Someone at UBI must enjoy stepping on his own junk -

G.50

Su-26 (The plane Oleg designed

And the announcement says 13 non-flyables, so,

Anson
Defiant
Gladiator
Sunderland
Wellington

Bf-108
Do-17
Do-215(?)
He-59
He-115

CR-42

Cierva C.30 (Autogyro)(?)

I'm drawing a blank on the other non-flyables.

I think that's a good list you got there, with some minor discrepancies between your memory and mine

First of all, i think they count different variants as extra flyables. For example, i remember seeing 2-3 different Spit variants in the Igrommir videos. There's also a rumor that the 109E will have two variants as well, one with manual prop pitch and one with the automatic system.
Second, i have a faint recollection of Luthier mentioning that the autogyro is flyable.

There were 4 different Spitfires in the plane selection menu of one of the Igromir videos, MkI early, MkIa, MkIb, and MkIIa

But I don't think the around a dozen number for flyables includes type variants, because there have been pictures of the cockpits of all the planes I listed as flyable.

I think you are right about the autogyro though, I seem to remember either Oleg or Luthier saying something about the thrill of dodging Messerschmidt attacks while flying it.

This is great news, its looking fantastic and I love the smoke and fire effects. I bet all 'thee of little faith' feel a bit daft now, LMAO.

I took a bit of a gamble and bought a GTX 580 about 10 days ago, very glad I did now. If that is not enough for this gig then I will be forced to kill myself, (400 quid!

) but I think I'll be alright.

Tree, where are ya mate? I bet he's crying tears of rage into his tomato soup, ROFL. (just kidding you man)
