Will we still have to keep the dvd in for playing? My dvd is spinning insanely loud and I would like to keep it disconnected as much as possible.

Thanks for waking this old sim up again!

The Hawk is a plane I´d love to fly.It´s bare metal painting makes it really gorgeous,like it was covered in silver.Would say it was a plane that got shadowed by the P-40.
Another planes used in China were the P-35 and P-43.But I guess most people would rather use Re.2000 with USAAF paint.

Me-210,it was said this plane was a real headache to Luftwaffe.Had several problems.

Bf110, you're right about the Me210.
Unstable, bad flyer,...
Problems were solved w/ Me410.
Me410 was used during "Little Blitz" beginning of 1944.
Great plane, but as usual, too few too late.
And "obsolete" as a fighter in 1944, when pitched against P51 and P47.

The bad reputation of the Me210 is only true for the initial production run machines. Later Me210s had (among other things) a fuselage plug installed that lengthened the fuselage and mitigated much of the instability. The greater power and different wing of the Me410 further improved upon this. Late-model Me210s were deployed by the Luftwaffe in large numbers in the med and on the Ostfront (also see the Hungarian Me210Ca-1 s we have in game already).

Cheers,

There was a similar aircaft,the Ar-240.

Cool! Didn't know about the Ar240. Although I suspect I've seen it before...somewhere.

Having the Me210/410 would definitely be an interesting addition to the game. Like many of the types being added recently they are interesting or important types that just don't get the same sort of recognition. I had assumed for a long while that they just didn't do anything with them and thus were not worthy of inclusion.

Turns out the Me410 was in production in early 1943 and that there were a number of A and B modifications that saw quite a bit of combat.

I can dream

the Me210 was in action with the III./ZG1 from November 1942 on, flying from Sicily
Its an MTO plane , actually

Yep and a East Front and a West Front aircraft. The thing was everywhere and aside from IL-2... I don't think it's been in a sim before!

The Me410 was also in use with the KG 51 Edelweiss

Its in Warbirds 2.77 on russian Free Host... at least the Me410.
I even made a cockpit for it. Thats where it all begun for me (and where I am now? Damn.)

[Flanker35M]

S!

So make the cockpit for IL-2 to, please! Gunner can be AI only if there are not enough references for modeling it
