Salute, comrade pilots!

At this time our software engineers are simultaneously developing three legendary airplanes: the P-51D Mustang, the Fw-190 D-9 Dora and the Me-262 Schwalbe, which is the first jet airplane in the "IL-2: Great Battles" series. Undoubtedly, all these airplanes stand out from the rest of the plane-set in terms of their excellent speed characteristics. And as usual, making a virtual copy of a new airplane to our stable brings new challenges and tasks we must perform.

For example, the Me-262 is the first aircraft in our project with a swept wing. It would seem that the difference is not very big, but this circumstance required us to refine the aerodynamics calculation technology. The result of this work will be more accurate characteristics of the stability and controllability of the airplane in lateral movement, which sweep has a significant impact. Daniel has already mentioned about a turbojet engine in the previous diaries, and now work on the Jumo-004B model is in full swing. A dynamic model of the turbo-compressor was assembled, and now work is underway on the engine's thrust, heat and fuel-flow characteristics. Virtually each of the above...

Sheffield flypast: Bomber-crash crew honoured on 75th anniversary


All 10 airmen who were on board the B-17 Flying Fortress were killed on 22 February 1944


Thousands of people cheered a flypast honouring 10 airmen who died when their plane crashed in a park 75 years ago.

The US bomber came down in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield on 22 February 1944, killing everyone on board.

A campaign for a flypast started after a chance meeting between BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker and Tony Foulds, who tends a memorial to the airmen.

A tearful Mr Foulds was given a rousing round of applause as the planes flew over. He said: "This is unbelievable."

He has dedicated decades to looking after the park memorial as he believes the pilot deliberately steered away from him and his friends.

Relatives of the aircrew and about 10,000 people paid their respects as the planes roared over the memorial at about 08:45 GMT.


Mr Foulds regularly tends to the park's memorial and regards the American men who lost their lives as "family"

The 10 men killed in the crash:
• Pilot Lt John Kriegshauser, pilot from Missouri
• 2nd Lt Lyle Curtis, co-pilot from Idaho
• 2nd Lt John Humphrey, navigator from Illinois
• Melchor Hernandez,...
