4.10 Support & Bug Reporting

[Pavloun]

Hello,

Many thanks for the great improvements of 4.10, TD. You`re moving the game a great way closer to the reality.

I noticed night enviroment had been reworked as I flew the ILS test mission few times. Now night is much darker then before 4.10, but it seems to be achieveded by overall reduction of brightness.
1.
As it was mentioned in a post before, nav-lights and runway lights are very difficult to see in distance of just few kilometers during darkness, much harder then during daylight. Especially when using wide FOV.
Even though it should be the opposit, during clear night you can see aircraft nav-lighys in 20 km at least, landing lights or runway approach lights even more (just quick estimate).
2.
Cockpit instruments are VERY dim and hard to read even if lit during night.
3.
On-screen messages (throttle, flaps, etc.) tend to blind you with their brightness when the rest of the environment and cockpit is dark.
4.
Even though night is really dark and clear, stars are hard to see.

And the last and maybe least important.
I`d like to ask if B-25 could have woking landing lights.

Sorry for my English

I dont know if this was always this way, but I think I have used the chocks before.

Not confirmed - worked perfectly here with chocks and without.

NEW BUG REPORT

S-80 torpedo boat - front gun only fires forwards even when plane is off to one side. It also fires 14 torps in a few seconds though it only has 2 torp tubes.

I did it again and still doing the same, we must be doing something different.

Make sure invulnerability is OFF, otherwise wierd stuff happens.

Curious if damage model for cargo ships was changed. I'm practicing offline dive bombing with stuka 1x250 kg and 3x250kg. Sometimes I get hits dead center with fireball explosions, but no kill message. There is damage and it smokes, but doesn't sink. Does it take bigger bombs now?

I think I have found a bug in FMB, please excuse me if this is already posted.
In Stationary Ships the Runway objects show the invisible ones as a red square or rectangle - unfortunately they are visible in the mission as well, the moving Ships also have these objects and can be placed with waypoints.

Some of the IL-2 planes do not have radiator damage models and this is a bug. These are the:

Hurri II
Mc.202
Mc.205
Yak (all models)
LaGG-3 (all models)

Some similar planes that have radiator damage models and work correctly are the Hurri I and the Mig-3.

Anyway, radiators are interesting!

Thanks for the reply Casper.

I am unable to get into any state where the aircraft rolls to the left without control input.

There appears to be no regime that causes the aircraft to fly without rolling to the right.

I have tried a range of speeds and power settings as well as 3 different sticks

Can you give the settings for what DT considers Cruise as a basis for futher testing?

I have been using +4 lbs boost and 2650 RPM as the cruise setting based on Spitfire Vb Pilot Notes.

I would be quite happy if I could fly straight at cruise speed, I have no problem with having to use the ailerons to stay straight in other scenarios.

Kind regards

Wedge
