ALSO

in regards to the ME410 the game ACES HIGH is adding the ME410, which gives one more reason why it should be added in game...

I know some will say I should know my aircraft better, blah de blah de blah... but I'm sure many of us don't have the time or inclination to memorise the (now) exhaustive list of options.

I play LAN with a friend. And typically our conversion goes like this:

Me: Ok, lets have russian vs german, 1943 aircraft only
friend: Ok
Me: Ok, I'll go in the Yak-3, choose an axis aircraft
friend: Which aircraft are axis? Is this axis?
Me: Don't know
friend: Is this one axis
Me: Not sure

You get the picture.

I know we could exit the server and go into the museum to check, but my idea of small flag & aircraft role icons next to the aircraft designation codes would be extremely helpful and a better way to do things.

one of the main reasons i started to play aviation simulations and ww2 aviation simulations in particular is my interest in ww2 in general and ww2 aviation....one of the BEST things to come from my experiences with games like this (mainly aces high and IL2, and a little WW2OL, among others) is the stuff that i have learned, both on my own and through the forums...

if you are having trouble figuring out what planes go to which country you should do some more research, trust me it will make a world of difference, and you will never stop learning new things trust me...

i know speaking for my self when i was new to this game i was overwhelmed by the amount of planes on the list, compared to many games IL2 has a HUGE plane list, every plane i didnt recognize or have not heard of i would look up and learn what i could about it....

basically just look these things up it will not only make you more efficient at these games but learning history and new things is always good...

I've owned Sturmovik since the original Forgotten Battles (2003), and been playing flight sims in one form or another since F/A-18 Interceptor (at least 1988 ). So please tell me why I need to think twice before playing 1942. Will I endanger somebody's life by not knowing the details of every single aircraft off by heart? Do you really take your games so seriously Pershing, that I have offended you with my lack of knowledge and ludicrous suggestion? If so, I really pity you. There's a saying that goes something like, "If you've got nothing worth saying, don't say it". Maybe you should consider that one before posting next time.

@Whacker Thanks for your response. Trouble is, I don't have the patience to study WWII aircraft. And with the choice available now, it really would be a case of studying. My friend has far less patience than I. For example, he would not sit and play a campaign or coop mission, to much straight flying and waiting around for him. We just like to duel and gloat (mostly after a few beers!) -a tradition since we were both teenagers. But I like to at least setup realistic encounters for us both.

To be honest, compared with other features and functions the developers have added, it seems a simple one to me. I appreciate the ambiguity that you mention, but surely you would just go with country of initial origin and purpose originally intended for (not what they were later adapted to do). If it's multi-role, you have a multi-role icon, or list a couple of icons side by side.

PS. I fly DCS: Black Shark 2. It's one aircraft and learning that is plenty for me.


ok just saw this so im adding it in via an edit.

First of all you wont have to STUDY anything...over time after enough research you will figure it out...american planes generally have one letter usually a P or a B in front of a number (usually 2 digit number)
british planes have names like spitfire and Halifax followed by their MARK (MK)number (MK14 or MK XVI)
german planes are named after the company who makes them...think of the HE111, or the BF109 ME262 FW190 JU 87 those are the main prefixes...


these are things that a normal person after doing some light research from time to time will generally learn or figure out the country a plane is from is generally one of the easier things to figure out using basic knowledge of ww2 aviation...

trust me man if you are playing ww2 aviation simulators chances are you have SOME inherent interest in the subject, surely you are curious about the topic otherwise you wouldnt be here...do your self a favor and look up somethings...because what you are asking for is to be spoon fed information, even with general knowledge (like on my first day playing these simulators), i could figure out what country a plane is from that was before i delved in to the subject of ww2 aviation...dont sell your self short you are capable of learning new things, please just try...

all you have to do is type in the plane name you are confused about and look at wikipedia, ive found it to generally be pretty accurate and if you are ever unsure of what is presented to you in wiki use the bottom to find the sources, or try and confirm what WIKI says on other credible sites...

Of course, you're absolutely right about all of this. My grandfather served as well in the Navy, fortunately his ship class (Fletcher DD) made the original PF sim :D This fact of the matter is, we will never live to see these in game by fighting the man. Our kids might, as the cause is a just one, but we never will. Sometimes, bowing to the man is the only way to get things done quickly.

Why? Do you want to fly a deathtrap, that even unnopposed was a liability to its pilot and carried an offensive load that an enemy would call 'very slightly annoying, but harmless'

Probably two of the worst aircraft ever foisted upon the FAA

Can we have a Gloster Meteor?

A Westland Whirlwind With bombs and cannons?

How about a Westland Lysander and some covert moonlit SOE ops in occupied Europe?

Reggie Mental 04-19-2012 01:11 PM

....And, since it's IL2:1946, can we perhaps have a He162C and D with Hirth S01 engines and 30mm cannons so I can rip up B29s over Berlin? How about a fire extinguisher option like the D0335?

ooh, ooh...Some more Mistel Missions? Bridges at Remagen (Good mission for Arado 234, that) Normandy Beachheads, Mulberry Harbour, anti shipping (take out a battleship!)

...Arado 234 misions over UK, like Op Steinbock Raids in 1944 or low level/high level photo recce missions dodging fighters and flak.

Sry my mistake. I have seem some interesst for the Skua aircraft but it seems like the blueprint do not exist for this AC and that the only thing is that they are trying to build one in Norway that they pulled out from a norwegian fjord. And the reason i like to have this AC in IL-2 is that is a plane who did an crusual role in the beginning of ww2 in north of norway. Also i planning to build an Norwegian mission from that timeperiod. We now have the map for that.:)

SPITACE 04-20-2012 02:33 PM

can team daidalos tell us what they are working on instead of us asking when the 4.12 update is out.:) i am sure they are working on the P36 and p40 cockpits and the rear cockpit of the beaufighter hope i am right.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that they are working on a 4.11 bugfix patch, ie 4.11.1

Is there a posebillety to make the Blackburn Skua?

*** Please fix bombrack on the IAR-81C for update v4.12 !!! ***
 
Please remove "bomb rack" on the IAR-81 heavy fighter, as it never carried this in combat anyways.

Please fix 'radiator' under the nose of the IAR-81C aircraft




PS: IAR aircraft had fire extinguishers on board - (the white intrument that says 'Extinctor Automat') - please simulate this in game
PS: Please add IAR-80A fighter (6 machine guns & reflector gunsight) to game. - This was the most mass produced IAR-80/81 of them all, and is not in game - surprisingly.
