The new engines look great, but could someone please cut the gear doors out so the Lancaster ones arent used? (That looks stupid IMO) Also, the tail wheel doesnt turn and the back side of one of the flaps is transparent. If these minor things are fixed, the Manchester would FINALLY be done.

gear doors are done. I've mailed an updated .SM to GT for testing and posting.

Don't know why the other stuff is iffy....I only changed the engines and top turret! These things must have been sitting there waiting for somebody to take notice!

Time for another fix! These will be fixed for the next release, along with a new pile of damage modelling.

Dunno if the Manc has the same nose turret as the Lanc, but I think its 3d model needs some work - my AI loves to crank that thing hard to one side and it looks retarded when you realize that when the turret came unglued a while back no back section was added to account for the swivel. That's not a flame on the guys that fixed the turret in the first place (kopper et al I believe), but it's still a weak point on the Lanc, and possibly on the Manc too if they share the turret.

I am taking notes !!!

A new turret for the Lanc / Manc is now on my 'TO DO' list!

The thing sucks big time from the day it was released. The turret should be far more round, and should look like it rotates!

Since the turret was unchanged, for the Manchester, I will release a lanc update which I will paste into the Manchester! Too birds with one stone....er turret!

Argon, if you can wait a little, I will try to roll up all the fixes. Otherwise it's going to get a little messy with versions flying all over the place!

At least I know now what needs doing!

the list seems to be:

Gear doors....
Flaps.....I think this is probably the section that sits on the engine nacelle
Front turret is naff
Find out what has happened to the tailwheel!

Then, this one WILL be done!
