Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

Hello,

I approached Lowengrin with this idea a few months ago. He seemed fairly enthusiastic about it and he has been in contact with DT regarding other matters. My guess is that any announcement made concerning the possible replacement of DGen with DCG will come after 4.10's release (here's hoping). The current DCG already has DGen/NGen replacement mode so it should be able to keep the old campaigns workable.

Cheers,

P.S. DT does listen to the posts here. A while back, I asked for both an Italian-version propeller spinner for the G.50 as well as corrected LOD0 3D models of the engine nacelles on the Bf110G. Viikate's recent flurry of 4.10 screenshots shows that both of those items have been implemented. I may not have been the only person asking for these, but the sim is better off as a result. Cheers and best wishes to DT!

There´s an interesting plane that can be added for Pacific campaign,but I dunno if it´s worth the effort.

CaC Boomerang

Although a mediocre fighter, the Boomerang gave fairly good service in the army co-operation role. It had to! At the time there was very limited options available to the RAAF. My favourite was 'Hep Cat'!

If we want an Australian fighter how about a CaC CA-15 for a 1946 senario

Kind of like an Australian Hurricane?

nah ... if anything the Boomerang was closest in performance to the Brewster Buffalo. Slightly lower top speed but better guns (20mm) and better rate of climb. The Buffalo had a lower wing loading.

F2A-3 ***
Powerplant: 1,200 hp (895 kW) Wright R-1820-40 radial engine
Empty weight: 4,732 lb (2,146 kg)
Max takeoff weight: 6,321 lb (2,867 kg)

EDIT:
The Boomerang would be a great addition for us Aussies .. but really wouldn't interest anyone else much

It only ever flew for the RAAF as far as I know and is going to perform pretty much like the Buffalo in game.

Thanks for the reply! I really like DCG, it is much more dynamic than Dgen and I think the whole community would benefit from the face lift that it would give to the offline game. Great work by DT, I think someone else has asked this already but can we donate money to DT in some fashion?

Agreed!...On all points except the donation thing. I believe the structure of the agreement DT has with Maddox Games is such that they cannot accept any money for their efforts (which doesn't really seem fair to DT, but this is a reality of the arrangement).

Replacement of DGen with DCG will be VERY welcome. Offline really need a lift!

BTW,TD,the mounted guns of some planes,like bombers,dive bombers,have no recoil,like the IL-2 tail gun.
Is recoil for those MGs going to be added in some version?
