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

[Pursuivant]

It seems to me that a very simple change, which would render a number of mods obsoleted, would be to increase the number of loadouts available for planes in the game.

For example, there is evidence that the P-40M carried "bazooka" style rockets, that the Luftwaffe experimented with having the Do-217 carry torpedoes, and that the Fiat G-50 was fitted with hardpoints so that it could carry bombs. Bombers like the A-20 and B-25 could carry far more varieties of ordinance, or combinations of ordinance, than are currently modeled in the stock game.

On a purely visual level, there's evidence that U.S. lend-lease planes were fitted to carry Soviet or British bombs and/or rockets.

Basically, if there's any evidence that a plane could carry a particular type of ordinance in a particular nation's inventory, there's no reason that it shouldn't be modeled in the game.

On a purely hypothetical level, the various "Luftwaffe 46" planes, perhaps including real planes like the Bf-109K, Do-335, FW-190D, Hs-162, Me-262A or Ta-152 could all get loadouts of the late war German weapons like the Fritz X.

Just one request really, not sure if it was posted before:

• differential braking with toe brakes some of us use with rudder pedals.

For the planes that had them off course.

Not a request, just a question. Sorry for the ignorance. I dont use MODs, not against, but a few days ago i went for the 1st time to MODs room in this forum, and i read about some guy named Aachens that made a preciser "program" of the flight models used in IL2. Is it accepted as closer to real models? Is it possible to use it for the stock version? Dificult to implement? Legaly possible?

Thanks for Daidalos Team excelent work. I think you should have some paypal account were we could deposit some help (i cannot help with computing or 3D models). I am not rich, (far from that), but i would be glad to help with 5 or 10€, and if many give a little, the comunity would help a lot.
Of course you say that you dont want profit, but tools are needed for work, computers sometimes get damage, need repair, etc, and at least you should not have economic losses...

THANK YOU ALL.

It would be nice if you include widescreen support. As you know - widescreen is new standard and I'm sure that most of people here have 16x9 monitors. Nowadays you are able to config in conf.ini file to play with this kind of monitor but this is not comfortable. There should be support for most popular resolutions in standard (I have 1360x768 monitor and playing il-2 is a little bit complicated). Greetings!

you can go in to the config.ini and change your resolution to match your native widescreen. Just remember to saveaspect to =0

[window]
width=1920
height=1080

DepthBits=24

No Mastiff, it doesn't really solve the problem. In this way you can get rid of the black bars at either side of the screen but at the cost of losing a fairly large portion of the view at the top and bottom. I would also like very much to see a true widescreen support.

THere are two issues with wide-screen support, first is unable to select proper resolution from the list, wchich is easy to work-around by manually alter config file

Second issue is smaller vertical FOV, which ca be only solved by mods. Problem is not everyone wants to fly modded install and mods doesn't work for everyone (i've tried carmasters and different one (can't find wchich one it was). None f them worked for me and my install get prone to crash.
