4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

[Blackdog_kt]

If you have installed a version of mods that was made before the 4.09 patch, then it's natural that 4.09 won't install correctly on top of that.

The correct process each time is:
clean installation-->official update 4.09--->mods that work with 4.09
clean installation-->official update 4.10--->mods that work with 4.10
...and so on.

You will have to install official updates on a stock, unmodified version each time.

Maybe you forgot to install 4.08 patch?

Installation sequence goes:
Il2 1946 -> 4.08 -> 4.09
or:
Il2 1946 -> 4.08 -> 4.09beta -> 4.09

Hi

A long standing bug now from several patches back has been the gliders and towing them.

Online its now not possible to use the tow planes for human pilots:

He111
Bf110

Can this function be restored and if so please add a release button for the glider release cable, also a better AI release point to target a drop/trlease point on the map.

There are many small features about IL2 1946 that make the sim unique and this was one of them.

Regards

Also please fix the FW/Mistel combo.

It no longer works correctly as Human controlled or AI

All you need to do is test it quickly to see the problems.

I don't know if this is a bug or not, please help.
On the SM.79, the flaps lower automatically (usually under 190km/h). Can someone please tell me if this is a bug or one of the SM.79's 'features'? Thanks!

[nzwilliam]

I believe it's a feature, not unlike the Ju88's raising automatically above around 250kph.

Nope, it's a feature. From 4.09_Guide.pdf:

Flaps: SM.79 has completely automated flaps/slats. These are automatically and gradually deployed (via hydraulic actuators) when the aircraft IAS falls below 210km/h. Maximum extension is reached when IAS drops to 140km/h. Retraction is also automated, at the same speeds. Ailerons also act as flaps (flaperons) by deflection downwards with the automated mechanism.

I'd suggest downloading this file if you don't have it (from wherever you got the 4.09m patch, or try Mission4Today - http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...etails&id=3742). You also need to understand the unusual propeller pitch control. The SM 79 is a nice plane to fly once you get used to its quirks, but it helps to read the manual!
