Hello gentlemen! 

While intensively using the Bf-109 E4 , romanian colours, Odessa map, in different missions, i have noticed that the mirror is quite useless due to its orientation.

The mirror shows an area much too high behind the plane. IMHO the pilot should be able to see in the mirror at least the tip of your rudder, as to open an area hidden by the headrest/seat armor.

So the mirror should be positioned more tilted towards the pilot, as to show a lower area behind the aircraft.

I would kindly ask the technicians at the airfield to correct this problem as I don't have the proper screwdriver!

Haven't noticed this issue al any other mirror equipped plane.

Thank you!

Of course i don't expect a possible fix to this until the next update, but i would really appreciate an answer/opinion. Thank you !

It's been reported, I can share that much right now.

The artificial horizon or attitude indicator in the P51D-15 mustang in Bodenplate is missing the top white notch or line indicating the datum for bank. Normally you align the missing top white line with one of the fixed ones to adjust for different bank angles. It is correctly represented in Normandy expansion in the  P51b attached references! 
best regards!

Hello Team!

I started flying on the P-40E-1 and found an oddity in the trim control setting. The control of the elevator trimmer cannot be set to discrete signals like encoder or keyboard. At the same time, the rudder trimmer control works fine from the keyboard or encoder. As I can see, the construction of trimmer controls are quite identical and encoder controls should be great choice. When the elevator trimmer is connected to the analog axis, it begins to react, but in very strange way, the trimming percentages do not match the percentages of the axis, and it is almost impossible to use the trimmer.

Encoders have a limited functionality in GB - you'll need to map them as a button input instead of an axis.

Do you see something like this in your mirror?  You have to have the mirror set on a higher resolution (big resource hog) or you won't see any secondary objects, just someone on your tail.

Thx for the reply. 

I know what you say, but no, that's not the case. 

The mirror, set on medium, shows an upward section of my rear. If I pull really hard, going towards vertical, I can see the ground, eventually.
