An old Loadstar pilot told me a funny story once. He spotted a friendly fighter below him, so he dumped his altitude to gain speed. Just as he overtook the fighter, he feathered one engine, then waved at the fighter pilot as he blew by.

For info.
He-177 is DT/3rd party project supported by SVK community.

For 4.13?

yes

Cool.. Are there any plans to make it flyable?

oh... really...?

this strange, but in something beautiful and dangerous, for crews too, bird... i like many aircrafts, but this was always something special...

and sometime ago was really surprised when read about very intense career of these planes on soviet-german front, and about sorties of 30+ he 177 in daytime (if not forgot something)... not easy targets for any fighters...

well, really interesting and useful plane for all fronts...


this will be A5, and flyable?

A3, which, as opposed to A5, had conventional ailerons, instead of Fawler flaperons.

In initial release it will be AI-only. I know, people, who initiated this project want it to be flyable, but I am not sure, if there is anyone, who has desire, time and experience enough to build all those cockpits. That would be a huge job. And as far, as I know, all people in IL-2 modeling community, who can do the job, are already neck-deep in their own current projects.
