As far, as I know, it wasn't built, or even started.

Britain has similar issue, at least for the war-time. Since British pilots were trained in Scotland, far from front-lines as well. And this area of the Britain is not modeled on the game map, too.

Crying shame.

I can already hear the flood of posts rushing in that will be full of blame for unbalancing the plane set like that right from the start.

I would hardly call that an issue. Neither for the German side. There could be smaller maps created to represent a training environement with the correct country side for each region.

No flyable Anson.

I am crushed.

No Flyable Anson for now. We will be able to add our own cockpits, ...right Oleg?

Yes, but for them to be used on the official online server they must meet Oleg's standards, and once SoW is released I am done with mods. Period.

So if it's some typical hacked up cludge of a cockpit it won't make it in, and conversley if it is way over done in terms of polygons, like many of the current crop of mod cockpits, we won't see it either.


Modders please note this.
