Priority bugs & other issues that need to be looked into

I think it would be a simple request, but i'd go one step forward and advocate an extra option.

1) Controls move the same in all aircraft.
2) How they do it depends on what control scheme you choose:

• Function-relevant controls: You get the same function for moving your controls a certain direction in all aircraft, regardless of how the real one operated.
  
  If you move a slider forward or press the "increase function X key", it always corresponds to an increase. Mixture gets richer, throttle is opened, RPM is increased and so on.
  
  In aircraft with reversed controls (for example the RAF mixture controls and all the engine controls in Italian fighters like the G.50) advancing your controls forward results in the animated lever in the in-game cockpit moving the opposite way to give you the function you need.
  
  In short, forward (for a slider) or an increase command (for keyboard/buttons) ALWAYS gives you more of a certain function, regardless of how the controls in the real aircraft had to be moved to get this effect.
  
  
• Control position relevant controls
  With this scheme, sliders and keyboard commands don't command a certain function, they command the position of the in-game animated sliders. What happens in each case depends on the aircraft you are flying.
  
  If you are flying an RAF plane with their reversed mixture levers then you will have to pull your sliders back or press the "decrease" keybinding to go towards full mixture, if you are flying a G.50 you will have to pull the throttle fully back to actually go to full throttle and so on, because the controls mentioned are reversed in the real aircraft.
  
  In summary, to get the desired effect you will need to move your controls the same direction they had to in reality for each different aircraft.

3) The above choice should be reflected on the motor controls info window, so that people who use it don't get confused by mis-matched information between their actual game controller's position, the position of the in-cockpit animated controls and the position displayed for the controls by the info window.

Thank you MODS. now lets hope Luthier keeps a eye on it too

the 6dof integrated with the mouse panning should be increased enough as you could easily center the crosshair of the 109 just panning up left a litle

that would also allow to look behind the bars better

Get rid of all that useless chat/wording on the screen. When someone buys the game, they dont want a screen drowned in words.

It should be an option to turn it on. And how many buyers
would understand how to remove it unless they visited this forum?

It is Mr 'Average' in the street who will ultimately decide if CoD is successful or not. Don't make Mr 'Average's' experience of the game negative.


Best Regards,

3 - ▬ Ceiling capability of all aircraft is too low

Many,if not all performance tests with prototypes was done without ammo or even weapons, and even some of the armor protection were installed later with experience from dogfights,
so it was much lighter at those tests. So to asume combat performance should reach same levels, is to ask too much.
But i agree there still are some planes thats nowhere near correct FM.

Fighting against and/or leading a squad into battle is like daja vue all over again. If not for the beautiful cockpits and improved damage modeling you are flying IL-2 1946. I do not use CEM however I cannot keep pace with my squad. or catch an aircraft whose top line speed is 50mph below mine. The twin engine bombers( including the Bf-110) when set to vetern skill level ,out manuver the single engined fighters by a long shot.They can perform amazing acrobatic moves defying the laws of physics and never lose speed. AI will shoot 2400 rounds of ammunition at a single target without one round striking it. An AIfghter will also fly for eternity even after it's virtual pilot has bailed
Can this be corrected?

I honestly think the most important 'bug' that needs to be examined is the 'memory leak' or whatever it is causing gradual performance degradation over repeated play. There have been several posts about it in various parts of the forum - and no word from Luthier...

The sim still isn't performing anywhere near the level it should be, I'm a bit horrified that they're almost out of improvements! Until the performance degradation is fixed, any improvements are hard to test properly - and of course it's not doing wonders for the gameplay.

After every mission I need to restart the game for best performance.

Alternately, use the Options > Controls Page to set up a control profile for each plane individually... perhaps the Devs could work into the sim a method which would have the particular Profile auto-select when entering the mission and have available in the axis setting a REVERSE Axis tick box - if one already isn't in there.

In case I confused Insuber, this is what I meant as quoted from BlackDog_kt's post. I want the axes to reflect the cockpit. I'm quite happy to have other selectable options, I just wouldn't use them.
