They sound okay, but I'm totally deaf so can't really say if there's any change!

Taxiing speed feels too fast despite having the throttle at 2-3%.

How is the new sound package?
Click to expand...
You don't have to download & install this new update for the sound, dvj, although if you have a really good morning you *might* think that the Cyclones *may* sound a little better..

Still....

the tires are stuck (MP must think that the 'weight bulged' tires are more important than turning wheels..). Still transparant bottom turret. Still childern crew (both pilots seem to have grown up a bit...? ). They've put their O2 masks and goggles on while on the ground.. Still no 3D spinning propblades (particularly heartbraking view from the cockpit..). Still holes everywhere (war damage simulation ?....) In short: still not 'Early Access' worthy..

@MP: please stop working on the crew figures (just scale 'em up a bit), actually the're the best looking feature of your B-17 model. You must know too that there are waaaay more important issues to fix, right ??

Thank you!

I actually missed this trip to England because my wife was almost 8 months pregnant believe it or not. The Belle arrived to Duxford on July 4th, 2008, baby came August 19th... So I could have made it work...... if only someone could have convinced the wife of that at the time! HA!
