Good suggestion! I second that.

Even this information could be complemented by some kind of "pilot notes" section with info about specific aspects of the plane such as altitude for supercharger, armament selection, corner speed, gauges positioning, ...

This aditional information, that is not included in the present view objects section, could be developed by players and sent to TD for verification and integration in new patch releases.

best wishes and my gratitude to TD and MG

Yes, excellent idea! This would help very much with aircraft selection

I would really like it if you guys updated the F-8 view, so it stays level with you when diving and climbing with a plane.

This would be wonderful if we could have it in 4.10.

I currently have it mapped to my second trigger button, because I like to fly outside the cockpit.

S!

I wish ..

If you could..

Fix the FW 190´s taxing power.

Check P/W ratio vs other planes. ... Many planes P/W


I like ...

mathematics/physics.

It's the well known and longly debated acceleration issue of the FW190, Jumoschwanz did extensive tests (check the Ubi US forum), and the Würger is the worst one by far. The common objection against the correction of that regard the overall balancing of strengts and weaknesses to keep a more or less balanced game.

You mean that all these years the FW190 has been underperforming?

You can find "underperforming" or "wrongly modeled", or "porked" aircraft everywhere in the sim. Especially if you look at them out of the context of the overall plane set. Every aircraft's fan boy base has their favorite complaint. I know, because I champion my favorites as much as anyone does. However, and this is the important bit, taken as a whole the sim does a very good job of putting the aircraft in their proper place vis-avis their adversaries.

Just my thoughts after 8+ years of playing.

And really the FW 190A series are far from being the most problematic.

The worst IMHO, in no particular order:

P38 rate of climb. (underperforming)

P38 compressability (too pronounced at low altitude)

A6M series speeds. (too slow)

A6M roll stiffness at speeds. (too early an onset)

Wildcat top speed. (too high)

Hellcat top speed of late version. (too low)

Ki 61 turn/maneuverability. (underperforming)

P40 series turn/maneuverability (underperforming, P40 should out turn Spitfire I and II below 15,000 ft. Hawk 75 was even better.)

Ki-100. Underperforming in general, especially maneuverability.

All bombers. Too robust. (The in game version of the death star)

Default Control surface

Hello

When you are playing on a LAN configuration, your companion doesn't see the surface movement of your plane. Example: If you move your ailerons the other person doesn't see the movement.

It is possible to fix this?

I will list what the other person can see on a LAN game.

Ailerons NO
Rudder NO
Elevator NO
Folding Wing YES
Open canopy YES
Tail hook YES
Flaps YES
Lights YES
Radiator NO
Landing gear YES
Spinning wheels YES
Spinning propeller YES
Guns (all) YES
Bomb bay door YES

Thank you

Bomber gunner AI, shoots in opposite direction to enemy or doesn't allow for convergence.

Stuka AI don't evade attackers, just flies straight and level to oblivion.
