One good thing: plane pack and ground updates would be separate. That means smaller downloads and a faster release schedule

Here is a more important question: For things like bridges, etc. that really need a permanent placement on the map- should these be distributed with a new terrain SM file? They can be hidden on mission maps if not desired for certain missions. This would mean much less time placing these types of objects.

Basically we are talking about terrain updates... I can't see why this wouldn't work very well.

Any thoughts on this idea?

I have received requests for modifications to the vehicles list. Most of what is in data10 of the planepack is vehicles but over and above that are all of the training and hangar stats missions etc. This is a surprisingly large file - many bmp files.

These are not online critical files and could be separated from the pack for people with bandwidth problems. But this creates the ageold problem of standardization. "Do you have the Saratoga? Which one? 1 no I have 2, oh then we can't fly this mission ... The advantage of having the vehicles in the pack is universality - everybody has the same stuff for online- it's bigger yes but I still have to download the same amount of info whether it's in 1,2 or 5 separate downloads.

Several of the vehicles in your list were included with the game as well such as:

Hanomag
Tiger Tank
M3 Halftracks
Matadors
Matilda Tanks
Sherman Tank
Exeter
PT103 Boat
U-Boat
Bofors Gun
4x20mm Flak
Flakpanzer
Flak 37

So of the list posted by Rendsberger the following would be new to the planepack / online standard:

1. Kubelwagen
   
2. different GMC Truck
   
3. SDKFZ 251/1
   
4. different Opel Blitz
   
5. different Japan Trucks
   
6. Liberty,
   
7. Tanker,
   
8. Tank Transporter
   
9. Catapult Aircraft Merchantmen - required for sea hurc if it goes into the pp
   
10. Gneisenau
    
11. Recon Area (to be released)
    
12. Frontbum (to be released)
    
13. Bessie - uhh - think it's available as a default object
    
14. V1 Control Post
    
15. Bridge small (to be released)
    
16. Remagen Bridge (to be released)
    
17. Fake Spit - I thought that was in already
    
18. Flak Panzer Winter (to be released)
    

I think the above includes the objects at the site Jeeves recommended. Some of the above I don't have a link to.
