More twin Engine flyables in IL-2 1946

The model, and the damage model, will need some upgrading.

As for adding new planes, especially new flyables, to the game all we can hope for is that many more talented folks work with DT!

Oh, and add the Supermarine Walrus, the Vought O2SU Kingfisher, the Curtiss SOC Seagull, the Shavrov Sh-2, and the Mitsubishi F1M to the wish list. And catapult takeoff from battleships. And a pony!

Thanks Sita, just wasted (well as far as the wife is concerned) the whole morning going over the threads you linked above.

Now is it just me or is it a case of just clever modelling, but do I swear that I can detect a slight increase in regards to the modeling limits both internally and externally?

If true, could this open up the opportunity for some of the visual upgrades of existing flyables from the external modding community to then perhaps be considered or reconsidered as potential inclusions in future TD patches, as long as said modders where to approach TD and their mods fell within these suspected revised limitations?

4.13.1 is near to release, but we must solved some problems with packing files.

The Kingfisher has been brought up before and is out of the question (for the same reason as the TBF )
I am not sure about the SOC Seagull though. A F1M would be very nice....
And perhaps proper Catalinas, (both land and amphibious versions) but these may be out of the question as well (somebody kick Grumman in the #$%)

It does appear that NG has sunk its fangs into anything Vought aircraft ever built, even though they no longer own the successor company.

Anything by Curtiss or Curtiss-Wright is fair game.

So far McDonnell-Douglas (successor to Consolidated) seems tone more reasonable about trademark and copyright issues. Also, the PBN Nomad was a different aircraft, built by the US Navy. So, at least some of their stuff seems possible to get into the game.
