But do a few otherse wish people would put some of their undeniable talent and effort going into complete fantasy planes like the G10NI and various Luft '46 designs into actual airplanes that actually flew? There are lots of important aircraft which actually contributed in WW2 which are missing (Helldiver, Ki-44, Defiant, Meteor, etc). There are other planes (like the J7W, G8N, Me-264, B-35, B-36, Vampire) which could realistically be placed in hypothetical '46+ scenarios - and I hope they get finished. But the G10N1? Of course Oleg himself started this with the Lerche.
The other problem I have with putting totally paper planes into this sim is that there is no way a FM and DM can be realistically developed. Manufacturer's estimates are notoriously optimistic.
I actually LIKE fantasy planes, and wouldn't mind seeing them in an add-on to this sim. But in that case, I'd just as soon see modders design their own or work with other fictional designs like those in Crimson Skies (or Indiana Jones' Bv38) as put a lot of effort into "real" designs which would never have been produced in real life.
