P-61 Black Widow Please

[MadThor]

Dearest HT Folks,

Greetings from Plano;  Please consider modeling the Black Widow night fighter.

Despite it's role as a nightfighter, it was one of the most heavily armed aircraft of the war and included advanced control features such as spoilerons.  Perhaps modeling it accurately and with all of it's actual features would be too complex a task, but as one test pilot for Northrop quipped:  "She is one very fast and very maneuverable hot-shit aircraft".

Those interested in more info on the BW can visit http://home.att.net/~jbaugher1/p61.html
A basic website that offers info on all the variants of the aircraft, including performance charts, weapon loads, etc.

Thanks,
MadThor

thats a lot to ask for programming wise due to the P-61's unique control surface setup...anyway the beaufighter was of nearly equal armament (4 x 20mm + 6 x 0.303) and the He219 was @least equally  armed ([2 or 4] x 30mm + 2 x 20mm somtimes w/ 2 x 30mm Schräge Musik) and a bit faster than P-61...however were i a WWII combat pilot P-61 is the bird i'd have wanted to be in - no combat losses in ETO...don't know how much bombs Beaufighter or He219 could carry - P-61 carried 6400 lbs worth

i was just wondering how, if the P-61 was introduced to AH, the controls for the spoilerons would be set up w/out losing aileron control or putting it on the keyboard (which is a pain in the oscar - i alread use  <-  and  ->  for rudder control and it aint too good). this lead me to wonder how it was done in a RL P-61.
anyone know?
