I have a problem with the B17E ball turret gunner elevation control with the mouse working in reverse. It is only with the B17E the other 3 work as normal. is anyone else having this problem??. Sad

It's not a bug. on the real thing, the sight was a periscopic one, and everything was reversed. So, to make the turret go up, you go down. I think it was done this way on purpose to reflect the real thing. I'd go into more detail but I'm in a hurry right now. Hope that answers your question Smile

Apparently the early B17E's had a periscope control for the ball turret but later "E's" had the "Sperry" Ball Turret. Information from this site:-
