4.11 Development Update

[EJGr.Ost_Caspar]

Thanks for your response ElAurens!

While I am not sure about the word 'tremendous' being right for the 'fixed fear' version, taking only the 30 from China and the 12 from Thailand, which saw real combat, that alone wouldn't stop us from implementing it as flyable (Finnland had only around 44 total). But I have very few references about its cockpit.

A-7 and also A-8 have the same problem. Most references available are from earlier versions. However, since beside the Dutch, also Norway (-and later Finnland) recieved these versions, its likely, that we will consider them.

The versions, that I named in my previous posting, are just the most easy to implement. You know... time is eating us.

I understand why so many things are not going to happen. Sometimes my love of the real thing takes over. Hehe. I don't have any refernces to the H/M cockpits either. I'll see if any are around somewhere.

The finnish (ex french) version is almost done now and will go into 4.12 definitly:










The trained eye can tell the difference to P-40s now.
Any hints/help/opinion/references welcome.


So far we would like to include also P-36C (maybe also P-36A.. that depends on available references) as well as french Hawk 75A-1 and A-2.
If time is friendly with us, an overhaul of the P-40 cockpits could follow on base of the H75 cockpit. Still future sound...

Those look nice.

I'm wondering; will the French version have the "backwards" throttle...?

This patch gets better and better

And how about overhaul of the Bf 109 cockpits? Any chances?

The Me-323 is a transport aircraft. The Zwilling He-111 was designed to tow the Me-321. I'm a huge fan of all aviation but realistically if time and resources are limited (and they are) then efforts to recreate something useful in a combat simulator, at least in my mind, should take priority.

Not just specific to your request either. Lots of people seem to want the C-47 to fly for example.

It's why I argue for types that play a bigger role. The Me410 for example would be fantastic to add. It was a bomber, bomber destroyer, night fighter, fighter-bomber... and with minimal modifications between versions it means that limited resources go a long way to plugging a gap in the plane set.

Less versatile but no less important would be types like the Ki-44 fighter interceptor, Ki-45 heavy fighter and fighter-bomber, Typhoon Mark IB used extensively during the Normandy campaign, Beaufighter Mark X or other models, etc. Lots of bang for the buck so to speak. Not that we can't have more rare stuff... but I question how interesting and worthwhile it would be to fly a transport. It has that wow cool moment... and then what? Flying cargo missions sounds interesting for only a very short period of time and only for a minority of people.

I'm making any sense?

It is possibile to use C47 and Ju52 as a parachutes transport for example not only for transpot supplies or other the logidtic is very importantant in the whole strathegy, Ike said that the last one wewrw the most importante see the battle o Atlantic

Does Team Daidalos have a website or something where you can find out where they came from, what restrictions they have to work with and what they are working on atm?
