People scour books just to find a plane they haven't seen requested before just to be the first to post the request. Planes are only created by those that have the desire to make them. If someone is willing to put out the time and effort they can build whatever they want. Even an F4 Phantom.
S~ You my friend, have earned a fan for life with this statement. For so long I have seen peeps come here and ask about a post WW2 plane, only to get the ole smug "This is a WW2 SIM!!" which is contradictory when there is a mod pack being worked on for WW1 and have in the end seemed to compromise to the extent with the Korean era. The big argument also, is the super sonic boundaries that many says is not possible in this sim, however, myself included, wouldn't really be bothered if the F-4 or the F-100 Super Sabre had around the same speed as todays jets in IL2 modland, it's more or less the thrill of seeing how detailed and creative a modder can be in creating the planes, not to mention the aspect of opening the door to even more campaign ideas. With the 4.10 update that team D is working on, with guided weapons, radio guided navigation, I am thinking it will be just a matter of time before the early "nam" age will be upon us. As for your Spooky BBury, congradulations, and i wouldn't mind having that plane myself, I can start working on early Vietnam battles with the C-47. BTW I was reading C Yeagers Bio and he mentioned that the F-100 Super Sabre was actually created in the early 50's along with prototypes of the Phantom...just a lil history I wanted to lay on yas....
