PS: Just an image guys!!!!
PS2: Are we there yet???:grin:

HAHAHA! That sacred feminine!!! Thats all great! Thanks! XD

I'm also wondering if the pilot second from the left is holding something in his hands.

Well, he HAS been standing there for a while :D

Guess, the others are already done then... and he lost (or won, just how you want to look at it). :D


Seriously, I am curious, if you can name their nations?

English German Soviet US Japanese?

BTW Caspar you re distractin´us from our main goal: Are we there yet!!!!:grin::grin:

I think you're right, but English and U.S. might be reversed depending on the type of flying gear. Certainly the Axis pilots are quite distinctive, with the Luftwaffe riding pants and the Japanese katana.

Your eye is sharp! Guess you get the 100points. :)

And no, not THERE yet. As you may have noticed, I try to entertain the crowd.
Its not much left though. A handfull of things. But its ike with the last piece of the cake - you have a hard time to eat it, if you got all the other pieces already.

OMG there are FOURTEEN birds there actually, and that means the patch is coming out in two weeks!!! O.O

ROFLMAO!!! Itr is so funny that.. most of the newcomers here have no idea about the full meaning of two weeks.. be sure.. ;) :)

:-P:cool::evil::rolleyes::grin::grin:

Ah really? I mean, two days are gone already, but there are still 14 birds... :P

Have to watch them really closely... they are crafty those birds :cool:

Spitfire made of a wood... ;)

Don't forget the bouncing .50cals kill tigers :D

I m not a newcomer but didn t hear about all the things above...they re from ubizoo right? Could you explain to us?
The wood made plane discusion was about the Hurri not the spit IIRC.
Sorry for the OT but, it s all about "enterteinig the crow" :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::g rin::grin:

LMAO, that bouncing .50 cal thing was in the printed manual for the first MS Combat Flight Simulator. I remember reading that like it was yesterday, lmao!!!

There is a certain member, I believe XylonX who proposed that Oleg Maddox make a wooden Spitfire. My guess is that the illustration he posted had the interior colors as brown instead of British grey-green which caused confusion.

Oleg said something like, "Close that book and never open again (in somewhat broken Rusglish)".

I know with 99% certainty that XylonX did say "Oleg Maddox why spitfire not have TUBE LAUCHER (sic)".

More lols ensued.

Superman twirling boulders in space... ;)

No no... it was definitely about the Spitfire. Oleg wrote that the fellow should close the book that he read it in and never open again. This random guy on the forum was complaining about how the Spitfire made of wood was not as tough as the Russian made of wood aircraft. It was a hilarious discussion!

You made my day

:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:


please keep it coming!!!



PS: Caspar, a lil bird tell me that DT is working in a night figther (not an axis one) is that true??? If I have to kill that birdie just let me know. His life is in your hands.

OoooOooOooOOOOOoooOooOoooooooo

I wouldn't say, 'kill him', he maybe is just singing the wrong song! Just now, DT is not working on a non-axis night fighter plane (DT is currently busy almost exclusively with putting 4.12 into the box). But maybe a single member is doing this in a private manner, as it happend a few times already and plans to surprise us all together.

However, if nightfighter scenario gets more into shape, it will probably be a bit one-sided without a proper allied counterpart to Bf110G-4 and such.
Best candidate would be the Mosquito or the Beaufighter, wasn't it?

Thanks for your answer Caspar. The lil bird told me something about a lady thath lost her husband.

I had to kill him.

Mosquito would be the more popular and prolific night fighter. The Beaufighter was very successful early on but the Mosquito had more performance potential.

Whenever you read about Allied night-fighter kills over Europe it's definitely the Mosquito that was involved.

Unfortunately this one is guarded by many fiery dragons... ehm... lawyers of company which was cursed many times yet the curse still does not work.

Oppsssss you´ re right about it dFrog...but that explains Caspar answer. I must resusitate my birdie. He was telling the truth, partially at least.
And agree, the Mosquito would be the best choice.

I have it on good authority from impeccable sources: the janitors son in laws ex girlfriends neice who works at wendys posted a retweet on facebook from linked in that; according to highly placed officials in the Turkish embassy in Lichtenstein that the patch will be released on the 1st of april, unless conditions in the ongoing negotiations with an undisclosed seasoned precious metal buyer degrade to the point of excluding inner allied cooperation in the regional spectrum. A keen analysis of the strucutral interface revealed a flaw in the logisitcal flow process, hence the restructured portfolio. However after quick consultation with the nieces dental hygenist who has dated ms west carolina, the dog groomers therapist concluded that the 1st of april is the most probable course of action..

