Something about radio navigation: ZB/YE is quite a useless, when you fly from the carrie, because you just can ask "ground" for a vector to base. I think, it would be more realistic, if base or carrier could only give you vector to it, when you either in direct sight of it, or near some reference point, like island, or atoll.

Check the FMB & Misc features. From there it is possible to make "early war" mission and disable the vectoring orders. Also when they are enabled with the new navigation, the vectoring has certain limitations like earth's curvature blocking the signals.

I think, that's not what I am talking about, but anyway, what if I play dgen or already made mission?

Could bi directional control for the minimap be added? Is it is in the stock sim you have to L click all the way in and then all the way out.. There was a mod that addressed this.. along with the radiator as well so it is doable.. Now that you guys have finally placed radiator control on an axis (which is something I have been wanting for a long time... thanks) perhaps you can also take a look at that. I know it is not a big fancy feature.. but it is a very functional one that should be relatively easy to add to the next official patch. The way the mod worked L click zoomed in, R click zoomed out, pressing the scroll wheel moved the entire map within the frame (like R click does now I think it is.. ) and of course L&R click moved the entire map across the screen to another location.. Siometimes when trying to navigate it is a pain in the neck when you click one click too may and ten you have to cycle all the way through again to get to the point where the map s sized the way you want it.. a bi directional map would eliminate this.

Currently, you cannot take a loadout with 2 MK108 + 4xWfgr21 WITHOUT having to carry also the fuel tanks.

Can you make a loadout without the fuel tanks ?

Plus, can you make a mixed loadout 2xSC500 + 4xWfgr21 + 2 MK108 ? This would be for ground attack purposes. Thx.

Plus, make that possible again :

At 0.38 and at 2.30. I know it's a hollywood movie, but as you can see, there's no problem dropping a pair of bombs from 5 meters of an aircraft with it having to bounce back to your plane. And time fuses work when bombs are slidding.

Man I love that scene.. I didnt realize that kid was Christian Bale until about 6 years ago.. after Batman Begins came out.. I was watching it (Empire of the Sun) on HBO or Showtime or something around Memorial Day.. and I remember saying to myself.. "Wow that kid is a pretty good actor.. I wonder who he is and what became of him..?" so I checked the credits at the end of the film and almost fell out of my chair.

First and foremost is the fact that anything Daidalos has added so far was made by somebody in his own spare time. Which means what the modeller made was up to him.
Now you've mentioned the jets and the Lerche. Tough luck - nothing Daidalos did. These were either created by Maddox Games or Luthier's Russian Rocket Games for the 1946 release. You got a complaint that no Meteor was created? Take it up with Maddox Games and Russian Rocket Games.

And lastly about the types Daidalos did add. Most were "leftovers" from the Il-2 and Pacific Fighters development (i.e. the CW-21 was such a case). Others were made by our team members because of their particular interests - the Slovaks had an interest in their Avia and Letov, the Finns wanted their iconic Fokker D.XXI, our italian members wanted some more of their own types and the Henschel Hs 129 was a type the community wanted for years (myself included).

So ... for any type to be created it takes hard work and dedication. Daidalos is a small team and does not have a large number of 3d modellers. There are simply too many types possible and too many theaters to cover to make everyone happy and a lot of groups with particular interests would like nothing better than to monopolize TD for themselves. Which, of course, is simply impossible. And because of that - lots of potential projects, little time and even less manpower - we gotta prioritize our efforts and concentrate on certain areas. If your particular area of interest is not in it ... sorry. We're simple humans and not magicians.

I totally understand as I know a little bit about 3d moddelling, and I think your team has done amazing work over the years. Could I ask what are the potential projects though like what are you working on or are wanting to work on.

But if you really can give the Meteor a try ( I know you didn't make any jets) if you can or complete a 3rd partys one then you will hear nothing more from me.

You'll notice him in Kenneth Branagh's "Henry V" too.
