4.10 dev. update 2010-11-06

[JarheadEd]

Very very nice! I had no idea I would see a Dornier in there. That made my day.

I'm not quite sure what we're seeing with the IAR...New skin? And the PZL.11 & Gladiator?

EDIT - just noticed the Gladiator has an opened canopy, nice addition

Glad to see that there will also be a revised negative G effect. And it looks like you really are going to take care of the AI. Bravo Team, Bravo!

Now, not to put the cart before the horse, but what are you planning for the future?

Not much new about the IAR. New default skins makes it surely look nicer and there was one nasty visual bug with the landing gear that is fixed.

Great update guys. I fly the IAR a lot offline. The landing gear fix is welcomed and applauded but I am curious as to why DT did not replace the simple cylinder wheels on the IAR. The video footage seems to show that the wheels are unaltered from the originals. The Ju88 has new, high-poly/high resolution textured wheels.

Just curious,

Time...

I'm not sure what the bug is though - is it the one with the wheels poking through the landing gear covers?

Yeah, they were clipping pretty badly through the wheel covers when you looked at them from certain angles. The 4.10 fix will certianly make that look much better.

Cheers,

Not to be a nit-picker, but the P-39 has clipping in the nose-gear as well

Not a big deal though.

Gladiator has new skis (I think).

PZL may have had some model tweaks to clean it up (and Loku's DM improvements?). I'd love to see a 2-gun P.11 (as the majority served in this configuration).

Question: Do the AI improvements extend to B-25 straffers not straffing if their attack waypoint is high enough? Or shallow incline dive bombing rather than stuka style dive bombing for more aircraft (I've seen Ar-234's diving at 80+ degrees )

I'm just as excited about this stuff than SoW:WoW (perhaps because it might actually come out sooner - and I won't need a PC, but also because Il-2 is wonderful as is - despite the fact that SoW will be effectively definitive for the WWII combat flight sim genre).

i hope the 4.10 IARs will not have these insane amounts of ammoloadouts (1000rpg in the 80's .303 or 250rpg in the 81c's MG151/20 ) anymore and the P.11 will loose its weird DM

this sound more "logical":
http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazin..._eng_iar80.htm
600rpg in the .303 of IAR 80
400rpg in the .303 of 81a&c
120rpg in the 81c's MG151/20
300rpg in the 81a's heavy machineguns , even if its weird that they are MG131 and not 13mm "Brownings"

oh, and please, give the IARs mirrors a usefull angle please................ this "looking up to spot diving fighters" is rubbish IMHO !

[csThor]

That MG131 thingy is just one of the many weapons simplifications in the game. There is no such thing as "13mm Browning FN" in Il-2 ...
