4.12 development update discussion and feedback

[ECV56_Guevara]

let´s calm down guys..I admit I´m a bit anxious about the 4.12 release but surely will be worth the wait.

They just posted a new vid:

Looks promissing if you ask me.

Vids great, really like the fact that you can now choose the formation for each waypoint.

Really looking forward to this TeamD, thanks

Wow, amazing content in that vid - Runway plates, craters, trees, paved paths, named objects in the FMB, flight formations, taxiing arrows, bomb bay doors, new ordnance, effects, co-pilot flight capability...

For me, the flexibility the FMB will offer in mission building with the new runway plates, craters and flight formations will certainly be the creme de la creme - that's worth a version update on its own!

Love your work TD!!!

We have it. Its still under correction (slight). There was not time to complete the work. It probably will be in next patch. Darwin and North Cape maps are other candidates... and maybe others.

Did I tell you that I love you DT???

Really, this will be the greatest patch ever.

Seriously...are you guys wizards?

Thanks soo much for this! Truly amazing. No other sim has those kinds of crash effects. Landing gear damage effects are stellar!

i'd prefer video with p-40, but and here some good things too, especially, these new effects...

Having just watched the video it shows a great amount of progress, and you can tell has been done by enthusiasts! The detail is really impressive.

A couple of questions.

1) When we see the ski aircraft taking off, they move like they could all take-off together, rather than one after the other, as we currently have.

The question relates to aircraft on grass airfields. Is it possible (maybe only when set to a 'Scramble' mission), to have the aircraft take off together as shown here at 50-seconds? :

I know this was CloD, but is is possible to have this in 1946 as CloD is no longer being officially developed?

2) I had hoped to see Gurner's effects used in 4.12, but we have some work done, most of which is excellent. My only critique is the flame effect. I love the lighting on the fuselage, but the flame seems to be the original cotton ball effect. Is it not possible to make this less cotton ball and more smooth?

3) Lastly, not shown in the video, is there any thought on actually using the OpenGL routines to create self-shadowing aircraft, which are possible in IL2 1946, but just not implemented yet?

Excellent news and update, cheers, MP
