Thanks for making this plane and putting it in the game! I've still got a pretty good built Airfix model of the plane that I made back in the '80's, when I was still making plastic models. I love this plane. It's too bad it didn't work out in the real world, with it's high landing speed, it's unreliable engines and all.

Nice kite, wish it had a bit more ammo though. 

If only the Mosquito's fm was this good!

Heartfelt thanks to all the modders involved with this project.

I thought we'd never see this beauty..but here it is & it is really, really nifty.With Mission Pro Combo it is some fun substituting the Whirlwind for the Mosquito in Singles missions!
Many thanks for a very professional job!

This is wonderful news! The Whirlwind has finally made it to IL-2, and oh, such a beautiful plane. Well done all involved, thank you

Wow !!!What a fantastic aircraft , Was the real thing really this good!!! Many , Many thanks to all involved.
Really stable ,fast and an Incredible gun platform, have been knocking stuff down with 2 or 3 rounds.
Great fun.

I see by reading about that many people in several different countries have the same story with this aircraft.
When I was ten years I had the model (Heller / Matchbox / Airfix or otherwise) of the aircraft.
I still have a great affection for this aircraft ... and yet it had only 116 models built.
And yet it is enough to see once to be lovers of its forms ...
Mosquito also has that kind of appeal...

Thank you for this beautiful bird !

Hello guys is there a chance for 4.09 version?

We're currently doing a short beta-test for the next release version v1.04.
It will give back 4.09m compatibility and fix a set of FM glitches as well as getting tail wheel doors to function correctly, just to mention a few of the bug-fixes.

Stay tuned, release is scheduled within the coming 24 hours.

Best regards - Mike

same story for me too! -Airfix in my case. Wonder why so many did this?
 here's my explanation:
as a 10-11 year old, I made quite a few 1/72 scale models, but all were single-engine types,
because they were the only models I could afford !! [on my pocket money, over 40 years ago].
I always wanted to make multi-engine models too - but they were bigger, and usually well out of my price range.
Except for the very smallest of the twin engine kits -which was...   !!?

Splendid!  And this is the very first aircraft I've managed to add to the game (thanks to ModAct 5, which makes it easy)    This gives me confidence to add other aircraft.

In the scale model department, I have an unassembled Airfix Whirlwind kit (1/72) that I bought years ago.  Maybe I'll actually get around to building it now.

New version v1.04 available in first post, please check Changelog (bottom of the readme) for changes.
Probably the most important is that we get our 4.09m rebels back aboard with this version.

Best regards - Mike
