I would be careful about complete removal. I think some planes per regiment would have them. The Russian regiments had people with titles like Regimental Navigation Officer and I cannot be sure but I would think a few planes would have them fitted and others would follow them.

Can't they be a loadout option please?

Some planes definitely had them - the Pe-2 springs to mind. The IL-10 should also have them fitted.

Pe-2 & Il-10 have RDF instruments always. Also one La-7 variant, since it had a D/F-loop antenna. I've never seen a Lagg-3 with one. But if it's really needed we'll have to figure out something. I think that binding to loadout wouldn't be very graceful solution.

BTW: googling FuG 302 "Schwan-See" gives better results.

Not planned yet. It would be possible to add as a loadout but it would need few extra tricks. This was R2 right? I'm not sure if this would be worth the effort. It seem that LW pilots were not too happy with this rüstsatz because it removed the rear gunner and shifted CoG too much rearwards. So I'm guessing that it wasn't used much. Or do you have other info?

Yes, having the altitude on the map is critical, requesting altitude from ground control is not very accurate I find as they say "Altitude 01, or 03" or something equally cryptic. If ground control would say "3000 metres" or 3000 feet or something that would be better.

Second one is normal AM radio tower. For example it could be "Radio Honolulu" at Pearl Harbor. Mission builders can create very specific radio broadcasts with sound clips and players can use radio stations for navigation or just to keep boredom away on long flights. For Pearl Harbor attack, mission builder could put sound clips to folder "samples\radio\RadioHonolulu\19411207". These could be heard only when mission date matches the folder. For any other dates, the samples would be played from the "RadioHonolulu" folder.
This is great news! :grin:

Will the transmissions stop once the radio tower has been destroyed?

+1

Yes, this would be very helpful.
When flying offline missions the mission briefing quite often fails to mention what altitude to fly or patrol at.
Even when the briefing does mention an altitude you are still left to wonder if you have to achieve that height by waypoint 3 or 4 or 5 .......:confused:

As TD are well into beta testing I would think that it is too late to add this detail to 4.10 , but perhaps it could be added to 4.11?

Very nice update though. The drool glands have kicked in again.:grin:

Dear Viikate and the TD team:
fantastic stuff! you guys are the greatest - as is your detailed knowledge of all & sundry concerning WW2 aircraft.
yours, Felix

when droping the weapons from the wings like the mortors wfr. does it effect the drag?

also dito for the fuel tanks.

Avimimus 08-01-2010 03:24 AM
I'm more curious to see if fuel tanks have an impact effect (or even do small amounts of damage). Just vanishing is a little creepy...

YES! That's going to be the very first thing I'm going to try and do.

Something to do with the muzzle flash?
