Many of the suggestions have been made before, and I doubt that TD will suddenly decide to make a B-26 or whatever just because someone asks for it. They have all been involved with IL-2 for years, as far as I can tell, and have a pretty good idea what the community would like. They also understand the limitations and practicalities of adding new aircraft better than most.

THere is no harm in dreaming, but I think realistically we are unlikely to see more than say 8 or 10 new aircraft per year, at the outside, unless more people get involved. I'd like to help myself, but although I have some computing skills I'm in no position to commit to anything as long-term as these projects. Probably there aren't that many of us who can, so the rest of us will have to accept what we're given. So far, I have no complaints, far from it.

It will be interesting to see how involved adding new aircraft to SoW:BoB will be - I suspect this will be even more complex, if done properly.

I see where you're coming from for sure. Even 8 to 10 would be impressive and I hope that everyone takes a realistic view on this. We're lucky to get what we are and it is truly fantastic.

Many of the aircraft showing up now were being worked on years ago and they have resurfaced. Which is great! Lots of work was put in then but there just wasn't time to make them a reality at the time.

Storm of War aircraft appear to be much more labour intensive. That said at least being able to import them into the game using provided tools will give some added incentive to work on them. They will definitely be multi-year projects in many cases.

Thanks for the update!

Could you also update the schedule? I need to plan my vacations and I do not want to get stuck with 4.09 for the whole week

Thanks for the great update! I look forward to the Hs129 with great eagerness. I have one question concerning the Hs129B-3 gunsight. I have seen pictures of the B-3 with a combined reflector/telescopic gunsight (I can't remember the designation of it). Are there any plans to implement that with DT's Hs129B-3?

Thanks,

This have been discussed alot. References show following situation:

Half of the few B-3 version, that saw action (~40 total) were refit B-2's, carrying their old ReVi, for the other half real B-3 there is not one reliable photograph, that shows any periscope sight (ZFR-3A)... in fact we found no photograph of a B-3, just manual drawings.

So the knwoledge situation about the use of the periscope sight is very unsure (we welcome any further reference, if you have) and because we are not able to 100% correctly simulate the look of a zoomed reticle outside the canopy (the pilot probably wasn't able to press his eye on the lense), we decided to skip this for now and stick with the ReVi12C, simulating only converted B-2's.

Your work looks excelent! (all updates)

Thanks for the video! I really can't wait to do some mud moving with the Hs129! Looks really exciting!

An amazing show of virtual airpower!!!

Kudos to your comendable work.

I might have a photo of one. Will check.

You gave me all your Hs129 collection long time ago, Luke (dunno if you remember). So that this cockpit could be realized, is also because of your efforts. Good to see you around.
