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.

Just doing some 4.11 Testing FBVI. Took some Frag damage that resulted in Fuel leaks to inboard wing tanks. Self sealed after about 5 mins.

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

Thanks for the answer and the fix.

You're right....it's in UltraPack. So many planes now in IL-2 that it's getting hard to remember.

When did NG take over Boeing? That's a new one to me!

Actually the rumors were more the other way around, there was talk a while back that Boeing might try and acquire NG. Nothing came of it so far and there is a good chance the US Government would block such a merger anyway.

As far as the B29 goes my uninformed impression from reading the forums was that at the time of the NG scandal all official work on all US aircraft and ships was stopped regardless of manufacturer (possibly there was a concern other companies like Boeing would try and take the outrageous NG settlement as a precedent and also claim royalties).

Ok! So, when we will see the new 4.11 patch ?

We found another annoying but not critical bug which delayed the release.

Please guys, a little bit more patience. It's getting close...
