No idea we all need to be patient

24th of June, said the little bird. No hurry.

Coincidence? or ever the court jester as it's 'two weeks for sure' !;)

When ready.

There is no release date set within the team.

The only user, posting a release date, or any other DT-related news, which can be 100% trusted is this one.

Anyone else is just trolling, or speculating.

No news since January :(

I'm dying!!!

Hello daidalos.team

I don't know how much you know, but could you give us a unofficial "read me" of features that you 80% think have been implemented? Things that were under serious consideration last contact with the DTModers, Thank you.

I am looking forward to seeing how much they improve on the game, 4.11 to 4.12 was a lot as far as options and game smoothness went, And I have confidence that this patch will equal or exceed that.

Thank you again

You should get that looked at! :cool:

Lavochkins
 

Hi everyone and the Team! I experienced the Lavochkins are so... bugged or something, when they climbing vertical they still getting energy for 1-2 seconds, or don't lose any at least.
I'm playing IL-2 1946 since 3 years, told to myself -No, it cannot be- and other vulgar words in my language, but it's very annoying. So, please fix this flight model if is there a way.

Best Regards:

Lol...

This is an old, old, OLD issue. Like, about a decade old. It's a legacy of one of Oleg's super-mega-ultra-uber-performing Lavochkin FMs. The La-7s in particular were all but unstoppable. It was normal for AI (and even a live player in cases) to sustain high-speed bat turns and steep climbs without losing much energy at all. In addition, they were nearly indestructible. I can't count how many jokes were made about "Soviet Stronkest Delta Wood is Bestest!" in the old Ubi forums.

Believe it or not, what we have now is actually a toned-down version of the old Lavochkin's FM; it's not nearly as OP now as it used to be, though it is still quite formidable. In reality, the La-7 was a very strong and dynamic aircraft, more than a match in a dogfight against even the FW-190s. Not sure how well the relative performance between the two is represented in the sim, but now it is generally considered acceptable by many in the community (either that, or we simply got tired of making noise about it over the years lol), considering what Luftwaffles had to contend with before...

Sorry if that doesn't help your concerns, but I just thought it was a funny topic that brought up a lot of interesting memories and topics. :)

Also, it is impossible to stall/spin with La-5FN. It really looks like there is a strong bias towards Lavochkins, they are the only aircrafts in the game that still have that exaggerated flight models. From the russian side, Yaks are very well modeled (except Yak-9U, a little bit too fast), so Lavochkins should be fixed to match historical accuracy. There are quite detailed test reports available from NII VVS, these should be used as reference.
