Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

Well, if there was this feature i know very well why it changed!
The huge crowd of "ignition, throttle to the wall, start across the field regardless of traffic"-crowd wailed so loud that it was removed.
Also removed were the more realistic torque effects.
All so that the named above people could just so claim to fly full real and not arcade settings.

Interesting. It could be done as an option...

Oh, and to totally chnage the subject.

We could use a fixed gear version of the Curtiss Hawk 75 (75 H, M or N for Chinese Air Force and similar models for many other airforces).

I really need a fixed gear Hawk for my pre 1941 Sino-Japanese War scenarios. It was the fastest pursuit type flown by the Chinese until the formation of the AVG (Flying Tigers) that were equipped with their Hawk 81 models. (P-40).

Sorry to ask really, but this has been on my mind for some time.

I didn't know there was a fixed gear type... interesting!

I know what you mean about aircraft being stuck on your mind. I've just "discovered" the history about the Me210 and Me410 (I didn't know that the Ju88 was essentially replaced in many units by the Me410 light bomber version) and I'm realizing that it's an aircraft that saw a lot more use than I had thought and I'd love to be flying one around with a full cockpit and making use of some of the weapons and attachments.

The "Chinese Hawk" 75-H demonstrator aircraft that was paid for personally by Madam Chaing Kai-shek and presented to Claire Chennault for use as his personal aircraft. In service in China it was painted dark green.

Oh man, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. The Me210/410 was heavily engaged on many fronts and yet it is largely unheard of in flight sims (I think stock EAW may have had an Me410). I'd love to fly the Hornisse with a full 'pit in stock IL-2 .

+1 for the fixed-gear Hawk as well.

Will we still have to keep the dvd in for playing? My dvd is spinning insanely loud and I would like to keep it disconnected as much as possible.

Thanks for waking this old sim up again!

The Hawk is a plane I´d love to fly.It´s bare metal painting makes it really gorgeous,like it was covered in silver.Would say it was a plane that got shadowed by the P-40.
Another planes used in China were the P-35 and P-43.But I guess most people would rather use Re.2000 with USAAF paint.

Me-210,it was said this plane was a real headache to Luftwaffe.Had several problems.

Bf110, you're right about the Me210.
Unstable, bad flyer,...
Problems were solved w/ Me410.
Me410 was used during "Little Blitz" beginning of 1944.
Great plane, but as usual, too few too late.
And "obsolete" as a fighter in 1944, when pitched against P51 and P47.
