That P-51 looks very sweet.
I can only hope for a P-38 sometime

Hristo did you get to fly the pony?

P51 is AI only until they get to model the cockpit.

As for performance, Oleg has mentioned his sources stating somewhat suspicious top speeds for P51 (

). Something about 410 mph at alt and brief periods (about 1 minute) and then overheat and damage. Best to wait until it is flyable and see.

is this IL2 thingie ever going MMOG?

It seems like a nice effort in many ways, however, I gave up boxed sims after I discovered AWDOS some 12 years ago and have never looked back.

This question has been presented to Oleg several times and he never gave a definite answer. Reading through the lines though, he seems to have it planned for some time, but that's just my impression (he discussed online code, servers, costs and actually stated that he has a team more than capable to do it).

Right now the whole development team is focused on FB, which is an offline/online sim, certainly not 24/7 MMOG.

Still, with the 3 big online arenas/campaigns (Ilyushin Online War, Dead is Dead and Virtual Eastern Front) IL2 offers a very enjoyable online expierence. It's like an ongoing ToD or series of mini-scenarios. Fly to achieve the mission goal and live! 16 players max but with added AI and ground units thrilling every time! All on full realism without icons (IOW without padlock even).

I would love to see IL2 go MMOG but as stated that won't happen with FB nor the next sim from Maddox Games - but who knows the future? IL2 has great potential: last SAT over 560 pilots online in Hyperlobby ALONE!!!!

There's Fw 190A-9 for you in FB

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #24 on:** November 28, 2002, 07:10:32 PM »

What's so good about the A-9? All sources I have say it's just a proposed Rammjaerger which incorporated the BMW801F-1 and heavily armored wing leading edges.

With only 6 prototypes?

Isn't it supposed it have a lot mor epower tha the A8?

Having said that the A8 in Il2 is somewhat porked anyway: I'm hoping for some FM changes in FB.

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #26 on:** November 28, 2002, 08:05:57 PM »

A9 adds to A8 a much more powerful engine the 801F or 801TS IRRC, a standard blown canopy, new 14 blade cooling fan, and new wide blade prop.

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #27 on:** November 28, 2002, 08:14:30 PM »

Is it a rammjaeger by default?

Seems to me the more powerful engine would be negated by the extra armor around the cockpit/wings?

No matter what you think of the game... they do make some pretty planes.

Does this mean somebody finally found documentation of Fw 190A-9 series production, performance, and delivery to the Luftwaffe?
