No, they admit they have exceeded the poly count. But I agree, french fighters, or better say french planes, are really missing in Il-2...

I have to agree with DT that this is just lazy modeling. I've played around with producing 3d models of single-engined fighters and it's EASY to stay within 3000 polygons and get a reasonably decent-looking plane.

9000 polygons is just ridiculous, and probably means that the people producing the D.520 relied heavily on what Blender calls "sub-surface mesh" modifiers. (I'm not sure what they're called in payware programs like 3ds Max, Maya or Autocad). That's a time saver, and allows anyone to produce decent looking work, but makes for excessively big models.

A bit of history on D.520 from TD's point of view. We have cooperated with the author and reviewed the original 3D model of D.520. It was his first model in 3D Max if I recall correctly. There were many beginner mistakes and we have suggested to him it would be easier to make a new mesh from scratch than to try to fix paintfully the old one. He did start to model from the scratch again and we have granted him an access to our 3rd party development forum in order to guide/help him through the modelling process. He has never used this opportunity to share his WIP work with us. Others did and a good example will be an upcoming model of Ki-45.

Is the F-82 Twin Mustang and/or the Ki-83 out of the question for Il-2 1946?

As you may recall the F-82 Twin Mustang has already been modeled for "Project Galba" the Korean War sim that Luthier's own studio was working on before he took over Cliffs of Dover in total.

I suspect that makes it off limits to TD, and will also make any Korean War aircraft that isn't already in IL2 also off limits to TD.

The Ki 45 will be an excellent addition BTW, but I hope it will be flyable and not just AI, as the Japanese side is really lacking in aircraft.

Dear DT, I have some idea. It will be nice to have output from lights, altimeter, speedmeter... etc. It will give us posibility to create realistic cockpits for IL2. But i know its hard but it will kick IL2 to the next gen.

Sorry, my english isnt very good.
