4.12.2 de-bugging

[ElAurens]

The level autopilot does not seem to work on the SB 2M 100, even after remapping the key for it.

Afaik, it worked fine in 4.11. When given the command the entire flight would fly circles until the rejoin was given.

Abort mission in TAB menu seems not to work.

It does create a new vector to home plate originating from the last waypoint reached, but the flight is unable to follow it and uses the pre-planned mission waypoints.

Level autopilot in SB-2 I just tested and it's working 100% fine. I set it up, dialed in some level bombing settings, opened the bomb bay doors, nailed my target...all was good.

5760x1080 doesnt work for me. It just displays the same 1920x1080 image on all 3 screens.

Odd.

I'll try it again tomorrow and see if it works with other aircraft.

Can't understand why I'm having some issues after the patch, as normally IL2 runs like the proverbial sewing machine for me.

Maybe not a new bug, but in all of the Pearl Harbor missions the C-47s have full "Invasion Stripe" markings, which were specific to the ETO on D-Day and the weeks afterwards.

Until mid-1944, the default U.S. C-47 skin should be just generic olive drab.

More to the point, since some of the C-47s appear on Navy and Marine bases, they should actually be in USN/USMC colors - 3-tone blue camo - masquerading as R4Ds.

Additionally, there is a mission for the P-40B listed for the USN, which is a mistake since the Navy never flew that type.

Working on it

Has unlimited power/range even when plane is out of fuel. The ramjets keep on workin and providing unlimited thrust/power.

They burn fuel but slowly(too slowly probably, who knows).

I've turned off .trk in the UI and made .ntrk recordings, and I get the same issues. Horizon view at the start of the recording, and for a minute or more I can only access views in the cockpit or external view of my own aircraft. All view options are turned on, and keystrokes for the different views are assigned.

This seems to be connected to disabling TRK's. As far as I can see after some time everything goes back to normal in track, we'll see if we will do something about it or declare it a feature

Is this a bug, or...is it expected?
If so, I would say this is something like to give us a toy and take the other...

Bug, probably the same which is causing problem described by Aviar.

If you use Taxi to takeoff you can't make side by side takeoff.

The other thing is weird formation flying. I created a mission with 9 Ju 88s taxi-taking off, then flying the vic formation. And each time they collide with each other while creating the formation (I mean no 3 too far forward, even before the no 1, so I eventually ended up with just 6-7 planes in formation). And they also like to drop their bombs early. And I don't mean several dozens of meters, I mean 2-20 km before they reach their target!
I don't know if it's my fault (bad mission making or something) or AI's, but I just can't make them listen to me

Can you post the mission with formation forming problems? Does bombing work OK if you don't use Taxi to takeoff?

Attack waypoint height was set at 500m to allow ai to manuever. skip bombing planes remained ok, it may be related to the attk waypoint but it is synchronized as much as possible with the ships position at the time of attack, ship has waypoints not just 1 at each end.

Please, post the mission.

Yes, it's a bug.

The mission is normally set to dusk conditions and under these conditions none of the P40's will be able to succesfully attack the Me's that perform the ground attack. When set to daylight conditions, the P40's will however attack.

They fail in what way, they don't see enemy or they are not successful while attacking?

The "loiter here" command no longer seems to work.

Fixed for 4.12.1.

Abort mission in TAB menu seems not to work.

It does create a new vector to home plate originating from the last waypoint reached, but the flight is unable to follow it and the pre-planned mission waypoints.

Aborting mission is player's message that he is aborting mission. It is intended to prevent your wingmans to follow you down. It can be issued from whatever position in wing you are so even if you are not the leader you can leave your wing and let them to continue with the mission.

Hi have this bug since 4.11m

Check your Controls setting and verify that mouse is not assigned to Zoom.

Error description:
Wrong visualisation of human death in 4.12
Error explanation:
Each destroyed object from the list 751-761 (people) visually seems like's an explored petrol tank - with the great fire & smoke.
Stability of appearance:
Always in 4.12, never in 4.11
Screenshot of video:
Attached below. Non-edited NTRK-record has been attached in Human_Death.zip archive
PC configuration, programs etc.):
Doesn't improve.

P.S. I hope it is possible to fix.

In FMB, the object viewer (for objects, not other things) displays the objects too high, so that they are partially "cut off" by the top edge of the view screen.

In the list of object names, there are still some objects which aren't given useful names (e.g., Misc Object X rather than, "clothesline," "wood pile" or "wood shed").
