Well you can fly a hacked Fairey Battle or not fly a Fairey Battle at all, let the guys work on it, don't start asking for perfect models, that's what killed almost all the projects for Il2

You're right. In fact, there are many mods which I have chosen to ignore, namely flying B-29's with a He111 cockpit, and others which I have openly downloaded because they didnt detract from the essence of the aircraft, like the Mosquito VI cockpit in the Mosquito B IV...

That said, I find this sort of thing ridiculous, especially pushing to have a Typhoon which is made from a Tempest fuselage, B5N wing(which is too big BTW) and a Hurricane vertical stabilizer. That will kill it for me right there.

Its nice to have new planes and all, but its also good to have a standard.

Hey, I'm not pushing for anything, I'm just making a suggestion to explore the envelope of what's possible. It's then up to everyone else to decide whether they like the results. You're not the only aesthete here and you're not the judge and jury. Nobody would like a perfect Typhoon more than me, but unless you or I make one we ain't gonna get one. Who is going to do this work? It takes a minimum of three months to create a 3D aircraft model for IL2. Even then, there is no guarantee that new models could be imported into the game - that hurdle hasn't been crossed yet. I mentioned the Typhoon, because, as nice as a Battle is, a Typhoon would be more popular. I'm perfectly aware of the shortcomings of what we have; it's a question right now of doing the best that can be done and taking it on from there. If you don't like the result of any mod, you don't have to download it.

EDIT: I don't even know if I'd like it myself, but I'd like to see it first. :wink:
