@Thor: I agree with you. Arsenal VG33 could have only a place in a "what-if"... if one day all necessary aircraft for BoF are modelled (something I highly doubt...) then and only then people could start to think on "what-if" planes.
.... but in any case, IL2 has shown that no third-party 3D-modellers are interested by BoF (only exception was the external model of the H75)... and we all know M:1C will not do it... so the probability BoF will ever see the day is extremelly low.

with the planned 3.party tool it will be possible in the SoW engine............. but, with the needed time to modell the highly detailed stuff (planes, groundobjects, maps) for the SoW engine, at least at a good standard , im looking forward highly curious what the time will bring from the 3.party modellers !!

a project like a planned BoF scenario, i guess, that would need a lot of teamwork.

and actually i guess, the first 3.party stuff for SoW will look more like the "typical wanted" Mustang and late Spitcrowd......................................... .....
3.Party guys are free in their time and will what to choose to modell - thats good and correct , but not always to my (very) personal desire
and in SoW they even NOT have to ask the Maddox guys if they would include thier stuff in the gameengine. And we all know what even this kind of work brought in the game , from the viewpoint of an historical interested flightsimmer

Well, I think that 3rd party would firstly try to develop 1 aircraft with cockpit and the rest in AI for a start.

So I guess the D.520 or the MS406 would have good chances to be the first french aircraft modelized with cockpit and 2 or 3 others would be just modelized with no cockpit (surely the twin-engine models).

I think most of the developpers wouldn't mind spending so much time on an aircraft as soon as they know that their plane will be implemented in the game. I know that the standard is high and that we will need to wait 1 year per aircraft type, but hey, at least we can hope to get them in 5 years !

IL2 is 7 years old now and will be 8 or 9 when SoW will be released, so I guess I can hope to see my aircraft flying in it on day. (we had so weird aircraft modelized.... P11, Lerche, Ta183, A5m that had actually even less service during WWII than any french plane). So someone will surely model a french fighter at the end !
