Hi Oleg. Are you still interested in models of French cars?

I'd bet a Gladiator could do it in the current sim.

That sounds like a challange!

First person to do it needs to post a track!

If someone does it, that's YouTube material. Sometimes it's nice to watch a movie instead of firing up Il2 to watch the track.

Does Il-2 contain a proper flat freight car to land on? I don't believe.

(Il-2 doesn't have any proper freight cars at all :mh: )

The railways in IL*2 are strange.

The Germans couldn't use their own rolling stock on the Russian railways they captured, the guages were different. The distance between German rails was something close to the British 4ft 8in, whereas the Russian was something like 6ft, the German wagons just wouldn't roll on the Russian rails. So, most of the German transport had to be by road or air.

Germans have 1435mm, Russians 1524mm. Soon after german troops occopied russian territory special "Umspur-Trupps" (re-gauge troops) began to bring russian gauge to 1435mm gauge (or in other cases put wider axle distances to the bogies). And also captured russian rail vehicles (locos and cars) have been used by germans. No need to bring transportation to road or air because of gauge differences.

And another factor is that the speed of the train is too slow for such a landing

"If" the Fieseler Storch was flyable it would have a good chance. Isn't it's landing speed about 50km/h? Or there's always the Lerche!!!!

Here is an update of the model with the geometry completely finished:



Sending you a copy of the model Foo'bar

Regular freight trains will run 60 km/h, express freight trains 90 km/h. At least german ones.
