Ok consider this:
If any of these were completed, and we managed to get our little hands on them... what then...?
I was under the assumption that we are unable to actually add additional models to the game....
Considering aircraft slots, FM's etc... or are we at that stage - if so - whats stopping some clever individuals from making their OWN spit MkXIV's, or Lancasters etc...?
As I understand it, even if a model were created in 3D Studio Max (and you need the right version for IL2 - I think it was 3.5 or 4) it would be useless without a means of importing it into the game's 3D engine. Oleg probably does this with a proprietary tool ie a piece of code written by his guys to convert the Max files into a format understood by IL2. What that format is, I have no idea.
It might be an in-house one created by Maddox Games (.mad files?) or it might be a well known one. If it's a Maddox special then it might require a bit of reverse engineering to work out what's going on. From there I'm out of my depth - it can be done but it needs a coding guru to sort things out. :wink:

This may well have been a trademark issue.
Btw. Biggs made the Su-2
