Title: skypointers and hooks
Post by: vega on March 04, 2001, 09:35:00 AM

Aircraft artificial horizons in WWII all had skypointers (angle of bank indicators).  W/O these, it is impossible to tell bank angle at high deck angles and makes the AH horizons unrealistic.
Also, after all these revisions, we should have visible tailhooks on the CV based aircraft as we did in WarBirds.

visible tailhook..lol unless you fly a tbm there is no external view in the main so you only see someone else tailhook. whether its visibly modeled or not really who would see it? seems rather silly to make make several posts about something that really is irrelevant.
