6S.Maraz,
This is just a wonderful model. The plane handles well and it is a true joy to fly. In the spirit of a Beta test, I wanted to offer some feedback.
I tried to deploy flaps, and they worked (message displayed), which the Swordfish did not have, and it felt like it affected the flight model, even though there was no visual queue from the model. That is the only feedback on the handling part.
Concerning the observer seat, I wonder if it would be possible for the release version to have a crew position for the observer. The observer position had both a camara mounting bracket, as well as a sliding bomb aiming hatch. I got that info from a cutaway drawing of a Mk II, so I am not sure if that applies to the MkI. I believe that a position similar to some of the other bombers where there is a bombsight would be good enough.
I second the motion of adding 8x 60 pound rockets to the load, and it also had depth charges as a choice, but this is just a note.
Again, thank you for this great addition.
Can't wait for the release version
Best Regards
