I agree - excellent points. I don't know what the real beef is with
Scharmers, Connected, etc. but it's really not the fact that there's a
missing Avenger or Betty. It's because of something else. I don't know
what it is exactly, but it's not one or two missing planes. I'm seriously
doubting that these guys had some lifelong burning desire to re-enact the
Pearl Harbour attack in exquisite detail in a flight sim, only to be screwed
at the last minute because of a few missing planes.

And Connected's contention that he can't use a different plane because he
doesn't own IL2-FB, just PF - all I can say is DUH - did he not read the
reports here first?
