    This thing looks much better than my Dauntless. The flaps are very well executed. My only complaint is the handling and the machinegun controls. Turrets should be pitch/yaw, not trim sliders.

    Spotlighting and upvoting! Looks good (apart from the insignia looking a lille like pretty flowers) and flies ok (this is a bomber, NOT a fighter, and handles just fine. Really needs the ability to trim her pitch attitude, though.

    a good creation of the actual aircraft, but i'm annoyed that the cockpit is too long, challenging to fly, and an unlikable combat skills (although this is a ground attack aircraft...just wanted to test it) but pretty good. good job
