I am not calling you names Alemart_el_Redentor.
So what is your problem.

Well yeah maybe i went a little too far, sorry, it is just that i am SO very bad with jokes (i just do not get them :S), and after your "sorry the planes are just...", i was like searching everywhere to find out WHY did IL2 had that limitation.
Again, sorry, i am the moron actually ^^;

All because I posted this picture it becomes a request! You sure as hell can count me in on wanting this! You got my vote partner!

Well, you mentioned the Goblin and it wouldn't exist without the B-36, both 2 interesting planes that'd be great to have

Oh, the only limitation I see is polygons for such a beast.

[psychobob]

+1 B-36

-1 Goblin.

No ay problema amigo. No problem friend.
If you noticed a while back, everyone already had a talk about a request on this B-36, from
another request on the same airplane.
At that time I was confused if the airplane was just a little too big (wide) for IL-2 game landing strips,
and it is, but it can be done.
But if the aircraft ever gets to be included into the game, then new maps with larger airfields
would have to be created, as this is a BIG airplane. Almost like 3 B-29 next to each other.
As for the Goblin, I was joking too, but I am also serious too. The Goblin aircraft is very small
and the actual pilots we have for the game might be too big to fit into the airplane cockpit. It would
look a bit weird. Unless
someone can put in a smaller pilot, like what GJE52 did with that Horten/Gotha Night-fighter with the
small pilot sitting in the rear seat. It might just work.
Either way, there are just so so many requests for aircraft, and not enough specialized people to
put them into the game. It is not just designing the airplane in 3D but what comes afterwards with
working the entire airplane to be inside the game and flying properly. Not easy job.
Takes along time and patience.
Perhaps one day a B-36 will fly again

Ok, so who wants to model them?

Also a bit of info, back in September of 1949, a B-36 crashed into Lake Worth a few miles from my house. The Plane sunk under 25 feet of water, and I believe was recoverd from the lake, but there are roumors that the bomber may still be partly in the lake in peices.

Max, instead of making the pilot fit the plane, make the plane fit the pilot... That'd be much simpler.

Interesting pictures. Thanks for posting. Kind of reminds me of a "International incident" that happened
here in the Iberian Peninsula in the early 1950

[Anthony817]

Yeah I remember hearing about the 2 lost bombs! Talk about a horrible scenario if they exploded!

Well, I doubt that the plane was carring nukes. Here is an exerpt from the Fort Worth Star Telegram, our news paper.

Reports from the crew survivors indicated that the bomber probably crashed when a couple of props reversed their pitch on the take-off, causing a braking effect on the plane's left side. The plane's speed broke about half-way down the runway traveling at about 100 miles per hour. Without enough speed for a successful take-off, the plane "mushed" over into the lake and settled approximately 200 yards from shore. Carswell crash boat crews and civilian boats rushed to the scene. They picked up the survivors, some of whom were swimming near the wreckage. J.M. Crump, city traffic signal foreman, who witnessed the tragedy while fishing on the dock of his Lake Worth home, said he heard "an awful noise at first and then a streak of flame shot out behind the big ship."

I just do not understand how could the pilots be "too big" if they are "normal" pilots, aniway, i am not pushing anithing here, i just stated that this plane/planes had my vote.
And sorry again max_thehitman, thanks for forgiving me ^_^

[Anthony817]

Well, the Komet is only a little bit bigger than the Goblin, so I don't think it would be any problem at all really.

-1 from me... It just doesn't hit it.

The XB-36 flew in 1946 it was completely different than the version on the first page,the version in the pic is a B-36D featherweight II config from the mid 50s (a light model of the B-36).1946 VERSION BELOW
The prototype(1946)....HUGE landing gear,no outboard jet engines,cockpit arrangement very different,MUCH heavier,And older engines then the late B-36s.


The B-36 was an excellent aircraft I'll admit but when the air force(US) developed the B-52(in service 1955 XB-52 first flight 1952) and well the B-36 was an obsolete aircraft by the late 50s.
