Now you can only do this on the ground as you use the bomb_bay key. I can't get it to move the cockpit so it is only an external thing. I could animate a car or something going out too. Just thought it was fun.

Not sure if this was used for paratroop operations but it will make great what if missions!

Oh

You can't use it in flight as the plane goes all crazy. This is purely an airfield use only feature.

Probably acts like flaps creating a nose up or down effect with a lot of drag!

When the aircraft is finalised, can you run the BDP Nuker program for the Seadler from Avhistory to clear some unnecessary clutter in the game?

Ted, I've just aquired a little book which show a Ju 90 flying with rear door open and doing cargo airdrops. It didn't say if this was tried with the 290, bu who knows?

That little feature of this aircraft has a lot of uses, there were not many aircraft in WW2 that had this ability..The ways it is a advantage could be used to good effect..I can only gress as to how it might have worked out with proper engineering..
Having it on this aircraft is a stroke of GENIUS..
WOW...
BRAVO to all involved,,This is truly TOO COOL..

:salute:

Rear Door

Ok, The rear door can be made to work one of two ways. One like a bomb door and stuff can fall out. Or like the video and just show off the unique feature. Let me know the way you want it for the transportation version.
