Aviar, i dont have that with my game, maybe graphics driver issue...?

Check it again in the FMB with stationary aircraft. Floating helmets are there, indeed.

Not a big issue (and already reported for 4.11), but the Mc.200 3 has a 'ghost' mirror only visible in external view.

Same mirage, but with another PC, video card and drivers.

May be can we name this illusion a bug.

Hi!
I'm not sure if it's a bug, but the BRS-132 (russian rockets) seems to do no damage to ships. I fired over 20 rockets at the ship close to the airbase in the solomons map, but it did not sink.
The RS-132, ROFS-132 and M-13 can sink it in a few hits.
There is also a bug in the first russian P-47 mission(single missions\USSR\P-47\P-47 N1). The torpedo bombers that are supposed to attack the german convoy spawn underwater.

I just noticed some problems in the manifold pressure gauge of some airplanes like the P-38 Lightning. When the engine is off the Manifold Pressure gauge shows exactly the outside pressure, but the problems appears when the engines are working at 0% of thrust, the needles should show no more than 12 or 15 inches of mercury, instead of that the needles show 30 inches of mercury.

You can compare that with the B-25 Mitchel that shows at 0% of thrust 10 or 11 inches of mercury.

I hope this issue can be solved soon.

Thank you very much.

Its been like that awhile, I used to use the same flak for both sides (Russian) in our squad campaigns in the end to stop biased accusations about red v blue flak efficiency.

If it was a placebo effect I'm not sure but when I used the Russian flak there were complaints from both team pilots, using German flak there were no complaints from the mud movers, and minimal from other pilots.

All ok here Nvidia latest driver the only ac with the rear gunner helmet problem is the IL-2M, 1942 (later series)

Although it not really a "big" problem

The aircraft are spawning at the water base next to the airfield, I switched runway ends and the missions ok now, I also bought the flight time (removed the delay) to start at the mission beginning for better timing.

Mission attached in case you haven't adjusted it yourself.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've read somewhere that pilot and crew are part of the model. So if one part of the gunner (the helmet) appears in a plane which is ripped of its crew, it's unlikely a driver issue, isn't it?

(I have and old M Radeon card with the latest drivers; the plane is a Russian stationary on the Kiev map)

EDIT: 2nd and 3rd image shows a stationary and a normal plane side by side on the Bessarabia map.

What happened to Kates? This mission worked perfectly under 4.11 but after I installed 4.12.1 Kates just won't lose altitude before attack ignoring the waipoints' altitudes!
Can anyone check this and tell me what's wrong this time, thanks!

Just re-tested, the only ac with the problem is the IL-2M, 1942 (later series)

Then check the 1942 M early series too. Both are affected on my PC.

Thanks!
It's amazing to see this game getting so much support seven years after its release.
