I have just realised that just over 18 months ago, in October 1999, MPosis, Vanderstok and myself released the Bf109G-6 the first complete user made aircraft in SDOE. I know earlier MPosis had worked on the Fw190D-9 and Vander had released the He100, but I'm sure both of my fellow developers would agree that the 109 raised the bar above both those aircraft and the shipped models. I think the 109 was significant because it showed us all what was possible, both in term of 3D modelling, OPS and textures.

Yardstick,

You are right.
In that moment with the Bf-109 plane and all the beautiful skins our communitty felt the power of OpenPlane and since that SDOE is being improved so much.
The new cockpit was outstanding compared with the old ones.
I remember other great milestone in SDOE: The P-38 HighDetail cockpit with reflections. This cockpit makes me dream with the possibility of have all planes with that kind of stuff.
Hey...Where´s Vanderstok?
Congratulations for all teams.

Congratulations. Sounds like reason enough for a party to me. We could call it a birthday party for you 109.

I remember, that was the starting point of SDOE's second life, just when I thought I'd switch to something else.. and since then haven't played anything else for more than 3 hours !
Many Thanks to all plane devloppers

And don't forget the P-38 MOD and MOD2.... they raised the bar on Skinning and showed what could be accomplished with splitting out the textures. And probably the most important..... the Tail insignia fix for the 190.... ;}
