Well, I've recently had to reinstall IL-2 1946 because a mod ruined the startup (won't say which one) so I've been given time to think about it.
So, right now it is in the planning stage.
Here's the way it's looking:
You are a Vichy French pilot in West Africa (don't fret, this has something to do with being a prisoner of the Rising Sun), dogfighting the British when you request to be sent to Indochina. Your request is granted, and you are in Indochina when, in August 1940, the Japanese invade! The Empire of the Rising Sun will take Indochina and the Vichy French Air Force is evacuated to the Americans in the Philippines, where you fight until the fighting there ends on Corregidor. However that's not all! Even then, the French are evacuated not to Australia, but to Singapore, where you fight the Japanese until July 1944 - after being shot down and becoming a prisoner of war. You then realize that you were not the only one who fought the war, as you hear stories from other sides of the war!
Again, preview coming out soon, and a mission for the community on Christmas/Hannukah....
