lol a jet for the IL-2 flight model :roll:
As you said, feel free to carry on and keep us updated, I just have 2 little question2:
1) why in IL-2?
2) what kind of accuracy level are you looking to achieve?
we all know (more or less..) the limitations of this flight model, which is borderline acceptable (and anyway incomplete) for propeller driven airplanes, so why bothering spending time and effort in something that will never actually be that good?
If it's because you want to be able to see a jet in the game engine, fair enough, but there are far better sims for jets that take a lot of other parameters into account (high speed alpha stall, compressor stall, transonic and supersonic FM, flutter etc..), not to mention all the armament system, which apart for the conventional bombs and cannon should be built from scratch..
If I really had to think of a modern jet to fiddle with, I'd choose a Harrier, which at least is subsonic but it would be a real challenge to fly..
Again, you'll never achieve the realism of other available sims..
I don't mean to diss or anything, I'm genuinely interested in the aims of this project.
