What happened to the Whirlwind?
I remember seeing a vid on youtube . Anyone know what became of it?

Still in the pipeline, though somewhat delayed as a result of the Christchurch earthquake, apparently: http://www.oceanicwing.com/il2_projects.html. Shouldn't be too long, hopefully.
Also in the works from Oceanic: CAC Boomerang, De Havilland Vampire Vampire, Hawker Fury & Nimrod (biplanes). |

Thanks for the info Andy. I feared that it was a toys out of the pram issue

Hope Boomerang and Vampire can find a place in a IL2 patch...

Amen. They're precisely the sort of obscure planes that I love to see flying in the IL2 skies. I'd bet that the Whirlwind and Boomerang get released first, though. They've been in development for 3+ years.

I hope we can get the Whirlwind. Shredding bombers with 4x nose mounted 20mm Hispanos will be easy. Bwahahahahahaha!

The artist behind it, Magpie, lives in Christchurch and experienced both of the major earthquakes that occurred in last year. He lost the current build of many of his projects and was set back many months. Him and his team now develop for Rise of Flight but I have received assurances that they intend to finish the Whirlwind and Boomerang sometime this year.
