    From my very limited knowledge, I think they were built as separate prototypes, from he Typhoon II, but the centauros engine had more teething troubles than the Sabre. Shame, I think it was a wee bit quicker. Weren't there versions to take the Griffon too? Pingu would prob. know better than I

    Icefire, sorry for the bounced e-mails. That mail server broke down a long time ago but i remember i sent you a message with my other e-mail address.

    The external is now implemented in the game as an AI plane. I think i'm done with the cockpit, but the final textures may take a little longer. I just hope everything goes well when the model will be sent to Oleg.

    Alex,

    Do you mean that Oleg already has the Tempest interior, or that you have a little more work to do before submitting?

    Thanks for your hard work in getting the Tempest implemented!

    Mmmm I must have lost the address in my e-mail backup when I had to reformat (wonders of technology). Anyways, thats reassuring...we've run into a minor setback with the XIV Project but its back on track at the moment so I'm crossing fingers we all make it! I'll save the heart attack for later if need be...good luck sir!

    I'd love the idea of the Spitfire XIV, Mosquito F/B and the Tempest all arriving at the same time. About time the Brits got some more iron (or wood!) into the skies.

    I am in the research and planning stages of a early 44 to very late 44/very early 45 campaign. I know there are more than a few floating around but I really want to simulate the build up to and fighting of the initial stages of the liberation of France.

    At the moment I envision a tactical air war outlook; jabos and twins being the stars, fighters and quads in the auxilary roles. Sort of like CFS3 should of been. I've always been a ground pounder at heart, i'd rather take out a tank than a bogey. Guess thats why I love the Jug!

    Imagine Mitchells and A-20s done up in RAF colours; Tempests, Spitfire IXs and XIVs and RAF Mustangs flying escort; Mossies and P-47s doing fast Jabo work and 'free hunt' ground straffing; Beach head support for Overlord; Hurri IICs hitting supply depots; V1 hunting missions roaming along the coastline
    ; missions leading upto the Falaise gap; the F/B carnage as the German army beats a retreat out of Normandy; Maybe even ground pounding in 38s and 47s around Bastonge.

    As far as I can see it will take a solid six months of planning. At the moment i'm still building up my relationship with the FMB. She is fickle but fun!

    Having a Mossie and a Tempset would make things a lot more interesting at medium altitude. Would give the Allies some late war recompense against the A8, A9, D9, G-10 and K-4. Also, I would like (nay, need) some more ammo load outs for the Hurri IIc. Outdated in '44 by a BIG margin but still an amazingly effective ground pounder and suprisingly deadly right on the deck. Rings PRO site has an excellent study of the effects of two 500lbrs on the flight characteristics of the Hurricane. Much better than those piddling little 250lb jobs for jabo missions.

    tempests did fast jabo, big question is, will we have rockets?

    sneaking over the channel, at 0 feet and 300mph+ for sneaky raids will be fun

    btw, for dday stuff, the germans had g6,g6late and a8

    i can give u some links to mossie stuff from books ive uploaded before, and i can do some for the typhoon aswell.
    dont have much on XIV IX and p51 and hurri missions, i have got some stuff tho

    During WW2, the Tempest did not carry rockets, only the dearly missing Typhoon did.
    Anyway, I hope that in the game it will be able to carry rockets, as this could be an acceptable replacement for the Typhoon.
    In Normandy, the Tempest was used at the very beginning of the campaign, as it was quickly transfered to the defence of the homeland against V1.
