Now that you guys are so close to being able to add new planes and are wondering about FM issues consider starting with new planes that need no new Flight Models. For example
1) A real I-16 series 24 with 4mg's. Rename the old type 24 as a type 27. No new Flight model needed as the old type 24 FM is correct. (Oleg gave us the type 27 not the 24 claimed)
2) A Lagg 3 series 1 delete the 20mm gun and replace it with a 12.7mm . The series 4 Lagg FM would be OK as it was modeled with a pre-war FM anyway.
3) I16 type 29 (The last of the Ratas) Armed with one 12.7mm and Two 7.62mg's.
4) BF-109E3 modified cockpit same engine as E4 we have so no FM changes needed.
5) Finnish Hawk 74A-3/A4 mods adding 2 50's to wings replacing the .30 MG's. Same FM
6) P40N use M model FM.
You get the idea. No need to toy with Flight models to start with.
