Hi Arlo,

Thanks by your link. It shows an interesting idea.

In fact, I-16 is really flyable in one simulator (email me and i´ll tell you about it) and i hope it (I-16) will can flyable in Il-2.

However both simulator havent SCW scenary  :(.

It's the studmuffingot ones you really have to watch out for .... they always seem to find a way behind you. And it's hard to sneak up on someone when they sit backwards in their cockpit.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION

    At the San Sadurní de Noya fighter pilot training school the students were rather bored. To relieve their boredom, with the Director's agreement they set up a neat little initiation ceremony for the new intake. A group of veterans set themselves up as the "Medical Reception" team and without more ado dressed up in the typical white coats, with stethoscopes and books of notes.  Even girls from the School admin section dressed up in white nurses' uniforms.
 
    A complete fake medical team to receive a bunch of keen rookies.The first rookie stepped up."Doctor Lorente" examined his chest, all the time grimacing horribly.The "Medical Team" observed the "patient", worried expressions on their faces.The new arrival's expression was one of total surprise. He had passed all the medical tests and they had found nothing wrong. He couldn't understand it.

-"Aha, you've got a swollen laryngopulmonic traphagus" - exclaimed the "Doctor".
-"I agree, captain.  He shows all the signs of wind in the head from heading into wind".
-"Is it serious, Doctor?"- asked the student.
-"We'll find out later on. Sit on the bed and sing us a nice folk song or something".
-"I can't sing, Doctor".
-"It doesn't matter, even if you're a lousy singer, sing something, anything at all, because I have to measure your Alpha rythmic sonic mnemonic while you sing".
-"Very well, Doctor".

    The poor lad droned out an old Asturian song.While he sang the "Medical Reception Team" frantically took a mountain of notes.Then came all sorts of physical exercises. Theoretical parachute jumps and drinking two pints of water were tests which formed another part of the "medical examination". And all done naked.The best bit for sure was when a "sergeant" came in with a sorrowful look on his face, stood to attention and said:

-"Doctor, another student has just killed himself"
And the "Doctor" replied solemnly:
-"That makes five this morning. This isn't a flying training school.  It's a slaughterhouse".

    The rookie's expression was a sight to see. Eventually the joke reached its finale with all the other students and permanent staff coming in, each wielding a pillow and letting fly at everybody else. Suddenly the rookie realised that it was all a joke and joined in the fun, completely forgetting that he was in his "birthday suit" and there were girls around.

    Three or four times the prank ended with everyone, veterans and rookies, some fully clothed and others not, in the pond of the main square.Then the real Director turned up, along with the nursing staff and the genuine Doctor, and they all shared in the delight at receiving some new students.

With all this talk about scenarios, scenario groups, scenario settings ... and such .... anybody else here into the SCW?
Sure, it'd take a bit of modeling. I bet HT and Pyro would if there was enough interest behind it.

I'm sure it could be interesting but I'd like to see them get WWII figured out first.   :)

Allies won, Axis lost. (J/K) Looks like HT and co. pretty well have it workin'. Sure it could use some more. Hope you don't mind my lookin' ahead.  :)

Arlo, I'm interested in SCW and early WW2. Not currently flying in AH (am a WB'er) but desperately looking for a game that gives better gameplay and a better early-war planeset (BoB with no Heinkels and Dorniers?! No Reggia Aeronautica? No Russia ground attack? No British medium/heavy bombers? Almost no night action?)

WBIII might one day be very, VERY good, but it's far from there yet, and recent experience of scenario games in there shows WB2 still flies and plays better. (Serious visibility issues, plus WBIII terrains have gone the wrong way so far - smaller instead of bigger)

As for new planes, I'm dubious, due to IEN wanting to hold copyright on planes players develop - I already know of some that were withdrawn from being offered because the designers felt they ought to have copyright on their own efforts. Apparently a Sabre has just been released, famous WW2 plane that THAT is... :-}

Not that I'm entirely enamoured of any of the other WW2 sims out ATM. AH - some very nice stuff (love those clouds! View system nice, too), too much late war, not enough early, dislike certain aspects of the FM "feel". WW2OL - vastly upset by the con of asking folk to pay for a product not as stated on the box, plus it hasnt got its first terrain and gameplay system sorted yet. Once it HAS - it should be awesome. Often wondered if CRS intend doing SCW on th second iteration...

It'd be nice to see some of the SCW/WW2 biplanes - CR32 & 42, Gladiator, He51, Hs123, that little Polikarpov the Russians had, plus the bomber version of the Ju52, the Ju86, Do23, Rata early 109s... I've just never understod why a company with a good basic WW1 product and a good basic WW2 product never thought to fill the gap in the middle... - and as for going post WW2, why not Shooting Stars and Meteors and Vampires, rather than Sabres (so "WW2 and a bit - 1946") could be fought..?

I'd also like to see FW200s and Hurricats in SOMEONE's game... :-}

But aye, get a good SCW setup going, I'll be there if I can, and do my best to interest others in it,too!

You're defintely a person after my own heart Esme. There's no reason to think we won't someday see this as a reality. I bet, with more people expressing an interest, over time, HT and co. will fill those gaps that some (many?) of us would like to see filled.  :)
