Ideas for the next patches...

[gooney]

Just a few feed-backs, take it as it is: just ideas...
1) We could image a new game mode dedicated to air race:
No weapon selectionable, fine fuel level tuning, air start or ground start implementation...
2) Use3Renders in conf.ini modified so that we can use up to date screens (not only old fashioned 4/3 screens)

you mean 4:3 monitors or what?

to me on 16:9 il2 works fine... if i understand you correctly... but may be not) correct me if i wrong

[gooney]

Today use3render lets you use 3 monitors (or projectors) to have a horizontal field of view of 270° but only if they are 4:3 monitors.

aaahhh... that is some kind news for me... i never try to use more than one)

Ideas for next patch eh.. ok.

1. GRASS. Real looking GRASS, with on/off option for the whiners with 20 year old computers running Win98 & 128mb video card.

2. Able to put real GLOSS on aircraft. The Germans spent a lot of time waxing up their mount so they'd be nice and shiny before getting shot down.

3. Overhauled lighting system, cause you know, it sucks. Drop tanks brighter than wing tops, that kinda alternate universe stuff.

Thanks.

Thanks.

dont know about rest .. but this is more problematic ... il2 1946 with default render have old shaders .. only water use some effects from DX9 ... all other stuff is DX8 or 7...

it's need a lot of work from code specialist ...

Do you have coders that can do AI? Because what's the point of being a wing commander when as soon as other elements in my group see enemy aircraft, they automatically break formation & attack, it should be my decision to engage/flee. Also, once they suffer critical hits (like oil/radiator/engine) they should automatically head to the closest friendly airfield, or if the math says they can't make it (especially over water) bail out after they can go as far as they can while still at sufficient altitude, & not keep attacking at FULL THROTTLE while they're on fire haha. Every pilot notes handbook tells you to bail.
MErry CHristmas!

From testing some planes in 4.13.4 (still scared 4.14 will blow up my PC )

Bf109G-6/AS and Bf109G-10 seem to have swapped engines
The gauge engine pressures of the 109G-10 seem to be of DB605AS and low alt speed = 109G-6 and has great 9000m pressure ala 605AS.
The 109G-6/AS has pressures similar to 109K (DB605D), and poorer 9000m pressure than AS.

The Zero A6M5c 52c and A6M7 62 says they have Water-Injection, but this was certainly not standard for these models. Other wise performance is about right.

The A6M7 63 (assume it is a il2:1946 hot plane) could have water injection but does not. Boost should also be slightly upped to simulate water injection power effect? or some other way? for 250-300mm.

Weights of A6M5c, A6M7's probably too light.

Ki-43-II kai tests with identical climb, top speed and acceleration as K-43-II, it should have ~30hp base hp added.

Ki-43-I flying weight is too light by 200kg. Many data repeats over-light values of early Ki-43-I without full war equipment.

P40E is incorrectly faster at 6000m than P40M!

Ki84 shows 600mm boost on gauge! 500mm was actual max. boost.

Would be happy to work with TD to fix these

Just another thought.

While in mission, you can use the console command tod to change the time of day to whatever you want.

Could a command be added to change the weather?