Thanks for that clarification, Stugumby.

... in plan on allied side NF is Mossi with radar type MKIV.
Beaufighter no.

I'll pile onto the people asking for the Mosquito. In terms of numbers built, successful use in the role, etc., it was a very important night fighter type, although it's more than a match for the Bf-110G-4 NJ.

If you want a U.S. type based on planes already in the game, you could include the P-70 Havoc, the F4U-2 (or F4U-4N) or the P-38M.

The Soviets could use the Pe-3 or Yak-9 nightfighter variants. The Italians could use the Re.2001 CN.

If you wanted to make the Luftwhiners squeal with delight, you could consider adding the Heinkel He-219 Uhu to the game. If you're just wanting to do conversions of existing planes, the Bf-109 and Ju-88 NJ variants would make solid mates to the Bf-110.

Sadly, the P-61 Black Widow, the one night fighter that every U.S. player wants will never be in the game. Damn you Northrop Grumman!

Well, not in the stock game at least. P61A and P61B are in HSFX6.

well, if we have hte mossie he will have multiple preys. He111 Ju 88 and surely He177. Instead of it, a Luftwaffe NF will have only Wellington and enemy NF. There is a British four engined bomber planned for 4.13 /4.14??

Do-217 is far more important in that role than He-111 and Ju-88.

And if there will be night fighters in the game, Ju-88 is a must have. Primarily a C6, and maybe a G variant. In fact, the C6 alone is more important than the Me-110G4, more than 2500 built.

Agree, even Do 17/217 NF versions would be great. But my point is that those birds will need enemy bombers to kill. At early war, there are Blems and the wimpy coming in 4.12. For medium late / war scenery we need 4 engined bombers. Still we have Mosquito, a great pathfinder.

A Lancaster or a Halifax are more than possible... just a matter of modelling :D

Guys, all of you still 4.12 fill a box, or already on it a ribbon you tie? :roll:
Forgive for my English :oops:

What about RAF Liberators from 205 Group? There were plenty of them in the skies of central/eastern/southern Europe towards the end of the war (September 1944 to May1945)... :)

EDIT: I was referring to the Mk. VI and later versions. Earlier variants were available in the MTO as early as 1942.

And silence...
DT, you kill us the silence..

:mrgreen:

Just for fun, when the patch is coming??? :grin:

I believe the answer is purple :)

I found that in another forum (FSX ORBX) :

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...jpg?1318992465

You're all wrong :)

The answer is 42 to all questions :grin:

Yes. 42 is right answer for all question in universe. (c) The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Dear DT, please say 01.04.2013 right date or wrong?
Best regards, GROHOT

Something between... I'd say, closing the lid.

Thats cool sitting here and playing patiently 4.11

Damn there is still some live in this old lady ;-)

You guys rock!!!

I wouldn't say "old". Maybe it's best referred as "mature"?

They released a patch to CoD, maybe 4.12 is not far away?

Speaking of which, once we finally get the B-24D, it would be amazingly cool to have "Carpetbagger" (night spy and clandestine air cargo drop) and Coastal Command ASW variants.

Oceanic Wing Mod Team did at least one model for the Lancaster, along with a lot of other goodies for IL2 (Commonwealth Boomerang, Westland Whirlwind) which looked to be well along.

Unfortunately, some or all of their work was destroyed or derailed by the 2010 New Zealand earthquakes. I'm not sure that we'll ever see the fruits of their labor.

View the Probably-Vaporware here:

http://www.oceanicwing.com/il2_projects.html

OW never contacted DT. Boomerang is in DT archive too (original model in early stage at lod0). Whirlwind can be interesting ...
and Lancaster by OW was higher poly what I remember, reworked from other game. Not direct IL2 quality there.

When is the readme file ready?

It's ready now, but we other forum members took a vote and decided that YOU may not have it! ;-)

Cloyd

Yup. Got mine already. Very cool stuff coming in v4.12, much of which hasn't yet been revealed by DT.

Mwahahaha!

Just love the spirit of this community! We're all waiting impatiently for 4.12. But we can have a laugh at the same time!

Exactly! :)

Impatient?

Me, the Curiss fan boy?

Just sitting here calmly waiting for my Hawk 75.

