[Verdun1916]

Beautiful work, guys!

I'm really looking forward to flying this bird!:grin:


Thanks for the update on the progress of the update, guys!!! ;)

[=UAb=Hedgehog]

So it's just three new planes, all independent models: seaplane, the same on wheels and a ski one. Full pack of original cockpits and weaponry. Ok...

What took you so long?!

** And of course we don't count DnieproGES (aka Dneprostroi Dam)

Now now, have a look around the TD-part of the forum and you'll see that they have a lot more they are working on than just three versions of the MBR-2. ;)

[Music]

The Russians have such hard design types, no sense of grace, even the il-2's in the back ground screen shot, (in_case you have never seen a il-2 :grin:), the LaGG's, and the Mig's till that one from 42', functional, but almost intentionally devoid of any feminine lines.

They definitely have their own style.

Models look good, are we headed for a summer of "two weeks". Take your time, still have not thought of a good, unique scenario to build on that expected Chanel map. Is it larger than any other map, or about the same as i.e. the Solomons, with a heck of a lot more objects.

Cheers!

[Treetop64]

Well this is a nice surprise. Looking forward to it!

[P-38L]

Hello DT
For me, that's good news. I still fly in this magnificent flight simulator. I will never tire of using it. I have a few friends who are interested in learning to fly this flight simulator. Please, continue with this great project.

[JacksonsGhost]

Thanks for the update, and the great work. It's always nice to see new toys on the way! 8-)

[TitusFlavius]

Thank you for the latest update infos!
IL-2 1946 will never die!)))

[ddr]

YES! thank you TD: a very nice work! :-)

[Music]

First Screen shot, thats a Dam, what map is that on, or something else new.

I think that's more design choices by Antonov and his disciples, as well as the tendency for 1930's aircraft designers to create aircraft which look like railroad cars. IMO, the Yak-1 -3, -7, -9, series (first designed 1939, flew 1940) are some of the most graceful-looking aircraft of the period.

Anyhow, I'm just happy for more content, especially because it will feature some of the war's forgotten, unglamorous "ugly ducklings".

[GeneralNoob]

Hi!! Great work! Thanks a lot!!

Well, Antonov designed just gliders in 1930s and assisted Yakovlev a bit. By the way, it was him who worked on improvements of Yak series in 1943-1945.
He was also known for somewhat controversial remarks about aircraft "beauty". In one of his book he wrote that beautiful airplane flies better. Yet in one of the interviews asked about alleged "ugliness" of one of his transport planes, he responded: "Functional is beautiful".

But back to the topic.
Yes, kudos to TD for making this bird available for flight and sea navigation (what a boat!). :)
More ugly ducklings the better. :-P

[Sita]

this bird available for flight and sea navigation (what a boat!). :)


in late version of MBR will be RPK2 ... i mean if set on map 42 ( or more late year) on pilot panel you will have radio navigation gauge ...

[P-38L]

When an airplane is used to be taken through a road, it is necessary to have certain caution with the different unevenness of the ground. In most cases, if the plane is tail dragger, and it meets a slope of the ground, it hits the ground damaging the propeller. When using a tricycle landing gear airplane, this effect is less damaging to the aircraft. In the case of an amphibious airplane, as is the case of the MBR, is it possible to go from water to dry land without causing a collision between these two surfaces?

[Sita]

in fact MBR2 wasn't amphibious airplane at 100 persent meaning of this word ...
MBR was or float ( boat i mean ) version .. or Gear ( wheel/Ski version ..)
for MBR wasn't plan to take off from water surface with attached wheels or ski...

it's not a PBY on which you can up and down gears depends of plase where you want to landing ...

but i think you can make successfull landing MBR to ground on boat .... and with some risk you can try land on water with gear ... but it will be some kind emergency landing ...

[dimlee]

...

But they were used with trolleys as well for pulling up the slip (or other slope) or pulling down to the water. I don't attach pictures as I'm sure you have seen them a lot.

[Sita]

sure... we saw it ... but that trolleys is only ground tech crew equipment ...

[Pursuivant]

Well, Antonov designed just gliders in 1930s and assisted Yakovlev a bit. By the way, it was him who worked on improvements of Yak series in 1943-1945.

