Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY - For 4.11

[viktor94]

We also need rockets for the FM-2.

from the stationary plane spawn, I would like to request that when the player is in a stationary plane, the numbers of the stationary plane should be the same.

Some method to set the altimeter to zero before taking off? Sometimes there is a difference between the height of the airstrip and the height shown on the altimeter (sea level?). By the time you return to land, you've forgotten or can't remember what the difference between the initial altimeter reading and "true" zero was. I've noticed that it is, on occasion, nearly 100m. It would make landings somewhat easier!

There might be a minor change that would add another useful vehicle to IL-2.

In the past, I have used the BA-64 as a substitute for the Sk Kfz 222. It doesn't have a red star painted on it, and its armament is reasonably similar, though the wrong color tracers.

But I could not use the BA-10 as a substitute for the Sd Kfz 231 (6-rad) or the Sd Kfz 232 (6-rad). Is it possible to remove the red star on the BA-10 object skin? That would permit such a substitution.

Alternatively, the B8 Greyhound could also be used without the white star. Not as good visually as the BA-10, though.

Armored cars were used extensively by the Germans, yet they are not as well represented as the Russian armored cars. An 8-rad vehicle would be a whole new vehicle. And the Sd Kfz 250 is missing as well.

Perhaps the removal of the red star on the BA-10 would be a simple change?

Hi Daidalos Team
love what you have done.

With the next patch would it be possible in the fog of war to added to added aircraft limited to the number of aircraft lost for each side and limited the number of pilot killed or captured for each side and when either side has be exhausted it a in game message which side has won. Also if you can it would be good to be able to have the option to tick if AI aircraft and pilot count and the same with static aircraft.

Also in targeting option when making a mission work great but you can set it one side only.
This would help to make mission building easier if this option can be set of both side in stead of only one.

Also would it be possible to have a trigger option so if a target is attack the AI react that you setup for this will change from there flight way points go and give air or ground cover.

And also the same with ships so if they come under attack they make a turn to the port or the starboard.

Also the option to set way points for ship able to have then zig zag or not tricking and option between each way point.

1st off. One of the major gripes I’ve found with the single player campaign mission is the fact that you have to at least land or complete one of the mission objectives before you can advance to the next mission.

I’ve recently found my old Microsoft CFS2 and I loved its single player due to the fact that even if you fail miserably in a mission as long as your not KIA, MIA or captured you can go for the next mission. Everyone has a bad day occasionally and I would like that to be recorded.

As it is now I lift, follow the objectives, shoot a couple planes down and sometimes am forced to bail/ditch before the kill limit for advancing is done or our friendly bombers take to long to do their run. Now I have to redo the mission and am able to get half a dozen kills because I know where and when they show up.

2nd It would also be nice to have several missions where our objective doesn’t meet several enemy planes. every sortie with 4 or 5 kills gets to be repetitive.

Taking a look at a couple of the German aces and I’ve noticed they have, say 800 sorties of which 250-300 of them they made contact. It would be great to have half a dozen sorties where we don’t manage to find anything to shoot. And would add to the realism factor as you don’t KNOW that you’ll find anything that particular sortie.

Cheers and thanks for reading.

1st off

Uncheck "No instant success" option in the difficulty.

2nd off

I agree, but a lot of players would be bored. You can't expect any changes to DGEN because the designer has disappeared. As for hand made campaigns, well, you might be forced to build one yourself with those parameters.

May I ask what difficulty level you play on? I find that I don't rack up such scores because I'm trying to cover my wingmen as much as possible (I'm usually the last one in the flight). The last mission I flew in DGEN was escort in the Brewster. We had Moranes also with us. When we encountered Polikarpovs, the Moranes went in first and did most of the work. My flight leader did manage one kill. I personally saw no action that trip and had a warm cup of tea back at base. No bombers or escorts were lost.

We can't make Battle of France campaigns without the Bloch MB.153, Bloch MB.154, and the Bloch MB.155

And maybe, add a Junkers 290 or Junkers 390 maybe for 4.12.

Personally, I'd just settle for a flyable MS 406 and MS410 with a realistic cockpit (with instruments printed in Finnish, Bulgarian and French please! ).

FWIW, there are independent efforts to create both the D.520 and the MB.151-155 series which are reasonably far advanced. I have no idea if they'll ever be part of an official release, though.

There have also been attempts to create some of the other French planes in the 1939-40 order of battle, but these are at the "maybe some day" stage.

[Ace1staller]

Anybody got any disadvantages for the Ju 290 and Ju 390 bombers for 4.11/4.12 ?
