Handley Page HP.52 Hampden Mk 1 1.3 by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.3!
My version of Handley Page's medium bomber HP.52 Hampden Mk 1.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This bomber was widely used by the British during the first years of WW2 until it was replaced by the four-engine heavies like the Lancaster. It for example took part in the first night raid on Berlin and the 1,000-bomber raid on Cologne.
It has a crew of four and it is armed with 1 fixed forward machinegun operated by the pilot, 1 flexible machinegun in the nose operated by the navigator/bomber, 2 rearwards machineguns in the dorsal (back) position and 1 rearward machinegun in the ventral (belly) position.
It also carries 16 250 lb bombs for a total of a 4,000 lb bomb load which makes it a bit nose-heavy under 300 kph.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brakes.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
Hold X/Invert steering: Bomb bay doors.
L/Headlights: Landing lights.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine gun.
Fire action 2/Num 2: Bombs.*

The other machineguns are controlled from their respective seat** with Alt + Arrow keys or Mouse and Fire action 1/Num 1.

Camera 1: Nose machinegun.
Camera 2: Dorsal machinegun.
Camera 3: Ventral machinegun.
Camera 4: Bomb sight.

* Bombs will drop in sequence and it takes about 4 seconds for all to drop. A green light in the cockpit will inform the pilot when all have been released and it's safe to close the bomb bay doors.

** The ventral gunner is seated upside down due to lack of space and so they are not 100% dependent on a camera for sighting.
