Any 416 news?
 

Havent heard anything in a while, was just wondering if 416 is still in development? Looking forward to flying the DC-3/LI-2.

I'll be happy when I can build missions with moving ships in the mission again.... Instead of having to build the missions in an older version and then transferring the whole file to 4.15.1

I was asking that question privately myself the other week because I couldn't find anything recent from DT anywhere on the internet, and I was shown an aviaskins public discussion thread where DT is trialling a rebuilt graphics library for the old '1946'! I was also reassured that Sita is still around, despite his silence in the forums, so that's great!

I don't know any more, except _1SMV_Gitano is progressing new maps and map fixes. What will actually be ready for inclusion in the next patch I have no idea, but at least it shows that the game is indeed still in development! :cool:

Regarding the ships (deep water) bug, I did some testing on this with _1SMV_Gitano and he was able to identify the cause of this problem. I can't say if the fix will be included in the next patch or not, but I certainly hope so!

Sounds good. Thank you for the information.

Hello,

I cannot add much to what JacksonsGhost said becaus I haven't been in the touch with the others lately.

What I can say is that I feel uncomfortable with some of the changes to the core game but yt2, DT's main programmer, seems insensitive to any appeal in this regard.
I had also pointed out to him that, in the last release version, the water bug was not fixed but again no reaction at all.

I don't know what else is in development, The C-47 family was in an advanced stage, and very promising, but I haven't heard anything on this either.

omg
 

they are trying out a new graphics library? :grin:

havent heard or seen anything, any one got any info??

I took a look at the Aviaskins forums. Sita, yt2 and others were still actively testing the graphics improvements in March, but that's the last discussion I can find on it.

I guess things are still progressing, but if someone from DT wants to add more I'd be happy to hear it.

It is much more than graphics. What is being proposed at Aviaskins it is a completely new version based on the recent java (not the old 1.3), with different class structure, maps, textures and not compatible with previous versions.

Il2 1946 is by far the best sim and deserves (hopefully) smooth, trouble-free and classy improvement.

Very good news!
