This is something I would absolutely love to see. The Po-2 is one of the most underestimated aircraft of both WW2 and Korea, and I think it would be a fun plane to fly, not only in combat, but also to relax on the great landscapes that we have built here on AAA.
EDIT -
It looks like the pilot needs to be put lower in the cockpit, right now our heads clip the top of the wing.
As for the gunner, I know this would take a lot more work, but maybe Mr. Jolly could take a whack at it? For now, the D3A val gunner suffices, but if we could just take the beautiful new pit for the U-2VS and place the gun from the val in it, it might work a little better with the plane. As it stands now, when you look backwards with your HAT switch, you see the canopy of the Val. I realize this is a lot more complicated than just doing it, that 3D models have to be configured, etc... I just don't want this plane to get short-changed.
There are a couple of other things, like the throttle lever or mixture levers not moving, etc..., though I can live without that. For the full real guys though - the compass doesn't work, it points the wrong way.
