Also, desert/MTO skins for static Hurricanes, Blenheims, and for Matilda tanks.

I don't think that these requests would specifically interfere with the ban on MTO content and they'd be very easy to do. They already exist as mods.

There are a lot of early war British bombers which aren't in the game, and it would take a massive amount of time and effort to model them all.

The Martin Maryland would be a good choice if we had to pick just one, since it served with France as well as the UK - thus giving us a "French" medium bomber.

The infamous 'ban on the MTO content' must be some kind of urban legend - not long ago DT announced that central Tunisia map is in the works, hopefully to be released with 4.12.

That does sound like a good idea. I know the markings difference is subtle but well worth it. I've been doing some RAF and Commonwealth markings and scheme research. I'll add RAAF to my list if I get a chance to ever finish that... I'd love to see some basically good official markings for RAF aircraft that are standardized across the board. A lot of models were set up with 2 point rather than 3 point markings (i.e. top and bottom of wings plus fuselage) but we can try.

Any South Africans around to record a speech pack?

Not very important, but if it is easy to implement, i would like to ask team Daidalos to add the sound of the weels touching the ground to inside the cockpit. They can only be eard from the outside view. When performing a very smooth landing we have almost no info if the plane has already touched the ground. I have assisted some landings in the co-pilot seat of twin engine small planes, and i heard the squeak of the weels touching the ground. And at that stage of the flight the engine is not making big noise... Plus on real life planes there is felt a little vibration that can not be felt on the game, so i think it would be nice,... the sound allready exists on the game. Ok, not so realistic if we land on a grass airfild, but the sound is also there on the grass...

Head over to SAS. Plenty of South Africans there.

Not that a South African specific pack would be bad (it'd be great to have)... But aren't there at least one SA speaker in the GB pack? I know there is a Canadian and perhaps an Australian. RAF squads did tend to get a fair mix from the commonwealth.

I like it this is a nice idea, only down side is when I balls up a landing with a bumpsie - daisy affair i.e. Squelch.....squelch.....squelch.....rumble.....squ elch.....rumble

it would be great to see Gyro gunsights in the spitfire [with out using mods]

I guess mission builders would appreciate not only the introduction of SAAF, but also adding more USAAF units, esp. from the 12th Air Force, to the FMB list. And Free French squadrons. I’m no expert on the French, but I'll be happy to prepare a list of USAAF units for inclusion, if it can help.
