The 129 wasn't available with stock 4.09, but... - no idea.

Yes

Viikate:
So nobody can guess what the two Hs-129 shots mean?[/QUOTE]

hmm I'll have a go at this one:
the Hs-129 pics show aircraft with direction-finding aerials

felix

but very helpfull in case with the F4U armed with TinyTims starting from a carrier !!
as these heavy rockets are only available with a Droptank, you can release the droptank ostill standing on deck before the launch without harming yourself or the ship :)

Tanks for the update Vikate. Definitely a lot of features to wrangle, its no small miracle the whole lot of you hasn't gone stark raving mad yet! :)

He already explained what is it with the Hs129 pics:

"The yellow light that muzzle flashes emit to model surfaces is now changing dynamically. More ambient light -> less visible yellow flash on model surfaces. "

Hi folks. I've been away for two weeks. Is the patch ready yet? ;-)

Not a whine - looks like 4.10 is going to be an astonishing product. :-)

I'm afraid not. Currently 2nd round of beta-testing.

Yea, and they released SOW too - unfortunately it's already sold out.
Sux for u, sorry.

;)

I couldn't help but laugh at that. Cute humour.

Will we have the minimap path without the little GPS-type airplane for full real?

Yes.

Viikate, you said about being able to have a sound file play when an AM tower is placed.

Will the sound file stop playing once the tower has been destroyed?

Great - thanks!

Yes it stops. All navigation related objects stop working if they are destroyed.

Thats brilliant news :grin: Thank you!

Great update, thanks TD.

More incredible looking stuff. The radio/nav beacon implementation sounds very cool- you've really gone the extra mile as usual.

Nice one!

A map with no daft little plane. Fan-bloody-tastic. Thank you!!!

huh ? .. I fly full real online scenarios now that do not have your plane on the map .. maybe it's a mod / server mod :confused:

We will have the path, headings and distances, but no little plane on the map. Just like you have it in RL (TM), with a prepared map when flying VFR.

When the patch is now? I'm really excited ^ ^

mfg. Pyskiper

Yup, a flight path with a line and some numbers in full-real will do that to you.

Lol, I haven't used the mini-map in full real for so long I'd kind of forgotten about it. I've always printed out maps and plotted the flight path, heading and distances on it. Now all that info will be available from the annotated mini-map, making it rather more useful in full real and saving all that map work. A real map rocks though.

Hello dear TD. If its able, can you make a litle perview, what will in 4.10 pach? I think it contains much more than showed (or shown, bad english :)) on the first page of this thread.
Thanks for attention!

We need a medium russian bomber!!!! (DB-3 flyable will be great)

greatings from Iran!!!!

+1 :)

Or IL-4

and here +1

TD,

Looking forward to the 4.10 ueber-patch :-D

But just out of curiosity, but how's the AI coping with the new visibility model, G-force and navigation changes? Could you perhaps say something about the new AI? For example, what will it do if visibility is poor or there's no line of sight?

Regards,
FP

or Tupolew SB-2. This is also a really good bomber!

Also great is the "Curtiss SB2C Helldiver". It would be great if you can take this into the next patches!

But when will the next patch come? I'am so excited!!!

mfg. Pyskiper

The DB-3 is the Il-4.

indeed ! LOL

Things appear to be significantly behind TD's first time plans.
Did a lot of issues crop up in testing?

their firewall doesnt block real live.com ........................

+1

(Bigger bomb-load than Pe-2, Il-2 or SB-2 - even in overload, more survivable and more produced - really opening up a new element of gameplay for RU)

DB3f = IL4 ...
all DB3, not F modification ... are differnt plane
almost 2000 kg of bombs ... but more often 1500 or smething like this...
10 - FAB 100 ( in fuselage ) and one 500 FAB or two 250 FAB otside fuselage ...
(sorry for my bad English )

they added significantly more to 4.10 than originally anticipated or planned for. as the code is incestuous and old... i guess it threw up more bugs the more stuff was added.

really thanks, perhaps, with your data, someone think about the real needed of medium bomber on Russian faction).But dont worry, no one cares becouse no one flys russian in a competition. We only fly german planes? (they have 2 great medium bombers) british and Us have few of them , EVEN ITALIANS GOT A great LEVEL BOMBER. Hate to fly an A20 or a B25 on russian planesets when in a competition.

