TD have to get approval from 1C:Maddox over this sort of thing. It isn't up to them. We should be grateful that they are being allowed to do what they are, not asking for more where there may be a possible conflict of interest.

Any chance of getting the option to load the US Pacific Theater belting of 1-1-1 (tracer/AP/Incendiary) added as an option for the 0.50 cal.

Ta 152 wing fuel tanks
 

jsut wondering if any consideration has been given to correcting the Ta 152H1, giving it a centreline drop tank and unprotected wing fuel bags :D

from Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_152

Fuel capacity was 595 L (157 US gal) for the H-0 model, with the option of a 300 L (80 US gal) drop tank on the centerline. The H-1 model carried an additional 454 L (120 US gal) of fuel in six unprotected bag tanks in the wings; typically, one of these tanks was used to hold the MW 50 methanol-water mixture and another for GM-1 nitrous oxide. The H-1 could also carry a 300 L (80 US gal) underbelly drop tank.

Simulation Wrapper / Unattended run
 

Hi,
I fear my question is a bit off topic but this thread is the best I could find for it.
I am thinking on a way to make simulation runs on a given coop-mission to determine whether the mission is balanced or not (resp. how unbalanced it is).
My first approach is a kind of wrapper script that starts IL-2 with maximum time acceleration, waits till IL-2 ends, gathers the mission result out of eventlog.lst and starts IL-2 over again for the next run. After that, the statistical evaluation of the gathered data is done (e.g. BLUE won the mission xx.xx% of the time, with an average of y% for RED and z% for RED planes lost; something like that...).
Now my question: Are there (undocumented?!) command line options or some kind of config file to make IL-2 start a given mission with all-AI-pilots, maximum time acceleration (perhaps even more than 8x) and end after a given (in-game) time?
Perhaps there are some other ways to realize what I am thinking of so feel free to make other suggestions.
Thanks for your time and thoughts,
Hellfire

Maybe TD could include Re 2001 and 2005 too...

Having the rear gunner seat available in the Beaufighter?

I know you don't want to added 6DOF for trackir but would it be possible to add Z (zoom) profile to the game, It would make easier to zoom in on the instrument, help with formation flying and zooming in on aircraft to identify easier with out having to us a switch .

i read this idea in the RiseOfFlight forum.

how's about a map APP for iPhone/Touch/Pad.
with all official il2 maps and some features like marking points (normal waypoint, target and so on) that can be set on the map.
:D

I am shure it's been mentioned before, but then it can't be mentioned often enough:

LET THE REAR GUNNER CALL OUT CONTACTS !!!

Something like "Enemy near!"
Later the direction could be added :-D

+ 1000000000000000000

Windscreens were invented to make us see MORE (on the sides), NOT LESS (on the top). Please please update IL2 in tune with the modern times where wide-screens are progressively more and more available...

It is an issue that affects a very wide audience, some of whom are not even aware of the issue (ie that they are loosing top part of an image if they do not play with black borders)... Once people are shown the difference, it is pretty unanimous that this issue is pretty huge...

I feel like starting a petition or something:)
