Russia
Japan

next up are:

Holland
France
Canada

If you want a country besides these to be added, please post below. Also, please indicate if you will be able to help with a) locating images of medals and ribbons for your country, b) researching squadrons for your country and/or c) recording wav files for your country. This is important because those countries with all 3 criteria filled will be tackled first. Lastly, post ASAP because there will be a deadline for requests - 11:59pm Sunday (GMT).

Thanks!

What are you talking about AE71_INFERNO?

Canada and Australia mostly used alot of the british planes So we have lots of planes for them. I don't know much about the Aus planes but Canada used the spit. The hurricain i would think the lanc. And probly some more (seafire and fury after the war at least)

And nuum, countries of other era's are possible. The WW1 scene is really expanding so we can always add some of those countries later on.

This is great !

One more thing I'd like to clear up- The reason why I plan on making sound packs for countries like Australia and Canada is that even through they were allied to the UK, flew the same planes (for the most part) and spoke the same language (for the most part ) They had their own squadrons and have their own accents, so I think it would add to the realism factor, and appeal to players in these countries. How often does a sim come around that features Australian squadrons with Australian voices? With that in mind, if you know of a country whose language is already represented in the game, please don't hesitate to add it to the list.

We have no french plane (yet), but AFAIK french squadrons could use P-47's, P-40's and P-39's. Those are in the works, right? And maybe Mustangs, or was it post-war? Of course, they used a lot of spits too but mostly in RAF french squadrons, and those pilots were required to use english on the radio (just like polish, dutch and others). So they should be defined as english squadrons.

The P-40, when released, could probably quickly be hacked into a P-36 (different engine). The french called it "Curtiss H-75" and used it against the germans and italians in 1940 and breifly against the americans in 1942.

If your filesize does exceed .5 mb, email me and we'll make special arrangements.

nuum, sv & the WWI crew - so what do you want done with Austrohungary now? A nation but no sounds?

I think that no sound is better.
The WWI crew is trying to convert SDOE to WWI and it will be very strange to hear radio messages.
I will send the medals and squadrons to you.

Nuum,
Actually I already have JG1_Jasta 11 and JG2_Jasta 15 done and in the game

As for sounds and WWI folders. I think that no wireless is better And for the new nations, perhaps for say Austrian-Hungarian, maybe we could just go with a "Cenrtal Powers" nation and so on. That will help from cluttering up the nations menus.

And a note on the language for Austrian-Hungarian, to the best of my knowledge, at the time the common language between the nations that made up these states was German in on form or another.

Great to see things progressing.

I'm ready to help with getting Finland into SDOE.

I have all the 3 criteria filled already, except the sounds.

The ranks and medals can be seen at our website: link in my signature. I'll just ask my CO if its ok to use them in SDOE.

I can get a list of squads easily, but how much info do you need of them? Just a few lines? I think I can manage that

If someone can send me a list of the required sounds, I can record them. I hope that is as easy as it sounds I guess the smaller the better, so I have to choose the sample rate carefully?

Not only did they have a couple of neat birds of their own, they shot down more Allied planes than the Germans in defending their oilfields.

Recently read about the Ploesti raid, and one of the survivors who was shot down & survived said as low as they were flying, this Rumanian who shot them down was not only flying lower, but inverted!