My mistake, I was thinking of Tupolev. I got confused because so many of his pre-war designs are designated as ANT-## rather than Tu-##.

[dimlee]

No problem. This confuses many even in the Russian speaking community.
ANT, AN, Antey (An-22). :grin:
I agree with your comment on Tupolev's designs in general.

[dimlee]

sure... we saw it ... but that trolleys is only ground tech crew equipment ...

So, could it be possible to make those trolleys "appear" only on the ground (as with Me 163), not in the air?

[Sita]

So, could it be possible to make those trolleys "appear" only on the ground (as with Me 163), not in the air?

at first as far i know its problematic in Il2 game mechanics .. some kind like with sbp I16 and TB3 ... but here is more difficult ...

and second thing, as far i see it have no sence ... MBR on ground troley need only to deliver flying boat from dry hangar to water surface ... it makes by ground tech crew... or may be some vechicle ... it take some time.... and after it in water ground personal by hands detach bogie chassis and troley and only after it flying boat ready to take off ...
all that process is only prepearing to flight..

not sure that that part of process need here ...

[Sita]

with me 163 it was part of plane, part of construction .. on me163 you couldn't take off without it.. in case of mbr that thing need only to get in water if you take MBR in flying boat version ...

[hun_77]

First to say, I am looking forward to the new patch. It is amazing that you still work on such an old game.

Just to sum up on what you are working:
Maps:
- A new big Channel Map (for 1940 and 1944)
- Donbass Map

New flyable aircraft:
- MBR-2 in 3 versions (as flying boat, with skies, with fixed landing gear)
(There was a time you were working on a He-177, C-47 and (maybe I'm wrong) Ju-52. Will you continue with these planes?)

Do you work on complete new functions (like the navigation features in 4.?? or the new bombing features in 4.13)?

I am glad to see these teaser pics, I hope you publish more...:grin:

[Sita]

for today content list of 4.14 is not approved

at current moment main position of 4.14 is

He177
MBR2

and Few Maps ... Donbass, Moscow and few others ... with different seasons

all that thing in work now ... and while we work on it may be something else will catch up to content ... will see...

C47 waits import ... Ju52 still in work .. need do alot of thing wit it ...

[dimlee]

and second thing, as far i see it have no sence ... MBR on ground troley need only to deliver flying boat from dry hangar to water surface ... it makes by ground tech crew... or may be some vechicle ... it take some time.... and after it in water ground personal by hands detach bogie chassis and troley and only after it flying boat ready to take off ...
all that process is only prepearing to flight..

not sure that that part of process need here ...

Agree. I did not think about that. Indeed, if pilot is not involved in the process, it does not make sense.

[Fighterace]

Any American aircraft being worked on??

[Music]

Fighterace said "Any American aircraft being worked on??"

just planes for us to shoot at.

This should go in the wish list, but,... How difficult would it be to make more updated or later versions of the Val, and Stuka, they must have improved them by 43/44/45, at least bigger engines.

I know some stukas on the Russian front had the Wheel covers removed because of the mud as a example.
And another thing, the Late war Betty does not have a bomb load if I remember correctly? does it only carry the Oka, and how do you hook that up.
Here's a formation carrying Oka's getting shot up by Hellcats, in colour 1min+

Bring it one. lol.
We already have the updated Stuka versions. The D-3, then the D-5, and finally the G series.

Yes the Japanese did update the Val. (D3A2) It was still woefully lacking by the time it reached front lines in Rabaul. Something about a D3A vs F4Us and P-38s. After that switched to a new carrier bomber, the D4Y series. (D4Y1,D4Y2,D4Y3) and a version designed specifically for kamikaze, D4Y4.
Have a look here : http://www.combinedfleet.com/ijna/ijnaf_d.htm

[stugumby]

was relooking at the MBR photos, looks like it has rockets as well as bombs, and the bomb dosnt look like fab 50 or 100? Some type of depth charge??

[Sita]

50 fab as i see ... but variant of loadout on mbr now more wide than in 4.13.4

[Pursuivant]

Any American aircraft being worked on??

If they make it into 4.14, the DC-3 and C-47 definitely count as American aircraft. The Li-2 and L2D variants "sort of" count.

