1C Team Questions and Requests (closed)

Type of improvement: Aircraft SDK
Explanation of proposals: The ability to create and use aircraft from the community, with a multiplayer option with the server allowing what aircraft can be used.
Benefits: This allows for the continued longevity of the series, much in the way the original IL2 is going with it's unofficial mods.

Some time ago, it was said we will have the ability to do this, back when Oleg was in charge. The question is, is this still the plan? It should be. Allow the community to grow the same way IL2 has, but with some sort of actual in game support to make it easier to implement.

Type of improvement: Spit II Mixture Operation

Key points:
1. Currently impossible to use +2.5 boost on lean mixture at 2650 RPM (maximum cruising value specified in manual for 87 octane). Maximum possible is currently +1.1 boost.

2. Mixture should have a direct effect on the temperature of the oil and coolant - at present it has no effect.

3. Smooth engine operation is possible at extreme boost levels +5 upwards. These are way above the maximum permissable on a weak mixture and from what I've read should result in severe detonation - rough running and eventual engine damage.

Explanation of proposals: I've been experimenting with the auto-rich / auto-lean mixture settings on the Spit II. My original Mark II manual states that auto-lean cruising should be possible at 2650 RPM up to +2.5 boost on 87 octane and up to +4 boost on 100 octane fuel.

I'm not sure which fuel is being modelled for the Spit II but I guess 87 octane since boost only registers up to +8 and not +12 as mentioned in the manual.

I'm finding that I can't use more than +1.1 boost without the engine starting to miss. This is at sea level. As you climb the boost must be backed off to keep the engine running smoothly - I'm no pilot but this seems logical enough - higher altitudes = less air so mixture becomes richer and starts choking the engine.

I'd like to request that mixture is tweaked to allow me to operate according to the manual please.

I'd also like to see an effect on oil and coolant temperatures when switching between rich and lean mixtures.

It is also possible to operate very high boost settings on lean mixture (way above the maximums in the manual) without any signs of detonation or engine trouble.

Benefits: More accurate mixture behaviour allowing user to fly by the manual and obtain higher boost settings in a lean cruise. Introducing effects of mixture on engine temps would make engine management more interesting and varied.

Thanks

Type of improvement: Boost cutout mechanism

Explanation of proposals: The boost cutout switch/knob in the game simply allows the throttle to be moved further forward to higher boost levels. In the real aircraft this was not the case. The real switch immediately removed the restriction on boost for the current throttle setting - allowing boost to surge without having to adjust the throttle at all.

This means that even if the throttle isn't at it's fully forward position, a surge in boost is still likely when the switch is flicked - as any current restrictions on boost will be removed.

Benefits: More accurate boost behaviour. This is also better for the player since at the moment if the throttle is fully open when the switch is operated, the lever must be moved back and then forwards again to achieve the higher boost.

Thanks

I don't know if this was posted already, but here we go:

Type of improvement:
Gameplay /Handling

Explanation of proposals:
Gunners at all and the Ju87 rear gunner especially are too difficult to handle.
The vertical mouse axis is inverted and can't be changed.
The "lens-mount" moves definitely too slow, compare with the same mount shown in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlJlOQcDAhE

As a improvement i'd recommend to use a qualifier key with the mouse-movement to steer the mount (lafette).

Benefits:
Added realism through easier, more realistic handling

Type of improvement:
AI

Explanation of proposals:
So far, AI (if you shoot at them) reacts as soon as you pull the tringer, even if AI didn´t see you before. (See Video 1.00).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DacyvAuAgbk

So AI should hold back the Reaction until Bullets have crossed the AI-Plane plus maybe 0.5 seconds (Reaction time).

Benefits:
Realism

Type of improvement:
graphic details

Explanation of proposals:
will be an improvement in the glass of the canopy, that can see shinning marks details when we see to the sun, like is in DCS?. example photo.

Benefits:
more realism

[zakkandrachoff]

trees.
Type of improvement:graphic, realism. better online playing

Explanation of proposals:this is not only a theme of graphics, is an important thing that i read in almost the COD forums. The problem is more big when is online. Is about the Trees, and the setting for kick away them.
instead of take away the trees putting low setting, for me, is better and more real, put 2D trees.
and In almost the videos, there are not trees, and are not nice to see, and this is not so good for someone that see this searching for the newest sim and sink, "no trees": this is prehistoric simulators.
so, my little advice is to change setting "NO TREES" for "2D VERY BASICS TREES", like trees of DCS or IL2 old series.
dont all have in our machines 2GB videocard DDR5 and I7.

and like always, sry my bad english

Benefits: better realism playing in offliners and online dogfights in low hadware machines. don't get like old sim.

Benefits:

Furthermore they all break together and in formation. IRL the formation would have scattered.

Type of improvement: Pause Chat Window
Explanation of proposals: Difficult to read the chat history, because the chat window jump back to the last row if a new line comes in. Should be solved to stop the chat for this time.
Benefits: Easy to read history

[il_corleone]

Type of improvement:
Graphics

Explanation
Bring back the old Colors for the first versions of the game,without any bad performance, they looked more realistic and immersion in the canopy, for sure

Good Things
The game it will be more immersion
