It's something I pray for when driving my sub in SH4...

Not to be sarcastic but how do you think the naval ships kept from colliding at sea? Even the most modern Aircaft carrires have low level lighting for the air crews.

I did a bit of the beta testing for "White Sun, Blue Sky" and the very first problem I found was a carrier hitting a freighter at the mouth of Pearl Harbor. Both ships sank.

It happens.

Now that was sarcastic...

IDK if WWII ships already had complex light systems like modern ones.

I was not being sarcastic. During testing of the campaign made by "Chuck Older" a carrier collided with a freighter at the mouth of Pearl Harbor on the Hawaii map. It was just a course placement error that was done when building the map in the FMB. It's very easy to have these problems if you have ships running very close to each other, as it's quite hard to see their actual course trace in the FMB unless you zoom way in and follow each one. That takes a lot of time on a map with lots of things happening at once. And it's why testing of user made campaigns is essential.

"Where you did read about Spitfire made from a wood?
Close this book forever and don't open anymore!" - OM

It all makes sense now

You didn´t get the joke.
When you say it happens,it can in IL2,but not in real life (I strongly believe!)

Why are you guys jumping all over his throat? It's a language barrier thing at best and while some of his posts are weird, he also comments in a more straighforward fashion and posts interesting diagrams.

We're on the forum of a Russian developer as members of an international community, but some people seem to expect everyone to have a near perfect command of the English language. The best thing is when some lace their posts with alternating instances of "your" in the place of "you're", or "slang-speak" along the lines of "i should of" instead of "i should have", which makes a non-native speaker like me wonder if they do it on purpose, making mistakes due to being in a hurry or they just weren't that good in spelling to begin with

No offence, but if his posts annoyed me that much or i didn't have anything to respond to him, i'd simply bypass them. Maybe Oleg has to enforce a Russian speaking week from time to time and have us all post here through google translate for his team to point and laugh at, so that we can finally understand that lacking the ability to communicate in a certain language doesn't automatically detract from our right to say our piece or determine the actual validity of our opinion. Not funny when it happens to us i guess

By the way i can understand what he means just fine. He's talking about tube launched signal or illumination flares, the use of which was both historical and well documented. I don't know if the tube in the Spitfire cut-away diagram is for this purpose, but you can see a similar device on the screenshots of the SoW Wellington posted a few updates back. How do i manage to do it? I read his posts, then look at those pretty pictures he posts to fill in the blanks, the same ones that seem to annoy people so much

[Romanator21]

No, no, no Blackdog, it's much more than a language barrier. (You say a language barrier at best, but what is it at worst?)

It's not that he doesn't understand English - we still understand him very well - it's just that he posts nothing but meaningless blabber. Have you read his contributions? Ok, to be fair, he posts some nice links and pictures, but 90% of the time it's just...

Well, let's just say that the Spitfire does not have a "tube launcher", and is certainly not made of wood.

Thank you for calling me out Blackdog, but I insist that my problem is not a language barrier, I understand Xilon perfectly well. My problem is that the vast majority of his posts (at least the ones I've seen) are an insult to Oleg and his team, and often to the whole community. I hate to see people I respect insulted, so it gets me riled up.

But since my own opinion is that the lad is unstable, I should be applying the grace that I have been called to all the more liberally, so this will be my last post on the subject of Xilon. In the future I'll take out my frustration on Tree.....(just kidding! ).

P.S: I still wish you guys would stop quoting him though
