One of the real limitations of the Il-2 releases is that they lacked small campaigns or missions for aircraft introduced in patches (and often in new versions of the game).

IMHO, it would be great if we had a second team pulling together high-quality missions featuring the new aircraft that could be released as an addition download.

If need be such a team could work one tier behind using the publicly released patch (as opposed to the betas). I think it would add a lot if a 4.09 mission pack was being built to coincide with the release of 4.10.

Sounds like something that a team of mission builders could be working on if they were to organize. Or it can happen in a disorganized fashion as well. I know quite a bit of the 4.09 content has already been used. Surely that will happen a few months after 4.10 is out as well. I was personally thinking about a short Hs129 campaign.

That's great to hear. As you say, there's plenty of talented and dedicated campaign builders in the community. Keeping your focus on stuff that only TD can do makes sense 100%.

From Wikipedia

The Franks G-suit
The first G-suits were developed by a team led by Wilbur R. Franks at the University of Toronto's Banting and Best Medical Institute in 1941. These devices used water filled bladders around the legs and two 'Mk.' versions (or Marks) were developed:

Franks Mark I suits were used by RAF Hurricane and Spitfire pilots;
Franks Mark II suits were used by the United States Army Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force pilots. U.S. pilots tested them during 1944, but found the water system uncomfortable and were issued an air-inflatable designs known as Berger suits from September 1944.
[edit] The GPS series 'Berger' Gradient Pressure Suit
In the United States, physiologists Drs. Earl H. Wood, Edward Baldes, Charles Code and Edward Lambert also contributed to the study and development of G-suits in the 1940s.[7]

The researchers were part of a team assembled at the Mayo Clinic investigating the effects of high performance flight on military pilots, by studying physiological effects of flight and how to mitigate them.[7] They used a large centrifuge to whirl riders and observe their blood pressures at the head and heart levels with special instruments.[7] To prevent drops in blood pressure, the team designed an air bladder suit that inflated at the pilot’s calves, thighs and abdomen.[7]

Their efforts finally culminated with the release of the first US military design in late 1943: the GPS (Gradient Pressure Suit) type fighter pilot's G-1 G-suit.[8] The team subsequently worked on developing further, more advanced models in 1944 and beyond.[8]

Will there be G-suits in 4.10 or later ?
