A little story and a humble request to Team Daidalos

[batistadk]

Hi folks, again.

After some time without posts, I'm coming back with another idea. I have planned to post every week, but it's not so easy take some time to think about a good request, sit in front of a computer and type everything I want to write. The thing is, I have such a boring boss, and a very demanding girlfriend. Time is something that I don't have too much. And, as you can see, I don't like to use less words, then I need some time to refresh my mind, think about a good airplane to request and post it right here.

This week, a very early airplane appeared in my mind. I think we can get, besides late war planes, that looks the favourites for almost everybody, some early war planes too. Team Daidalos are doing a great job in this case. The last patch give us, for example, Re 2.000 and SM-79. Yes, SM-79, what a beautiful bird.

Early planes are a different kind of experience to fly and fight. They are slower, lighter armed and very fragile, but, in compensation, are very agile and maneauverable, really enjoy to fly. And, besides the fact that TD are developing some early war aircraft, we can see they are emphasyzing ITALIAN planes. That's great. Cant Z 1.007 Alcione is coming with patch 4.10 and will be great to see this beauty flying in "our" skies.

Taking advantage of this tendency, my request for today is a really known plane:

>>>Fiat CR.32Chirri<<<

Developed during the 30's, CR.32 was one of the latest biplane fighters of success. It's golden years was during the Spanish Civil War, when it engaged and overcame types such as I-15, I-16, SB-2, and other Republican planes provided by Soviet Union. Here is an overview:

But it's success was Italy's doom. The outstanding performance of a small biplane impressed the italian authorities, and they thougth Italia could continue developing and producing biplane vintage aircraft types. Then, when WWII began, with brand new aircraft types and technology, Italy just could operate superseded aircraft, and would last too long to produce a really challenging fighter, as the MC.205, or Fiat G.55.

Above all, CR.32 would be a great add to our SIM. It was used during the first two years of war in North Africa, mainly in East Somalia and Ethiopia, and, of course, would be a great add to those that appreciate Spanish Civil War simulations.

That's all. I know I'm really asking too much from Team Daidalos, but, as I said in the first post, it's just proposals. Never think I'm a kind of very demanding guy, or kind of boring person. But, would be great if someone from TD could post some word here to show that I'm sending my message.

Thanks again for all your effort, and I'm really waiting for Patch 4.10...

Keep up the good work, boys...

Cheers.
