Hello All

Best wishes to everyone on the Holiday Season and for the New Year.

As previously mentioned, we have a new aircraft announcement.

This aircraft will be the centerpiece of the TF 6.5 DLC.






The aircraft of course, is the Lancaster B.1

The TF 6.5 DLC will focus on an environment not often simulated in gaming... the dark skies over WWII Europe as Night Bombers seek their targets and Night Fighters try to intercept them.

The bomber player will experience the often tense and lonely experience of navigating over enemy territory to his target and the Fighter player will have the challenging and often frustrating task of finding his opponent before he drops his deadly cargo.

The DLC will use the BLITZ and DIEPPE maps. It will cover the period 1940-42.

Besides the Lancaster, there will be additional aircraft variants and types, including twin engined night fighter types fully equipped with airborne radar systems as well as bombers with all the navigational equipment used at the time.

Both the British and German sides will have options to fly Bombers or Fighters.

The Lancaster 3D model is currently underway, with both the external model and cockpit well advanced. (we'll show cockpit images in a later update)

We are aiming for a 2025 release for this DLC... approximately one year after TF 6.0.
