Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[nearmiss]

You are right, but then you might regret it. Sometimes beta is really beta.
I've seen pages of fixed issues during beta testings. If you look at all the changes in the coming 4.1 release IMO as a mission builder it would make sense to wait.

Again thanks very much for the fabulous work you have already done and your effort to keep on updating il-2.
I would like to suggest the development team to include some new aircrafts proven to be popular in the MODs?

I recently became interested in F8F bearcat, and found that a mod team is probably doing that aircraft.

I also found this from this forum, post number 777, which seems to me that the development team is not yet going to do that model.(my English reading is poor, so correct me if I am wrong…)

However, in my opinion, some models is very likely to be super popular in online godfighting servers(the ultimate prop fighters, F8F, sea Fury...) so i will be happy if these models are included in the official update, even no mission is included for that aircraft.
And as f8f is in actual service, finding data is probably easier, say,

I believe a lot of fans are looking for their favorite plane being included in the official release, not only MODs, as the official releases hold very good reputation for honest and precise modeling.

This will also probably help the official version to gain a larger market share.


So I am suggesting that the DT including some of the popular models, especially F8F:

Being the successor of hellcat, Having the best of FW190, Excellent reputation for ease of handling, The favorite of Neil Armstrong,

THE ULTIMATE prop. fighting machine, you can’t miss it ^_^

The F8F is a Grumman crate so Daidalos won't touch it with a ten-meter force-pike. Sorry.

[FVV190]

sorry my English is poor.

Daidalos team is not doing Grumman aircrafts? or is this related to Don Quixote?

There are legal issues associated with adding Grumman aircraft to the game, unfortunately.

Oh i am sorry to hear that. But thanks so much for your work and I will continue supporting your products.

I read english very slow but i begin to know about it a bit....

i am not a legal profession but i think you are doing the right thing. "leave it alone".

1 if you want to win the case, hire good lawyers...cost a lot. N-G and MS are both obvirously extremely rich.

2 these money will help more if spent on development, marketing, etc. and now developing the BOB need plenty of resources.

3 there are still plenty aircrafts to work on, even high performance prop. ones. For example the sea fury, which is included in the "untrapack" MOD.

4 things will change when 1c dominant the whole FS bussiness.

In fact it is said, that we could do 'as if' like planes.... differing in details and carrying wrong names (like 'FAF8 Beartrap' or so), as a possible workaround, but 1st: Its not sure, Grumman will inflict anyway and 2nd: we just don't want to make mockups, but real stuff.

EDIT: This is not only affecting planes, but also alot additional american stuff, like battleships for instance.

since the addons are not official and are by a non-profit party, the legal bs doesn't count,, and no one cares, it's only when there are deep pockets.. then the slimy scumbags lawyers come crawling, so do as you wish..
