A Christmas update, finally able to get back and not once but twice!

Thanks for the update. THe ground vehicles look nice!


At first I thought Olga was going to be in the game LOL. But you guys should put her in as the rest of you.


some really knowledgeable people helping with the German cockpit! Yeah! Props to you!


Like the easter egg thing of Santa . . .




Mission Santa's Little Helpers: Escort Santa and prevent nightfighters on both sides from getting a shot on him.



Mission, Grinch: You must get through Santa's escorts and force his landing.


Future forum discussion:



In response to: SOW's SANTA = 1946's Lerche, Faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, able to take hits equal to 3 bombers. . .


Ok here's a small FAQ on the Santa missions:


Guys, IT'S SANTA. Of course his flight modeling is different. HE has to land on a roof top, hence the FM.

He can fly through the fog w/out radar and not hit anything, because he has Rudolph!

The reason why Santa can take so much damage is the FM treats each reindeer as an engine, therefore each reindeer must be hit. Santa can fly on one deer.

Oh and BTW killing Rudolph won't turn off the fog navigation Santa has.


Santa disappears from radar / sight / ground clutter too uber / can't find him in the city issues: Remember Santa lands indiscriminantly on residential houses / apartments etc to drop off gifts. You can't catch him in the sky when he does.

Santa is too fast / I used AAA and even the ME 163 can't catch him / Santa climbs too quick.
The only time where someone b1tched about realism, LOL. Santa FM is fast, he has to fly around the whole world at night. Santa

I take damage when coming on Santa's six, and no one is around. Look at the screen shots below. See the green guy in the santa hat? The elves can throw random toys or use BB guns / fire crackers.

Santa puts up a good defense.
They modelled the reindeer moving up and down, as if they are riding a wave, they porpoise up and down, so you have to time your shots.

Santa has a fuel cheat!
Santa runs off the spirit of Christmas, so his FM has unlimited fuel checked.
