4.10 Support & Bug Reporting

If they dont turn on until 200m then they were probably under my nose before they turned on, especially as without threshold lights I was landing long to avoid landing before the invisible runway started!

I saw your other post, but since we're getting no info from TD, we can at least discuss this ourselves You can request lights anywhere, but they get activated only when you hear "Roger" in response to the request. I was asking whether the distance from the lights when they will actually be lit is set, and to what value, and if we could change that distance to something reasonable (like inner or outer marker).

In general, I don't have a clue how those dim lights they've put into the mission would be of any use. Nowadays rwy lights are directional and not dimmed in any way, in WW II - I don't know, but the lights that you've added to the mission look more likely and are more useful.

Oh and one other thing DT, can we please get the landing lights for B-25?. Here's one B-25 J that definitely has them...

4.10 facts and Bug list:

- visibility problem (problems spoting contacts in the far distance like in 4.09)
- spitfire with that huge wings got NO STALL in vertical climb with speed of 150-160 km/h
- physics and aerodinamics historically incorrect
- damage model spitfire vs. damage model FW-190 or 109 (WHAT THE ****)
- spitfire with that huge wings and cannons sticking out of the wings CAN follow FW-190 who is diveing from 3.0 alt, speed 800 km/h and over, get in shooting position and shoot it down - IMPOSSIBLE.
- P-47 large piece of heavy metal outturning FW-190 D9 but with no problem-hahahahaha NOT

I see spitfire pilots complaining about spitfire. Stop complaining about UNREALISTIC wonderplanes like spitfire because a 10 year old kid with a keyboard can beat ace BF-109 pilot with that Spitfire or Lavochkin. My question is, how the hell whole RAF was destroyed in reallife when here Spitfires and Lavochkins got Star Trek technology in Il-2 sim? Doing turns, rolls and then pushing up to shoot a target that have 1.0 more alt than him. What machine have power like that? Not even one, not even todays machines have power like that.

I like structural damage in 4.10. I'm looking forward to these things to be fixed. TD be very carefull with these things, IL-2 is classic. I am back for more testing of 4.10. All in all thank you for your constant work on IL-2!

Rainmaker: That is not a 'bug list' nor is it a facts list.

Some say that during the Battle of Britain when Hitler and Goering decided to change the strategies and to bomb London instead of maintain the pressure over the RAF, the last one was almost colapsed.

One or two more weeks and RAF would be out of action. Churchil was very happy with the "geniality" of the Fuhrer.

1) Dowding has always strenuously denied that the RAF was ever in serious danger of not being able to keep putting up sufficient fighters.

2) You are talking about a bombing campaign that , although causing a lot of damage and temporarily restricting operations at various airfields, was in no way an indication of the Spitfires lack of dogfighting abilities.
