Any update soon?

[P-38L]

Hello Daidalos Team

It has been a long time since there has been news of any possible update. Do you plan to make any improvements or updates to the simulator? In a way, I feel sad that this great flight simulator is being forgotten and does not continue with the magnificent work that you as a team have developed over time. I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you.

Development seems quite slow indeed, but Sita has posted some videos showing the new pit for the He-177 tail gunner and the new flak towers.

Thank you.
I wonder if it will be possible to have varied weather in the middle of a mission and if the RRR option (Rearm, Refuel, Repair) can be implemented.

[Sita]

Hi) thanks for your interest)

of course we a planing to continue work .. in fact we don't stop ... but not everybody have possibility and time to work without stop on what he love ... some time life brings many tasks that have to be distracted, so at the current moment of time working process is slowed down significantly, but it's not mean that we are leave work at all ...

we have a lot content in different stage of work ... what we are planing include to possible future 4.15 ... no .. other way.. we have working build of 4.15 .. like a skeleton... in which we plan add content ... but also we have lack of skillful hands... but it was always some time more some time less ..
for now i can't say any date or timing when we plan finish nearest patch ... work goes ... slowly ... but goes ... and mostly forward)

It is nice that the development of this magnificent flight simulator can continue . How can I help?

Guess I better keep making missions then!

But, when I can count the number of players remaining online playing version (4.14.1) on one hand, its hard to keep hope. I'm honestly not sure how you guys keep going Sita! But, as 1 of the 5 people still flying, I appreciate it!

The Dedicated Server must be usable with HyperLobby.

We are a group of 8 friends who for more than 14 years have played together this magnificent flight simulator. We are sure that we will never stop enjoying it. We have even dreamed of flying the Ju 52, two of us as pilot and co-pilot and the other 6 as passengers. We have always wanted this feature to belong to this aircraft. If so, it would be the only flight simulator with this feature.

The bomber version with bucket will be available to fly, or AI only?

[Sita]

for now bucket is ai position

I am very excited to be able to fly this wonder

Thanks for the update and the continued work Sita.

I notice there has been some negativity in the 1946 community lately, mostly to do with continuing online play issues with 4.14.1 I think. Hopefully your progress updates can bring some more positivity for this great sim! :)

Hi,

1SMV squadron server was running on DS 4.14.1 from HL last spring. Have you tried to run it from any 3rd party program, like Server Commander?

I'm curious to know how they can do that!

[Sita]

it's upon from commander software ...but i don't know details ..

[_1SMV_Gitano]

SC works from IL2 main folder. Try rename the SC executable to the one looked at by HyperLobby (I do not remember the keyboard combo for this...), and backup il2server executable first! :)

[Avimimus]

This might seem like an odd, even silly, suggestion...

But I've always wanted to have this concept for a 1930s flak tower in the sim... it'd be fantastic to set up an attack on it using the TB-3, while biplanes dogfight around it!

It probably isn't worth the time, but it would be fun, and I don't think it would require extra coding (assuming the elevators aren't functional).

Note: It elevates anti-aircraft guns, but also had catapults for launching aircraft... so mounting a runway at one level with a single launching spot for a player aircraft would be... interesting!

No problems there :cool:

[Jumpy]

Hi Sita, many thanks for the hard work done by daidalos team. Il-2 '46 is still such a pleasure to play. Since flack towers appear to be intended, is it possible to make port floors etc 'hard-surfaced so that objects can be place on them?
Also could the AA platform wagons be activated as artillery? I sometimes build missions with trains made from stationary objects, and it would be good (I think) if the AA wagons could respond to attacks as genuine AA artillery.
Many thanks for the time you spend keeping Il-2 alive and dynamic.

[Jumpy]

I almost forgot (I do that a lot). Any additional ships would be greatly appreciated by all players, I am sure. The coastal steamer which was added, I forget which patch, is so pretty. I am thinkin of cargo ships, 'tramp' steamers etc as well as any warships. Any extra shipping that might be included will be weclcome.
I have just started playing with blender. Perhaps I might develop enough skill to do simpler objects like sandbag walls etc.

Hi there, I would like to ask you for more flyable planesin IL2 1946, 4 example: B-26 Marauder, Fairey Firefly, Fairey Barracuda, SB2C Helldiver, TBM Avenger, F7F Tigercat, He 219 Uhu, Do 217, maybe PBY Catalina, PBY Coronado.
If I should choose one plane from all I named, I choose B-26, but all off them would be nice to fly in IL2 1946.
Thank you for your work on this amazing simulator

Hey Sita!

Just curious on a historical note: Is the nose gun on the Li-2 just for early versions of field-modded aircraft? I did some very basic internet research, and it looks like that weapon did not stay there very long. Other than that, very cool!

[Sita]

yep.. it was some sort of field modification at first .. just attempt to give some more defense to that plane ... an attempt to provide at least some kind of protection from emeny fighters..

and after some time Li2 became a night bomber which was used in ADD (Long Range Aviation regiments)

Ah! Interesting. I thought that it might be useful against searchlights (it certainly is in the sim).

Do you know anything about the RS-82 equipped Li-2 field mod? I wasn't able to find any photos of that field mod. The same goes for the NS-45 equipped version.

I discussed it with Borovik here and he didn't seem to know of any surviving photos either:

unfortunately no .. don't not met anything about it

[Avimimus]

Okay. Thanks!

The cargo capacity is really nice to have. Are you considering modelling the versions with FAB-500 or 8xFAB-100?

That's a interesting rendition,far cry from the old Li-2 with the pencil shaped cowlings! Any chance of a bomb site tutorial?

[devel3d]

Hello! I cannot create a new topic, sorry

tell me which item in the conf.ini file changes the vibration of the aircraft when moving outside the airfield? :confused: sorry for my poor english

thank you!;)
