Dear Pilots, Today’s DD brings us images of the ME 410 A-1 in the engine finally, showing off some of its paint-schemes and beautiful lines. This beautiful bird has been in development for a long time, but the wait has been worth it. The cockpit was an especially challenging piece of work and we’ll have pics of it in the next Developer Diary, but today feast your eyes on its external beauty. Our 410 an A-1 model, but with various modifications that are included it can also become a B-2 variant. We think you will really enjoy the ME 410 A-1 ‘Hornisse’ as it was known. It’s another triumph for the Sturmovik modeling and engineering teams! The ME 410 will enter Beta in about a week’s time. We also have several images of airfields that will be present on the Normandy map. It’s nearing completion and will enter Beta soon as well. It should be noted that the images below are still WIP and some textures may not final. As we have highlighted in previous diaries, different fields have different surfaces. These images definitely demonstrate a variety of different types. Just like our previous maps there will be numerous airfields to launch missions from and of course attack! There is just a huge variety of different airfield types to choose from. Enjoy! The Sturmovik Team

Haha nice shots!* *Apart from Star Wars B-movie Rox and his U-WingTM

He forgot some other gems joys such as the engine compressor stalling or flaming out just after you finally manage to almost lock something, or if you dare to turn too much with someone on your 6. The landings which are as easy as landing the Mi-24 at 340kph. The quantum dynamics-inspired weapon selection panel. The 37 G roll-rate. The gear lowering mechanism dying if you forget to set the lever to neutral. The gun that fits two rounds of ammo. The radar that works for only 40 minutes (or was it 20?) because that's the time it takes for the pilot to drink all the alcohol coolant, because the last thing you want in the Mig-21 is to be sober.
