Hello.
Me pleases, what updating 4.10 but why it is not occupied by game improvement is planned? Instead of unnecessary addition of planes.???

Whether you are going to correct problem FM?

Dear DiO,

we for sure care for every aspect of the game.
I for myself am a modeler, who cannot do any FM changing. But I can do model. So guess, what I should do best? Changing FM's? No. I better model and thus you get more planes. Sorry for that.

We use every human capacity, that we have, each one on its/his/hers own working area. Including fixing, tweaking, inventing new stuff and also discussions/descisions about FMs cangings (which is still a hot theme and should not base on one or a few simple oppinions).

You should better wait untill you got 4.10 in your hands (on your PC) and jugde, what was done then.
Its like calling a girl to have a fat bumper, and you only have seen her naked shoulder yet.

hurrah.. today is Thursday

S!

Tomorrow friday with all the updates and all As of FM fixes, maybe TD could take a look in the planes that can fly with overheated engine until they run out of fuel and losing maybe 100km/h from top speed in broken engine situation. These include at least Spitfire Mk.IX 25lbs and FW190A-9..can be more of them.

Could someone list war time radio station names (historically correct). So far I only got these:

Radio Honolulu
Suomen Yleisradio
BBC
Radio Moscow

Probably not hard to guess what these are for...

Magyar Radio Budapest 1 (Hungarian radio broadcast from Budapest)

Here is a link that has an audio of the interval signal (jingle) towards the bottom of the page 1940 vintage.

Or P47 that doesn't overheat at 7 k+ with max engine power... Or P38s engines able to burn forever without EVER setting the fuel tank on fire, which allows to travel for hundreds of kilometers with a burning engine but overall no consequences on the aircraft.

Well done

Here's a gold star

I approximately represent that (!) will be 4.10 in updating.... There there will be nothing interesting.
In FM it is a lot of errors. If you are interested in correction of errors let know.

You speak Russian? At me it is not so good with English...

You can write everything in Russian, we have people who can translate it so if you think that something is wrong with FM just let us know what it is.

I have a few questions (none have been answered ever in the past, but I am not cynical - yet ):

1. Is it possible to do anything about the engine overheat aspect of IL-2?

As far as I know, cylinder head and water temperature are the one and same on radial engines, and that temperature is used to decide when 'overheat' starts. On water cooled inline engines, the oil-out temperature determines the overheat, nothing else. When overheat occurs, a set timer, specific for that plane, starts to count down, after which the engine dies. People exploit this, the timer in particular.

I don't believe a lot of changes are necessary. For example, randomizing the timer, and randomizing the overheat temperature would probably change things a lot. Also, the absolute temperature of the engine could be allowed to influence the timer (and adds another slight random chance of the engine suffering a failiure of various kinds the higher the temperature is).


2. With the arrival of Prop. pitch for individual engines: possible to also toggle prop pitch auto/manual for each engine?

This is something that of course multi-engine planes like the Bf 110 had. More realistic and useful for damage control.


3. Individual prop pitch and individual engine is coming. Also radiator. Is the radiator control individual, or just one axis controls all engines?

Just another thing that is present in engine management. And makes a difference on managing different engines, especially when one is not functioning 100% right (losing coolant/pressure etc).

The Bf 110 for example has separate oil cooler levers on the left side, in front of the throttle and fuel primer levers. They move up and down slowly when the radiator is changed on each engine (but because of IL-2 engine selection behaviour it is not possible/practical for users to have different radiator settings currently, just like with prop pitch not having been practical until patch 4.10). The 110 also has water coolant radiators which are seperate for the engines as well, but they are not used in Il-2. Not sure what radiators are being controlled actually.
