Nice thread kittle Way over due
The work being done by Team Diablos seems to go UN-appreciated at times. I for one what eagerly for there next work. I have only one complaint that is off set by the many many positive improvements with each patch. It is hard to beleave that IL2 is over 11 years old and We have such a great Team creating improvements,for the IL2 community,to this old Sim. And all in 2 weeks Amazing

I for one am truly grateful for all the hard work and dedication

LOL, agreed!

That's the reason I created this thread. A lot of 'constructive criticism' gets thrown around after a patch is released with the bugs and what not. I felt those guys needed to see the good things we had to say about their work. What better place then here on their forum area to do so! I myself, I am happy with all of it. The F4U seems a little underpowered, but I am no FM expert and have never flown a real corsair (I have looked in the pit of one in real life though!) so my opinion is just that, an opinion. I will do what I can to find bugs and provide them what they need to eliminate them.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but if you choose the British Corsair Mk.I and choose the USN, USMC, or USAAF as the country you get a very nice navy/marine corp skin to go along with it. A 'stock' bird cage USN corsair, I love it!!!

The new AI is kicking my but all over the place, and I am loving every second of it. Beware that Ki-45, she can maneuver for a heavy fighter.

I agree kittle
Sometimes just a thank you works but that isint even enough for what TD are still doing for IL2.
Excellent thread Thanks for starting it

I just got my 4.11+hotfix downloaded and been reading up on many topics on the boards all day and I can't wait to climb in the cockpit.

Adding 6DoF after so many years of "never gonna happen" is AWESOME

I've been a TrackIR enthusiast for many years, and getting this added to my favorite WWII sim is the BEST NEWS EVER!!

Many many many cudos to Daidalos Team for their continued enthusiasm to sustaining the work in keeping the patches rolling out for IL-2!!

May have to invest in some form of programmable control panel to work the prop-pitch in a more realistic fashion now that it has a stronger effect on engine performance.

Typed word cannot express my genuine excitement with IL-2's continued growth - Thanks again Daidalos Team !!

[Ventura]

There are quite a few positive things that I've noticed that are very subtle and very numerous besides whats in the readme.

Very nicely done TD!

[Kittle]

Yes there is Ventura. I am still thrilled that a default USN skin was included for the birdcage british Corsair Mk.I Really unexpected little treat there. Certainly shows the kind of attention to detail that TD shows to our beloved sim. Never in the history of flight simulation has this kind of development been promoted by the original creators. Once the next generation appears, older sims fall by the side of the road, but not IL2, thanks to TD!!!

Yesterday I have flown a sortie with a 17 minute! lasting dogfight in my newly started campaign, a fight of 6 mig3u vs 8 E4s, and I honestly say that AI is amazing , after the advantage in the fight shifted towards the Emils the remaining Migs buggered off leaving me behind (covards ) , but the resulting fight was increadible , with a handfull of ammo my only chance was to hit every remaining four emils engine to ever get out of there alive (absolutely no clouds that day), and I did just that , but failed to get one who was much better flier (veteran AI ) the other ones where pretty easy to get.

Then my ammo went out and after he passed me I turned directly into the sun full throttle for as long as I could.....


... and he lost me and I could get back to base, this all was as intense as some more dedicated online fighting I remember, and all that while managing a damaged plane with g-limits and keeping the engine cool, most incredible !

The best version ever.


P.S.: my offline flying started to die when the "magic 6 o clock break away" was introduced into the AI , most frustrating addition , I think it was someday after Pacific Fighters, I simply hated it with all my guts , now its gone , thanks to team Daidalos !!!

Again, thank you gentlemen. I guess we will have to work even harder now to make 4.12 comparable to 4.11.

Blackjack, thanks for sharing your experience. Good read and great fight!

In another post I raved about how good the new German Eastern Front skins looked, and someone from TD replied, "You're missing something ".

I had no idea what he meant by that. I checked out the Russian skins, but they were the same as they were before, which is a good thing, BTW. They still look great. Later I forgot about the comment altogether.

Then I started setting up QMB missions in the MTO map.

To my surprise, the default skins on German aircraft (the ones appropriate to that theater, BTW. No BF-109 K-14s in Lybia...) change to Mediterranean tan, with the white theater markings! I was expecting this sort of change for Finnish and Allied aircraft as the clock ticks in their respective theaters, but the German Med schemes took me completely by surprise.

I also noticed that when setting up a quick mission in the Fw-190A4, it's scheme changed depending on which map you fly. Splintered/mottled two tone green with yellow theater markings over Russia, or two-tone RLM grey over other maps, with a white theater band over North Africa.

I continue to discover new things with the patch. Yet moar cool elements introduced.
