I noticed that the nose gun turret was turning so far back it was firing inside the fuselage.

Here is what I found corrects this.

I will definitely try it, I haven't played it for a long time, now on linux both CFS2 and FSX work better than on windows.
 
Only the Mk.I in Resources the revised MkI Series III (Bristol Hercules XI engines) model MG-D (pg2), 2 with MkI (Bristol Hercules II engines) DJ-B (2 at pg16) and 1 of Mk.I OJ-B (pg.10) plus an AvHistory DJ-B Mk.I Lights (pg.18 CFS3 British Aircraft).
Love to see the Mk.III with Bristol Hercules VI engines and other upgrades to the Mk.I and Mk.I Series III depicted above if available.
As Lancaster production ramped up the later Stirling versions were used as glider tows; drops to resistance fighters and mine laying none of which mission tasks were any less hazardous to the crews.
