Sounds all the better! You just don't know how enthusiastic I am about your aircraft! The only way I'd care more if it was a Corsair!

What I meant by animations is if they're done right. I hate it when you have to lower the flaps to open the canopy. Or when the manual has an added bonus and tells you to press 'T' to activate that feature; I've completely customized every key command in CFS3, so very few of the kays are still at their original setting. Anyway, it sounds like you guys are comin' along pretty well with her, and I can't wait for it to be released (although I'd rather wait than have a rushed product, like that B-1 that came out awhile ago). As far as the colors go, I take it you mean this by nose and tail:

If you prefer, you can always leave one out like Microsoft did (no fuselage color for the P-47D). It's preferable all the color stripes (or whatever you want to call them) are there, but if they can't be implemanted well, then it's best to leave them out. If this was my plane I'd definitely add the nose, wing and fuselage stripes, but I'd take a hard look at the tail. And I must applaud you if you make the wing color that 'v' shape. Color stripes that aren't straight have never been done before, and I've been wondering if anyone would ever do it. At the rate good aircraft come out, I decided not to expect it, but you just never know what to expect.

Ever since the Groundcrew came out with the He. 111 for CFS2, I've been heralding them as the best design group out there; their planes are free
and good, a combo not often seen. Their recent release of a CFS3 Bf.110 only reaffirms my conviction. I've long since thought no one could measure up to them, but it appears I'm wrong, this Stuka is seriously challenging their Zerstoerer. One last note, as far as nose art goes, for the Stuka, I'd like to see this one (it
was for the Tank Busters anyway). I'd recomend it on the blue dot in the picture above, or on the rudder (As seen on the Hs. 129).
