New Planes and upgrades
« on: March 16, 2012, 03:33:44 PM »
Two things I would like to see. An Attack variant of the Yakovlev 9 and the Me410 Hornisse.
As far as upgrades to existing planes, I'd like to see an acurate version of the Yak cockpit.

Cockpits are as accurate as HTC wants to make them. There are game play reasons for standard features in cockpits that weren't in the originals. These standard features allow more realistic air combat at the expense of realistic cockpit modeling. If you're referring to updating old cockpits to the newer graphics that will happen eventually for all the older models.

The yaks have the old modeling, and have not been updated to the newer 3d modeling as yet. I am sure they are on the list...like all of the other planes that still have the older modeling on them are... to be brought up to date.

I wish people would understand that HTC has a small number of people working for them and it takes time for these things to get down. This is NOT "Blizzard" where they have 100's of artists and animators to work on updates.

This is very true, both about updating the old models and adding new models.  Things need to be considered in a Return On Investment factor, so when one presents a long list of rare, large aircraft that you want added, well, the ROI on them is low compared to something like the A-26 or He111.

The list of units needing to be updated has gotten tantalizingly short:

A-20G
Ar234B
B-26B
B5N2
B110C-4b
Bf110G-2
Boston Mk III
C.202
C.205
D3A1
F4F-4
FM2
Hurricane Mk I
Hurricane Mk IIc
Hurricane Mk IId
Ju87D-3
Ju88A-4
Ki-61-I-Tei
Ki-67
Lancaster Mk III
M8
Me163B
SBD-5
TBM-3
Tempest Mk V
Yak-9T
Yak-9U

the tempest makes no sense to me considering it has the same interior as the typhoon. . .which has a fantastic interior.  The yak interior makes me cry.
