If I may make 3 small comments on your great and successful effort:
1. The Bf 109Gs of early 1943 would not have had the tall tail, but the short one.
2. The B-24s would probably still have had the streamlined nose without the nose turret.
3. On grund alert the pilot would have probably have been strapped in.

It's a wonderful show and thank you for both creating it, and then posting it.

All the best,

Well picked up George! You are correct on all accounts.

The flight simulator graphics that I used unfortunately do not have the B-24 D version available As I mentioned previously; research have shown that this Liberator, "Maisie", piloted by the unfortunate Capt Adams, was the first Liberator to be brought down on German soil and was definitely the D model.

With the bf109 tall tail model I slipped up; from about 2000 people being watching this vid the past 3 days you are the first to notice and mention.

Thanks for the complements. it was fun making this as a hobby but the production took me 6 months.
