Brilliant, I hope it can be in 4.10, that would be great. I think the P-38 also suffers from this too?

Good luck, and cheers TD/ FC99 for the quick reply.

Update on the off-center controller bug:

Another user has verified the bug and recorded a video showing it in action. See a few posts down here:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?p=146603

The video below details a few of the aircraft. I have since found the B-24 have the same awful contrail bug.

Currently I have found Six aircraft that are affected by the contrail bug (probably more but I'm only into US AC) five of which are shown below.

The video below shows those aircraft, but also finishes with video showing the current position of the mesh hook for most aircraft.

Followed by a clip showing the authentic position of contrails.

I understand that the P-38 contrails should appear just above the engines as they exhaust from the top rather than behind.......but if behind is easier it's got to be way better than the ones that are there at the moment?

Basically this would be a long winded piece of work (I would think without having any knowledge of what's involved), but to have the contrail start at the aircraft rather than 20-feet behind would be fantastic!

So, the video below shows the positions of misplaced contrails, followed by a P-51D with the current contrail mesh-hook position. Then I used a Blue Screen technique to create a video that shows how the contrail really should look.

Hopefully someone will be able to to a contrails mod and fix the position of the contrails. Can I have first dibs on all P-47, 51 variants though?

Cheers, MP.

The spring centering part of force feedback gives plenty of resistance (as if in flight) when spawning on the ground, and only loosens up when the tail has been lifted from the ground at least once, typically during take-off.

Steam version, G940, 5.08 Profiler version, XP Home Edition -32 bit.

Old bugs still present

Mig3 série cockpit (all):

Landing gear light indicator are green when gear up, red when gear down. Should be the contrary, as in all other aircraft.

Yak15 cockpit:

compass is reversed. It works ok only at heading N and S, it reads W when real heading is E, 030 when real is 300, and so on.

I know one can only see it with 6DOF, since otherwise it's hidden by the gunsight, but i like to play with no text on my screen, not even speedbar heading indication.


Another humble request: would it be possible to have subtitles in the lower part of screen, instead of the upper part ? I know most of the time i scan high to look for ennemies, and there subtitles distract me much.

I still need them to know what my finnish, romanian or russian flymates are saying though. In fact EAW worked well for subtitles, with one black line background in the lowest part of screen and white text on it. Do you think DT could give us an option to have this kind of display ?


Thank you very much for what you're all doing at DT, IL2's getting better and better !

Landing gear issue
 

I have just found out that on some aircraft, that I rarely use, I-16 (all versions - old and new) and F4F-3/4 the landing gear is no longer working after the 409m was installed. Everything else works fine.
Does anyone experience the same problem? There may be more planes like that.

In the types you mentioned you need to assign keys to manually raise/lower gear since in them you had to operate a crank to lower/raise a gear.

Thanks, it's just my inexperience. Works Ok.
For small convenience, it would be nice if gear up/down keys had self repeat feature, so one can get continuous action.

You can set up manual gear raise/lower in your RCU file so you dont have to "tap" the keys.

They (manual gear keys) are not continues on purpose: to be tiring. ;)
