Had a look at Flightgear and there is a combat mod available, as its an addon and not part of the main code it does not annoy those not needing combat capabilities.

Interesting, especially at they have the full world modelled.

Yeah some little GE's. The original engines had an almost 1:1 power to weight ratio, with very low TBO and very high susceptibility to compressor stall. The GE's have approx 6:1 power to weight ratio, are probably something like 5000hrs TBO for the hot section and on condition for the gas generator. Just a slight improvement there.

The two rear facing guns are effective and unlike the CA32, if you shoot at or through your tail surfaces, you will damage your plane.

Thanks for the feedback!

The way SDOE does hit detection on if you can shoot your own plane or not is how far away the objects are you are shooting. If they are far enough away you can register hits on yourself. If the objects are still considered close, the bullets pass right through. There is no way to make every piece detect a hit if you decide to shoot yourself. This is a hard-coded limitation.

Ok, sent the revised J8M1 your way. I still have the He 177, but I have not touched it much I'm afraid... But by the looks of the plane set, it's not in LDOR 2?

I love these old forts. I've never been to Tilbury, but Dover's cool, and my favourite is Nothe Fort down in Weymouth.