PD: this is only a sugestion to DT for the next patch. not an attack (seriuosly) sorry if I wrote a little bit rude my english is really bad.

salut!!!!

hope the new patch came fast to us, we need it!!!!!

Remember that some/many of these efforts rely on the talents of third party developers. The Ju-88 was a third party development for example that Oleg included later when it was complete. There is currently a Pe-8 project for instance that may show up in a TD release... the work is done initially by a third party developer.

There are other groups out there that have been working on these things for years... It takes time work with bombers particularly due to all of the positions. This has always been an issue.

by the way... IL4 can take more than 2000 kg...
i read in books that one time on IL4 take 2500 kg... 10 fab 100 and 3 fab 500...

Il4 was a medium class bomber... and he is a basic bomber for Army and for ADD ( Soviet Strategic aircraft ) also IL4 can take torpedo... Basic Soviet torpedo bomber

I thought TD wasn´t going to take 3rd Party stuff.I mean,more than Fulmar,Swordish and Slot map.

Main article: List of A-20 Havoc operators
-Soviet Union (ASCC Reporting name 'Box'[7])

B25:
Soviet Air Force received a total of 866 B-25s (of types C/D/S/G/J).[12]


sounds legit to me. :D

I was wondering where all of this sudden talk about the Il-4 is coming from - then I checked Aviaskins! Vert is back at work again by the looks of it!

Any hints from TD about whether it will be included eventually?

When did they say that?

I think it's not so much a case of "we won't include stuff from modders" as it is a case of "we won't include your stuff if it's not within specified parameters".

So, if a modded plane is within the acceptable polygon limits, has accurate FM/DM and the modeller wants to share it with TD, it's not impossible to see it appear in an official patch.

At least that's the way i understood things when TD first announced their intention to gather some of the best 3rd party contributors and fuse their work into official updates. I could be wrong of course, in which case by all means correct me ;)

there are still some flyable variants of the Pe-2 around for the VVS.

Great.That spares TD work,and there is quite interesting stuff out there.

Looks great! Wonderful to see an ignored aircraft modeled! :D

I do see the counter weight modeled backwards, tho...

When will the Patch come??? I'am sooooo excited^^

Please tell us!

So long
..........Pyskiper

When it is ready :)

any new Development News!?

[strike]last was 28-05 :cool: [/strike]

Wrong )))
last was 07-31-2010 )))

Of course they use that planes (but that numbers are a lettle bit low, compare that with the total ops or the total medium class russian bombers produced)

anyway, 4 me is legit too becouse the only models that we can fly are those....

so.... we need a real and representative russian MEDIUM BOMBER ;)

WOW another german bomber!!!! impresive...

PD:was joking, great work with that Ai plane

Out for 2 weeks. :twisted:News? This patch is becoming a legend.

+100500

HI Team D. ,

I understand your reasons for resisting 6DOF head tracking, but in the meantime could a make a request for 3DOF?

There should be no real glitches, since the viewpoint is the same and I don't see why anyone without head tracking would want to use head roll?

Now for why I need it: I was lucky to get an emagin z800 vr headset from ebay. 3DOF head roll is simply more natural human movement in this case.

Now the good part: A simple program (glovepie) is available that simulates TIR so there is no tricky hardware work to do.

Since there is already a mod for 6DOF (that works great in terms of 3DOF mode) the code should be simple enough? Any chance at all?

No, its right. Last was 05-28-2010.

Yeah, but there's been an update since then in the body of the thread. It's just not been moved into the first post.

Several update posts with pictures on page 137 of this thread....31st July

thats right)

Thanks, didnt see yet. :eek:

So how many new flyable planes expected?

5

Do you think 4.10 will be released till next week?

