    Gidday mate, haven't seen you about for a while!

    That's a mighty nice bird - apparently it's got 4 engines! Only in ETO

    That would be a Heinkel He-177 Grief.

    4 engines, two props and a history of engine fires...

    Though the English 'grief' is most appropriate considering the engine fires, the Germans themselves had a griffin in mind ('Greif')...

    BTW, that screenie is not CFS3, is it?

    Lightbulb He177

    We have one in CFS3 http://www.beauscfs3.leaveningonline...ea_eagles.html I have three of four more on my HD, thought they were somewhere out there......

    one more here http://www.beauscfs3.leaveningonline...luftwaffe.html

    but that is not all of them....wonder where they are?

    Maybe they weren't all released? I know I only have two.

    Interesting. While I didn't have those specific versions
    TK_He177A_3_6NSK
    TK_He177A_3_F8CM

    I do have
    TOW_He177A_3_6NSK which I assume is basically TK_He177A_3_6NSK
    ETO_He177_40_43 which is textured as He177_F8CM
    ETO_He177_100_44 which is textured as He177_6nsk

    so it seems the same textures under different names.

    I say "Carthago iam diu deleta,sed enim Bellum Alium adhuc aedificandum est"

    I’m going to blame autocorrect for that one!
