Patch 4.10 - Development Updates by Daidalos Team

[swiss]

May I borrow Oleg's words?

"Everything is pretty much done and ready, they're just busy with some bugfixing."


Sorry, just couldn't resist. No offense.

In my opinion, 4.10 patch will include too many new changes and improvements at the same time (new planes, new navigation systems, new controls, new weapons, MDS...etc)

Maybe a release on 2 parts (4.10.a & 4.10b) will be more easy for developers and also for people to learn those new features slowly....

No please, too much versions online. Make a 4.10 and make it good. We are not in a hurry.

Actually I would like to get it before the release of SoW - after the release I really don't need it anymore, and those Il2 occupied bits will finally be freed.

This leaves two options, and one of them is more desirable than the other.

I will be flying both. IL2 is still a great sim, with a lot of fun, maps, missions. But mabye in 2 years or more from now, when new campains, airplanes, maps and a lot of stuf is out, it will total dominate and have more than IL2 can offer, it will be gone. Who know?


Cheers and keep up the good working.

People say the same with very famous second parts of great games. -"I will erase IL2 when BoB appears, blah blah blah". But after some times they told -"I am going to reinstall IL2".

The Neverwinter Comunity (NWN) was waiting like the holy grial the NWN2, and was so BAD that the hole online community (NWN) was wipe out. In BoB, Oleg is thinking too much on third parties and make game profitable (and nobody can blame him!). But Il2 was all about community and free online play.

So, everybody stay relax. What we have NOW is IL2 4.09m. And it's GREAT. Hundrews of planes, weapon combos and maps. And people correcting the planes to make then historical!

Our King is IL2 4.09 + *censored*. So everybody calm down. We have nothing yet but the IL2 reality.

God bless 4.10, no matter when it comes.

good words SG1_Gunkan! I agree with you!

I guess SoW will be modable after a few month after release and online play will be hopefully also for free. So basicly it will be like it was with il2 at the beginning.

The only change might be that we will have a more split up SoW online play in the future due to many nonfree 3th party developed stuff.

People were sometimes angry about all the different versions of il2 in the past, even if new versions were for free (like big patches). This will be even more in the future with SoW i guess! Let's hope (and buy SoW when its out) that oleg and team will make enough benefit with SoW that he will be able to develop stuff for SoW by himself.

Better for him, better for us!


I personally like 4.10 be out when its ready and not when the whining is at its top!

Just release it... and frankly if some of the issues like the ammo belting on the American planes and the known length issue on the Mustang are fixed I might just remain mod free... Although as I have always said in many ways I prefer some of the more functional mods anyway like the ability to set your own default skins and remove the map border etc..

I have to say that as I beleive that this patch will not support the 6DOF that has been implemented with some of the other ....um...updates available then I think it will be missing out on one of the best things available for bringing the sim to life. In fact for me the 6DOF works better in IL2 than ROF or FSX.

Personally, and this is only personally and in no way detracting from the clever work carried out by the patch 4.10 developers, I am not remotely interested in radar led night fighter operations, as an example.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that with SOW just around the corner and many other add-on sources available out there, how important is this patch anyway? It seems to be all a bit too late.

@Drum_tastic:
6DOF will not be implemented because it needs to change every cockpit in il2 to get i good looking, a bit too much work.
