Regardless of what will actually be added in the future, it is still great to see the level of excitement about this sim rise again - a credit to the team’s work.

1) Daidalus Team has already indicated in the 4.09 announcement that cockpits for these are being worked on to make them flyable:
• CW21
• Fiat G.55 Series I
• I-15bis
• Letov S-328
• Re.2000

2) Currently AI only planes:
• Curtiss P-36 (Hawk 75)
• Henschel Hs-129B-2/3
• Messerschmitt Bf-110C-4/B
• Morane-Saulnier M.S.406
• Nakajima B5N2
• Nakajima B6N2
• TBF/TBM “Avenger”

3) New variants of existing planes:
• Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk X
• Curtiss P-40N
• Heinkel He-111H-16
• Junkers Ju-88A-17 (Torpedo Bomber)
• Junkers Ju-88C-6 (Zerstörer, also adapted as Nachtjäger)
• Messerschmitt Bf-110E
• Supermarine Spitfire Mk XIV

4) New planes:
• Bristol Beaufort
• Curtiss SB2C
• Fairey Swordfish
• Kawasaki Ki-45
• Hawker Typhoon
• Henschel Hs-123
• Nakajima Ki-44
• Yokosuka D4Y

Cheers,

Would this happen to have anything to do with the existing mod for the Spitfire XIV? Not sure if we are allowed to talk about mods here, and I won't mention them further if this is the case, but there are a lot of good mods out there, principally aircraft, that would be good to see made official by their inclusion in a future Daidalus Team patch.

Will 6dof, IR TRACKER be created in the new patch for IL2 Sturmovik? This will breath new life in game.

Is the type of gunsight on the Fokker D.XXI Sarja 3 Late chosen at random somehow? About half the time when I select this plane I get a version with a reflector gunsight, while sometimes the same plane can be found with a telescopic sight of the type found on many early war planes, including the D.XXI Sarja 3 Early.

Not only does the game appear to "pick" the type of sight at random, but it is possible to get different aircraft in the same flight with different sights. The last mission I flew had the no.2 and no.3 aircraft in my flight equipped with reflector sights, but the my plane and the no.4 had a telescopic sight.

It's all in the manual ... But yes, there's a 40% chance to get the more modern Revi. You can also tell the program which one to use based on the skin. The HOW is also described in the manual for 4.09.

Nice. Definitely going to be creating some skins so I can get the Revi as standard though

Is there any chance of the other three D.XXIs being made flyable at some point? I'm having a lot of fun flying the Finnish models against the new Russian fighters, even if it is a big challenge because the I-15bis is impossibly agile and the D.XXIs armament is too light to pull off the kind of snapshots I usually use against I-153s and I-16s, but it would be nice to try using the Dutch D.XXI against Bf109Es and Bf110Cs.
