Because I have always loved the open cockpits and wheelspats of the 1930s, I chose the Japanese-China war because of the many different types of aircraft used. Shots below of WIPs - none are finished, but a few are close to completion. I will add the Ki.21 to my list, but it will be some time before I release anything.

Wow. How long have you been keeping this lot under wraps? Really can't wait for these aircraft, it looks like you have announced out of "nowhere" the fulfilment of a major proportion of my 1930s aircraft wish list, and not only will these aircraft be fantastic for the fascinating but so far ignored Japanese-China war but also a number of them for the Spanish Civil war, where we currently have many of the Republican aircraft but none of the Nationalist aircraft.

What's the twin engined Biplane in the right centre of the lower image? Not a reflection on your modelling skills, which are clearly superb but I thought I knew my 1930s aircraft and I don't recognise this one.

In what form are you thinking about releasing about these aircraft? IE via Daidalus Team in an official patch, or one of the mod sites? Either way, I will be looking forward to the completion of this project with much anticipation.

I started teaching myself how to make 3D models about 3 years ago, and only got good at it about 18 months ago - I've been working on the 1930s stuff since then. Still a lot to learn, so don't expect any releases anytime soon - unless Daedilus is interested. That would speed things up considerably.

The large twin-engined biplane WIP is the Curtiss Condor, which China used in modest numbers as a transport/bomber. My next project is a FIAT CR.32 - used by the Chinese in small numbers. Then, the export version of the P-26, also used in small numbers by the Chinese.

Hello uberGeezer,

If you are serious in your 3D modelling for IL-2 and want to stick to the official IL-2 tech specifications in terms of polycount, LODs, textures, material setup, internal parts, etc. contact us at daidalos.team@gmail.com

We can take a look at one of your models and give you our best feedback if you are heading the right direction. If you make a historical plane completely and within proper technical guidelines, we will insert it into the game, program its FM and release it in our future work. No strings attached.

I'm not sure how practical this is or how hard it would be to implement this request but here goes.

When a airfield is under attack (sirens going) the icon for that airfield on the field selection screen flashes. (and maybe in the inflight map)

This would give people some warning if vulchers are hanging around the field and would give people in the air a sort of priority-defend-airfield sort of message.

What do people think?
