..... and just so you know, I for one appreciate all your dedication and efforts for the past 5+ years very much.

....and shoot me down here if you want, yet I'll bring up this old chestnut again, new planes are always great and very welcome no matter what type or force and please never ever stop , however I'm of the opinion that getting all the existing flyable's (both their externals and especially their cockpits) up to the same visual standards as the newer editions in the officially patched default game would only serve to keep this sims longevity ongoing.

I'll admit that I spend most of my time flying Axis types, so from that viewpoint there are stand out types (and especially cockpit wise) that need a just a little TLC. king of these are the Bf109's but the Ju87's, He111 and even the Ju88's could also benefit from a little love, and I'd even settle for just a refresh of the internal textures.

I know there are also several Soviet and Allied types that are equally crying out for that same level of love.

[Janosch]

I'd settle for bringing certain planes to a practical standard (missing fuel gauges)

Agree with the above two posts, 109's, 47's, Spits, etc could really use a cockpit retexture. With that said ill never get tired of more flyables though. Any updates a good update.

[Derda508]

Absolutely agree. While new flyables are always welcome (Me 210/410) I don´t think they are the most important missing parts.
Thanks to TD, we already have an almost unbelievable number of planes. A number that, from what I can see, no other Sim will ever reach. The same is true for maps and theaters. On the other hand, Il-2 1946 will never be able to reach the standards of graphics of more recent sims. So why try? Ok, bringing it closer might help to get some more pilots in their seats.
Thus, where Il-2 1946 shines most is offline, because of the number of planes and theaters, the huge community created content and because of the quality of AI. This is in many ways still far better than in the newer sims.
Still, we have some threads in this forum with very interesting ideas and suggestions of how to improve this even more. This would be number one of my personal wish-list.

But whatever you guys from TD do, be sure it is appreciatted.
Thank you very much indeed!

I agree.

Results so far;
~ Squared off the forward carb opening
~ Squared off the 50cal gun fairings
~ Rounded 50cal mgun barrels
~ Lowered the carb scoop
~ Lowered the angle front top cowl right behind the prop
~ redid the rudder (no longer looks like a waffle)
~ added full wheel strut doors (original had 1/3 doors, original mod by ME)

Not-A-Mod :


Also added a couple key features to the Hawk81-A cockpit, infamous prestone warnings among many other things:

Most of the planes on the list exist as mods. It might be possible to get some new planes in the game by reaching out to modders, at least for content that meet's TD's standards.
