Usually IL-2 aircraft have no ammo belts, for SM.79 we decided to do something new and provide an ammo belt. Of course it cannot be animated in a completely realistic way, but if you shoot at enemy planes it wil look just good.

That's unfortunate but if we put them in the middle of the map than AI will have problems with mountains if player set their flight low. So we had to chose between "boring" scenery and AI crashing all the time.

Also, is the Fokker really so hard to fly? It stalls or snap when using full aileron.

Reports says that it had nasty tendency for wing tip drops.
Quote from Finnish pilot:

"we found soon that it is pleasantly stable when firing. Its behaviour was quite good, but tad some temperament, that could make things hot for unprepared pilot. Stalling without any warning, even in higher speed, could be very surprising for a unexperienced pilot, but most dangerous was landing. Nose pointed high up and tailplane losed effectivness. If the speed dropped too much during approach, you had to have a lot of luck and we really lost couple of planes during landing"

Because we had to make sure, that quick missions work even if you start with 16 AI-planes on 200m altitude. As AI would probably have difficulties in areas with hills and mountains, a relative flat area was chosen to let the things happen.
Its a compromise.


EDIT: FC99 was faster. Good morning!

Yes, Fokker was a nasty plane to fly. Several finnish pilots were killed because of this behaviour. And you probably mean full elevator?

Great patch guys, I apreciate your work very much, but i ahve a few qustions:

1.- I thin with the new patch you could optimized de game for multicores?
2.- Ta-152c turn better, but is to slow, maybe you could fix that.
3.- Ta-152H-1 in the real life have a lebel stabilizer, you could fix that to?

Very well guys I like your jobe

I made a clean install of il2. Patched the the game to 4.08. Downloaded
the English international version from Misson4today.
I made sure the game ran in 4.08 then installed the patch. The game will not
even start to try and run just sits at the desktop screen.
I have the US release of IL2 Sturmovick 1946.

Firstly thanks for the great work in 4.09.

I am in love with the i-16 t6, in particular the exposed wheel wells, great details. ( i did some rata skins a long time ago with exposed wheels and have been waiting for this)

The sm79 damage model needs examining.

I accidentally ran a hurricane wing through the sm79's wing the result being hurricanes wing torn from the root as the sm79 flies along no problems.

I have repeated this several times with the usual loss for the sm79 being a flap. ( no big deal for the flying tank!!)

SM79 was a tough plane but not that tough!

I am so pleased that its not just me that has the stall problem.
On the plus side, I just love the damage model --- which I've now seen from many angles.

What do I do?? I'm running Win7 x64.

Tnx in advance,
