[Sita]

for now we have Channel map in early stage development... and i hope that for time which need to finish it some of us will make Spit MkI

[sgt fury]

i am preparing a big number of skins for the hurricane and the spitfire MKI squadrons from various airfields . i will get them ready and let you know off progress . I will include the squadrons of all the major airfields in the south . my name is AG.skins and i put up my work at M4T only. i do both default and mod work. i am releasing a big skin pack of hurricanes squadrons over the mediterranean soon covering Malta , Egypt , Lybia and Crete . i play mainly 413.2m , MODPACK and just recently i added COD . thank you for the news.

That would be wonderful! But please, add a later Hurricane I too, with somewhat higher performance than the current early one. No 3d modifications are needed, only a bit of FM tuning.

can't promise anything for now ...

for now let us hope for 4.13.3 development update soon

+1, but some DM tuning might also be needed, as well as some very minor tweaking of external 3D, and some revision to cockpits.

Assuming that the Hurricane Mk. I in the game represents late 1939 production, as shipped to the FAF during the Winter War, other marks of Hurricane I would be roughly as follows:

March 1940 production - 12 lb. emergency boost (vs. 6 lb. for early production, for up to 5 minutes, using 100 octane fuel). Probably the easiest new variant to add.

May 1940 production - As above, but also armor plate behind pilot's head and seat.

Mark I "Tropical" (June 1940) - As above, but Vokes air filter added.

August 1940 production - As for May 1940 production above, but Schilling orifice, improved fire protection for fuselage fuel tank (earlier version of the Hurricane were very vulnerable to fuselage fuel tank fires which could penetrate to the cockpit burning the pilot, especially when the plane was hit from the front).

September 1940 production - Improved radio. IFF added. Radio aerials from rear fuselage to horizontal stabilizer. Radio aerial from radio mast to rudder removed and radio mast slightly revised. Slightly reduced top speed.

I think a may 1940 production one would be the best to include. Of course the later variant with the schilling orifice would be even better, but in my opinion that would be a little bit silly. (Mk.IIs and Spitfire MK.Vs have engine cut out when affected by negative G, but earlier Mk.I not?)
We absolutely need a fine representation of the real hero of the battle of britain, the Hurricane I.

What I would like to ask is, there is a Hurricane 1938 in the list, but its somewhere near the Hs-129 and not located (by name) near the other Hurricanes.

Is it possible to relocate it next to the other Hurricanes?

Why don't you just change your list to alphabetical order?

That hurricane is for the axis,thats why it is in with the hs129 etc.it is for the finns, winter war against russia and the continuation war.
