To pull this particular tooth once and for all there will not be a map of the Channel area in Il-2 in a patch released by TD. This was specifically mentioned in the agreement with 1C.

Mine is 3 years old and runs with mods like remade cockpits and 3D of new models without trouble.

Not gonna happen. Team policy is to do things by the book and only include stuff that fulfills the tech specifications. 250MB+ cockpit textures or 20000 poligons aircraft are simply a waste of PC ressources, especially when a similar result can be achieved with a lot less texture size and poligons. It just takes more work.

Claymore's pits are not only about textures, it's about the whole recreation of all the things that are missing in Oleg's cockpits : gauges, lights, switchs, etc.

But still he exceeds texture limits by the factor of 10 to 15. That's the issue here ...

But they are so niiiiiice !

I mean, really, it's now up to CoD level! With so much detailed informations and everything !

What about the AI ? Will you improve it ?

[Bolelas]

Are you planing to put mixture in axis, like you did to radiator?
If you dont, well, at least i want to tank daidalos team for radiator axis and multi throttle!

Hopefully an easy one - could you please remove the coloured spinners for the Il-2's? This will be a big improvement for us Sturmo flyers.


Not so easy - longer vehicle and tank convoys would be much appreciated by mission builders - especially ones that are longer than the average bridge length, so we can make convoy movements look much more realistic, and not have the pauses/traffic jams between consecutive convoys as they stop at each bridge.


Finally, if you're making more current AI's flyable, I'd most like to see the Me-210, Su-2 and Tu-2 made flyable as they all offer good utility for creating missions.

Anyway, thanks for your work, it's much appreciated.

Claymore's FW190 cockpit fit perfectly 2005 PCs. Some other cockpits don't, but his do.
