Razor747 Pilot	posted 11-22- 05:10 PM What plane is needed the most in SDOE? I am looking for a project after the Huey is finished. Razor747 IP: Logged
Archy Pilot	posted 11-22- 05:13 PM I would vote for the F4U with working tailhook, and same for the Zero. Of course we need cables on our carrier. Carrier ops make SDOE a brand new game! IP: Logged

Jaguar Pilot	posted 11-22- 06:56 PM Heay Kopper, didn't you say before that the last thing SDOE needed was a new plane and that even if a new bomber was created you would use your Lanc anyways?......... so get back to you DM! LOL!..... and don't forget to doccument it ............................................I'm just asking for it, aren't I? hehehehe [This message has been edited by Jaguar (edited 11-22-1999).] IP: Logged
Loco Pilot	posted 11-22- 07:05 PM I'd say a F4U CORSAIR.It's my vote. It was used in Pacific and Europe too. In europe it was used in a bomber raider against the battleship Tirpitz. It's a good plane. IP: Logged
closterman Cadet	posted 11-22- 07:12 PM My vote go's to Hawker Tempest, P-47 Thunderbolt and Hawker Hurricane. Please, stay on WW2 planes, we need a realistic and historic games.... IP: Logged
kopper JAG	posted 11-22- 07:14 PM Jag, So call me a hypocrite! Right now the last thing we need is another plane. However, if it was another RCAF bomber like the Wellington or Halifax then I would fly them. So take a hike you whirllie bird man! ------------------ Kopper Fortunae Nihil (Nothing to Chance) OPPs Making SDOE a Dangerous place. One plane at a time. IP: Logged
Sv Pilot	posted 11-22- 07:35 PM Soon Closterman there will be enough WWI planes for full historic WWI battles! ...Well maybe not soon heheh ------------------ -Sv =FC= IP: Logged
Razor747 Pilot	posted 11-22- 07:48 PM Does anyone have information on the Wellington Bomber?? I will probably do that one, because it is alot like the Lanc. IP: Logged
silas Pilot	posted 11-22- 11:27 PM I very much want a Hawker Hurricane (someone is working on one) also a Mitchell bomber Oh what the hell, I want every plane that ever fired a gun or dropped a bomb in World War II. Well it is getting near Christmas. [This message has been edited by silas (edited 11-22-1999).] IP: Logged
Werner Molders Pilot	posted 11-23- 12:01 AM Please Santa, I've been a good pilot this year (except for a few strafing-of-downed-pilots incidents, and one death-to-wingie incident O8-D ), so please, I'd like someone to finish the Stuka and the C47 with working side door and parachutists. Or, I'd be even happier if you'd deliver on a Ju52 with prop-butt-fallschirmjager, but maybe that's asking too much of those poor OP elves.... Ok, so I'm no comedian. Sue me.

Archy Pilot	posted 11-23- 01:31 AM And don't leave out the Prop-Butt-Man, I mean we need some online gunners to shoot back at bessie from our bombers. IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 11-23- 10:38 AM How about a Whirlwind IP: Logged
Redback Pilot	posted 11-23- 08:25 PM Well Maybe a........ (1)Kittyhawk (2)Hurricane And Perhaps.....a Liberator! Only a suggestion. Catch-ya Red IP: Logged
Sabre66 Pilot	posted 11-23- 10:01 PM Well, Let's see.... Hmmm.... Ummm.... I know, A P-39 Airacobra, P-63 KingCobra Russian La-5 F4UD Corsair P-61 Blackwidow German Me-410 Italian Macchi 200 or 205 Russian Mig-3 I could keep going, but would be redundant of what others have said. Except for the F4U, I dont think any of the others have been suggested but would be excellent additions to SDOE. Just an opinion, Sabre IP: Logged