I think it will be released next week.......but then again I've been drinking and I'm a happy drunk.

http://www.mission4today.com/images/smiles/ass.gif

On a next week, somebody say the same, and again, and again..... ;-)

This is why I drink! Between Oleg and DT, It's all that keeps me going! (That and the regular updates)

Cheers BadAim.

What a cracking idea, it's beer thirty somewhere...

:cool:

One more week! Any news? :(

Any news ? It's been six month delay now... Please just release what can be released and put some of your wishes for the 4.12.

I advise you forget it:grin:

Still running beta?

90% of the work (from what I hear)

Thought that it was going to be released today.Good it wasn´t.
Already downloading a huge file,and no,it´s not porn.

Usually the content is not the problem... it's the bug testing. And 4.10 has so many new features that there has been quite a bit of bug testing. So really it's not just a matter of slapping some content in and calling it a day (making it easy to pull stuff out and release). Really have to make sure that all of the ducks are in a row. Nobody wants a buggy release that causes all kinds of problems for lots of people. Then it's just not worth it ... no matter how much everyone wants it right now.

I think people will be quite satisfied when the release finally comes. I'm hoping it's soon... I've got a campaign release that I'm holding off on until some of the new features make a showing.

I see you have reopened this thread. Would be nice If you accompany this reopening just with a few words like "Do not worry guys, release is coming soon and still working on the beta"... something like that.

Throttle back on the anxiety guys. IceFire said the magic words. We haven't moved to a premature retirement. ;)

Hope it's gonna be soon... I don't want to be in retirement before it's released :)

Keep the efforts guys, and call for help if needed. You can count on at least 200 geeks to find all the bugs there will be in the patch :)

S.

Oh yes, there are plenty that would happily volunteer to beta test 4.10.. ;)

Thank you for your post csThor.

Yes, there are plenty that want to have 4.10 right now, no matter how buggy it is :evil::evil::evil:

:lol:

Tks for the news :)

LOL, and there very sme people would flame DT for the amount of bugs found on their beloved game.

No kidding mate, patience will pay... ;)

Most certainly :). Thanks in advance, DT.

You guys really should consider releasing a separate "missions and campaigns" bonus patch with each iteration (4.10, 4.11, 4.12 etc.)

I really liked have the Bi-1 and the I-16 micro-campaigns in the first couple of patches released for Il-2. It really helped you get into the new airplanes. Even if it is just three high-quality missions strung in a row, it is a lot better than the dozen new planes added to QMB (which I generally ignore) and half a dozen missions (which aren't enough to get a feel for the aircraft involved and are thus forgettable) that we got with AEP and PF.

My suggestion: Recruit three or four mission builders to the beta team (maybe it will even speed up the beta to have novel missions focussing on the new features).

Just a plug for a good, old and forgotten feature.

Sounds like a really good idea! I've been having the same thoughts myself.

If I was good at building fun/memorable missions I would totally jump on this :grin:

Yeah, I agree with this idea, I would definitely be willing to volunteer my time to make some deomstration missions for new content.

I'll give a big +1 to Avimimus' suggestion. I really enjoyed the Me163B-1 campaign where you start by doing test and training flights and then progress into interception missions.

Cheers,

Fafnir_6

S!

Nice idea :) I think there will be a ton of missions when 4.10 is released and people get the new toys :D

I love seeing this type of post sequence happen repetitively, it really makes me smile:

Poster 1: "Any news? We haven't heard anything for ages!"
Poster 2: "Two weeks! LOL."
Poster 3: "They've told us a million times, they're working on it!"
Poster 4: "Yeah but what could be taking so long?"
Poster 5: "They're doing it in their own time, you should be grateful!"
Poster 6: "Nah, they've given up, the world is ending"
Poster 7: "Yep, give us a Beta, or less content, something, anything!"
Poster 8: "No, take your time, get it right!"
Poster 9: "No, release it now or I'm leaving!!"
TD: "Don't panic, we're working on it."
Poster 9: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 8: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 7: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 6: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 5: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 4: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 3: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 2: "Thanks for the update TD!"
Poster 1: "Thanks for the update TD!"

:grin:

S!

Firestorm, that pretty much sums it up :D Lemmings!
