From the movie "The Aviator":

The cause was an oil leak.

I've read of more occasions of propellor governors that went cuckoo in flight due to oil leakage or contamination by metallic particles due to engine wear or damage. Currently we have governor problems on multiple planes but only due to direct combat damage. Imagine a chance where props suddenly feather or like in this clip, reverse pitch (for the types that were able). On one of the occasions there was a prop that went to 100% pitch, overspeeding the engine, trashing it and at one point suddenly locked completely and the sudden forces applied on the gearbox resulted in rupture of the propellor shaft. Imagine damaged engine mounts so the whole engine-prop unit shears off.

A good warning could be a propellor that starts to hunt, less response to pilot input; suddenly increasing or lowering RPM.

Do you guys like this?

nope, I don't.

Bomb loadouts for Spitfire V.

Please reduce the size of armour plate that obscures the rear view in the Tempest.

I'd like to see the Spit XIVc (+18ilbs) - I had a payware version in FS9 and it was a lot of fun. Would be great to see such a fantastic aircraft in the official Il2-46.

First of all, a smaller patch so it could be completed sooner (thank you in any case, TD!).

[FlyingShark]

I would like to see more variants of the P40 like the N and K and also some Merlin powered P40's (the F and the L).

Furtheron, I would like to have more options for noseart. The Corsair and Hellcat had noseart, still we can't use it ingame with those planes. Also maybe a possibility to make it viewable when playing online, even if skindownload is off at the server where you play.

The same could be done to add newer generations of GPUs and APUs on the list to make it easier for newcomers.

Quoted for truth.

I was rabidly against the "mods"; until I saw that much of the orthodoxy I'd swallowed through the years was false.

6DOF didn't mean the world would end through video clipping, video has always clipped on 109's anyway.

Not having the last button in the right place in a B-29 cockpit didn't mean the end of the world, I've never been in a B-29 anyway.

Not having a map with England in it DID REALLY MATTER! The rest of you German subjects might not notice, but a lack of England does actually rather reshape how WWII was run.

Believe it or not.

Believe it or not.

IL2 fixates on the eastern front and the pacific front. These fronts started in 1941, by then the Battle of Britain was over. till 44' there was little interest in fighting over the channel, there was no point in doing so, interest where in the east. BUT you do have a point if it's about bombers if English heavy bombers would be in the game, a giant map of England all the way to Germany would make very much sense! Combined with the new 4.10 content. But this was never the goal of IL2, there is no real support for big bomber formations or night raids, this all will have to be included as well to make it complete. I'd rather have them focused on IL2's home ground though, the eastern front, we have other sims for long range bombing and channel fighting.

+1 on Firestorm's post,

also agree with the latter variants of the P-40.

Map of Northern Australia, ie Darwin area of Ops.

More westerly area map of France ie Cherbourg Peninsula
