British bombers also need cockpits, but that's another question...

I'd love that too. The biggest problem with the Typhoon has always been cockpit references. I'm sure they are out there but they are rare... and the "car door" style even moreso.

Sadly pics of the Typhoon's cockpit are very rare, here are few of them i found on the web (actually i don't even know for sure if they are all Typhoon cockpits):

Or the Hawker Tempest with 11lbs & 15lbs boost?

Again, references seem to be the biggest problem here. I tried years ago without success to get a full range of charts. There are a couple of charts for 11 and 13lb boost and the different Sabre II engine variants but they weren't for a full range of altitudes nor were they including the climb rates either.

Allegedly Closterman (famous Tempest ace) had a late model Tempest V Series II with likely a Sabre IIC and Rotol propeller running at 13lbs of boost. This would be JF-E "Le Grande Charles". Some of that may be exaggeration by the author himself compounded with decades between writing his book and the actual events of when he wrote his diary for example but I'm not sure.

If I came to choice between a Typhoon (immensely useful from 1942 and on depending on model) or a high powered Tempest... I'd pick the Typhoon. Of course the work is not comparable. A flight model is likely a fairly "easy" thing to do with the right data versus modelling an aircraft.

Just wanted to say thanks to TeamD for the upcoming Beaufort in 4.12, been on my wish list for a long time, a much missed med theatre plane.

Santa, I have been a very good boy most of the year. So, I would like to see more flyable Flying boats (e.g Grumman JRF Goose and/or Grumman J4F Widgeon)and Floatplanes (e.g Fokker T.VIII).

Keep up the good work Daidalos Team!

Well you have not been good boy enough otherwise Santa would let you know years ago that Grumman planes will not make it into official release.

Sant Claus (TM) is a Trade Mark by The Coca-Cola Co. (All Rights Reserved). Santa's Flying Sleigh (TM) is property of the NG Corporation and can't be modelled either.

Didn't know that, but they were just examples. Any ww2 era seaplanes would do. Loire or Saro's would be awesome, again just examples.
