First of all, I'm terribly sorry if i post this in the wrong forum.
Second of all, thanks all for this great community!
Now, I'll get to business!

I'm currently flying the MiGs which I've grown to love. I have never flown at really high altitudes that much previously (4000+) But I must say, it's a delight with AM-35 engine MiGs, as well as the prototype AM-38 Il-2 engine MiG for lower altitudes. My request here is this: Isn't there a way to make changes for the MiG? Like some historians claim that some MiGs used really brute aiming devices and some had the 12mm machineguns installed right into the wing instead of the pods mounted beneath. I would love to see that the MiG get some attention from the people who's made wonderful jobs with the 109s! Also, the MiG cockpit looks kinda terrible as it is from the very first Il2 game.

Any ideas are welcome and I hope there's more people who want this.
Thanks for a great community again and I can't express how fun it's been with all the mods and maps!
Makes me forget that late game Storm of War...

Well, the MiG definitely needs a little bit of new paint in the pit, but the thing with the MG would be a Weapons change, wouldn't it? And these crude aiming devices...you mean ring and bead? Or crude reflector-gunsights?

No, it wouldn't. That would be ok, as long as its not a change in weapon TYPE or strength etc. The mesh for the "guns" contains a hook for the weapon to be attached to. Basically, all it would do is follow the mesh...

Perfectly legal, and completely doable.

Thanks for the replies!

Yeah, I mean perhaps ring and bead, weapon change or another aircraft? They already have essetially several identical aircraft except for changes in weapons. I really don't know much about the rules of cunduct within modding but perhaps if someone looks into the history of MiG it would be cool to see different versions, field mods and other?

Cheers!
