Jason_Williams Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Quote 312 Dear Friends, Today’s Developer Diary showcases our upcoming and awesome Mosquito FB Mk.VI. Isn’t she a beauty? Our “Wooden Wonder” as it was called, is in the later stages of development and we have already completed some of her skins that will be included. Work on her flight model has begun and work on finishing her cockpit continues. We are doing all we can to get her into your hangars just as soon as possible. We know she is a hotly anticipated plane and the wait is difficult, but please have patience, we think she will be worth it! Full Text and Visuals HERE. Jason 25 6
Asgar Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 The Mosquito looks stunning! Can't wait to start flying it and the other remaining BoN planes! 1
Jaws2002 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Cool. new propellers. Mossie looks cool as well. Thank you.
Jocko Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Happy to see that the appearance of the prop disc is being worked on. In VR especially they could use some improvement. Right now the props and spinners look like they are always in slow motion.
Jade_Monkey Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Great news! Propellers effect update is another nice surprise this year! 1 1
Rjel Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 The Mosquito truly does look amazing. It will be worth the wait. I'm glad to hear work is being done on the prop disc display. I'd like to see those fine light lines in the propeller disc that simulate the blade's movement darkened a bit though. I'm sure it's reflecting the sun but it looks a little odd to me. 3
Noisemaker Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Release the mosquito! Just in time for the lovely northern spring and summer, where we have to huddle inside to avoid them outside! 1
BMA_FlyingShark Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 She is indeed a beauty. And nice work on those propellers. Have a nice day.
BlitzPig_EL Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) The BlitzPigs keenly await the Mosquito. Ground pounding is our thing, and a fast, agile ground pounder will be heaven for us. Oink oink! ? Edited March 25, 2022 by BlitzPig_EL 1 1 1
Docholiday Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Yes !!!! She is a Beauty !!? I see on the picture of the Costal-Command Mossie the Twin-Rocket rails the CC used together with the Droptanks ? Will we get the Drop-tanks too ?? One remark: The Costal command did not use the flame hiders on her Mossies .. You are right: It is hard to wait for the Mossie ! THX for Your work Doc
SCG_Faerber Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I understand this may not be the place for it but will we still be receiving the tactical codes and custom numberings for old aircraft? 1

Zargos Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Propeller disks are nice and the Mosquito is just awesome !
ATAG_SKUD Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 My father was an instrumentation and electrical specialist for the RCAF based at Leeming in the UK during the last couple of years of WW2. He was mainly involved with Lancasters and Halifaxes but he did mention that mosquitos were based there around the end of his tour. He mentioned that the mosquito had a placard in the cockpit that warned "Do Not Bank Over 500 MPH". I've tried finding a picture of this placard on google to no avail. Just wondering if anyone here has seen it. Among the other stories he told me were the flying in of a captured FW-190 on some sort of RAF tour, the day some mechanics (not him) were goofing around in the cockpit of a loaded Lanc, pushing buttons inadvertently dropped fuel that subsequently ignited, and set off a 4000 lb blockbuster it was carrying -they all ran and got away safely before it detonated but an engine struck and killed a cow a mile away. And then there was the night Ju-88s shot up the base and someone had removed all the barrels from the light AA guns they were supposed to man during attack. skud 3
Mm1ut1 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 What can the observer/navigator do in the Mossie ? Just curious…
blitze Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) As much as I protest about being eaten by mosquitos in Summer - I love that plane. She's a treat. Also, improved prop disk - thank you. Edited March 25, 2022 by blitze typing error
Docjonel Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Didn't realize how much I wanted the Mossie until I saw those stunning pics! This sim is ever improving- great job by all involved. 2

In real life all radio comms and radio-navigation was on his shoulders. Plus, an extra pair of eyes to look out was a bonus, of course.
JG7_X-Man Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 @Jason_Williams Awesome work to you and the team! Hey if you promise to keep cracking out great content like this, I promise do my little itty-bitty part of adding to the revenue stream LOL
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I think a navigator ai would be cool for bombers. If having a pre set flight path and then the navigator would read out direction for given minutes at speed…. Instead of having to check the map every two minutes… our pilots in SP already call out bandits etc. automatically.. what’s adding to say a heading, speed, and alt? Also, curious about the new prop and vr.. 4
Zeev Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 How much guns does a plane needs? Thats a lot of guns on the nose, not including the picture with all the rockets and guns on the wings.
migmadmarine Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 4mg and 4 cannon is chunky, but not an outlier I'd say.
S10JlAbraxis Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Prop update looks great! Can't wait to see it in action.
1CGS LukeFF Posted March 25, 2022 1CGS Posted March 25, 2022 Nice to see the 'Tsetse' modification there. ? 1

ZachariasX Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 The Mossie is looking great! Can‘t wait for its release!

My compliments to the modelers and texture artists. I can't wait to see the cockpit. Nice work.
VR_Dogfighter Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Awesome looking addition.. Hopefully not too long to wait now. On a side note on propellers...How come we never see prop damage from enemy gunfire? Did this never happen? I mean even when our planes are peppered with bullet holes the prop is never damaged? ?

Friend of mine claims to have had a prop shot off in the Handly Page a couple days ago. I imagine it is just highly, highly improbable.
