~S~ Jolly,
Not sure if you noticed this statement in that download page:
"Remember this uses the same FM as the B5N2 so there is no issue of cheating online with this mod"

I read somewhere that the Typhoon and Tempest could carry up to 16 rockets... I don't know why such a loadout wasn't given in this sim?

Source? I highly doubt that a double-tiered rocket loadout would have been fitted to a Typhoon. I do know this was a standard armament option for the Sea Fury:

Sea-fury looks soo much like the MK.II
Btw Ranwers, could you make a Mk.II next please? if thats what some people would like
Also it could account for a Sea-fury

Actually we should ask that the rockets from the Tempest be removed:

Oleg said the rockets were included as a sop to those who wanted to fly Typhoon-type missions. But the point is valid - where does the quest for realism end? I can't see people voluntarily removing particular loadouts no matter how unrealistic. :wink:
The twin MK 108 gondolas on certain late war 109s are historically incorrect.
Butch2K (Oleg's main Luftwaffe advisor) confirmed on the Ubi board that they were included as a 109 loadout by mistake - they were never used operationally due to vibration problems. He told Oleg this on several occasions, but was apparently ignored!
I also heard that the IL2's phosphorous bomb VAP 250s and mustard-gas AJ2 cassette were very rarely used and are historically irrelevant, but they do add to the gaiety of life (or death, rather).

Meh. Real Typhoon pilots use bombs. 8)

I would... :mrgreen: ...the quest ends when it's real
:twisted:
btw, the Tempest in IL2 dose not use zero length rails :wink:

I just tried this for the first time and I think it's pretty good! Well done Ranwers!
In cockpit view it's totally convincing, in external, maybe 85% convincing. It certainly passes the 'suspension of disbelief' test from most angles.
One bug report: The landing gear legs are not mounted in identical positions. I'd favour the starboard one being moved further out to maintain the wide-track look of the Typhoon.
A suggestion for Ranwers - could you extend the Hurricane fin to include a little of the Hurricane spine? That might fill the small gap in front of the fin.
I'm surprised the wing and fin/rudder look the right size - I expected them to look too small. Did you re-scale the meshes?
Anyway, with a nice skin it'll be even more convincing. Good luck sorting this out Ranwers!
