Roger that! I think theres still alot of life left in the old girl yet, as this and future patches (inc the new 3rd party SB and B-24D) proves. I see IL2 '46 as the huge encyclopedia to CloD's detailed study; i think theres plenty of room for them to both happily co-exist for many years to come.

Really excited to hear 4.11 is (allegedly) in beta....even more so as theres been hints over at ubi and SimHQ about AI improvements and Italian armour - fantastic news!

Also saw the sukhoi pictures of an old Ki-10 model, SaQSon....would be over the moon if that ever made it into a future patch! I-15bis vs Ki-10 - tastey!

Thanks for all the hard work team, and good luck with the testing.

Well since there is no update thread for 4.12 yet, I'll leave this here.

The finnish (ex french) version is almost done now and will go into 4.12 definitly:










The trained eye can tell the difference to P-40s now.
Any hints/help/opinion/references welcome.


So far we would like to include also P-36C (maybe also P-36A.. that depends on available references) as well as french Hawk 75A-1 and A-2.
If time is friendly with us, an overhaul of the P-40 cockpits could follow on base of the H75 cockpit. Still future sound...

This Curtiss fan boy thanks you from the bottom of his heart.

I realize how hard it is to make/import new aircraft into the sim, but I must humbly ask about the following versions of the Hawk 75 because of their tremendous historic significance...

Hawk 75 H or M. The fixed gear version used by China. The demonstrator H model was purchased personally by Madame Chiang Kai-shek and presented to Claire Chennault for use as his personal aircraft.




And the second would be the Hawk 75A-7 as used by the Dutch in the defense of the Netherlands East Indies.



Both are little seen versions that fought as the under dog and hence deserve some consideration.

And thanks for making my day.

Thanks for your response ElAurens!

While I am not sure about the word 'tremendous' being right for the 'fixed fear' version, taking only the 30 from China and the 12 from Thailand, which saw real combat, that alone wouldn't stop us from implementing it as flyable (Finnland had only around 44 total). But I have very few references about its cockpit.

A-7 and also A-8 have the same problem. Most references available are from earlier versions. However, since beside the Dutch, also Norway (-and later Finnland) recieved these versions, its likely, that we will consider them.

The versions, that I named in my previous posting, are just the most easy to implement. You know... time is eating us.

I understand why so many things are not going to happen. Sometimes my love of the real thing takes over. Hehe. I don't have any refernces to the H/M cockpits either. I'll see if any are around somewhere.

Those look nice.

I'm wondering; will the French version have the "backwards" throttle...?
