Tutorial for the He-111

[Viking]

Yes that was a neat feature. And there was a mechanism that, as the hatch slid backwards, raised a windbreaker in front of the hatch. Perhaps this can be verified in the sim by outside look as the hatch opens?

yes, fantastic how detailed CLOD is but i don't understand the need for this feature ? If a german pilot couldn't see everything through a glass dome, he should have been given a rifle!

The 111 is the only German aircraft without a forward centerline indicator (gunsight) in the cockpit. The nose of the 111 is offset right and the pilot sits offset left so the centerline was very difficult to judge. That's why there's a horizon indicator and a centerline indicator on top of the airplane.

I've been teaching people how to fly and level bomb with the 111 for a long time now guys, if anyone wants to learn to fly it all you have to do is come on the ATAG Teamspeak and find me.

Yes, you can even see that happening in the (part 4) video, at 10.55 minutes.
