Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY - For 4.11

From the movie "The Aviator":

The cause was an oil leak.

I've read of more occasions of propellor governors that went cuckoo in flight due to oil leakage or contamination by metallic particles due to engine wear or damage. Currently we have governor problems on multiple planes but only due to direct combat damage. Imagine a chance where props suddenly feather or like in this clip, reverse pitch (for the types that were able). On one of the occasions there was a prop that went to 100% pitch, overspeeding the engine, trashing it and at one point suddenly locked completely and the sudden forces applied on the gearbox resulted in rupture of the propellor shaft. Imagine damaged engine mounts so the whole engine-prop unit shears off.

A good warning could be a propellor that starts to hunt, less response to pilot input; suddenly increasing or lowering RPM.

Do you guys like this?

nope, I don't.

Bomb loadouts for Spitfire V.

Please reduce the size of armour plate that obscures the rear view in the Tempest.

I'd like to see the Spit XIVc (+18ilbs) - I had a payware version in FS9 and it was a lot of fun. Would be great to see such a fantastic aircraft in the official Il2-46.

First of all, a smaller patch so it could be completed sooner (thank you in any case, TD!).

[FlyingShark]

I would like to see more variants of the P40 like the N and K and also some Merlin powered P40's (the F and the L).

Furtheron, I would like to have more options for noseart. The Corsair and Hellcat had noseart, still we can't use it ingame with those planes. Also maybe a possibility to make it viewable when playing online, even if skindownload is off at the server where you play.

@Azimech - wow, incredible clip of that fx crash. And first time I've seen head injuries rendered so realistically. I may have to rent that one.

And the sad thing is: it really happened that way. Information on that flight and crash can be found on the internet. If Howard Hughes were a real trained test pilot, he would've cut off that engine after trying to feather it. Only the sequence of the wheel ploughing through the roof was done in slo-mo.
What didn't happen was the ground controller instructing to raise gear, that never happens on a maiden flight. Howard did it himself.

feature request: search lights that scan for a/c below 250 meters. And if possible: scanning due to sound production instead of proximity. Currently you can switch off your engine and feather prop and still the lights switch on and find you. And an engine running at idle with a very course prop pitch doesn't produce a lot of noise compared to cruise or full power.

Like many other members of the Italian community... FIAT G.55 Centauro flyable!!!
It was one of the best Italian fighter and there are already 4 versions ready with a beautiful 3D model !

...I really hope to enjoy it in 4.11!
