And according to Raaaid, he's asking for "hos" there...

Wrong! He's flying a Bell
 

Wrong! He's actually flying a Bell...Your picture was only taken for propaganda purpose...

Probably because it is more convenient for him to have all the "special gifts" fitted in the nose? haha Grabbing a bottle is also easier this way...isn't it?

What reticle for lend lease P39?
 

Question: were all lend-lease Kobras fitted with the Russian reticle? Was it possible to keep the N9 gunsight and replace the reticle only (what we seem to have ingame)? I'm asking because now in stock game it appears the Russian reticle is too big to fit in the US gunsight and we can't use it correctly because we only have the small center part of it to use.... when it is well known that those big 37mm "pumpkins" need a hell of deflection haha.

My guess is that if Russian changed the US reticle the would also replace the gunsight in order to be able to use it completely? We cannot see the inner circle completely as is (not to talk about the outer circle): and because of that we don't have a complete reticle in the Airacobra!

how i know (maybe wrong, because something like new info or forget) and how told me my friend-historian, all p-39 had original reticle...

well, i think it's right, no reasons for change here, especially, if not all soviet aircrafts have good reticle before 1943 (sometimes, only VV-1, or something like this)...

but it's not so important, how you know - be better, if DT replace armor plate on armor glass (полевая доработка for some late p-39, and maybe it's later in production too), and give to us new ammo loads like "without wing mg's" (полевая доработка, + to perfomance, like PF changes for US p-39) and some new bombs (not only heavy fab-250)...

maybe, how i heard, need correct fuel load (error with 454 kg fuel and weight=another perfomance), sometimes need correct weapon and ammo loads for MG's...

well, not so much, and this of course mainly for "soviet" p-39...

+1

and maybe it's not so obviously for someone's but yak-7b without gargrot need not only for history...

another, really GOOD weapon and little another perfomance, long life of production and lot of a aircrafts... i think, maybe, it's like fw190 serie with a-4 and a-8, but without a-5 and 6...:)

if DT do this and if with 3d model changes all good ( if DT can do this without any problems with authors etc), well, it's was be great...

just need to correct perfomance (little), ammo loads (only light bombs like ao-25 for all 7 (how i heard), no RS-82 in 43), and little 3d model (wings, cockpit, second ubs and maybe etc)...

not so much, and we have all info for this...


our first steps here (topic very reduced, don't know why and who did it)...

Did Karabas ever finish with the Yak-7B Late variation? Wouldn't mind having it even if it's not too distinctly different from the early Yak-9. I can't see it being a difficult fit into the game.

Yes it has been completed & is included in HSFX 6. I think is uses the Yak 9FM

Clock in Fokker D.XXI cockpit doesn't run
 

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a working clock in the Fokker D.XXI cockpit. It is a small thing, but if it could be fixed, that would be great. For now, it looks like the clock is stopped at the mission start time.

By the way, the Fokker campaign that came with 4.11 is great!

i'm flew on this yak-7 in online and you can see him in all mod-forums...

about historical accuracy and standards of mod...

main external differences (all for fuselage of yak-9) - gunport and blister for second UBS, wings from yak-7 and cockpit from yak-9d (standart cockpit for new generation fighters in 43, if short) - were made, if i remember right, plus some change in perfomance and guns (here i can say what all good in total, but in fact need more series with different performance and need add "light" bombs, like ao-25 and - maybe - fab-50,100)...

maybe, all by standarts il2, because take original game parts, if i not wrong...

all minor external differences (if they were), i think no (+ here too much small differences of all series of yak-7, what hard to do)...

well, anyway, main work was made and anyway it's all need check...

and anytime you can contact with authors, i think (in 2010 or 11 i'm asked him about sending mod in DT, and he say "why not?" or something like this - don't found this post now)...

normal weight of yak-7b without gargrot - 3000-3050 kg, normal weight of "standart" yak-9 - 2850-2900 kg, and yak-7 have more powerful weapon and more ammo for weapon...

extra 100-150 kg and another weapon it's enough for include, i think...

and what i mean by "standart" yak-9, this is yak-9 1942 from game (early series in RL) and - how you see, full fuel (and maybe oil) load of yak-9d was not used all time and not used for yak-9 with ns-37...

and this can be next request in wish list...


PS Sorry for so many edits...:)


and, sorry, little mistake here - normal weight of yak-9d with 320 kg fuel=полевая доработка, in avg 2970 kg, and not 2870 kg...

if and with 25 kg oil=2950...

plus, about ammo loads for yak-9, i forgot here these words about yak-7DI=prototype of yak-9, 9d -

I too would like a flyable official release of the me410
