After 10 years of IL2, regardless of how many aircraft we have someone always wants more aircraft.
I realize converting a non-flyable isn't as big a job to build as a plane from scratch. It is just that for all the requesting I've often wondered just how interested those users are and remain interested if they do get what they request.
Was it really worth it for some developer to spend a huge amount of time trying to supply those requests? Seriously, I've often wondered why don't developers make a response to those requesting such things and spell it out.

By that I mean... Making the PBY flyable, at least the one in IL2 will take approximately 190 hours of work, and I'll have to acquire 4 java addons to make it happen. Then I'll have appx. 200 hours in beta testing.
So... if you really want this aircraft will you please send a donation to my website at --- allreadyoverworked.com for at least $10 USD. At least, I'll believe my work is worth at least what is donated.
I't really like to do this for you... so please send your donations ASAP, and I will ASAP your flyable PBY.

The Il2 is certainly no exception of course. Every air combat and flight sim is plagued with requests for new and flyable aircraft, EAW, BOBII WOV, WW2 Fighters, FA-18, FS2004, CFS2,CFS3,FSX and on and on.
There are so many additional very valuable things that could be added to a sim like IL2, i.e, AI performance, additional programming in FMB, etc. All things that make the game/sim more exciting and interesting.
TD is pumping out so much stuff, this posting probably won't change anything. I'm basically trying to say, that it takes alot of time to address many requests, and users should reluctantly make requests.... unless they are very determined to use what they request more than a couple time.
I am not speaking for TD. I am speaking for myself in this thread.
