4.09 - Support & Bug Reporting

[Azimech]

The QMB maps Bessarabia and Slovakia, although beautiful by themselves, have starting positions near the edge of the map, which is ugly. Why not place them a bit towards the center?

Also, is the Fokker really so hard to fly? It stalls or snap when using full aileron.

That's unfortunate but if we put them in the middle of the map than AI will have problems with mountains if player set their flight low. So we had to chose between "boring" scenery and AI crashing all the time.

Also, is the Fokker really so hard to fly? It stalls or snap when using full aileron.

Reports says that it had nasty tendency for wing tip drops.
Quote from Finnish pilot:

"we found soon that it is pleasantly stable when firing. Its behaviour was quite good, but tad some temperament, that could make things hot for unprepared pilot. Stalling without any warning, even in higher speed, could be very surprising for a unexperienced pilot, but most dangerous was landing. Nose pointed high up and tailplane losed effectivness. If the speed dropped too much during approach, you had to have a lot of luck and we really lost couple of planes during landing"

Because we had to make sure, that quick missions work even if you start with 16 AI-planes on 200m altitude. As AI would probably have difficulties in areas with hills and mountains, a relative flat area was chosen to let the things happen.
Its a compromise.


EDIT: FC99 was faster. Good morning!

Yes, Fokker was a nasty plane to fly. Several finnish pilots were killed because of this behaviour. And you probably mean full elevator?

Great patch guys, I apreciate your work very much, but i ahve a few qustions:

1.- I thin with the new patch you could optimized de game for multicores?
2.- Ta-152c turn better, but is to slow, maybe you could fix that.
3.- Ta-152H-1 in the real life have a lebel stabilizer, you could fix that to?

Very well guys I like your jobe

I made a clean install of il2. Patched the the game to 4.08. Downloaded
the English international version from Misson4today.
I made sure the game ran in 4.08 then installed the patch. The game will not
even start to try and run just sits at the desktop screen.
I have the US release of IL2 Sturmovick 1946.

Firstly thanks for the great work in 4.09.

I am in love with the i-16 t6, in particular the exposed wheel wells, great details. ( i did some rata skins a long time ago with exposed wheels and have been waiting for this)

The sm79 damage model needs examining.

I accidentally ran a hurricane wing through the sm79's wing the result being hurricanes wing torn from the root as the sm79 flies along no problems.

I have repeated this several times with the usual loss for the sm79 being a flap. ( no big deal for the flying tank!!)

SM79 was a tough plane but not that tough!

I am so pleased that its not just me that has the stall problem.
On the plus side, I just love the damage model --- which I've now seen from many angles.

Unfortunately, no. I really mean full aileron.

Hi Ubies,

I'm Ritchie, new to this forum, fresh from the file front.. First, hats off & many thanks to Team Daedalos for the terrific 4.09 patch, great stuff!

I installed directly upon 1946 4.08m DVD version, German language.
Everything works fine, but there's one glitch that spoils it again for me:
When flying offline, German radio traffic is mutilated. Voices are constantly cut off, on and off, on and off, it's hardly understandable.

Can't get it back to normal! Maybe somebody out there has an idea.

Tried out a couple of things, inside and outside IL-2, but still can’t get a grip on this nervy voice problem. That is, about half of the radio in-flight communication appears as it should, the rest is just dropped. Easy to notice because the written text lines are all complete.

Strangely, it’s not always the same modules that are missing, it’s totally unpredictable.
Example:
> text should be:
- No. 2, verstanden
- No. 3, verstanden
- No. 4, verstanden

> it comes out once as:
- No. 2, ---
- --- , ---
- No. 4, verstanden

> the next time it is:
- --- , ---
- No. 3, verstanden
- --- , verstanden

and so on

As if the virtual playback mixer could no longer count to three.

conf.ini is o.k. & unchanged. Music & sound is o.k. anyway. The. wav voice module files in the speech folder are all there , unchanged and intact.
So the bug – if it is one- is messing up coordination of the voice modules.
Now I’m not a programmer. I’ll post this around and then call it a day.

Have a nice flight

Ritchie
