    oups, I didnt know there is no free version for this most known jet bomber.

    regular question: if I would take some time to create the external model would be there someone another who would bother with the interior model?

    A new and better Ar-234 would be great addition to CFS3. The one in Fire Power is good. There are other interesting aircraft ,(some you can't get any where else),that are included in the install and update that add to the value of FP. Worth every penny,(there's some sites that offer it cheap), and is a must have. A lot has been done recently, (Me-163b and many more to come here at SOH), and that is exciting . A new and improved Ar-234 would be something to look forward to as it actually flew combat missions. PM me if you have any questions .

    Know that feeling. Its not super bad for CFS2 as you don't have to program gauges in the model. Saw with CFS3 you have to have gauges animated in gMax and went (nope_octopus.gif) way from the thought of installing CFS3.

    Animating gauge needles is a trivial task next to modelling and mapping a VC.

    Beggars can't be choosers.

    Take your external model and straighten out odd curves and jagged edges around the windows. Remap VC if you like. Add in a detail seat stick/yoke and panel. Call it a day and if some one complains post the gMax source and tell them to do better or go by a payware version.

    Erwin Welker has made a great one available at Simviation and Flightsim.com.

    ok, did animated Lotfe like looking bombsight for our german birdy.
    it of course doesnt work like the real one, just adds such similar feeling into CFS3
    I took inspiration from there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RMWiWW3s34&t=2s


    the CFS3 is a standard bomsight working/tag view with a bank indicator gauge layer

    a wrong airplane bank angle:




    a good airplane bank angle:

    So if I understand you correctly, the pointer and markings on the right just are bank indicators? I am comparing with the IL2 one here which looks interesting.

    for cfs3 only the pointer is moving, his position determines the airplane left/right bank angle there, the values match.

    I thought the IL2 pointer indicated bombsight elevation?
