The only good news would be if a third-party team announce that they will develop the D520. at my knowing, it's not the case today.
... so far... the D520 model for SoW is in oblivion.

Sorry, but i was under the impression the OP was part of a 3rd party team who were planning on a France 1940 add-on or something.

TBH, from what he wrote it's not really clear at all

Actually I think third party developpers are interested, but as long as they don't get any infos on how to build a plane in SoW, of course they can't do anything.

I'm expecting a BoF addon for so long already in IL2. I always asked me why they lost time to model fantasy planes or prototypes and not plane that actually saw action during maybe only 6 months of the war, but at least were really existing.

I want a D520 or a MB152 flyable. And a MS406 if possible. And at least one french twin engine (but please not the Amiot 143....)

Sure, i don't know if this plane must be created for SOW...So, it must have datas to create something...but now still nothing ... is it clear for all? lol

we are all waiting the informations from 1C and Oleg Maddox ...

Well, I don't mind the Amiot beeing created, but if the LeO 451 or the Breguet 693 are created also, I prefer one of them flyable in priority to the Amiot.

It's too slow ! We don't need another TB3.

Of course, Leo 45 and Bréguet 693 are priorities !!

A few suggestions.
The level of detail required for models in SoW will be very high.

1. Engine details. You need detailed drawings of engine layouts, mountings and ancillary components including oil and fuel tank layouts etc. Some engines were used on numerous different aircraft so a bit of research here is useful for more than one model if you research the commonly used types.

2. Airframes. You need internal details of the aircraft structure. 3D cutaway drawings or manufacturing photos or similar. Photos of crash sites often show a lot of structural detail not normally seen.

3. Cockpit details. Good internal photos of each crew position.

Better to focus on one aircraft type and get lots of detail rather than covering lots of types with little detail.

I would love to see some French aircraft models created, not just for BoF but also Syria and Tunisia and retaliation raids on Gibraltar etc.
