SBD Dauntless released.

You are a true Gentleman and an absolute hero I only wish some other developers would pay us the same courtesy! THANK YOU MATE!!! :salute:
 
Dont worry guys I have not forgot about the Patch.

We're just trying to figure out why the on some systems the bomb sticks out of the fuselage.


Cheers

Just took it up for the first time today. A real treat. Excellent job by the developers!! I posted some pics in a seperate thread below......

Some knobs don't work

After recently buying and installing the SBD my problems include:
Unable to drop bomb even though I've found and used the bomb release lever.
Unable to open the cowling with the cowl knob. Must use keys:ctrl-shift v or c.
Unable to move landing or diving flaps.
I'm very happy with the exterior and interior, but the inability to use the special features
mentioned above takes away from the plane.
Any suggestions?

Probably a dumb question; but what opens a .rar file?
The textures download as "SBD_1024_textures.rar"

Thanks...

That was not a dumb question....it was a smart one....and I wish I had asked it several months ago as I tried to figure out what a RAR file was.

I eventually figured it out but it became my research hobby for a while. :)

as for the various levers if you have a mouse with a wheel as the third button, whilst holding down the left button move the wheel up/down.

Thanks Bruce for the tips. All is well now. Why in the world does a designer spend month's on a model and NOT spend an hour documenting its features? Does he think he wants to give us enjoyment finding them on our own?
