could you refine the cockpit windows a bit though?
still looks like the old b17 windows

and the seats should line up with the brace on the two side windows. the interior looks great and is correct but it seems the seats actually sit on the lower level floor. the also angle back a few degrees

also on the horizontal stabilizer could you squeeze in a separate texture for the undersurface of that stabilizer so I can make a olive drab b17g?
maybe in the spot right above it?

You may find the following pics interesting.  Although they were taken from the co-pilots seat it gives a good impression of the views available.  Mirror flip to 'see' from pilots seat

Very very nice! Well there could always be more detail in the cockpit, but Im satisfied with our current B-17! Great work HiTech!

I'd like to echo Citabrias request. It seems extraordinary that with so many component bitmaps haveing gone into the '17 that this was missed.
