4.12 & 4.12.1 Appreciation Thread

[Black_Sage29]

THANK YOU TD for this great patch

A lot of things have been fixed/added and I'm LOVING IT

First off, the .50cal bullet/vapor trail is EXCELLENT. I can feel the .50 cals now and can actually hit targets more like I would with 20mm armament


The smoke and engine fire effects are really realistic. . Almost looks like something from a ww2 guncam lol. Well done!



MACH RELATED DRAG is SUPERB!!!!. FINALLY planes like the P-47 have their dive advantages. I completely dusted a spitfire in a dogfight today which is how it should be when diving with a P-47.

Loving the new GUI interface also. Looks way prettier


Also REALLY looking forward to a custom sound-pack once someone makes one.

Again 4.12 is excellent. Thank you for a job well done



Team TD you really should have your own website with a donation button, I'm pretty sure the entire Il2 community would contribute

Haven't explored much yet, but the engine startup smoke is fantastic!

TD can't take any money, but if TD guys, individually or collectively, have a favorite charity, let us know. I'd be happy to contribute. You guys ought to get something more for your work other than our whines, complaints, and occasional praise.

PS You guys can PM me if you prefer.

EDIT: As an example, there was a great program at Mission4Today to contribute to "Make A Wish, International" when Joppe, a respected member of our community lost his battle to cancer at the too young age of 19. "Make A Wish" got him a flight in a P51 shortly before his passing.

Seriously, I don't think enough praise can be heaped on these guys. They certainly deserve more than our gratitude, that's for sure.

Why can't they accept donations with something like a paypal donation button..that's something completely separate from the game, 1c, maddo games, and Oleg

Legal contract is why.

We can accept donations, it's common misconception that DT can't take money but that is not the truth. We CAN'T SELL PATCHES, patches have to be free.

Despite that it is not our practice to accept donations, you can always give that money you wanted to donate to charity of your choice.

But if you have burning desire to spend money on Il2 you can always pay for features and 3d models you want to be added to the game. Couple of planes have been added to the game that way. Of course, this is not limited to TD members only, you can hire programmers and 3d modelers of your choice and if their work is done by required standards we will gladly accept it and include to the game.

I guess that Arty spotter is part of a bigger feature thath couldn´t make in 4.12
Is this true? Can we wait human controlled artillery spotter in a near future???

I didn't have time to enable spotting for humans in 4.12, there were too many other things that had to be done before. (More commands in comms menu,reworked artillery accuracy)

[ECV56_Guevara]

Thanks for your answer FC.
This is THE feature in 4.12 patch. A mission builder knows it is a revolution, and maybe more is almost there. Heyyyyy we got something like triggers after 12 years an DT did it!!!

About givin´money...well...just ask...give us a way to send it. There are comunity projects on the way that would need it. DT would surprise about how many il.2 fans around the world are willing to support with money the sim patching.
