New planes requests (from other threads/please pin it)

[Spudkopf]

....and shoot me down here if you want, yet I'll bring up this old chestnut again, new planes are always great and very welcome no matter what type or force and please never ever stop , however I'm of the opinion that getting all the existing flyable's (both their externals and especially their cockpits) up to the same visual standards as the newer editions in the officially patched default game would only serve to keep this sims longevity ongoing.

I'll admit that I spend most of my time flying Axis types, so from that viewpoint there are stand out types (and especially cockpit wise) that need a just a little TLC. king of these are the Bf109's but the Ju87's, He111 and even the Ju88's could also benefit from a little love, and I'd even settle for just a refresh of the internal textures.

I know there are also several Soviet and Allied types that are equally crying out for that same level of love.

I'd settle for bringing certain planes to a practical standard (missing fuel gauges)

I agree.

Results so far;
~ Squared off the forward carb opening
~ Squared off the 50cal gun fairings
~ Rounded 50cal mgun barrels
~ Lowered the carb scoop
~ Lowered the angle front top cowl right behind the prop
~ redid the rudder (no longer looks like a waffle)
~ added full wheel strut doors (original had 1/3 doors, original mod by ME)

Not-A-Mod :


Also added a couple key features to the Hawk81-A cockpit, infamous prestone warnings among many other things:

Most of the planes on the list exist as mods. It might be possible to get some new planes in the game by reaching out to modders, at least for content that meet's TD's standards.
