Surely the ability to switch to gunner positions means that if you have enough seats the pilot and observer can jump around alternating between sitting at the controls and one of the gunner positions? It's not quite what Felix was after but I think it would serve... Tongue

You may have hit something there ... a "virtual three-seat" PT-19 or other "two seater" instructor flies plane, while student is in " gunner1" then instructor jumps to "gunner2" (AI pilot takes control) then student jumps to pilot position ... "gunner1" and "gunner2" positions are duplicate "pilot" cockpits with working instrumentation ... Basically, you'd always have an "empty" seat.

For visual model purposes, the "gunner1" and "gunner2" locations are co-located (if that's the case, then the "gunner2" model can be just a tiny box, really "looking" and "gunner1" instrumentation.

Too bad I can't model for CFS3 worth a durn because otherwise I'd try it myself.

As I have the modelling skills of Ubisofts terrain modellists I too couldn't attempt it. But, how hard can it be to add another virtual gunner seat to a model thats already made?

The ball is now in AVhistory's court. Hint hint. Grin

LOL - About the only thing *I* could attempt would be the sample P47 - convert it into a twoseater (there were a few 2 seat jugs made). Basically copy the instrumentation, etc., to the "rear" and re-compile.

It wouldn't be a true "two seater" but you're not trying to emulate the performance of a 2-seater anyway. The "virtual gunner" would not affect the performance anyway.
