Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[Borsch]

Would it be possible to update the way emblems (RAF circle, German cross, Red Army star, Japanese Red Circle, etc) so that they would no longer look as rough and ugly, but smoother and more "integrated" into the overall look of the plane's appearance? I know that there are mods for this sort of thing, but I would like to see it in default IL2... +its not hard to do

Big thanks for your effort regardless and I'll be waiting anxiously for the patch!

TD,

Impressive list of improvements so far - thanks for the great work.

Is there any plan for new map(s) in 4.10?

Cheers,

DT can you improve the performance in the game? like real multicore support and real imrpove of new vgas?

No. This would mean a complete rearranging of the core engine which is out of our possibilities. Its just too difficult.

Its on our list. Not sure when this will happen though.

Hi Daidalos Team,

like many other devoted users of IL-2 and your updates I want to thank you for the excellent work you guys are doing. Being very interested in the conflict between the Soviet Union and Finland, especially the Fokker D.XXI made my day, fantastic work!

I would like to place two requests to further enhance the simulation of the Finland wars:

Firstly:
Is a new map possible which depicts the area north of the current "Gulf of Finland"-map, more precisely the area North and East of lake Ladoga?

Secondly:
A (AI) Do-17Z that was used from 1942 onwards by the Finnish Air Force.


Of course you are receiving many, many requests, but I hope that my requests are somewhat within the scope of what TD is allowed to realize within Olegs limits and might be considered as a worthwhile addition to the great "Forgotten Battles".

Best regards

Holgersson

Hello guys, when I saw this, I thought it was one of the best steps forward since the QMB was ever created.

Can I ask a question though?

I appreciate that the number could be limited, as putting too many aircraft up, may cause issues for some players, however some of us do have the ability to have a lot of aircraft (128 nice and smooth in FMB) in the air at one time.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have 64 v 64 as a maximum?

Currently I enjoy escorting large bomber groups (50+ aircraft) with 16 Fighter escorts into battle, but this is a pain to set up min FMB.

With the new Maps allowed in QMB, and the ability to have 64 on one side v 64 on the other, at-least you'd be able to have 52 bombers with 14 fighter escort, over Flak fields with oncoming enemy?

32, is still a great start, but doesn't lend itself to large Bomber formation escort.

Is there any chance of 64 v 64, even if it's only an option for those with more powerful machines?

Cheers, MP

Hmm... One of the problems with the default QMB waypoint groups is that they spread out the flights a lot.

I think the new copy and paste functionality in the FMB should make it much easier to set up such large missions.

Anyone thought of contacting UberDemon? UDQMG has a lot of features that could be used for inspiration or further developed/improved upon.

Oh thank god! Please fix the RAF roundel colours as well

I know it isn't a marking simulator but this would be much improved and we know with Mat Manager that a lot is possible!

This is the exact reason I thought of this, as the UD Mission Generator could have lots of aircraft, without any problems, so I wonder if they TD could incorporate some of his know-how to make large formations possible?

I just don't get on with FMB
