In one mission I am fighter, so I want my fighter profile (one throttle). In the next one I would like to try some bombing in IL4, so I would like to switch to the bomber profile (left and right throttles) without manually remapping.
Of course I could have one throttle to control both engines, but that is so uncool...

You can create different pilots which you can select depending on what mission you are flying, and these will have there relevant settings saved to them, just select on the main game screen, so you can a have a fighter pilot profile and a bomber pilot profile,



Also slightly different, you can also have different responses for you joystick and different axis by doing this,

from the arming screen,



you can then select 1 out of 4 possible,

Ah, interesting trick, but it will work only offline, no? (Which is not a problem for me since I am mainly offliner, but thinking ahead...)

This is in fact what inspired my question - the possibility to adjust "just" the curves seemed somehow incomplete when it was marketed as a tool to switch between fighter and bomber profiles.

/me is going to create another user after so many years spent with John Doe.

No it will work online as well, you'll just have select the relevant pilot before joining the co-op etc....

Of course if you were in the middle of a dogfight mission you'd have to disconnect and reconnect, but that's no big problem unless your a score whore

Hi DT,

I noticed that the Il-2 multiplayer feature saves a list of the IP's of servers that the user has joined. Would it be possible to allow the user to enter a name or comment to help remind him which IP goes to which server?

I use Hyperlobby, but because I'm also using a markings replacement program (to get Hakaristi and swastikas), the game starts up and simply goes to the home screen, and I have to join the game manually from there (but the server IP is loaded in the drop-down list).

It would also be useful if hyperlobby ever went down (as it has before).

EDIT - would it be possible for the game to remember gun convergences for each aircraft, or at least, aircraft type? I typically only use 100-150 for early war fighters, 200 for mid-late war fighters, and 1000m for ground attack aircraft (Il-2 and Ju-87 etc). It can be annoying when I've forgotten to change convergence and end up having my AP cannon rounds crossing each other at 100m instead of busting a tank I guess there are bigger issues, but it would be a nice feature.
