Looking forward to trying it out (not looking forward to managing two engines with CEM. I have enough trouble keeping a single engine plane airborne.) I hope they add some weathering and dirty up the engine housing a little bit. Looks a little too shiny and new right now.

This plane looks awesome! Its the one Ive been waiting for most. I love bombers. The some what unconventinal cockpit of the HE-111 realy appeals to me. I loved it in CLOD and expect to love it in BOS too.

On most of situations you handle both engines as one.

Unless want a differential traction for ground maneuvers, or stop a damaged engine, one dont
handle a engine on two engine plane individually.

Reminder me a episode in CloD, a FLAK burst damage the gear reduction on Blenheim right engine, what make propeller spinning out balance and shack the plane crazy.

I try stop the engine with "slow engine cut off" (or something) lever, but the windmill on propeller re-start the engine (and the shaking).

After many trials - and altitude lost - I remember of magnetos switch's and turn down the ones for the damaged engine, that finally stopped working.

Things like this make two engines planes (and CEM) fun. smile

She's a lovely target smile

Personally I'd be terrified in a cockpit like that, floating above little more than panes of glass thousands of feet in the air getting shot at.

I never really thought of the 111 as lumbering, it only has 2 engines, same as a Ju-88, after all.

Now anything with FOUR engines, yes, lumber away. smile

Instruments easy readable, with pre set snap view (keypad Del + Keypad #) for some, like compass, trims.



He 111 "Fritz'sight", reticle different from Pe-2 one, and with option for "auto-drop":

Indeed not - I did a few loops with it earlier.

This is still a beta. 777 have yet to model the Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator.

It will come with the career.

Lol, You better make sure to have the seat in the upright position, your meal tray stowed, your safety harness strapped tightly, plus have taken your air sickness pills.
