Cleo9 Posted September 24, 2022 Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Hi everybody, not sure this is the place to post this, bet there it is : While playing a 316 polish squadron P51 career this is what I got in the "world news" section... Beurling retired... This is not even a picture of him... Look at the real face of his to compare... be serious guys : world news referring to other pilots have their real pictures, like Grabeski for instance. As a proud Canadian, I think this is fairly insulting. A simple google of 10 seconds should have done the job but you were too lazy to do so apparently. Embarrassing, you opted for a generic pic instead of the real thing... So much for historical accuracy, of which you are so proud of in general. Now, concerning his retirement : Beurling was a "tête brûlée", hence his nicknames, Buzz and Screwball. He would not follow RAF combat rules, he was a lone wolf and was disliked by his officers. in 1943, after Malta, he served briefly with 403 in England. he wanted the RAF/RCAF to create an elite P51 squadron to escort bombers and go after the "experten". He was not listened to and a "mutual agreement" was reached : he was returned to Canada. The RCAF finally got its 2 first P51 squadrons in May 1945 (441 and 442) Edited September 24, 2022 by Cleo9 1

Yeah, Google, then find the original source, hunt down the photographer, get permission to use it, pay for licensing, etc, the list goes on. IL-2 is a commercial product, not a high school Powerpoint where you can just slap pictures in it however you want. There are other things at play.

Don't be ridiculous, are there copyrights attached to his name and web pics ??, Even if there were, they did not do their job, period. There's nothing else at play Edited September 24, 2022 by Cleo9 1 1

How about coming across in a little more respectful manner than firing off accusations of things being done lazily and half-assed? Oh, and you're welcome for the fix.

As I said, it would have taken 10 seconds... And since btw you are talking about respect, it would have been a good expression of respect in itself to take those 10 seconds, just mentioning... Anyway, tks for welcoming the fix; would you have liked to see Grabeski portrayed as someone else ? I guess not and this is precisely my point. Good evening. Proudly Canadian; I am from Montreal, just like Beurling himself. 1
