I never say I only like fighters, I said that I think the Il2 plane looks ugly. By design that is, as the same I think the Hurricane looks ugly. The spitfire I think look beautiful by design and sound.
Got a problem with that?

So MG should do all modifications of spitfire now, because you think that it's most beautiful plane?
I said what i think about p-51, because i dont understand why you talk about your opinion if it might offend other people.


Mod Edit: If another user attacks you, report his post and we'll take care of it. Don't keep doing the same thing and dragging the entire thread off topic. Thank you.

What about new graphic? It's related "only" to the FPS improvement or also to the water, sky, clouds, landscape ecc. ecc..?

Thank for your time and the update.

I appreciate the update very much.

I like the screenshots of the IL-2. I am looking forward to seeing more of it.

I recently looked at photos from a trip my father did on the trans-Siberian railway and was surprised that it was the same landscape for days with the same birch trees, with the same color of their autumn leaves. Looked like a railroad miniature landscape... Maybe they are not that off, even though I agree it's a lot more varied here in southern Sweden...

Great stuff for the First Aniversary or so!
I really am looking forward to the long awaited patch & will buy the Battle of Moscow ( or whatever it will be called ) in a drop-dead second!

Thanks for the nice pics blacksix, looking forward to the sequel.

Great to hear the patch is near. Keep up the good work.

First - Thank you very much for developing and continuing to work on what will soon be the best WW2 Flight simulation. I very much APPRECIATE it!

Question - So this patch will fix the beta release clod and we will no longer ctd ect when flying in formations in multiplayer? Is it more of a server code issue or was it all a graphics memory leak issue? Everyone I have talked to experiences this we all reboot before flying and one by one everyone ctd's at some point, I think there is one lucky fellow out of 6-8 that does not. It doesnt matter what graphics settings are used it only helps in that it takes a little longer to ctd with the graphics turned way down.

Note I am not at all being negative, if this is resolved you will have a very large amount of happy people.

I will Preorder your expansion the second this is resolved.

And to the naysayers, stop.

I have a question regarding future CEM improvements please.....

Would you please ask Luthier if the team are planning to implement a more realistic engine temperature model where operating temperature is dependent on:

altitude (colder air at altitude = cooler)
airspeed (more air through radiator = cooler)
radiator obstructions (like lowered landing gear leg on spit)
mixture (richer mixture = cooler)
boost (lower boost = cooler)
rpm (lower rpm = cooler) WE HAVE THIS ONE

Also radiator flap setting should affect speed and yaw.


Some interesting notes from Spit II manual:

The coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostatic control (automatic) and a radiator flap which regulates the flow of air through the radiator, but which cannot be fully closed. The position of the radiator flap affects the lateral trim of the aircraft (the radiator being under the starboard wing) and can usually be kept in the closed position during cruising flight.

ACTIONS AFTER TAKE-OFF
Close the radiator shutter (unless a high power climb is done, when the lever should be a little forward).

Thank you

What on earth are you talking about?
First, this thread is called IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of dover. So when they come with their usual Friday update, I expect to hear only of that and not hear about their sequel. They should make or post it in their sequel thread, if they have not such a thread they should make one.
I never said anything about MG doing all modifications of the spitfire, that is your words, so don't put what is flying inside your head and make it sound like I said it.
So what if you think the P-51 is ugly?`I couldnt care less what you like or not, and the same should you. Personal opinions are....yeah; Personal!
If my opinion OFFENDS someone, well let them be offended! Why should I care if my opinion offends someone? Let them be offended then. There is no crime being offended.
You should watch this video and you might learn something:

Core blimey, is that what CloD looks like with all the "bells and whistles" turned on. With my PC settings it looks like a case of, "Should have gone to Specsavers". I must have missed the memory leak bit from Luthier. I take it that the memory leak bit is the Launcher exe problem? Never the less, onward and upwards Moriarty, maybe I'll get a bonus present for my birthday next week!!!
