My apologies if I'm coming across as agitated/confrontational, I just don't see how a text list would be any different to what is already on page one.

From what I've gathered so far, we'll have:

New AI planes:
Henschel Hs 123
Rogožarski IK-3
Douglas TBD Devastator

New flyable planes:
Pe-8
IL-4

Other features:
Bomb fuzes
Ability to use stationary planes as spawning points.
Changes to the Difficulty menu.
"Smart Axis" feature for using dual+ throttled flight sticks with multi-engined planes
Control Surfaces/Pilot's Head position visible over network (online play)
Mouse-wheel zooming in FMB
Country and Date specific default skins for aircraft.

Feature Request

Level stabalizer for SBD-3 and SBD-5 Dauntless.

My realworld manual states that it had an autopilot

PM me and I will mail it to you.

All quiet on all the fronts...Long time I don't come here,but still,no updates since then?

They're building suspense ;)

Is it possible to make Me-323, He-111H Zwilling flyable aircrafts?

I am really waiting for this aircrafts to come as official ones. I like them so much.

Please if you can- do them playable ;) :grin:

I guess the question would be... what would you do with them?

The Me-323 is a transport aircraft. The Zwilling He-111 was designed to tow the Me-321. I'm a huge fan of all aviation but realistically if time and resources are limited (and they are) then efforts to recreate something useful in a combat simulator, at least in my mind, should take priority.

Not just specific to your request either. Lots of people seem to want the C-47 to fly for example.

It's why I argue for types that play a bigger role. The Me410 for example would be fantastic to add. It was a bomber, bomber destroyer, night fighter, fighter-bomber... and with minimal modifications between versions it means that limited resources go a long way to plugging a gap in the plane set.

Less versatile but no less important would be types like the Ki-44 fighter interceptor, Ki-45 heavy fighter and fighter-bomber, Typhoon Mark IB used extensively during the Normandy campaign, Beaufighter Mark X or other models, etc. Lots of bang for the buck so to speak. Not that we can't have more rare stuff... but I question how interesting and worthwhile it would be to fly a transport. It has that wow cool moment... and then what? Flying cargo missions sounds interesting for only a very short period of time and only for a minority of people.

I'm making any sense? :)

So tell me point of view of existance as flyable:
Go-229
Do-335
YP-80
TB-3 4M-34R

???

You know, just to have fun in free mode, by flying some nice planes. That's why I wanted to see them...

All of those are combat aircraft even if one of them didn't exist in finished form, one flew recon patrols, one flew combat patrols in Italy, and as for the TB-3... it was in use until sometime in 1942. In other words no non-combat aircraft. Fighter, destroyer, fighter and bomber.

Of the four there I'd have only really wanted to see the TB-3 and would gladly trade those others. They were made... so the work is already done. But if it's up to volunteer modelers and not people necessarily getting paid for their efforts... I'd rather see types that we can use.

It's absolutely fun to fly in free mode. I do that a fair bit actually... it's very soothing sometimes to just skim along the landscape and enjoy some of the scenery. You can do that in all of the combat aircraft too! :)

I am just waiting for Pe-8 because i love bombers.
In future I always wanted to see Fw 200 C-3/U4, C-47, Cant Z.1007bis, Me-323, HE-111H Zwilling as flyable planes.

Just to have some fun flying them in Free mode. :grin: Even if there is no point of existence, just to give players more flyable planes, and the biggest ones, because some of them like Bombers and huuuge planes (like me :D)

The Pe-8 will definitely be a magnificent addition to the line up. Big four engined bombers can be quite a bit of fun :)
