Lets hope we're not. At the moment every is going according to the plan.   Only fear we have - the new GUI development. While Scale Form API is dead for 6 years allready - its become impossible to find developers for it. So evolution of current GUI have stuck. "Marshall sad story" - one of the cosequences of that. Last year we have took decision which should be taken several years ago - to develop new IL-2 GUI using another API from the scratch to allow IL-2 gamedesign to evo

While IL2 is focused on prop planes, we have made may be the one of the best steps in tank combat simulation as side-project.   So... I am not hinting at anything, but there are no principal limitations or barriers in our game engine and graphics engine to evolve it for something like "F-35 versus Su-57" or "Wings over Vietnam", or even for round-world modelling, or riding your Harley to the airbase and walking around your plane and checking its insides, talking to technicans, and othe

Posted by Han,

We should have 1st plane in the project to make fair statements about what project will contain. Initial idea - to announce it and tell about details long later - we disliked it after some thinking. Plus, now, we have an external example, when you announcing something when you have nothing in your hands - it will not statisfy the community. Community will ask "so... and what? what next? what exactly you will do?". And you have no answers which are sure by yourself. As I've said before - many tec

Yes and No. We started development of all airplanes. Yes. But:   We still have no final sure how many them will be player controlled and how many of them will be ready till release date.   So: Yes and No.   And if we will not post the player's planeset and release date in a week after announce - you guys will walk around our office with pitchforks and torches claiming about them (planeset and release date) same as now you claim for announce.   And thi

We would never have trust in the new game if they abandoned old.

Well , that was the case with Rise of Flight, since BOS came out. The statement was that new technologies developed for BOS would benefit also ROF but that not happened. Fortunetly for us they move ROF to FC but we need to pay again.

Haha, now I know that in addition to aviation and racing you also like fishing (with bait).

 

Spoiler

Anyway, if someone wants to compare the graph that JG27_Abaster posted to the textbook graph, here they are on top of each other.

I am so much looking forward to Korea with no carriers... Oh, wait

 

 

Yeah.. I'd really put my money into a market where I rely on the historic refusal of the competitor to make a meaningful combination of mostly existing assets.

Holy crap. This is available?

VSN have a stable of flyable mods for DCS... As well as the Panther, they do the F-80 and F-84 for Korea if I'm not mistaken.

I respect those making mods. I really do. But I had enough of those mods with placeholder pits in old IL 2. 
besides not many mods survive a patch or two and the risk of messing up campaigns are pretty high. 
I got the A 4 and c 130 mod. They seem to be updated

Try it:

Does it come with USS Essex or is that separate (searched but didn't see info)? Looked awesome (aside from those dodgy single 5" turrets astride the island?). I'm not a big fan of DCS but still, fake cockpit or not, I'd be down for flying Panthers on/off Essex.

I haven't used this mod yet myself, so I don't know specifics.

Frankly speaking, I really don't understand what the last 5-6 posts have to do with the current or the coming development of IL-2. However, I hope that they will survive tomorrow with the reference to DxS. ?

 

Be careful, I bet on a moderation. He´s coming....

You two guys haven't got it yet and I personally don't see myself as Lucky Luke.  Others will do that, we'll see what happens ;)

 

Have fun in the meanwhile.

Interesting..  those sure look like WW2 stars and bars. And I see japanese kill markings.   Looks to me like an earlier version than what flew in KOREA.   But I'm no expert..  The Korean conflict corsairs I'm familiar with have national insignia that look like this..   But id bet there were probably different insignia used at different times during the conflict. image.png.c27f315dad0d6bfeb23777be01efb207.png

 

And I thought the Korean era planes had less framing on the canopy?    And I see Japanese kill markings on the fuselage.   The article referenced where the photo was apparently borrowed,  refers to various battles from WW2,  to 1969 soccer war.  It would appear the photo Gambit has shared is a WW2 photo..

 

Which is cool.  And I'm also hoping we see marine corsairs from the Solomons in WW2 as a future module..

You seem confused?  The corsair in your photo,  appears to be a WW2 issued aircraft.   Was that not intentional?

I just posted a picture of a pretty Corsair - no idea beyond that. Good eye though. ;)

Hey Mitchell, goofing off aside, you should read the “South Pacific Air War” series by Claringbould/Ingman if you haven’t already. You’d enjoy them, and a good fix…and also makes it harder to wait. ;)

F4U-1, as it appears to me. I gather in Korea, F4U-5's were used? Four bladed prop and cannons (plus internal differences). If it was Korea, then Mr. Group Commander had an old kite as a hack... But if It is Korea, then this engine modification would make sense. Remember the Fokker D7 we have in FC... ^^

According to Wikimedia it is a F3A-1 (Brewster built Corsair) of Marine Air Group 91, pictured in 1945.

So Gambit has been throwing us off the correct path all of this time, it's not Korea. It is the Pacific and will certainly include carriers. Gambit, you sorry dog!:rolleyes:

Nice catch. Not a nice airplane though, even if it would be a nice challenge to fly if they decide to model random faults and production defects (a long standing dream of mine, also very useful for late war Japanese products).

? 

 

I very much think it’s Korea but would be much happier with CBI (since PTO is out) 
 

Aside from other big factors, trying to take on Japanese aircraft on top of everything else that’s on their plate - too much risk factor, unknowns, research burden etc. 

 

With Korea I imagine that they’d return and add carriers later after the appropriate tech is developed. So I think those concerns will be assuaged at some point.

 

The MiG 15 really is a neat airplane - there’s just something about it. Beautiful, but mean looking…not push-buttony…big gun. A long time favorite. F-86 vs MiG 15 alone is a big draw I think.

 

For me still just a side-show while I wait for PTO etc.

I saw the Planes of Fame (flyable) MiG-15 last Saturday while there to see the Mosquito. Awesome plane and it's a likely Korea War vet, in largely as-built condition:

The collection of aircraft at Planes of Fame is legendary, and as I hadn't been there in years, I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to get photos of as many planes as I could.
