This is a revamp of 5.3 plane pack's Lancaster. It has three crew. The pilot's head follows the 'stick' position and the flight engineer's head tracks targets. The engineer's arm assists the pilot with the throttles and the pilot's arm moves as the bomb bay is opened. The bomb aimer lies prone in the nose section using his bomb sight. It adds a little more realism to the 'lanc' and it's neat seeing three chutes deploy when you shoot it down.

I've modified the damage model, not only giving a little more realistic airframe strength but the engines / props do not fall off but either loose RPM and smoke or feather / bend. If an inboard engine suffers maximum damage it's landing gear detaches, making landing back at base interesting. I've also added visible fuel tank leaks and fixed the oil pressure gauges. The aircraft can be flown from the flight engineer's position and the pilot has a new seat.

Thanx for the great work!
The only problem I have with this version
of the lanc, is that it requires a lot of
memory (as mentioned in the readme).
Could we have a version with modified
damage model, but without the additional
crewmembers??

Keep up the good work!

Have now posted a 'damage model only' zip (no new crew members) which may or may not resolve the memory usage issue.
