NEW B-17 Cockpits (WIP, Stage 1)
#81

DBG_Kabayo Wrote:~S~ Sheep
Your B-17 cockpit looks very good. However there is another
important feature you are leaving out and thats the auto-pilot
that was used when on the bombing run. He would switch this
on for the the Bombadar to use when sighting onto the target.
I have a picture of it. I have mention this to Jinxx a couple of times.
If you want the picture, PM me and we can make arrangement
to send it to you.

Hey Kabayo,

We are going to put it in as well as try to make it functional.
It is one of the key things that Sheep and I have discussed in detail as far as making the switches move when you put the autopilot (level stab in this case) on.

Once we (Sheep for the cockpit, me for the bomb-sight), have the modeling done, I'll start plugging in some of the routines I've been working on for the control movement.

Here's a list of what I've been working on so far with the code:

1. Switch movement and indicator lights for Level Autopilot.
2. Slide movement on Norden Bomb-Sight (Slides move as range to target decreases)
3. Bomb Bay door light indicator when bomb bay doors open. (Will most likely need Fireball's help on this to know what variable he used.)
4. Bomb indicator lights on the bombardier station status panel.
5. Engine Fire indicator lights functioning for cockpit.
6. Engine Fire Extinguisher switch movement when extinguishers used.
7. Rudder, Elevator, Aileron Trim control movement.
8. ?
9. ?
10. ?

Please feel free to post suggestions on what else you would like to see and we'll see what we can do.

S!
