Someone was kind enough to make a fixed file for us 4.09 users.  This should fix the problem with shell ejection on the 3x MG17 load, and correct the 15mm MG151 guns to be 15mm instead of 20mm, for those interested.

correct the 15mm MG151 guns to be 15mm instead of 20mm

I had a chuckle on that one.
How exactly do you "correct" a what-if loadout?

Easy,
make them match description.

Description was 15mm MG151.  Loadout was 20mm MG151/20.
Change loadout to match description.  Bam!  Fixed.

As provided, there were two identical "what if" loadouts with different descriptions/names but identical guns.

In an associated thread, I recently provided a small amount of documentary information regarding the armaments actually used in some He 100s:

I neglected to mention a drawing I acquired some years ago. The drawing, which has every appearance of being a copy of a factory sectional view - rather, a partial sectional view, showing interior details in the mid-section of a Block 1 He 100 A - shows an MG 17 in a tube mount in the wing gun bay, and the outline of an MG 151, apparently fitted with an ammunition drum, in the motor-cannon position. I'd originally thought that the motor-cannon in the drawing was an MG 151/20, but a word from a correspondent led to the realization that the drawing in fact depicts an MG 151 in its original, 15 mm configuration. As stated in the reply to the above-linked thread, some He 100 As were temporarily equipped with experimental mounts for an engine-mounted MG 151, but as far as I know, the gun itself was never installed in an He 100. I should also note that while I haven't made any exact measurements, I know that the muzzle of an MG 151 or MG 151/20 somehow fitted into the wing gun bay would have extended a considerable distance ahead of the leading edge of the wing.

If it was fitted with a drum it's been an MG/FF.
151s are belt fed and the corresponding belts can't be rolled up to fit into a drum.

Once again - He shoots! He scores! I need to spend more time thinking and less time editing on the fly. What I meant to say was that the motor-cannon in the drawing (see below) has what I'd thought at first was a drum magazine on top. The object is set vertically to the gun axis, which had me wondering - and that's how I found out, after asking a German colleague, that it's not an MG/FF, but instead an MG151 with a box or bin type magazine on top, and a shell/link ejection chute below. (Note also the fume extractor tube angling forward and down just abaft the supercharger)



Thanks for the word, Storebror. Once again, I stand connected. 

[SAS~Storebror]

Confirmed. That drawing should illustrate the test installation of an MG-151 on He-100V1 (which was equipped with an interchangeable engine lafette for either MG-17, MG-131 or MG-151).
