actually , i belive the grade of detail you choose/modell in the 3.party part - can be very low ;)

I don't know much about 3D modelling, but there is definitely a window of LOD's and polygons that are "acceptable" for any given application. The BOB:SOW models will assuredly be more detailed than what we're currently used to, but going overboard on the polys could make the addition of a particular model as unlikely as not having enough.

If there are modelers interested and talented enough, I'd say they should get cracking straight away. There were a number of aircraft NOT included into IL2:1946 because the 3D models got to 1:C too late for them to do the hard part...coding the FM's.

Some giudeline criteria from 1:C would be of great help obviously.

Hello!

I wonder where did you get this information? I may be mistaken but I do not remember having read any definitive statement from OM about this...
I hope that if someone is willing and able to do as good or even possibly a better job of making the 3D-model, the associated DM and FM of a particular plane, by all means let him do it and provide him with the needed tools or at least the needed specifications...

If one does not want to wait for too long after release of SoW-BoB the first proposals of value, it would really be time to give some tech info for the interested parties to begin work! I have a very hard time to understand why it has not been done yet?
Visibly these specs are known to a large degree since quite some time: the 3D images of the Spit cockpit or the wire-3D-DM of the 109 have appeared almost 2 years ago...

Unless of course if giving away some information like max allowed number of polygons outside and inside, number and detail level of LOD, requested info and its level of detail for creating the inertia, DM and FM parameters will give competition a pretty good estimate of what the engine will be capable of?
And what would happen then? Is it a real good excuse to stay silent?

Questions, questions...

Missed a line...

Does BoF in progress of creating? Or not?

I don't think this is the basis of Yak3. Yak3 is improvement of other YakXs and those YakXs have their own basis.

I like to fly with Yak3 in IL2 especially Yak3P with 3 cannon. I'm not so talented for dogfight and Yak3 is very forgiving plane :).

.... not

Very sad. Scirmish over Holland/Belgium would be very nice.

I'm in the process of creating a DCG campaign on this map from the Mod community.

Progress is slow as the Western Desert campaign I'm in the middle of making has all my time at the moment.
