Dear Team Daidalos,

many thanks for the flyable IK-3. I guess most of us players and aviation history buffs from former Yugoslavia will really appreciate your hard work. Now we will be finally able to reenact some of the April war 1941, defence of Belgrade flights, that I used to read so often about as a teen.


P.S. Please, I do not want to be rude or disrespectful to you, but can you add in future patches flyable M.S.406/410- it really was an important fighter for both France and Finland (it would be a great add on for Finnish missions)

The Ik-3 cockpit is looking really nice, but I doubt it will be flown very often, as long as we don't have a Yugoslavia map in the game. To some degree this problem also exists for the He-177. I know it saw a limited use on the eastern front, but its main area of operation was western Europe. Unfortunatly there is no map in the unmodded version of game showing both parts of England and continental Europe.

Don't get me wrong, I love having these new planes in the game, but please Team Daidalos don't forget that we also need the necessary maps to build historical accurate missions for them.

Both projects, IK-3 cockpit and He177 were - like also other projects - initiated (and maybe donated) by extern groups (like squads or communities) and our Team 'only' took care of integration, programming, FM etc. ... and testing, quality control and some correctings in the models. Sometimes the responsible modelers are part of the team, sometimes not. However, these models would have existed anyway, even if the we never would have chosen them to be build - so they were low hanging fruits - why not pick them up?

Proper maps would be good though.

On the subject of maps, I wonder if, for example, someone made a map of Southern England or Battle of britain related planes sutch as the Anson, Do-17 or MK.1 Spitfire.
Would you be able to add those despite Cliffs of Dover being released? Or would that not count due to the fact that COD runs on a brand new engine. Still, I wonder some times.

Its great to see more of the AI aircraft getting authentic cockpits. Each new flyable aircraft provides a new perspective on the sim. Many thanks to all of those involved.

Actually, the whole IK-3 project (external and cockpit) was sponsored by a group of IL-2 fans, who wanted to see this plane in the game. They collected all possible historical reference, they could find and hired a 3rd party modelers (paid by donations from this group), who built the 3D models according to the DT standards.

DT is responsible only for the game integration (programming, animation, FM), which was done for free, as usual.

The story behind He-177 and Pe-8 are exactly the same. So if you want a specific plane in the game you have 3 ways: wait until DT may be, some day will include it; build the model yourself (according to the provided by DT technical specs) and supply it to the DT; hire someone, who will build this model for you.
