant we want)
Update Top Turret
New Emerson A-15 front turret
New A6B tail.
External model changes to reflect the H block we want.

Yep. If it was easy, you would have already done it. There were a LOT of changes between the B-24D and B-24H or J models and lots of little changes between different production blocks. It must have given USAAF supply officers and crew chiefs ulcers.

Anyhow, I was just being a smartass/greedy beggar. Thanks for your incredible work on the B-24D!

From all of us, thanks.

I simply cannot believe the quality of the work that is the B24. Monguse and team, you will be immortalised as part of the IL2 Legend. Congratulations on the release of your amazing project.

And thank you! From the bottom of all our hearts, thank you.

[FlyingShark]

Yeah, thank you so much.

By all means, give Yadeli a go. It's a neat application and does much more than combine axes.

However, on this occasion TD has got you covered from IL2 4.11 onwards:

Dual throttle has turned out to be little problematic if player has only two throttles and plane

mapped and old power (all) axis unmapped. If player wants to fly plane with more engines
that two, he needs to go to controls menu and map one of the throttle axis to the old power
axis which controls all engines.
When the smart axis feature is enabled and user has only power 1 & 2 mapped and plane has
four engines, the power 1 handles both left side engines and power 2 both right side engines.
With three engine planes, the center engine gets average value of both levers. Prop pitch
works similar way.
To enable this feature, add following in conf.ini under [rts] section.
