It works just fine to me. I have noticed some planes fail to work if no startup.ppf file is included. I suggest all planes should have such a file.

What line do I need to add to the keyboard.ini to get X to drop the bomb crutch?

cmdDiveBrakesToggle = X

But it should already be in there if you have the current "standard" keyboard.inp file. If you don't, the arresting hook and canopy may not work either.

Dauntless works fine. Rear gunner was a nice detail. I was wondering if you could model a BF110 and Ju87 using the same basic design.

Here are some data:

Messerschmitt Bf110C-4 Zerstorer Fighter and Bf110C-4/B Jabo fighter/bomber:
Horsepower: 1100 per engine (Zerstorer) 1200 per engine (Jabo)
Top speed: 340 mph (Zerstorer) 349 (Jabo)
Rate of climb: 8.5 min to 18000 ft (Zerstorer) 2255 ft/sec (Jabo)
Ceiling 32810 ft (Zerstorer) 32800 (Jabo)
Range 680 miles (Zerstorer) 528 (Jabo)
Winspan 53ft 4in
Wing area 413 sq ft
length 40ft 4in
height 11ft 6 in

Weight
Empty 9920 pounds
Loaded 15290 (Zerstorer) 15430 (Jabo)

Armament
2x20mm MG FF cannons with 180 rounds per gun, nose mounted.
4x7.92mm MG 17 machine guns with 1000 rounds per gun
1x7.92mm MG 17 machine gun in the rear canopy.
Jabo only:
2x550 pound bombs beneath the fuselage

Later I'll post data about Ju-87