[Pursuivant]

This should go in the wish list, but,... How difficult would it be to make more updated or later versions of the Val, and Stuka, they must have improved them by 43/44/45, at least bigger engines.

I believe that all major Stuka variants are in the game.

The D3A2 ("Model 22") is currently not in the game and would be a good mid-war Japanese dive bomber type. If it were added, it would be essentially a new airplane since the nose would need to be reworked and possibly the pilot's cockpit.

And another thing, the Late war Betty does not have a bomb load if I remember correctly? does it only carry the Oka, and how do you hook that up.

There are several mid- to late-war G4M variants which aren't in the game and would be welcome. Again, they'd all effectively be new aircraft due to need for revisions to fuselage, engine nacelles, crew stations, etc. and new FM.

IIRC, you have to set up Okha missions using the FMB, attaching the Okha to the bomber like you would assign a glider to a tow aircraft.

[Pursuivant]

Yes the Japanese did update the Val. (D3A2) It was still woefully lacking by the time it reached front lines in Rabaul. Something about a D3A vs F4Us and P-38s. After that switched to a new carrier bomber, the D4Y series. (D4Y1,D4Y2,D4Y3) and a version designed specifically for kamikaze, D4Y4.

In 1944-45 the Japanese adapted a number of their aircraft for suicide operations. It would be interesting to have at least one Kamikaze variant in the IJN line-up (other than just the Okha). Probably, no 3d work would be required, just some FM and bomb-loadout variations to reflect changes in fuel tanks and built-in explosives.

That said, I'd rather have more mid- to late-war Japanese aircraft which were designed to be used more than once. In particular, the IJAAF needs more aircraft types.

The Kawasaki Ki-48 was used throughout the war and as an improvised Kamikaze and special Kamikaze. The thing is totally overlooked in most histories as it was a typical early war design light bomber which most countries found to be pretty useless (think Bristol Blenheim and Martin Maryland). Still it did serve in all Japanese theatres and was the most produced bomber of the IJAAF during WW2!

There is a il2 mod pack for Ki-48 but i don't know if the maker is still around to put it into "Daidalos il2".

[Sita]

in fact we have our own Ki48 maded by SaQsoN)) plus skin by Hayate)

Oh my ! (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖) What a wonderful plane model. Do you have any plan to integrate it in a future patch after 4.14 ? Btw, the P-47s cockpits really need to be reworked. I still have no idea how they were accepted in the game in the first place.

[shelby]

which variants of the ki-48 will be in the game?

[Sita]

to ealry to say..

[Pursuivant]

The Kawasaki Ki-48 was used throughout the war and as an improvised Kamikaze and special Kamikaze.

Because it was around for so long, there were a number of Ki-48 variants, many of which aren't in the game.

While modders have done a great job filling in the gaps for the IJAAF, the quality of their work isn't always that good. It would be a pleasant surprise if there were official versions of aircraft like the Ki-30, Ki-44, and Ki-51, as well as a flyable Ki-27 and a few more variants of the Ki-43 and Ki-61.

That would do a good job of "filling in the gaps."

[stugumby]

Will the BF110G family get upgraded for 414? Isn't there a G4 night fighter somewhere in the works. Also since the Il4 has cockpits is there any developments towards the DB3 series becoming fly able?

Corsair family FM, seems overweight and under powered?

[Sita]

Also since the Il4 has cockpits is there any developments towards the DB3 series becoming fly able?


may be in some future... at current moment other goal for 4.14

[JacksonsGhost]

There are two flyable versions of the Ki-27 in the stock game. Great to see the work on the Ki-48 too!

But...is it to optimistic to hope for that the Channel map + early Spit and Dewoitine D.520 will be ready for the next update? I mean the map itself is a massive uppdate so I understand if you plan to release that further along than the next patch.
Is there any hope of a flyable Wellington or Blenheim?

wait 4.14 with Transports ... or wait transports have in the hand 4.14 ...

But no matter what, I'm looking forward to your next update, Sita! You guys in TD makes one hell of a job!

