No Sun Spikes, Please

Minor point, but please lose the spikey points around the sun.  They don't look like rays -- just overdone spikes.  Thanks.

I think that is supposed to represent what you would see on the inside of a cockpit canopy.  I do hope they do something though, as it is a bit much at the moment.

Agree, currently you just see the bars where the cockpit is attached too and the outside visual, you never see anything of the glass itself....

...Maybe HiTech will fix it?

That is a tough one.  Since the only view we get is through the cockpit, it is not good to have a better view else where.  It would be tough to 'visualize' the glass with out either distortion effects in bent glass (like around the back of the p51 cockpit), or 'dirty' windows, which sucks.

In  the newly released lo-mac. Perfect is the only way to describe it.
