Sounds interesting, were currently sorting maps and skins to accommodate the new B24

Monguse has been quite persistent with his updates and new skins.....

Thanks G

Quite topical, the Sunday that just passed was the 70th Birthday of this B24 A72-176, being restored in Werribee, Victoria, Australia:

Shouldn't we get the cockpit for the SB-2-103?

[Sita]

yep...

How come the development page hasn't been updated to say that it'll be a newflyable?

[pockrtplanesairways]

Well then how come you guys haven't updated the development page to say that it'll be a new flyable? And shouldn't we be seeing the update come out in the next few months?

Yes, that's coming in 4.13.

I love flying the SB-2 thanks to the quality of it's interior. The cockpit, nose gunner/bomb aimer, and the upper and lower rear gunner positions are all extremely well done. The IL-4 and PE-8 interiors are equally nice.

I didn't even get into level-bombing in IL-2 until flying these machines when their interiors became available.

Can't wait to see the M-103.

Actually, I'm quite sure that the IL-4 and PE-8 cockpits were from a 3rd party. Or maybe I'm getting mixed up with a mod that made it compatible with 4.09. But I hate the 100A with the dumb bare metal. I want powerful inlines and real camo!

Lots of third parties worked with TD directly to get their stuff included. The IL-4 cockpit was from an artist and the Pe-8 was a bunch of paid artists plus a dedicated researcher who collected community donations to pay the artists to do the job.

Both SB-2s are great inclusions into the game. The inline version will be nice to add as a feature. Any famous SB-2 missions I can build? I was thinking of trying to do something with the M-103.
