Second one is normal AM radio tower. For example it could be "Radio Honolulu" at Pearl Harbor. Mission builders can create very specific radio broadcasts with sound clips and players can use radio stations for navigation or just to keep boredom away on long flights. For Pearl Harbor attack, mission builder could put sound clips to folder "samples\radio\RadioHonolulu\19411207". These could be heard only when mission date matches the folder. For any other dates, the samples would be played from the "RadioHonolulu" folder.

Awesome update Viikate! I'm especially happy to see both the G.50 with a proper spinner for Med operations as well as the Bf110 with corrected engine nacelles. I requested both of those a long while back and I'm absolutely delighted that they will be in 4.10. The redone Ju88 looks great too.

Cheers,

Cool

Wow! Excellent update, Looks fantastic, can't wait now. The radio broadcasts are fascinating, and the new "night" with runway lights and ILS, wasn't expecting that!

The guided bombs dropping from the B-29 raise as many questions as they answer...

Default Amazing work!

Amazing work TD! I can see why it is taking so long - there is so much new stuff here and the new nav aids alone are such a huge step!

Have you heard of the "Schwan" floating radio beacon the Germans developed? It could be laid in a line across large areas of water by pathfinders to allow following bombers to navigate exactly to the target. It was to have been used in a Mistel attack on Scapa Flow for example. But after the Tirpitz was sunk our big ships went east to fight the Japanese so it never happened.

Anyway, the beacons etc are so welcome. Thanks a lot and keep going

Default amazing

I gathered the following from those pics
1. a parachute droppable torpedo, possibly circling/homing from a A-20G
2. underwing werfer rockets jettisonable for the bf-110 and bf-109 series
3. guided bombs dropped from b-29
4. cockpit of some type of la-7 / la-9 judging from the nose air scoop
5. very handy map with waypoints and distances in degrees and km
6. nite cockpit shot of some type of nav aid in use
7. some type of superimposed reticle on a i-153 telescope
8. damage model improvements for the wooden propellor and the under cabin escape hatch on a ju-88 torp plane

i stand impressed and awaiting the new patch quite eagerly, im itching to build a hs-129 campaign.
Does anyone know if the rear of the ju-88 rudder has been tweaked to remove the interior view??
