Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY on IL2 Authorized Addons

You dont get my point...if i have sliding trim, I can move it quickly to an approximately trimmed position, because I know how much force I have on the stick and I´m used to the trimming system. Here in il2 if you dont have axis for trim, it takes longer time to hold the button. maybe it would be better to have increments...like I could estimate I will need five presses of a button. That would be also realistic and quicker

Also, the rate at which trim can be applied is deliberately limited in the sim, as in early versions, people were using 'trim on a slider' to enhance manouverability. Yes, out-of-trim flight makes dogfighting difficult, but everyone has the same problems...

If you have IL-2 set up to use the keyboard for trim, it should work that way anyway. Pressing a key repeatedly is the best way to move trim to a known position, e.g. for takeoff. Holding it down is very hit-and-miss except in the rare cases where the aircraft has a working trim position indicator, like the Mosquito (all axes) or the Spitfire (elevator only) for example.

I didnt know it works also this way. Thanks

Yes, the Duck would be a nice plane to add to IL-2. The only problem is that it was made by Grumman. As TD have already stated, legal dificulties mean they can't do any Grumman aircraft...

I'm not sure I'd quite call it beautiful. Interesting, yes, but beautiful?

I think I have posted this elsewhere recently

It would be very useful if the smoke color could be toggled between white red and blue. This would make great aerobatic displays and screen shots.

This could be controlled by hitting the smoke key. First time gives white smoke then hit it again to change to red smoke and once more for blue smoke.

How about Lockheed Harpoon instead of the Duck?
