B-17F nose navigation bubble
« on: July 26, 2013, 06:32:45 PM »

Hello to All,

I am looking for a modded B-17F with the nose navigation bubble (like on the G models). Perhaps it has already been created and out there somewhere but for the life of me I have not been able to find anything...

If non existing, then perhaps it would be a cool request ;)

Thanks

I think your referring to the navigation bubble just in front of the wind screen, It was used by the navigator to navigate by the stars.

Both F and G model of the B-17 had them.

If that is what he's looking for then he's out of luck cause

Thanks guys,

IL2 Crazy fan, you are absolutley right, an image is worth a thousand words. Noted for the next time.

VF111Sundowner: Yes, thanks, I was asking for the navigation bubble and was hoping this could be modded but Gumpy clarified that.

Appreciate the replies
