Suggesting to devs

[tbtstt]

Oops! Sorry, I just started a thread to the Devs before I saw this one - apologies!

My request/suggestion is for the unlocking of all the online dependant aircraft (and, ideally, weapons packages) for offline play. I know one or two other games where this has been done (classes etc. being unlocked for offline play) which means that those of us who don't play online so much can access the full contents of the game. For those that do wish to play online though, the challenge of unlocking all the aircraft (and the corresponding Trophies) is still there.

If this could implemented in a forthcoming patch or update it would be great and would really complete the game for me. I love the training mode, but I'd really like the full set of aircraft (especially the Spitfire Mk.XIV!) to play with.

Thanks for your time and an excellent game!

I'd like a free flight mode where I can practice my flying in any unlocked aircraft and map. Should be easy to accomplish.

Also I'd like the option of take-off and landing for every mission. IE. Battle of Britain Scramble!!!!!

Lots of others but they are my main two and would be sooooo easy to encode in a DLC.

Sweet landing!

sure that this has been posted before:

Allow Join in Progress
Also those games should be displayed on the ingame browser.
Whenever you go online, you get the feeling that you are the only person on earth playing this.

More options for online play (on sim mode the option to only allow cockpit view).

+ a way to rearm and fuel up again, maybe with landing on an airstrip during online play!

And PLEASE Fix the Deadzone issues with the Aviator Flight Stick.

Hi

Not sure if you are aware of the problem with the changing a view in a bomber with an xbox controller?

You change into the gunner view but when you go back into cockpit view the plane points to the sky and you have to cycle through back to the gunner, move a little and go back to cockpit to get it working again.

Quite annoying if you are being attacked.

Online:

When you finish a game online you lose all contact with the players?
It leads back to a stats screen but disconnects everyone from the chat etc. Alot of the time you would like to either talk about the match for a couple of minutes or arrange another game.

You can't switch from party mode to game chat whilst in il2, you have to end your party with friends to talk in game chat.

I think it might also help if you can add configurable buttons for the xbox controller. I've completed the single player on simulation with the pad and didnt really have trouble but when it comes to online its just too hard to see the enemy.

I have to right click down , move rudder, view , throttle all at the same time, which I can do but it's not fast enough for online play. Would much rather to have the right stick as a pov for simulation without clicking it down.

Or even have the left click in play for the pov. Think its making it too awkward using the right click.

1) Most obvious, wheres the freakin replay mode guys? If i fly well, i wanna save it and watch it back

2) In training mode you should be able to fly about by yourself

3) It would be good if the cockpit rattles and moves like in the PC version, just to add weight to the thing as the wind and slips streams knock it about.. they were crates after all.....

4) A Co-op mode!!!!

Need more single player missions. And ones that actually let you choose your aircraft and what weapons to take. The single missions for Britain are great, its a real shame that every other theatre has less missions to do. Training mode just doesnt cut it for long term play offline. More single missions per chapter would definately increase the games long term playability.

Best idea yet!!

My thoughts for DLC's,

Axis campaigns,
Free flight mode, maybe modify training mode to include take off's and landings?
Heavy bombers, I know the B17 can be unlocked but what about the lancaster, halifax, stirling etc, and the B24 for the yanks, plus the German FW200 condor?
8th airforce missions flying out of east anglia,
BoB battles over London, scrambling out of Biggin Hill, Redhill, North Weald, Colney etc,
the game NEEDS a Mosquito badly,
historically accurate aeroplane registrations and squadron codes, (Please),

Maybe as add-on expansions,

Pacific Theatre, Zero's, corsairs, bearcats, B29's,
North Africa, theres something about a desert spec MK5 spit with that huge air filter,

Great game, but there are some disappointing inaccuracies on show:

The Battle of Britain:
The Spitfire IIb and the Hurricane II were NEVER used in the Battle of Britain. The Spitfires used were Mk.1, Mk.Ia and Mk.IIa (which all has 8 x .303 machine guns...no cannon) and the Hurricane I (which had 8 .303 machine guns) was used. Spitfire IIb and Hurricane Mk.II didn't apprear until AFTER the BoB.

Given the resources available on the battle, there are no excuses for this!

All RAF Battle of Britain fighters were painted green and brown on top...never grey.

A Hurricane Mk.II would be in grey and green on top...not brown and green.

The Macchi Mc.202 had a 3-bladed propeller...not a 4-bladed propeller.

The aircraft you have listed as a P-51B is actually Mustang I - the RAF name for the P-51A (the A had an Allison engine, as opposed to the Merlin on the B/C/D, and 4 20mm cannon instead of 4 x .50cal machine guns on the B/C and 6 x .50cal machine guns on the D)

If I notice any other errors I will post them up.
