I actually believed that "the secret payload" was a tongue-in-cheek thing and Riken was looking for some banter (light-hearted comments) on it!!   

It's not "sad" just an honest mistake. I sincerely never dreamt it was a really serious "TOP SECRET" but instead the beginning of a humerous thread like you find on so many sites that don't take themselves too seriously (you know, like the ones that don't "invent" new planes for il-2 and then insist on mega-historical documentation for outside requests........

Perhaps it was tongue in cheek, but you didn't need to come out and tell everyone what the secret loadout was. That's kinda why Riken specifically said it was secret. Yeah, he was trying to have fun with it, but you left the cat out of the bag, "ruining" the surprise.

SAS friction you're trying to exaggerate what I accidentally did, and to be honest I'm getting a little bit tired of being whined at about everything I post by SAS "heavies" and one or two of their pet sychophants. Yes I did suggest Thunderbolts Mk.1/11's, and Riken was happy enough to pm me and the result of his excellent work is here for ALL to enjoy - not just me.
I then aired the Hellcats more of a continuation of a theme rather than a new request, only to get the "third degree" about "rushing" people by putting in too many requests, along with all the "blah blah" about making official requests via the right procedure with blueprints, photos, measurements etc (probably signed in triplicate too) . So I again bit my lip and said sorry. A few days later both planes are available for download!!! 


If it was an accident, that is what the backspace key is for. Or the "preview" post button.

Who is whining at you? You didn't follow the rules in the request section, and were told how to fill out a proper request. The rules in that section are set so that it is easier for modders to get information about mods.

I asked you not to be too demanding to Riken, you knew he was working on the T-bolts, but you continued to request planes from him. That's a simple request. It takes time to make and test mods. If you could make themself, you would know that.

This is getting all a bit serious for me I'm afraid. This GAME is part of my infrequent relaxation and I don't need this hassle over something so trivial from some people who are getting a bit carried away with what they might believe is a position of power? 


Position of power? I have very little power here. But my power has nothing to do with this though. It sounds like you don't want to follow rules, simple as that. (Request boards, modding etiquette, so on) When people try to explain the rules to you, you lash out and claim you are being harassed and "whined" to by people here. You also are disrespectful, by the fact that, you requested the planes, Riken made them for you (and now everyone has access to them), and you were the one that revealed the "secret" loadout, despite him saying they are secret.

Okay guys, lets end this up here.

Spud, I do support Frictions point of view here and I hope you do take what he has said on board. Glad you are happy that Riken took on your requests (great planes by the way Riken) and hope they provide you with many hours of fun. So lets all be a little bit more respectful of personal boundaries and the forum rules, so everyone can be happy. Let's leave it at that and get back to shooting down some bad guys ;)

call me the part of that 1/4 of the USA then. Personal reasons as to why. I might drink, but not enough for me to get as drunk that ;)

Hi guys,

This is an excellent mod! Very good to have arguably one of the "best" dogfighters made official for the British forces.  :)

I do have one question, I like the loadouts, and I apologise in advance, but me being as anal and pedantic as I am I like consistent weapon_ru entries, and I was having particular trouble entering the info for those more-than-one-item load-outs with "&" and spaces around this in thier titles, clearly the IL-2 coding doesn't get on with such a character. Eventually I worked it out as needing to be unicode C/C++ code like this: "HellcatMkI.1x150dt\u0020\u0026\u00206x60rock" and it then displayed the name I specified.

Just wanted to confirm that this was the right way of doing it, for future reference? If so I have surprised myself because I am not used to code at all lol!  8)

I know it's a bit of an off-topic and anal question but it'd be great if you could confirm for me.  :-\

Many thanks,

Michael.

Hello,

 I downloaded the beautiful hellcat MKI, II and III and found that there is a problem of propeller. The blades are not all facing the same side (2 +1) and the propeller rotates in the wrong direction (see hellcat U.S.). Is there any way to correct the error for more realism?

 Thank you in advance.

Good job and thanks. Would you care to send up your work so that it may be applied to the aircraft?

I've had this plane in DBW1.6 for a while now. It will soon be appearing in an FAA campaign in the Mediterranean theater. Thanks for making it.

cheers
