I am sorry, but I have to nitpick again.

The position of the landing light on the BF 108 is wrong.

It should be to the left of the pitot tube and not on an extended arm.

This really strikes me as odd, cause it is visible on like any picture of the Bf 108. so why is it wrong on your model?

But even more important in terms of DM, do you have the fire extinguisher system modeled?

Will check with 108th.
btw. The site with the drawings: the drawings of the engine are not compatible with the drawings of the plane itself. Just for the notice, that not all things are coming well with such drawings....

fire extinguisher system was modeled in Il-2. Why not to have it in new sim on the planes where it was?

Thanks for checking with the guy responsible for the Bf 108s.

The links were just provided for the photo references. Drawings are always a delicate issue to be handled with care.

Regarding the fire extinguisher system, I was particular about the system on the Bf 108.

EDIT: Edited for reasons of politeness.

While I respect your body of work in regards to IL2, Zorin, you have the disposition of a badger and worse manners. Good grief man, lighten up. You'll have a much better life (and a longer one).

I am sorry you feel that way. All I am trying to do is get a point across and I rather take your and other people's mockery fot it than seeing it pass unnoticed.

That has nothing to do with bad manners or a particularly negative approach towards life.

[philip.ed]

Worry about your own life mate; you'll waste your time wondering what other 'virtual' people are doing

I repsect Zorin's enthusiasm.

[BadAim]

I'm not concerned at all about Zorin's life except insomuch as I care for anyone's life. I just find it annoying when someone snidely insults someone I respect, then says "I was just kidding" or 'I was only trying to inform you", or whatever the excuse of the day is. I also know that Zorin doesn't care what I or anyone else thinks of him (at least that's what he'll say).

I also reject any notion that this is something other than the "real world". The people behind the posts are just as real as anyone else and deserve the same respect.

I say what I mean, and mean what I say same here as anywhere else. What I said to Zorin was much less an insult than an observation (of several years over several sites).

There are ways to speak to people, and ways not to.

I will, however take your advice to heart Phil, and not engage in this conversation any further.
