No objections!, you can start modeling Ace1staller! thanks for all your efforts...... :rolleyes:

Dampened landings
 

Without severely delaying the next update, is there any way to soften/dampen the 'bounce' inherent in the landing gear all aircraft in general when landing?

Disadvantages no, objections yes! These aircraft totaled perhaps 70/72 examples, (including prototypes, pre-production aircraft and the various types that were built). Why waste time on such a minor player? What I'd rather have is a He 177.

Indeed... there are still some major types that are totally unrepresented at this point. In the European conflict the Me410 and Hawker Typhoon Mark IB stand out as types that served in the hundreds and thousands from the midpoint of the war until the end.

We still don't have the P40 N, the most numerous sub type, and the fastest P40.

Well okay, what are the mod tools I'll need ?

For a start: 3D Studio Max, version below 9 (don't mix with 2009) - I heard it's free for educational purposes;
Adobe Photoshop, or other raster image editor - again, there are few free programs, similar to Photoshop in functionality.

and "stone ass" :D main tool for mod maker :D

Both of these exist as mods. The Me410 is nicely done and is based on the Me210. The Tiffie is only a frankenplane, though.

This also exists as a Mod. Given that it's externally just about identical to the other later P-40s, no 3d modeling is needed. All that's necessary is a new skin and new FM/DM.
