Observer view of gauges is gorked....
« on: February 20, 2002, 12:15:26 PM »
When flying as gunner/observer in a B-17, many gauges in the cockpit are either inoperative or don't make any sense.  The compasses don't agree, engine instruments appear inop or read wrong, etc. etc.  Any chance of fixing this?

The same situation for watching films.

The gauges don't read right and the control surfaces do not move.

Hopefully this will all be corrected in 1.09. As it is now, most training films are junk because all the stuff you want the student to see isn't there.

It won't be changed, none of the information needed to show things like throttle and control surfaces are sent.

Only item that needs to be fixed is the compas.

while i dont miss the gauges as a gunner i do have another request that is kina related


hitech can you please make it posssible for the gunner to see the damage list?

i think a gunner would be able to tell if he or his gun was dead...or be able to look out the window and see the wing missing etc...

thx
