The sheep are overmodeled. The Knits left the place a mess and the B26 (for the uninformed out there) is NOT a fighter.

aside from that; kewl.

Agreed.. the new detail on the terrain is fabulous  

A small whine though.  B26 gunner positions seem to be all over the place compared to the B17.  (Maybe it's just my setup)

e.g.  in the B17, key 4 takes you to the tailgunner, key 3 for the top turret etc

I've noticed in the B26, key 4 take you to a side gun and I think key 2 is for the tailgunner.  Really wish there was some kind of standard key arrangement for buffs.

As I said, maybe its just my keymap.

Jekyll,
Edited my post after rereading your comment on the gunner positions for the B-26.  It is a little confusing after using the B-17.

The contour rolling terrain is great!  It prolonged my one of my lives by 23 seconds last night!!


Kudos to the HTC team!!

To all who shot me down last night, and the list is long, take this  .  

NOTE: Please watch the smiles guy until the tounge sticks out!


Was a great time!!

I have a feeling this won't be the last negative comment on the B26... I flew the 20mm/2x50 loadout on the 109 last night, and it was easy to slide under the belly, climb up sharply, and gut B26's untouched.

Either the pilots will learn how to evade better or the will fly low and use the new terrain. I will try a low-level assault tonight!

  I used the exact same technique last night in the 109 to kill a B-26,however the 190 is a different story. Check the JG2 website later today for a small A/H film I will post in the hanger-it tells a different story.

GREEEEEEEEEEN with jealousy, wasn't able to get on last nite, could one of you post the README.TXT here so I can see what changes were made while I'm here at the slave camp?  Thanks! (If rolling terrain and B26 was only changes, don't bother, I know that much already from reading this thread)

WHOOPS! Never mind, someone did post it below  thanks!

A quick word on the b26 gunner positions:  They are not any where near complete.  I'm sure you've noticed that there is still a lot of interior modeling to be done, and also the range of motions for the guns also need a lot of tweaking.

I can tell you the 109 now climbs like a scalded cat, making the belly approach very easy to do. Haven't flown anything else yet.
