Thanks Friendly Flyer for clearing up the prop/spinner query - you are right it would be good to see some DeHavilland spinners mixed in with the Rotols.

Yes, please.

So, what about individual aim points for the guns?

Svastika branches will be reversed, Adolf Hitler will be called Adilf Hatler and Hermann Goering will be Gernamm Hoering...

Seriously, that's a sad piece of news but you're right to play the safety !

LOL. Thanks for the jolt down memory lane. There was a non sanctioned baseball video game released in the states a long time ago. Because they didn't have the Major League Baseball Assoc. contract they couldn't use any real names - much like the game you mentioned.

I played as the Boston Red Sox and laughed at some of the names. The funniest was the third baseman's name. Wade Boggs was changed to "Spayed Froggs."

These knuckle dragging Gorrilas ironically do not seem to comprehend that Russia suffered terribly fighting against Fascism, and that Hitler considered most Slavs to be 'Untermenschen' and sub-human (lol.....what a f*cking dick). I'd love to know what (if anything) goes through these peoples heads. Hate crimes against those from the Southern Caucausus, Tajiks, blacks and anyone who is not ethnically Russian, as well as anti-Semitism are on the increase. It is a very real problem.....not just in Russia but elsewhere too.

I would agree that in the context of a computer game this is quite ludicrous, historical veracity never turned anyone into a Nazi, unless they were f*cked in the head already.

1c are being very wise in playing it safe IMO, it would be foolish to jeopardise development over this frankly inconsequential point. It is of course a simple matter for skin makers to overcome this 'problem'.....end of story really.

Glad to see that things are progressing Ilya, some of the criticisms have merit but its WIP, you guys are probably tearing your hair out over some of the OTT BS comments. Constructive criticism is of course a good (and necessary) thing, but some folk take things a bit too far IMO.

Carry on, it will be out when its out and keep up the good work. Don't let the b*stards get you down.

Good post- I believe the most moronic thing i have ever seen is pictures of neo-Nazis in Israel!!!!!
I agree- play it safe, get the game together, ignore the clowns- it's looking good and the scale of this game seems incredible.

Here's what a real Hurricane looks like. The SOW Hurri is not too far from this...

Actually, this is allmost what a real Hurricane Mk.I looks like, the propeller spinner is the wrong shape. It is R4118, while most of the plane was rebuilt using the original bits, the constant speed propeller had to be rebuilt from scratch. It seems to be based on the longer spinner from a Mk.II Hurricane, but made pointed to resemble a de Haviland spinner. There are no flying Hurricane or Sea Hurricane Mk.I today that has the correct spinner.

The correct shape of the de Haviland spinner can be seen is this photo:

It is possible to do now in IL2 by manually editing the mission file, but it require people fiddle around in the game folders where they normally don't go. If this setting is a made available from the campaign screen, Much of the swastica trouble will go away as soon as user made skins are available. It would also benefit people who like to skin themselves and have the squadron fly with their own designs.

+1.

You think you have troubles, I was in my 60's! I don't think I will make it.