Looking forward to the MBR-2, HE-177, the Dewoitine D.520, Spitfire Mk.I along with the Channel Map! :grin:

Hoping for flyable Blenheim's and Wellingtons in some future update to! ;)

[Verdun1916]

Maybe, but I think most players priotitize new combat aircrafts and maps over transports to be honest. I know I do.

Thank you very much for your answer Sita!
I would wait for transports personally , but I understand some people wants the patch without transports

Is the spitfire 1 a certainty or speculation?

[Sita]

we don't work on Spit I yet ... but we know that it would be nice have Spit I with Channel map..

Also a later production Hurricane I would be nice! It was the REAL hero of the battle of britain after all... All it would require is some FM change to the already existing model.

Any news or developments for the masses to consume?

[Music]

Well,... I'm in my new place, It's nice, but I realized I now have a stack of fridges running up one wall, and a TV and computer above, below, and on three side of me, so I am having major grounding problems trying to record. We'll figure it out, uTube said to plug everything into the same jack to unify the ground, so we'll try that.
It's nice though, my own door, with a peep hole :c)
Oh and a lady upstairs who lives in a different gravity field than the rest of us, THUMP THUMP THUMP, "I only weight 110 lbs" she tells me. Have not seen her, she answered through the peep hole.

That's about it, oh how silly of me, I lost my mind there for a moment, how selfish of me to make it all about me, so, enough of me talking about me, maybe some one else wants to talk about me for a bit.....:cool:

From what I've read on the Vwings.net forum, Magot said that we'll soon be able to position AA guns on building roofs and concrete bunkers in the FMB.

yes, something like that

[stugumby]

looks interesting indeed,will be interesting to avoid a flak tower by going low and watching the roofs fly apart?

[stugumby]

there is something like a read me out on Vwings now, looks like a beta test maybe?

[shelby]

there is something like a read me out on Vwings now, looks like a beta test maybe?yeap

[stugumby]

Looks like a North Pole map is coming, expanded Murmansk and Moscow and Donbas with different seasons. Updated tb3 cockpit and bombsight changed to opb1 type. Ai pe2 type 244. Not really sure of what types of missions for the pole map, perhaps a exploration in MBR?
new ram selector, hope it's comparable with sas type mod act etc. looks like some new industrial objects as well. I'm eagerly waiting!

[stugumby]

If I understand this correctly the current He177 has fritz X and Hs293 missile/guided bombs as a load out option. If these are removed this will cause missions built with them to be unusable etc. There was comments on Vwings that they wont be there on 414 because they are part of He177A5, not A3?

[Sita]

i suppose you are right..

to have Hs293 and FrizX on Flyable He177 need seriously rework pit.. place in pit control devices for guided bomb ...

yes it's potentialy issue with mission ... but i dont see mission for He177 with loadouts which must be guided by live player ...

may be i wrong.

[Marabekm]

Correct me if I am wrong. But He-177A5 or any version of He177 is not in stock version of game, 4.12,4.13, etc., So there are no missions with the He-177. And as such if there are currently 0 missions, there is no issue

There is a He-177 in HSFX. Probably got a bunch of people made missions. But this update doesn't apply to or affect HSFX in anyway. SO HSFX will still only have the He-117A3. I am confused as to why you think this update, will affect your HSFX missions?

[Sita]

btw...

https://vk.com/club120670117 here some of our betatesters from time to time shows some screens ... not updates in usual meaning.... but may be you can find there something what you didn't see...

[stugumby]

People have built there own missions since the AI He177. As AI it has the ability to launch fritz X and HS 293. I have built several myself. if you change the load out it will effect those as well as others that may have used what was already in FMB. I can only suggest you add to but do not take away from load outs fixes the problem before it starts.

Hello! first of all, thank you TD for your effort to make ever better patches in these years :-)
I read on vwings forum about new OPB-1 bombsight for TB-3: actually what bombsight is there? the new OPB-1 will be in all TB-3, or some will have the "old" bombsight?
Thank you and have a nice summer :-)

All TB-3 will use the new OPB-1 sight.

[stugumby]

I'm not concerned with He177 in hsfx missions, it has been available as ai since the 413 patch came out. In that and onward it has had fritz x and hs293 guided munitions. Since it is ai it is correct that there are no player flyable missions, but if anyone made missions and included it as ai for anti shipping purposes it will effect those missions. These missions will be on mission4today or if not shared in the builders system. My intent here is not to criticize or degrade the work of others at all, just a gentle reminder of potential impact on others. Many thanks to TD for the years of free fun you have provided!

