Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

S!

Wasn't Rudel credited for over 70 barges/boats destroyed with his "Stuka with long sticks" as Russians called him. That would indicate there was more than one instance attacking them with the 37mm cannons. In his book he tells about this "boat hunt" quite well.

Will TD include toe brake function to separately left and right? Now it only affects both brakes with one brake pedal, if you have one like on CH Pro Pedals. Sure not a show stopper, but a good feature to have giving more control.

Agree with that mate. I have the rudder pedals for the X-52 and one toe pedal is wasted

I was using the phrase "one-time" on a more global scale. The number of missions flown against soviet landings in the Kuban delta in these nutshells is insanely small when compared to the anti-tank ops flown throughout the last two years of the conflict.

You mean, only one pedal is definable to breaks?

You can assign only one axis to brakes via GUI, or multiple axis if you manually edit file of controls. However, with multiple axis assigned to brakes, the last axis, whose value has been changed, has effect on brakes. I.e., if you press both pedals fully and then release one of them, brakes will be released too.

As for differential braking, some planes had separate brake pedals and others had single brake lever and differential braking was achieved by moving pedals like using ruder.

S!

As Zaltysz said. Would be great if we could assign left and right toe brake. csThor, got it They flew over the swamps or area with high grass or something hunting the boats. I recommend reading Walter Wolfrum's just released book of his life, he also refers to Rudel and not in a very positive way mostly even he acknowledges his achievements.

Yes, only one pedal is definable to breaks in game.

Which is historically CORRECT for most of the aircraft in game.

Allowing Cessna style differential braking for all aircraft would not be historical, though of course a FEW major aircraft modeled DID have the two toe brakes, it was a new innovation at the time and only appeared on a few aircraft.

Ideally of course we should have toe brakes for the aircraft that had them historically and a single brake control for the rest. that however is probably unnecessarily complex.

This is by no means a priority request but it does appear that there are a few aircraft that are incorrectly armed. There may be good reasons for this but I wanted to pose the question.

My focus is on the Yak-9UT which there is unfortunately not very many resources out there on. The in-game version has a pair of ShVAK 20mm cannons in the nose and a single 37mm cannon in the hub mount which IL-2 Compare lists as Sh37ki. Although difficult to track details... we *think* that the correct armament should be two B-20S cannons in the nose (instead of the ShVAK) and one NS-23 cannon in the hub mount.

The discussion that we had was here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=17554

Also that indicates that there are a number of other types with incorrect armament. The Ki-43-II has Browning .50cals when they probably should be the same Ho103 as in the Ki-61 and Ki-100. The J2M3 and M5 aren't quite right either.

I didn't know some of this until just recently. References difficult but some are probably more obvious than others.

If it's possible, it should be attempted IMHO. Not top priority, but someday in another patch?
