I'm kind of short on money, so my vote unfortunately would be no. If we were talking about a higher fidelity addon than standard IL-2 planes, I might consider a donation.

Before you all start hating on me, let me just say, that for some time now, I have been swimming in the DCS pond and while I still love IL-2, I don't play it almost at all. It's still on my hard drive waiting for the new patch, but unfortunately, IL-2 the way it is has grown kind of old to me. Not the level of realism and challenge I have grown used to by study sims, not as much fun as it used to be, call it a "been there, done that" syndrome. So a single payware plane doesn't cut it for me, I'd rather save the cash for some more modern sim.

I might consider, if it was a larger addon, something that would take IL-2 to the next level, but a single plane... There is already 200+ machines here, and I mainly fly fighters, so there is enough planes for me. Also, $50 for an IL-2 level simulation of a single plane is too much IMHO. That is the price for a full study-sim module for DCS, like the Mustang or something.

I payed for the last-one were is it?

What?

Is paying for a particular aircraft seriously being considered?

Please, explain yourself.


Figtherace, SVK community did it an I guess Russian too with the P-8. I made this poll to know if banana forum members were able to do the same. There are positive answers at least to pay acomplete a external model. We need a project lead. Or we could support the SVK community project and help finish the He 177 cockpit if they need it. Hey Magot are you reading this:grin:?

just for interest, you can create topic about "what we REALLY need?" (or we can to write here) - although i think it's not really constructive, too much wishes for too much sides and too much specific type of users here, but not so much users in total - maybe, we can try...

for example, yes, we can help with he-177 (for example, with one of gunners, personally i think what pilot, bomberman and one gunner it's enough ie minimum), well, good late german bomber in game, and it's enough...

by the way, it's bad translation, or magot wrote about beta-cockpit for do-217 in alpha-4.12?

next, i remember about russian "project of cargo plane" or something like this, which was similar with "pe-8", well, cargo plane like li-2/c-47 it's really not bad choice for many players...

we can think about new correct 3d models for fw 190s or il-2 (in fact, at least just need one new 3d model of il-2 one-seater with some little differents, and it's could be normal plane for 41-44 with am-38/am-38f, shvaks/vya-23, different sights, rockets etc, last mention about these ils which i read - yassi'44)... or just about fw 190 a-2 (a-3 very similar with a-4, a-1,2 it's "another" plane and if i'm not mistaken, planes used even in 43 at soviet-german front)... about p-51 with allison (planes, almost like p-40, used in many countrys, even in USSR)... catalina (planes were used in many countrys, in ussr too)... just examples... etc...

lot of really needful, interesting things and wishes for real gameplay, which need now, which too much for one team like DT, and which we must to wait in other games too long...

and by the way, personally i can give priority for german/allied or even some japanese/french planes, because, if i'm not mistaken or not forgot something, for real use on soviet-german front needs mainly some series of planes, historically correct performances and weapons ie not so much and this theatre now well for online-wars or scenarios...

or, at least, we just could help DT to understand what most needful in society...

well, just my thoughts...

Hey 1984, you re rigth.
I was thinking in something simple, a Lysander for example.
But why not reunite all efforts? Why not to help svk community to finish He 177 cockpit? And then maybe start a new fundraising and make a new plane.
I wrote to Magot. Let s wait.

+ me

for pe8 i did it three time by 500 рублей

something like lysander mk III or mk IIIa? well, why not, although for us/uk-german/pacific fronts need very much important things like maps, ground targets, planes (typhoons, mustangs with allison, several bombers)...

ok...

you are very rich...:mrgreen:

if seriously, i fast checked soviet planes, well, really need only planes like er-2 (just good bomber), su-2 (important early attack plane), li-2 (c-47 in fact), tu-2 (late fast bomber) and mbr-2 (maybe, better catalina for all)...

other planes not so important for gameplay, it's yak-4 (very similar with pe-2, so), yak-6 and ще-2 (very "soviet" cargo-planes, better think about c-47 for all), r-10 (very similar with su-2, so), ut-1b/uti-4 and sh-2 (mainly for fun) etc...

other planes it's lend-lease (here list of planes, but with many small errors ie just for interest)...

well, no so much, and personally i think what have reasons only for su-2/li-2/tu-2 or new model, for example, of il-2 one-seater...
