Title: I want to sit in my Copilots lap.
Post by: Beefcake on September 10, 2016, 09:49:07 AM: Now that I have your attention. :D

I'd like to request that the pilots view be unlocked and be able to move around the whole cockpit of some of our newer bombers. In some of our older bombers like the B17 the pilot can move his view over and sit in the copilots seat, but in the newer bombers like the B25, Betty, and B29 the pilot view is locked to his seat. In some cases this causes problems as some of the gauges in the Betty are are blocked or hard to see from the pilots position but could be seen from the copilots position.

You would have the visibility/views available in the real aircraft.

The Mosquitos VI and XVI will benefit from this quite a lot.

But you have to switch hands to operate the throttle:)
