I believe Oleg & co. were aware of the errors in the P-40E/M 3D models but never had the time to fix them due to the development of Pacific Fighters first, and then Storm of War later. Development screens of DT patch 4.10 have shown (Ju88, Bf110G, G.50, etc) that they do these sort of fixes. Hopefully they can find time in their busy schedules to give the P-40E/M (and possibly add the most-produced P-40N while they're at it) some love. May I also add that the landing gear of the P-40s seem a little bit duck toed? I haven't had time to really examine them closely, but they seem to be twisted slightly outwards in the extended position. Perhaps the animation can be tweaked at some point.

Ah, K that's right I forgot that the P-40 was one of the original Il2 planes, thanks.

No worries, man! I believe the P-40E/M may have been part of the Forgotten Battles release around 2003/2004?? Anyway, it could do with a wee facelift. Motion seconded .

Hello again,

I have a small request for a future DT patch. I've been flying the J8A in a Finnish campaign and I have noticed a small anomaly which can perhaps be corrected. When parked, with the engine stopped, the propellor of the J8A is a wooden fixed pitch propellor that is tan in colour. When the engine is running, the spinning texture of the propellor is black with yellow warning tips. Would it be possible to make a tan-coloured spinning propellor texture without warning tips to maximize the J8A's immersion factor?

Thanks very much,

Fafnir_6

Just to give a try:

- Set in "Controls" the option of FOV "Extra Wide", like 115º, and the subsequent implements betwen this new FOV setting and "Wide" FOV.

Simple and "life changing" feature. Thanks.

A minor adaptation, nonetheless welcome:
a correct Revi for J8A.
Could not remember hearing of a finnish Galdiator being rigged with a japanese sight...

Fafnir and Schnaps .... i have asked about the J8a before ... apparently the J8a fixes are already under way:

Awesome! I had no idea this was underway. DT never ceases to amaze. Thanks for setting us straight .

@EL Aurens, Fireflyerz, Viikate, etc: Oh my god...What have I started?