NO problem at all. Just sitting here waiting for my Hawk 75.

Calmly.

Waiting.

Hawk 75...




GIVE ME MY HAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*AHEM*



Ok, that's better...

Here's a little something to hold you over:

[youtube]52x1gnRtB-8[/youtube]

Little sneak peak to 4.13 - only for calmly waiting H.75 lovers:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68344843/lantern3.jpg
(yes, I know, the reticle is still wrong, it'll have the correct one)

Thanks.

Such an elegant little aeroplane.

I wish there was one flying on our side of the Atlantic.

What???

4.13 sneak peak???

Where is 4.12??????????????

Oh please don't tell me the 75 has been pushed back.

:(

That would suck...

...at least a flyable SB2 is coming, though. Been waiting for a flyable SB2 for nearly a decade now. I'm as stoked about that as I am the 75.

Any Curtiss is better than no Curtiss.

Well, maybe not the Seamew...

:-P

Nahhh, don't worry, the french ones will come in 4.13 - right now, we have the finnish ones only.

The first thing you do after 4.12 comes out is...

1) Load up the Hawk 75 in the QMB
2) Play my Hawk 75 campaign for the Finnish Air Force and get at least to mission 5 where the squadron fully converts to the Hawk.
3) ENJOY! :D

:cool:

Heh.

Not before he flies my Winter War and AG North campaign, buddy.

...if I ever actually finish it, that is.

Excellent as always

OMG!!!
Beauty work!!!

P.S.: One man from Kiev (aka JG601_Rommel) wrote about content for 4.13 or maybe 4.14.
He wrote about new plane for France and Japan, he right, or I can kill him?:confused:

This is taking longer than the patch of a game I play...

It could be real but kill him...he s a snitch :grin:

PS: link?

Always pleased to see and hear news of the original

Well... probably. What will you eat at lunch in 127 days? :rolleyes:

He not snitch. He - spy! :grin:

This one post: http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthrea...=1#post1981444

I usually eat lunch at work. And often for lunch eat meat grilled on French recipe.

And you?

I don't know. I hope, I will have anything for lunch then... or coffee at least... :P

Can we have another preview of 4.12m?

It's hard to wait without news :(

So....what s the weather like in....lets say...Moscow today? Is there any chance of patch in the horizon?

53°53'36.09"N
11°28'1.42"E

-3°C to 2°C
Blue sky.

In case of the patch its still a little bit cloudy.

I told you that I love you Caspar? `cos I do!:grin::grin::grin::grin:

I get the impression that "closing the lid" on this patch is akin to packing ten pounds of potatoes in a five pound bag.

Its more like fiddeling with the tomatoes, that just won't stay in the Big Mac (Quarter Pounder), while we are pressing it together, so you can eat it without any problem. :D

Hell, what a metaphoric day...

Ok, made a few screenshots, just for your waiting:

And a few more:

Caspar you are Santa, little Santa!!!
Halliluya!!!
Thank you for screenshot, tonight I be dreaming about patch:-)

P.S.:And I don't kill Rommel...

P.S.2: 55.729907, 37.226583 - There is still a long way from the development team.

Pro tips : Eat it upside down ;)

Oh My God! stop! Don't! No More Gun Shoots!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO

She is already is on fire!!

Ah sorry! Guess, there will be a revenge. ;)

Caspar, you sir are my hero.

;)

Is the Hawk 75 external model the same as the current AI aircraft?

Hey Caspar, can you give any comment as to whether triple monitor resolutions will now be supported? (please!) Thank you!

thx for the pictures :)

PS: Where are the new smoke? I just see fire :?

Or it's me???

Such as??? :P

Quick, celebrate 100 pages with a screenshot frenzy. Go on!!!

:)

Hm, I don't know that for sure, but I guess, yes. Why do you ask?

As we are still on Hawks... (AI only for now):

Wel... I'm not the right guy to be asked, but I guess, the answer is 'no' - at least not more than it was before. We added a different, optional FoV for widescreen monitors and changed the user interface accordingly, but thats all. In fact, there are a lot of scientific and complicated details in the doing of our programmers, that I never understood, but triple monitor setups where not discussed.

Possible resolutions now are read out of the OS video cards settings and are choosable from in game menue. Many of the conf.ini settings have been taken to the GUI so you mostly don't need to edit that file anymore.

Well, its you. :) Particle effects are sometimes hard to catch on screenshots.
