Daidalos Team's Room -QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS ONLY - For 4.11

[HeavyRaider]

Thanks Team Diadalos, you folks are doing an awesome job. IL2 is my #1 game so your efforts are much appreciated.

I only have one request for you to resolve. I recently purchased a Matrox triplehead2go and have successfully configured IL2 to run across three screens. However, I play almost exclusively with cockpit off and have discovered that the red/blue arrow indicators no longer function correctly and are now useless. Rather than point to the location of other players around the screen edge, only the left hand edge displays the arrows and even then don't seem to indicate player location quite correctly.

I never use padlock but instead always fly in free-view mode with trackir, and rely on the arrows to show player location, a function that is particularly important during close combat when things are changing very quickly. Flying without the arrows is proving to be quite a serious disadvantage....not unlike flying with cockpit on.

Hopefully this enhancement request makes sense. I am happy to provide more information if you need.


Cheers.

I just want to second HeavyRaider's request. However, I just have one widescreen monitor running at 1920x1080 and have issues with the arrows. They only appear at the top and bottom of my screen and in the wrong locations.

Basically, game needs better native widescreen resolution support.

thats why i never fly on servers, where those arrows are on. because i need to enable cockpit, so other players (with no widescreen monitors) have a big advantage in comparison with me. %)

not sure if it's been raised before, but a couple of things spring to mind

1. can the MG/cannon buttons be switched for the Ta-152 c and h models? currently if you press the mg only button it fires the 30mm on both planes, and cannon fires the 20mm. would be great if this were switched to match all the other planes in game.

2. the oil splatter on the windscreen of ki-61s. fairly sure i've seen that this would be literally impossible due to the location of the necessary bits in the engine. it'd splatter out of the bottom, not the top and onto the windshield.

cheers

The 'U' variants of the A5 have the outer MGFF removed, but for some reason the weight goes up not down. The 'R' versions have 4 cannon, the 'U' just 2, but loadout for loadout the U is heavier than the R. Would be nice if that was fixed in 4.11.

Hello everyone,

I have another two VERY SMALL requests for 4.11. First, can the German-operated Fw190F-8 default skin NOT have the Hungarian fin flash on the rudder? Naturally, Hungarian Fw190F-8s can retain the fin flash. This is extremely easy to fix since you can just take the skin of the Fw190F-8(Mistel) and copy it over to the German Fw190F-8. Alternately, you could get the good Capt. Farrel to make a really sexy default skin . Very little work for big payoff immersion-wise. This has annoyed me since the Fw190F-8 came out with Forgotten Battles to the point that I have yet to do a German Fw190F-8 campaign because of it. Secondly, I have noticed a small bug with the Opel Blitz Ambulance where the Red Cross on the roof changes position based on how far away you are from it. This is likely just a little bug with the UV mapping on the LOD1 of this model (pictures are attached to show this).

Cheers and thanks,

The 4.09 skin pack changes the default skin to a German one.

3. Some kind of indication as to sight range for the k14gyro gunsight would be appreciated as well, to aid in setting at actual convergence rather than just guessing the bandit range

Agree.I lost a bit of interest in playing IL2 since I changed my PC because after all the compatibility tweaks I had to do,now it seems to run like a very oooold game,like Duke Nukem 3d.
