Hi guys, just asking how difficult would it be to make visual improvements to the B-17 3-D model? I am refering to :
*Circular engine nacelles like the new Dora-11 +13, instead of the 'hexagons' at the moment
*Circular wheels
*More rounded turrets
With the new cockpits and a good skin, the B-17 is great to fly, but the experience is detracted from by the hexa-nacelles in particular. I have the upmost respect for oleg and his team, as he did the best with what he had, but with todays improved hardware maybe this could be improved to take advantage of it

Thanks for your time

They had the ability to make much better models, but because the B17 was originally an AI plane, you wouldn't really notice.

thanks thor. i dont think bomber boy has changed the cowling quality etc. I may have a go at this my self, as most modders are busy with their numerous projects, understandibly. it would involve improving the 3d shape of most of the major circular objects on the B-17, so im brushing up with the 3-d modelling tutorials
