Oceanic Wing Mod Team did at least one model for the Lancaster, along with a lot of other goodies for IL2 (Commonwealth Boomerang, Westland Whirlwind) which looked to be well along.

Unfortunately, some or all of their work was destroyed or derailed by the 2010 New Zealand earthquakes. I'm not sure that we'll ever see the fruits of their labor.

OW never contacted DT. Boomerang is in DT archive too (original model in early stage at lod0). Whirlwind can be interesting ...
and Lancaster by OW was higher poly what I remember, reworked from other game. Not direct IL2 quality there.

When is the readme file ready?

It's ready now, but we other forum members took a vote and decided that YOU may not have it! ;-)

Yup. Got mine already. Very cool stuff coming in v4.12, much of which hasn't yet been revealed by DT.

Mwahahaha!

Just love the spirit of this community! We're all waiting impatiently for 4.12. But we can have a laugh at the same time!

Exactly! :)

Impatient?

Me, the Curiss fan boy?

Just sitting here calmly waiting for my Hawk 75.

NO problem at all. Just sitting here waiting for my Hawk 75.

Calmly.

Waiting.

Hawk 75...




GIVE ME MY HAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*AHEM*



Ok, that's better...

Here's a little something to hold you over:
