This has no sense until the sdk will be released to the public. With only third party 3d models you have nothing right now in the sim.
Anyway I´m a professional 3d modeler, and I think to model an aircraft at COD standard detail level cost way more than 1000$ It is a full two moths work, the least, maybe more, and that if you already have all the necessary blueprints and right and complete reference material.

thanks Ailantd.

A$1,000 = 32,000 Rubles, which could purchase a .. (1) house, (2) car, (3) can of coke ???? I realise 1,000 isn't much but hoping others might contribute too and encourage modellers ?

The defiant would be good to fly because no other aircraft was a turretted fighter, where both pilot and gunner had to work as one, otherwise ... :evil:

Doesn't the russian crew follow these forums??

Not the only one. What about Blackburn Roc. If that was modelled it would be a relatively small effort to also produce the Skua Dive Bomber version.

Agreed, some ppl have yet to realise just how much work has gone into the cockpits.

I am surprised that paid addons for MSFS or DCS P-51 or A-10 do not have same cockpit quality. They have to make one aircraft only and still can not afford or do not care to go into that much detail.

You mean $10,000...

I would stick another £50 in if someone could solve my CTD problem.

I think it might have all folded when it became clear, based on the rates for the completed project, just how much it would cost to get further stuff modelled. Might have been a russian project, anyone else remember that?

The Pe-8 bombers that has been added in 4.11.

But that did cost a fair amount more - 6000 US $, though given the greater complexity of CoD I would expect the same amount for an exterior model alone. Cockpits and gunner stations adding to that.

EXCLUDING texturing and animation coding.

Still, for a world wide community that is not alot of money, IMO.

Buy the sequel/expansion ;).

I would be more than willing to donate regularly (or pay for a pre-order if taken on by the official developer) for development of a flyable Lancaster, or possibly a B17. Or any other 4 engined heavy bomber for that matter.

I think a Lancaster would be perfect for this simulation as historically, big formations were not the principle, staggered solitary night time missions were the norm - surely this would benefit from the next gen engine etc. by not requiring large numbers of aircraft to be modeled at once. Of course, the map would need expanding somewhat...

B17s would be good when we have next decades computing power to enable those large tight formation daylight raids.

I will keep dreaming :grin:
