A lot of us would actually.

We did originally have "No Paratrooper Views" in the diff UI, but it was removed since it doesn't really feel like difficulty option. More like personal preference. So it is now as additional conf.ini parameter which player can set and exclude parachutes from external views.

Everything works as usual. Only difference with this feature is that the static plane determines the position and orientation of the plane which spawn in mission.

You can spawn inside hangars, blast pen/shed, etc. Old camo nets had solid collision mesh so it was not possible to taxi under these or spawn under the net. We've changed the collision mesh so that now it is possible to spawn under camo net. Also we added few new nets. Medium sized for medium planes and large net for large planes.

I got a very serious question for you guys. I have been flying il2 for a very, very long time so I know what I am talking about and I met people saying same thing. When you released 4.10 & 4.10.1 patches, we played it since the very first hour of release. We noticed that the plane moves very slow compared to 4.09 version. For example, it takes ages to close in on contacts 6 o'clock, when you dive on contact with 800 km/h it also takes ages to get to him, compared to 4.09. It is kinda weird. Did you change some code of the game? Can you explain a little? And will you change this in 4.11 to be like in the old times?

Thank you, all the best!

Yes, DT introduced the new visual effect, called "placebo". As for the future development, I can say, you can expect a newer versions of this effect in most unexpected places.



Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Nothing was changed. Not one line.
Its alone your impression, that seems to have changed.
All we can do for you, is to suggest to ask yourself, why this did happen to you and to the guys you met. Maybe its because of the 'very, very long time'...?

I remember very well, that the game made a compeltely different impression on me, as I started with it and that doesn't refer to FMs only. And that impression constantly changed during the years and still does.

Does this mean the camo net is no longer bulletproof ?

Could you please fix the FM Focke Wulf?
