4.11 Development Update

I'm not exactly sure whether this is the right place for this post, but from elsewhere I understand that because of the Northrop-Grumman debacle, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress is off-limits. If the model still exists somewhere, could it not be cunningly disguised as a Tupolev Tu-4?

The B-29 and Tu-4 are already in stock 4.10.1.

The gauges would be in Russian That, and it was quite a bit heavier than its B-29 counterpart, with a corresponding lack of performance and bomb-carrying ability.

A. That the B-29 isn't a flyable aircraft has nothing to do with Northrop/Grumman.

B. The B-29 was designed and built by Boeing.

The "Northrop-Grumman debacle" does not differentiate between flyable or AI-only models. Both are equally affected by the copyright issue.

But would the Tu-4 be likewise affected, being as it was a carbon copy of the B-29?

I don't think you understand. Both of those planes are modeled in IL-2. There is no copyright issue with either one.

I have read the released ReadMe pdf but....
does anyone know if the Mosquito FB. VI have had its selfsealing tanks fixed?
Currently a fuelleak will emty its tanks within minutes!


According to all records I have read, aircrafts in British services without selfsealing fueltanks was not considered fit for combat which was a major reason for delegating a/c produced for the French in the US, to training duty.

Tu-4 is not. Your last sentence is true though.
