Obsolete models

There's a lot of irrealistic models that deserves a new version including standard CFS2 original one. Let's begin with the Mitsubishi G4M2 with it's irrealistic turret. Allen did a good G4M1 version based in the horrible original model. I think add a new 20 mm turret is within the talent of many developers here. Talking about the G4M2, there's another question: the Virtual Navy Baka is out of scale and needs an intervention.

There planes that deserves a substitute. Payakan has a prolific career, but sometimes he was too inventive. His Petlyakov Pe-8 it's a fantastic plane, but his Nakajima G8N1 is too schematic and lacks detail. Another good example is his Messerchmitt 264 with machine guns in the nose and the wings and a keel under the rear fuselage.

Another plane is the Heinkel 112 fighter. The only good one is for MSFS 2020 and can not be converted for CFS2. The CFS2 version has a completely equivocated outline with an irrealistic cockpit. Here we can talk about the DB601 version faster and with a longer range than the BF-109E.

I created new realistic airfile and DP's for Them and I crossed the Atlantic and returned with the Me264. If somebody is interested call me.

Hi Pepe, though I agree on your remarks, I'm sometimes happy that there IS a flying model. Something is better than nothing (LOL).

Something IS better than nothing - but what about all those aircraft for which we do not have any model yet . . .
 
By the way, you can replace every stock aircraft with a better one! Move the stock aircraft to a folder outside the CFS2 folder then replace it with the new one. But you must rename everything (mdl, airfile, dp file and soundfile) so those file names match exact the files in the stock aircraft folder. In the “aircraft.cfg” file you must edit the name of the aircraft (for example: title=A6M2 Zero XY to title=A6M2 Zero, sim=A6M2_ZeroXY to sim=A6M2_Zero) It’s important that every name match the Stock files. (Same for the Ship files) if not it can cause “errors” when starting the sim.

For missing aircraft: which aircraft are missing? A list would be interesting, same for existing aircraft replacements.

I just like to remark, it’s a whole amount of work to make aircraft for the sim, sometimes I have to spend a few € to get books, especially for good drawings. And, I can’t charge for the aircraft because the software license doesn’t allow creating commercial models, so everything is freeware. (And: I don’t have the intend to create pay ware, for me it’s still fun but time consuming):)

I thank all of you for sharing your models, mods and repaints with the community. As for the old models it's at least nice to have something.
