I have a couple of small requests:
1. Should be a very easy plane to create, but sorely missed by all of us four-engine freaks:
B-24D
2. I'd also greatly appreciate seeing better loadouts for the B-24J, B-17E, B-17F and B-17G.
3. A nice fix for the B-17F would be to have it use the ball turret from the G so all of the windows are transparent. Also a B-17E with the Sperry ball turret. Very, very few B-17Es saw combat with the remotely controlled turret we have on the E right now.
4. Correct (change) the squadron/plane markings on the B-17F to math those used on the G. Three digit numbers? No B-17F ever carried marks like that. We want real 8th Air Force markings!
5. A much bigger project would be to fix several of the skin mapping issues with the B-17 series. The engine cowlings are a horrible mess and the ailerons and rudder halves use mirrored parts even though the individual parts are there on the skin.
6. YB-40?
I would be more than willing to tackle any of #2-5 if I knew how to go about doing the work.
These sounds like a good requests and can I ask you to help on this one? If you are able to find any informatino tha tincludes weapn load out, blueprint and everything that modders would need, in order, to develop B-24D and correct the existing aircraft in IL-2 in new slots. And if that is the case, will you please add them here? I will definely add these to the list with references materials. I can not promise you that I will be looking for references materials for aircraft of your requests, but I will definely try during my free time.
Chaoic out...
