Yes, it is still the ONLY game to have a "flyable" Do-17, although it looked pretty much the same as the He111 and Ju88, LOL (Warbirds never finished its )

Good times, even if single player.

The twin-engined Dornier 17, buried in a sandbank, is the last of its kind in the world.

It was discovered when a fishing boat snagged its nets on the wreckage off the coast of Deal, Kent.

The RAF Museum plans to raise it from the water next year and put it on display in London.

It said the plane was in "remarkable" condition. Museum director Air Vice-Marshal Peter Dye added: "It is a unique survivor from the Battle of Britain."

Yes, I am all over that one.
Wrote up some articles for historical magazines, hope they get printed.

I find it very encouraging that the engine supports "exotic" aircraft like the autogyro. Personally, i'm expecting to see gliders at some point in the future.

I went back and re-read some of the previous interviews given by Oleg Maddox on simHQ. He mentioned that the weather model also takes into account the ground formations and to me that hints at ridge lift and wave lift, along with the more common thermal lift.

Of course, gliders of the time were far behind what is possible today, but it would be fun to see a few 3rd party WWII ones. I think it's been mentioned before that you will be able to fly a training mini-campaign in the Tiger Moth. Imagine now if for Luftwaffe campaigns you could train in gliders, just like it happened in real life, but that's something for the future.

As for the current semi-official list, i think it's a very comprehensive selection. If some of the AI aircraft are gradually made flyable it will be even better and the good thing is that most of them can also be used for a possibly upcoming meditteranean expansion.
