Is going to be the floatplane version ,too?
I gess posible aircrafts: R101, Delfín, RZ, these are more or less, obbious planes. What about those obscure aircrafts?
By the way, this is a very impressive amount of work, many thanks!

Yes, Grumman G-23, Pedro Rico or Delfin, that's a two seater with a great performance and much appreciated by republican pilots. If there's a good candidate to stand against zeros is this one, may be in her Goblin version. As I said: a dolphin can defeat a shark.



Talking about more obscure two seaters with great performance, one of my favourites is Northrop gamma, but I don't think this one acted in any WWII theatre.



Great work as fast bomber, acting together with the group of Vultee V1.
I like even more the racer version (similar to the one used in polar exploration) that was also adapted as bomber. I always like those weird proportions in aircraft of the 30s. 



But being only a single example of each version in SCW, I doubt that our good benefactor, DreamK, will take this rabbits out of his hat.

Looking good Dreamk!   To use a cliche "If it flies good, it'll look good". If it's a mod from DreamKs team, it'll work. Any problems will be ironed out in good time.

cheers

Once I read in Buñuel´s memories he and others intellectuals and artists tried to buy the prototype of a four engined American bomber. Who knows smomething about this?

[Joberg]

Gamma would be pretty neat, it was developed into the A-17!

Hi Dreamk, may I ask how´s going with the new CR32?

Thks a lot and keep up your superb work!

Best regards,
Gianluca

The cr32 is alredy complete, imported and fully flying, but I want to make a real cockpit for it, so this will wait till I release the 2 seaters pack in 2-3 weeks from now (they are already imported and flying, all but one,  but there is still some finition work to do before uploading them)

Well, Buñuel said that while working for the Republican Government in the Spanish Embassy in France,  the British millionaire Edward James offered him a very modern bomber that he had in a Czech airdrome in exchange of having at his disposal the whole collection of art of El Prado Museum for exhibition along the duration of the SCW.
Buñuel reported the offer to his superiors, but it was discarded.
May be this is the four engined you say.

Thks Dreamk, happy to hear this!

Hi Dreamk, that's good news. In respect to two seaters, how many will there be? I'd like to do a mission pack. Going from the posts; there will be the Breguet19, Wildebeest, and some US two seater? Will the rest make it five or six? I'll write the missions with stand ins, and the new fighters. I'll add the real two seaters when they appear. Thanks again guys for all this work.


PS:  I've just completed the third mission.

cheers

Update 1/6/2012
Ok - here we go. I'll begin to upload the two-seaters today. These planes are sluggish but they do really have character. They come with a full assortmnent of Spanish and French Bombs - so upload these bomb packs already with the first  aircraft of this group. some also use the currently present Soviet bombs - though I will upload later on a pack of Interwar period Soviet bombs.
This is a huge pack - As usual, one new aircraft will be uploaded each day - though I may need a small break  after the 5th plane before uploading the other 5 ones (I'm still trying to better the cockpit of these last ones).
All help to improve these mods is always welcome - just keep it historical - some of these coming mods will obviously become basis for a full family of variants that served on other theaters - whoever wants is invited to take a hand in making these variant mods. Some of the planes have also a seaplane version that I planned initially to release together with the seaplanes packs - but this may change and I may release them already at the end of this pack - in any case the meshes template have been made with this option in mind.
Agracier and I have done our best to complete these mods before time constraints due to real life will slow down somehow our modding activities during the next 3 months - this means that we have prepared also a number of planes that we'll need only to "finalize" before uploading them during this coming period.
Leibig and Arsenal have completed the first update of the FMs for the previously released fighter pack, using historical data - we are testing them once again before uploading them.
Cockpits are still a problem (don't look back - the rear cockpit views are awful sometimes) but there is improvement on this point, and if you zoom on the instruments panels you may have some pleasant surprizes on some planes. It's only the beginnning...
Enjoy!
