Well helping the community and wanting to help the community are different things.
While all of these blueprints and side views help a bit, they only help so much. Most of the referenced work is in the Loadouts and FM. Which none of those planes have proper info for.
When i modder needs plane info, they will ask for help. Right now everyone is busy with something. So none of the requests will be getting done, and even when our current projects are done, we have others lined up to do. Its up to the modder which plane he wants to work on. Thats what will make it a good mod and not just a mod. We do not get paid for any of this. So why work on something of which we have no interest for?
I see you really want to help the community, but if everyone wants to help, then answer the call when a modder ask for help. I have made a couple of threads asking for help, and have gotten less than stellar answers. Then days later i a see a thread whining about something i am working on and they do not help with it.
You have made a nice plane catalog, and its put together nicely. But we need more info than just a small blueprint and a wikipedia summary...
For example.
Cockpit pictures, Various power settings used, Max manifold pressure, max prop RPM, Prop type, engine power, heights to engage supercharger and/or change supercharger, speeds at various altitudes, max allowable speed, fuel consumption, climb rate at various alts, weight with max load, weight empty, turn rate, weapon loadouts, damage resistance, etc....
There is alot needed for a proper plane. You cannot guess on alot of these.
