Updates on Po-2?

[[APAF]VR_Spartan85]

I know this ship is just a initiation for another crew but I was curious on the status of development? Has the new team been doing well or is it something we do not speak of?

[Finkeren]

As with all other things, this is probably something the devs will show us, when there is something to show. Right now the 3rd party developer is likely deeply mired in “under the hood” stuff, which is at the heart of the sim but not really something you can show the community.

 

The time to model the Po-2 is likely going to be longer than the six week average for a fighter aircraft, since the team has to learn on the fly.

And boy an I excited over the idea of having another team adding planes on the side of main development. I BUY IT ALL

Looking forward to this one too.

[Danziger]

Yes. I too am eagerly awaiting the next delicious morsel of information on the progress of the U2. Maybe something in today's DD...

Contrary to popular belief all VVS gunnery training was done in Pe-2s.

Ok a juicy update: the cockpit is almost finished.

Just missing colors

It's gonna be weird flying a wood-and-canvas biplane with such a relatively modern-looking dashboard.

I hope it gets here sooner rather than later - such a cool little airplane.

Could that be a PO-2 still 'owning' this  BF-110 zerstorer to this very day ?

Release pack with an Hs-123?

But will it have MW50 and MK 108 as mods?

It's a Fw 44 Stieglitz trainer, not a Po-2.

 

Germans used captured Po-2s quite a bit as laision aircraft or glider tug. It was commonly known as the 'air tractor' due to it's reminiscent sound.

Thanks I suspected it wasn't a Po-2 but i wasn't sure what it was ( is why i was careful with my language......while also attempting to get a response from someone with a little 'troublemaking' tm )

 

Thankyou very much.

It was from a niceish webpage https://acesflyinghigh.wordpress.com/2017/01/21/the-survivors-messerschmitt-bf-110-zerstorer/

I saw a nice article in a paper I would not usually wipe my arse with. Low on details but some lovely photographs

Nice pictures, but the text for the first picture of Litvyak and Budanova made me cringe. So obviously written by a guy who didn’t know a thing and didn’t care. I mean: Did no one notice, that the 588th was presented as both a fighter- and night bomber regiment in the same article?

 

Also: Litvyak and Budanova’s unit was not “women-only”, far from it.
