I'll do a bit of research to check if there is a particular reason we used a turn indicator rather than a turn coordinator. > 2) In addition the Turn-Indicator-Markings on that old style 3D-model > are mis-adjusted: The marks for a Standard-2min-Turn with 20° banking > are at 15° - in the 2D that is correctly centered at 20° banking. That sounds like a straight bug. I'll investigate and fix when I get the chance.
