vanir,
May I suggest that you send any relative information directly to 1C. The e-mail address is

Fearfactor,
What you said about 4.09 ("It don't matter Chuck, the fact is that 4.09 will not have any aircraft adjustments, let alone new aircraft.") may not necessarily be true.
I've already found at least one non-documented 'aircraft adjustment' in 4.09.
In any event, it can never hurt to ask. In the past, IL-2 has been termed as 'development closed', and yet those terms were reversed as new add-ons and patches were eventually released.