-deft- Cadet	posted 11-23- 11:01 PM ....would be the Curtiss p40 Warhawk. Most widely deployed US fighter of WWII. (don't go yanking out p47 and p51 production numbers, alot of 1945 production never saw combat) No fighter flew for as many countries, or in as many theatres (read that ALL theatres!) -deft- IP: Logged
ReaperMan Pilot	posted 11-24- 01:27 AM I think the F4U is a good one to put on the drawing board. Maybe the P-40 also, but I certainly hope the production on the P47 C and D models is going well. -=TheReaper=- IP: Logged
JT Pilot	posted 11-24- 09:22 AM My P-47d is going great, but progress is slow. I might put out a beta with the Spit instrument panel so I can get the plane out faster. That way, I can continue working on the graphics stuff while people tool with the flight model. Then, by the time the FM and other technical issues are resolved, I'll be done with all the modeling and textures. IP: Logged
Fenris Cadet	posted 11-24- 12:48 PM I totally agree with Deft. SDOE is screaming out for a P40,(sorry about the pun!!).Flying Tigers and Desert shark-teeth Kittyhawks... I WANT. Also while we're on this perennial subject( I've said it before, and I'm about to say it yet again)..a Bristol Beaufighter, it would be excellent for ground attack and anti-Shipping. IP: Logged
Zurawski Pilot	posted 11-24- 12:56 PM .. JT, Glad to see the 47 making progress ... I agree with your thoughts on releasing parallel to the FM development ... Why drag feet. (Zur raised his had to volenteer for the FM job) ... ) IP: Logged

JT Pilot	posted 11-24- 01:09 PM >(Zur raised his had to volenteer for the FM job) ... Cool... thanks! I'll be in touch when the time is nigh. Bjorn, if he's still up to it and/or is able to, will be handling all the technical, parts functioning, non-FM related issues. IP: Logged
Sp@nky Pilot	posted 11-24- 07:19 PM well boys? what version should i do? i'm going to do a couple or other people can take mine and do some but i want to know what one we should start with? IP: Logged

Poodle EAF322 Pilot	posted 11-25- 01:20 PM Hi guys, Couldn't we keep it in Europe? I'd like to see some of the Pacific and Japanese planes too but I think we should stick to the subject (although I'd like a buffalo which the Dutch Indonesian forces used a lot). Maybe something Russian or Italian would be nice. But there are a lots of others. How about a He 111, Do 17, Do 217, Do 335, Me 210, Beaufighter, Hurricane (is Bryan still working on that one?), P-47, P-61, etc. But maybe we can do some other weird "can sdoe do this" plane, just like you did with the Huey. Maybe you guys could just for fun try a Harrier, or maybe something else you might think of. Cu, Poodle ------------------ Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a Flying Poodle ! IP: Logged
kopper JAG	posted 11-25- 01:55 PM Here is my take on the planes. We had this debate at the OPPs forum. The name of SDOE has a E for Europe. It's no big secret that MH is working on SDOP the P is for Pacific. So why work on P issues. If people start doing a large amount of P stuff then it opens a whole can of worms that will need fixing. Why not leave the P stuff for when SDOP comes out even if it may be 2 yrs from now. E is for Europe so lets concentrate on Europe stuff. Does adding another plane that is a Spit or 190 in disguise contribute to the sim. Unfortunately not. The FM's were not right to begin with. So people are making copies of planes with bad FM's then the copies have to be fixed as well, propogating the problem. Why not fix the current FM's then start making new planes. Basing them on correct FM data. The Damage models are not accurate either. They are down right terrible. These need to be fixed as well. The next issue is you fix the FM's of the planes to make them realistic then how do you address the bombers. Do you want to spend 40 min climbing to 20K ft? The maps are too small they need to be enlarged. There is no question in my mind on this point the maps should be bigger. How big is the question? In OPPs we have 45 people on the mailing list. I would say 25-30 are active at some sort of OP. When the Spit IX was done there was really only about 5 people on that project and it took just over 3 months to complete. There are just as many people outside of OPPs doing OP but they are working as individuals. If everyone combined their strengths towards an agreed common goal we could accomplish far more in less time. So, as Jag pointed out in an earlier post in here and he was quoting me, the last thing SDOE needs right now is another plane. There are far bigger issues that need to be addresses, in my opinion. Thank you for this paid commerical announcement for OPPs. ------------------ Kopper Fortunae Nihil (Nothing to Chance) OPPs Making SDOE a Dangerous place. One plane at a time.

Whirlwind Pilot	posted 11-25- 07:38 PM Limiting developement to E for Europe goes back to limiting O for OpenPlane to N for NotEverybody. Funny that there is an interest in landing on carriers, but not the Pacific theater. S, Spitfire. This plane saw action in both theaters of war. L, Lightning. So did the venerable P-38. F, Flying Fortress. This bomber saw action from Pearl Harbor on in the Pacific theater. M, Mustang. Need I say more? E, Exeter, this puppy was sank in the Pacific theater, shortly after the Pope was sank. P, PT boat. It gained notoriety in the Pacific theater. Well DAMN! It looks like we have quite a few Pacific theater things in SDOE. How in the hell did that happen? Makes you wonder, doesn't it? IP: Logged