[ddr]

All TB-3 will use the new OPB-1 sight.

oh, ok thank you baball
... but I like the "old" tb-3 bombsight :-D

what is the name of this bombsight?
thank you and bye

[dedogist]

With all these fantastic updates coming with some new planes and maps it would be so great if we could get some of the Eastern Front DGen careers updated on an "official" level to use newer maps (kiev, kharkov, odessa, donbass) and newer planes (SSS, R5, I15 etc.).

After all, this is what brought many to the game and certainly why i still play it often. Keep up the great work!

[baball]

I am just a beta tester for 4.14, but from what I have seen in the readme the previous bomb sight was just a fictional model even if the old Forgotten Battles manual tells that the OPB-1 was used on the TB-3.

[shelby]

For what i have seen it is the most beloved patch ever.

[stugumby]

Yes indeed, im already thinking about a mini series from the Donbass map, taking a right at Rostov and down into the Crimea etc.

[stugumby]

Was just curious as to how the engine cooling and fires will work. Example the left set is on fire from over heating, do we shut down 1 and 2 or just 2 etc?

[Treetop64]

Lot of effort potentially going into 4.14. More than I anticipated.

Too bad that Pe-2 is AI only. Looks great. Would love to see an update for the PE-2 models we already have.

The maps look gorgeous. Looking forward to them, especially the Moscow map. I already use the mod Moscow map, but having an official version would be nice.

[stugumby]

Yes, i was using the ipod to see them, didnt have translator tool. still for next maps etc they will be quite usefull. How is the beta testing going?

[stugumby]

Something that may need to be addressed is the actions of aircraft with multiple bomb bays. Example, the Pe-2 has fuselage as well as engine nacelle bays, if carrying 4x Fab 250 under the fuselage, all the doors open. Same goes for IL-4 if carrying a torpedo, the bomb bays open.

Don't worry Storebror, the He-177 in 4.14 uses the exact same model as the mod and has fowler flaps. It is just a perspective illusion in the video.

at current moment of time we have in our hand Beta version number 6 .. and with help from our good friend have translated version of Readme...but may be will be some small changes
in fact i suppose we are near to finish line ... but we still need make a lot of tests of future RC and Online part of game.

[NightTrain]

Would be interesting to see the A-1/U2 in the sim along with the Stalingradtyp with the BK-75 or maybe something creative like with the Do-335. The He-177 will be interesting addition no matter what.

Good! Keep up the good work!

It's been known/accepted for years now that the ENGINE OVERHEAT prompt is too conservative.

Don't worry about it. Either ignore it or turn off HUD prompts.

[tsisqua127]

I have a question: I understand that it would be a monumental task, to completely remaster the game for a re-release, but how about the assembly of the community's most endorsed legal modifications produced by SAS members and the like, hard code these into a 15.0 release (or whatever you might be on at the time), not a true remastering of the game, but a "Special Edition" a la Skyrim Style? I'd sure buy it, even if my favorite mods were excluded, because most are steps forward, in graphics, in map development, aircraft design, etc. But you, you Team D, you know what the majority of us love and I'd trust you with that call.

Now, just WOW! You have kept this still in development, after all of these years! And this looks nothing short of astounding. I will always keep a stock installation of IL2, and keep a campaign going there. Nothing new can compare to what this game is and has done!

Thank You, TD!

[stugumby]

Saw on V wings a bit about 414 having a mod selector/modact. if this is the case has it been tested against the 2 new SB bombers? They both explode if using the latest SAS selector/modact, something to do with the engines data i believe.

"- bombers correctly open bomb bay doors."

Does this also mean that the #2 aircraft in the first element will no longer leave his bomb bay doors open after dropping payload?

Thanks! =)

[stugumby]

Hopefully it will mean all doors wont open unless needed, such as pe-2 with 4x Fab 250 under fuselage and the nacelle doors open, or when IL-4 is carrying a torpedo the bomb doors open etc. As well as the mixed loads or a fab 500 and the bay doors open.
