the idea with the magnetos to be set off with complex Motormanagement would be great!

Its more than klick one button to start the engine

Agreed. Personally the map I'm really hoping to see expanded is desert online. More inland terrain would be awesome.

A visible runway on that map would also be nice. Right now landing is guesstimating using the cloth markers at both ends, but it's very east to go off the runway on roll out. Taxiing is pretty much impossible if you're not following AI.

MTO is insufficient?

Please, we need a soft (GUI) allowing:
- An easy management of the IL2 1946 Dedicated Server.
- Some script (IL2 DCG) to run.
- The display of statistics online.

IL2 SC 2.02 is able to all above but since the MDS features introduced with 4.10 version (AI planes and moving columns) it is impossible to have stats online.
IL2 FBDj manage MDS features but dont allows IL2 DCG to run.

Thx for your great work.

MTO is different. I feel desert online has an interesting style to it, while MTO's mainland seems featureless by comparison.

Something like this and we can stop almost every request about the desert:

Massive map, but very light to run, and a lot of fun and possibilities in it.

A few months ago I posted an idea for alternate kill markings. Someone from TD sent me a PM suggesting that if I were to make the correct markings to TD standards, they might be able to incorporate them into the game.

The work is done, but I'd prefer not to show it publicly until TD says its O.K. to do so.

Could the TD team please check their PM folder and give me an email address to send my files to?

The actual "mod" I've created changes the default Soviet red star or Luftwaffe "hash mark" kill markings with kill markings used by other nationalities.

Finland: Simple white hash marks.

Note: The Finns also used aircraft silhouettes, but the markings have be generic.

U.S./Commonwealth: Iron crosses for German planes, Italian fasces roundels for Italian planes, Japanese flag or naval ensign for Japanese planes.

Note: Again, there were several variants, but the markings I chose are politically inoffensive and have different shapes for each type of kill.

Japan: Yellow chrysanthemums.

Note: The mum was chosen from a number of different kill markings because of it distinctive shape and color, because it was the most common kill marking variant, and because it was used throughout the Pacific war.

Other Nationalities: Other air forces don't appear to have recorded kill markings on their planes. For these nations, I've provided Roman numerals. For nations where that's not appropriate, the white Finnish hash marks can substitute.

If people have good documentary evidence of kill markings used by nationalities in the game which aren't listed above (e.g., France, Italy), please tell me!

Would be nice, to have some other Tracers like at 2:23 or 3:48 (nice 50cal with smoke) in this video.

Sorry, but the Russian 7,62mm have green tracers..
Would it be difficult, to change tracers?

Those are some nice tracers... I'd love for the smoke effects on the tracers to be affected by real world considerations. Sometimes there was smoke and other times there wasn't.. If I remember right, some of that is how the type of tracer works but some of that was atmospheric conditions as well.

Yeah Russians did and I think still do use green tracer rounds. And yes they look somewhat odd by modern sensibilities (EDIT: And by that I mean... StarWars of course).

Light bombers like SBDs, D3A1's and Ju 87s suffer irrationally high losses from AA because after delivering bombs they attempt to strafe their targets, which for example in case of tanks in senseless. Hopefully this suicidal habit of theirs can be changed.
