SM.79 in 4.09m

[Fergal69]

noticed the handle turning when putting the wheels down - using the manual approach makes sense seeing as it a handle to turn to lower the wheels, rather than moving a level or switch & they come down automatically. at least I get to use the manual gear down key now!

also the I-16 wheels don't come down with the gear down/up key I have assigned,

Since the first IL-2 I-16 (and F4F) don't have automated landing gear.
You need use manually funcion to lower/raised, and hit key... 52 times.

Or make a macro for this with your joystick software, or soft's like SVMapper, NewView...

The "open cockpit' command does not work for me. I flew a Corsair for a minute and opened and closed it's cockpit a few times to confirm I was using the correct command. Then I flew the SM.79 as both upper and lower gunner and the command did not work. It only opens for me when a enemy approaches. Why are people saying the command works when it doesn't? Unless I have a strange and unique bug that only affects my game??

U have to open and close the hatches from the pilot's seat, not when u are sitting in one of the gunners positions.
