I hope Oleg will put a flyable Lysander in the sim. Not all missions should be about blowing up things. Paint them black and let us fly low into France with only a compass, a map and the full moon to help us find the way. A short field landing to pick up the spy or downed airman and then a hasty departure with german bullets tracing. This will put the terrain-features and geography-accuracy and the lighting and shadowing to the test. As well as our flying skills...

That would be fun, although I think there is also an altimeter and an airspeedmeter in each aircraft.
Some planes that where in the AI list moved to the flyable list in februari etc, maybe it will happen again

BTW, any update on the final list of flyable and non-flyable planes in the 1st release?

I am not sure what you mean by each aircraft also having an "altimeter and an airspeedmeeter" (airspeed indicator being the right name) ? I never implied the Lysander, or any other airplane, does not have theese. And they are not used for low-level navigation.

Navigation without an airspeed indicator? Might get difficult very quickly!

The 109 lifting off, isn't that Galland's plane?
If so, it shouldn't have the Revi installed since he had it replaced with a telescopic sight and a cutout for it in the windshield...

[Modding_Monkey]

my guess is you want a release date? look at the title of some of the videos, See you in Oct.

Octagon, no no, maybe october? I'm thinking October 13th.

That one with the three 109s on the grass is my new desktop image. Nice.
